I don't mind it on OOOs because if I'm painting a SO-DO/Shodo belt silver it must be a day ending in y (currently painting Black and Black RX's). The driver itself would also be wrong if paint because these can form change.
Kiva is much worse in the paint department. However, holding the ShodoVS in hand right now I'm noticing for all the more paint it has, it's way more sloppy than what I've seen on recent figures. Still, I do wish the red bat eyes and the green open leg eyes were painted. |

Unpainted belts are understandable for me, it's more the lines going out from the chest medal that get me. Without both those and belt paint it makes the whole waist section look bland

Also, there was news on the next Chodo Alpha wave the other day -- Ultraman, Zetton, Glitter Trigger and Celebro-possessed Z (there is tragically no alternate normal Z head). This marks by the by the first Showa figure in Alpha and the first Kaiju. All that and a figure they're keeping secret till later -- no hints to what it is yet. Given the secrecy I think it could be Decker's final form but we'll have to wait and see
For accessories, the included effects in the boxes themselves are Ultraman's Ultra Slash, Zetton's fireball (and a stand!), Celebro Z's purple energy... thing... and Glitter Trigger's VERY large Glitter Zeperion Beam. The accessory box further adds the Glitter Blade, Zetton's beam, the Spacium Beam and a small figure of Celebro himself https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20220917_ultraman

Ace was in the first wave. I only remember that because it's the wave with Beta Smash, so Ultra Holes. |

With OOO, Kuuga and Kiva being renewals from the latter parts of SHODO-VS's line, I decided to have a look at what else was around their waves to see what we could maybe expect renewals of soon:-
- ZX - ZO - Hibiki - Decade ZX, ZO and Decade I actually see as very likely to happen soon, because they'd only require one figure and hence one box out of the entire wave. Hibiki would almost certainly have Kurenai done alongside him as the usual easy recolour that SHODO loves so much. I think, also, we could probably start expecting SHODO-X renewals soon -- we already have with BLACK and RX, and I could definitely see #1 and #2 happening soon for the Shin KR synergy. I think the pattern for the next couple waves is going to look something like OOO, Renewal and a series not yet covered (which right now I think we're just at Gaim, Zi-O, Saber and Revice? Anyone holding out for The First???). That's what the most recent wave was with OOO, Kiva and Ghost being covered. That maybe seems like a lot of waves for OOO to appear in, but if they're going that all-in on Combo Change and it won the survey, I expect they'll cover all the in-show combos except Putotyra in the main retail waves.

So the latest sodo blog post was full of info. I'll try to recap later if no one else does.

Wah SO-DO Auto Vajin looks marvelous!
This is one of my favorite robot designs ever. We all saw this coming but I'm still super excited for it!

See, when some Bandai exec yells at a Gundam writer for naming another character after a woman’s genitals they can just point to this robot from Kamen Rider and say “Look they do it too!”
I watched that whole show and did not realize that was the robot’s name. Figure looks great too! I just… I’m not mature enough to handle the name. I’m sorry. |

I'm trilled they're taking the Arms Action Marika approach to Na-go where she has slightly different proportions, but only where it doesn't interfere with the form change gimmick.
