The real trio of Kamen Rider Saber are here!
SO-DO Saber Book 4 is great because it comes with so many unique characters/suits and no filler army builder characters. Only Touma himself is repeated twice. Having already completed Buster, I just had to pick up the 2 other Sword Riders.
First off, both were a massive pain. Kenzan has a ton of stickers that don't want to fit right because they are on curved surfaces. And because of his unique designs, there's not much of a choice with paint. I also straight up mixed up his two sword stickers so I will eventually have to print my own. I painted his weapon a more realistic metallic green, instead of that bright yellow-green plastic color. I like this figure, very dynamic looking, but he seems a bit taller than he should be. Also his dual weapons throw off his balance for any poses you might be trying to do without the stand.
Slash... wow took a lot of paint. Which I guess is fine because he is worth it, but he needs brown, white, and tan- colors that are a pain to paint. I mixed a lot of brown paint and painted in a bunch of areas and
then
realized there was still a lot of places to paint; so I had to re-mix more brown and couldn't get the color just right. Also his chest armor looks oddly flat. His wrist doughnut things had no sticker at all and I just painted the whole thing tan after trying to paint it two colors for accuracy. Good luck to anyone trying that!
I think Slash ended with the most paint of any SO-DO I've done so far, beating out Gaim. You can't see it but I panted the inside of his armor metallic blue which is more visible in the show.
These Sword Riders are super cool and I love how different they look from each other and don't follow a template like the Seiken Swordriver users.
I don't know yet if I want to do the other figures from Book 4. Dragonic Knight looks mighty fine but I don't really collect the super forms. Let me know if anyone wants to trade for some base forms, I'm looking for Blades and Espada.
Also I really wish all the Saber figures came with an angled sword hand like Gaim!
