Agito excluding movie/special riders (G4, G3 Mild) and the Metal Hero kitbash suit can be fit into 2 sets provided Agito Trinity isn’t given an individual release, Same with Kiva to be honest

If the design team can figure out how to make the skirt not look like a giant flap, I think Wizard would work really well. His form changes are pretty modular that they could be done the same way as the Kuuga figures: buck body + chest/helmet

Hypothetical breakdown:
Wave 1
Flame Style
Water Style
Hurricane Style
Land Style

Wave 2
Flame Dragon
Water Dragon
Hurricane Dragon
Land Dragon

Wave 3
Infinity
Beast
Hyper Beast
White Wizard

The Twitter Candy Toy account revealed the next two Premium Bandai Shodo-XX sets and it's Shin Kamen Rider. After the Black Sun sets, I think we saw this coming. This is probably tomorrow's revel for Shodo in the blog.

First set is Rider 1 with trench coat and bike.


Second set is Rider 2 with trench coat and his bike.

I'm very pleasantly surprised they did the coats! From the looks of things it works basically like an arm swap, but I'm still very impressed at this scale.

What I'm not impressed about is the Premium Bandai tag... like, this is a super high profile movie that's far more relevant and in the public eye than anything SHODO is covering or could cover. Same for BLACK SUN, in fact. Surely both of these merited some sort of special extra retail release?

Candy toy Twitter account tweeted out an hour early. Link to the blog in the tweet isn't live yet, but the tweet's text does confirm that the blog tonight is about the Shodo-XX Shin Kamen Rider sets from last night and SO-DO Chronicle Fourze. Blog should go live around 8:30 EST.

I wasn't expecting Final Forms in wave 1. That's...interesting...

[Kurona]

I guess this answers how they'll be tackling series with a lot of forms/attachments: they just won't? I think we can at least expect to see this treatment for Drive and Ghost; just giving us the base and final forms in one wave if possible.

Bit let down, if I'm honest. It's not like I was totally wanting a new figure of Elek States or anything, but the cool thing about SO-DO CHRONICLE was how it strived for as much completionism as reasonably possible, and that just seems to have ended now? I'm suddenly not as excited about the prospect of an Agito line as I was yesterday

[Blade Raider]

Next week, the Geats fall out.



Also in Shin Kamen Rider, Rider 2 is taller than Rider 1 and Shodo went out of their way to make that accurate by making two completely different molds. I think that's neat.

Those Meteor planetary option parts set a new precedent for how far Bandai is willing to take sticker jobs. The ultimate curved surface, just a completely stickered sphere. Gunpla builders can never complain ever again.

Oh my lord! Lol. How can they sleep at night knowing they have unleashed such a thing on people and made them pay for it too?

I have trouble putting the chrome sticker on the shodo super boots and gloves. I can only imagine trying to sticker a globe.
