Next week: Some SO-DO CHRONICLE news. Does not say what. I'm thinking either Kabuto wave 2 or some PB set for a past line.

EDIT: By8's release date is 6/27.


Also YU-DO blog showcasing DonBrothers wave 1 and all the improvements to the figures.

That picture of Saru Brother's butt looks like the start of a Youtube thumbnail so I had finish it.

And this is a retail wave!

Yes! These are some awesome reveals! also it's really nice to see how the items are distributed to get a better understanding of the wave/engineering.

and we got a sneak peek of the first figure, which admittedly has less silver paint than I would've liked

It's pretty cool how Kabuto is one of those seasons that can very neatly fit all its TV Rider suits (plus an HBV!!) into two waves. A ZECTrooper and the bikes would've been nice but for Riders themselves it's really just a Preban set of the movie trio and that's it. I wager we'll be seeing a preview of the next Chronicle line before too long...

Just to add: pre-orders open June 20 and releases in October

So my thought for the next wave is gonna be faiz cause faiz can just be 1 wave of Faiz, Accel, Blaster, Kaixa and Delta. Blade Raider did propose the idea to me that they could do a wave of just orphanoics since those seem to sell pretty decently. I'm thinking Wolf, Horse, Crane, Snake, and Grasshopper, what do y'all think of that? What do you think the next set will be?

[Kurona]

Going by SO-DO's focus on gimmicks or just popular elements and mechanics of each series (OOO's combos, Kabuto's cast off, Ryuki's mirror monsters and 13 riders), I think a Faiz line would almost certainly do all 3 Rider Machines. I could easily see the Auto Vajin with an accessory pack letting it transform being in the retail waves, and then Kaixa's Side Bashaar and Delta's Jet Sliger being Premium Bandai. Orphnochs would definitely not get a full wave to themselves, they're not *that* marketable. I could see Wolf and Horse being in a retail wave but then the others would be Preban. There's also the Riotroopers to consider
