Okay! It looks like, for the low price of $22.32 with tax and shipping, I will soon be the owner of SHODO Birth and OOO, you monsters. I was looking for something that'd get here fairly quick (since it doesn't make sense for an impulsive purchase to take a month to arrive) and not have a bunch of Riders I don't care about (since I don't truck with Showa). Luckily, some Canadian dude was selling just OOO and Birth for $17 before shipping and such, so I took a chance.

Thanks for all of the various feedbacks, I'll be sure to post something here when I get 'em!

Congrats. Now watch your wallet writhe in pain.

Me: I wonder if these tiny, cheap figures are any good?

The TokuNation Boards: Here's a ton of useful info and honest feedback that makes these toys seem super-fun and something you'll want to get a bunch of.

I'm so sorry for what we've done to you

[Kiryu]

to be fair, SODO is cheap enough that you can probably complete and entire show's cast, alt forms and all for far less than what an average Figuarts will run you these days lol.

So, like, that's the argument that's getting me into trouble. Figuarts, even the ones that aren't ridiculously expensive Premium Bandai Exclusives... it's not that they're out of my price range, but they're definitely more than I want to spend on action figures. (Transforming robot toys, totally different equation.) So, thus far, I've kept my Figuarts purchases to the main forms for the primary Rider of shows I've watched. That's my rule, and I've stuck to it so far.

But these SO-DO figs, these goddamn SO-DO figs... they're so cheap, individually, that it's easier to just get whatever looks cool. A whole case of a series, with four to six figs and maybe some accessories, it's less than half what I'd pay for a Figuarts. What a deal! Hell, at those prices I can get a couple series! And, man, it'd be cool to have every Build form, and the W ones are fairly recent, and I love OOO, and and and all of a sudden I'm spending way more on SO-DO figs than I'd maybe be spending on getting a Figuarts a month. That's my fear, that the collector bug takes over and I'm scouring Mandarake for a HBV-only Build form that I don't really love but now I'm paying $40 with shipping to own it because it's the only one I'm missing. I'm worried (maybe unnecessarily, I haven't even messed around with these figs, maybe I'll hate them) that a hundred or so "cheap toys" will feel a lot less cheap to my bank account.

Anyway, that's how my broken brain works. I haven't even started enjoying something and I'm projecting my financial ruin. How's your Saturday going?

Ok, so who thinks set 5 should be called Zi-O featuring Zero-One?

[Kurona]

That's basically what it is, though that's generally to be expected when there also isn't really any Zero-One stuff to do except Metal Cluster, Zero Zero One, Ichigata, and... uh... the Kangaroo one? Oh, and they confirmed the dodo one to be in development too. Meanwhile, Zi-O left these guys with a LOT of stuff to do. Kinda surprised to see Geiz Majesty this early, though!

We've still got Tsukuyomi and the three summer movie riders to go too, so I totally expect the next wave to be that lot plus Metal Cluster. Zero-One's had a surprisingly small amount of suits despite all the riders, so this was just natural.

I hope they aren’t going to clog up the series with the not quite heisei riders. Give them a special set or something!
