Yu-Do has come a long way since it first started. The stickers have gotten better and the articulation is much better, no doubt riding on the success of SO-DO engineering.

I have high hopes for the Zenkaiger Yu-Do, as they are pretty far from the standard humanoid mold.

So speaking of larger figures in a typically smaller line, the Converge line of figures followed the same path. They wanted to introduce larger figures so they made a "Converge EX" and even did a poll asking what Gundam suits they'd like to see.

The result was a lot of P-Bandai stuff that took the candy line to some pretty high prices. A lot of it Bandai doesn't consider "essential" (like a suit that only appeared in a side manga) so the prices are pretty high, but after doing a lot of these EX releases they've now started doing "SP" and "Plus1" editions which are like the EX but usually have more retail availability.

Maybe none of this matters, but its all Bandai Candy toy division and I think they're stilling figuring things out. I've honestly been surprised at how much the Saber SO-DO are packing in the boxes. Buster and his giant sword felt so premium!
