I'm VERY glad the accessories are included in the boxes this time! I was very confused last year when they split the Donbrothers into two boxes each but they couldn't even include the guns or alternate hands in one of them. I'm impressed that all accessories, actually, are included with each Ranger with no need for an accessory box at all; you get the full package here!

Might have to lay down a pre-order on this, but the lack of info on Kingohger so far has me hesitating

I'm gonna put a bet on Kiva, for no real reason besides it's got some great suits and enough to fill a wave or 3 easily.

Since the CHRONICLE "homework" vote was held a fair bit later than mainline SO-DO's, I imagine this won't be news on that; and of course there's nothing else for Faiz to cover unless they do Orphnochs, so this should be a new line.

What's everyone's bets? This is the full list of every series not yet covered by SO-DO:-
- All of Showa
- Agito
- Blade
- Hibiki
- Kiva
- Fourze
- Wizard
- Drive
- Ghost
- The First/The Next
- Amazons
- Black Sun
- Shin


Personally I'm kind of hoping it'll be something Showa. BLACK could make for a short one-wave line, or if it's a series from before then I imagine they could do one entire line for the seven legendary riders. There's also always the possibility it won't be any of these and they might just re-do Decade entirely!

My guess is PB Horse Orphnoch set. Because just about every time they say Chronicle next week when we're done with a series, they reveal 1-2 PB sets first, then then in like 3 weeks they'll reveal the next series for Chronicle. I would say the God, Speed, Love trio, but since they were in the Homework vote, I don't think it will be.

Anyways, I kind of want Hibiki for the sheer amount of Riders in it. A line of just Hibiki Riders would have a lot of figures. In fact I don't think 3 waves would even be enough to make them all. Biggest problem is Hibiki Riders are very shiny and kind of need a paint budget to look remotely good. I don't think it's a great idea, but it's the most interesting of what's left.

[AkibaSilver]

Would they really do all the minor Riders, though? I can see us getting Hibiki (Regular, Kurenai, Armed), and then Ibuki, Todoroki, and Zanki, but all the rest are more uncertain.

[Kurona]

I was thinking on it earlier, and given how they often handle these lines I think they would do all the Riders... featured in the TV show. So aside from the main guys listed above, you've got notable antagonist Shuki; three minor guys Eiki, Sabaki and Danki; and then Kyoki from the final episode. Everyone else was either movie-exclusive or in the second opening only, which, I don't think even SO-DO is insane enough to look at those guys for consideration. Movie riders or at least Kabuki alone could be a Preban release easily.

Along with the 6 actual major suits, if you cut one of those out that makes a clean two waves of five figures each. My thinking is it'd be Kyoki. I think this is fairly reasonable!

[Blade Raider]

Probably not, but a Hibiki Chronicle line would probably be the closest chance they have of getting made.

[AkibaSilver]

Sabaki's too much of a hard worker to model for your toy line, but he's glad you're thinking of him as he takes another full day to save the world.

I wanna say it's gonna be post decade cause we just got 2 pre decade series. I think maybe Wizard for the anniversary, but I'm hoping Ghost.

[Blade Raider]

Oh yeah, they like to do anniversaries. Wizard's was last year, but they do it late sometimes, so still could do that. I just fear Beast would be a PB figure and that's really all I need from Wizard. I'd still welcome it if only because the Shodo Wizard wasn't that great.

Going on the anniversary approach, we can strike Build (5), Gaim (10), and Faiz (20) because they have all been done (though a new Gaim PB set is probably on the table, plenty left to do there). Can also strike the Black RX and V3 because Showa is unlikely without just doing a bunch of them at once. That leaves Kiva and Kiva would work well in Chronicle. A lot like how Agito would work out.

I still want Ghost, but I'm very happy with the Shodo and if SO-DO doesn't do exactly what I want from a Ghost SO-DO line, I'd probably pass on it now.
