Also it's looking like Geats will be a pain for the SO-DO guys to make, for those who've seen the trailer and images, what do you think?

I think we'll see SO-DO with just upper and lower halves + accessories.
I only hope we get a bike. The bike from the teaser looks cool.

Bandai updated their product page for By9.
https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/produ...835417000.html It confirms that By9 is 10 different boxes. If there was unrevealed boxes, they'd list them as something like ????. These pages don't tell the case size, so either this wave is reduced to a case of 10 or there's duplicates to fill the space left by Ultimate Revi and Vice. |

Wow, okay. That is a bit lame. Guess the Geats line is gonna be doing a fair bit of catchup

I was expecting at least the rest of Demons power ups and more Jeanne weapons. I'm still not sure if we're getting a By10 either because normally the new SO-DO line starts in October. It's all a mess right now, that's for sure.

I think we'll still see some of those Demons/Jeanne weapons as extra accessories not yet revealed in By9 boxes

Every time I think I'm done painting SO-DO Kabuto, Gatack, and TheBee, I find something else to paint. So in the meantime, I'll take this chance to talk a bit about Shodo-XX. In general, there's a lot of improvements. waist joints that function quite well along with the mid torso joint. Somehow still has the drop down hips. They picked a great line up to introduce the toe joint as characters like Kuuga do have well known poses that use the toes. The shoulder pads continue to be a weak point, but they are on the better side. In fact, most don't seem to notice that XX have butterfly joints in the shoulders because the shoulder pads reduces the use of those. Said joints are still appreciated though. My set doesn't have any major issues. Like one eye of a figure has a scuff on it and that's the worst of it. What's odd about this wave is that I have older figures of all of them, so let's compare. Shodo VS Black (mine is custom painted) vs Shodo-XX Black Black and Black RX are leaps for me because I never got the Shodo-X versions. If I have one complaint about Shodo Black figures is they've made this character 3 times now and they still only paint the front of his wrist and ankle bands. That aside, all the positives I mentioned above are true here. I quite like the new hands to. Shodo VS Black RX vs Shodo-XX Black RX This is the biggest leap. Better everything. The shoulder are still a bit limited, but no where near as badly as the VS. Of course, the VS Black RX was one of the weakest VS figures with ugly hips, wrong elbows, etc. I do wish that XX Black RX still painted the back, but that's about it. Shodo VS Kuuga Mighty (mine is custom painted) vs Shodo-XX Kuuga Mighty XX Kuuga is shiny. Me like. They both have about the same amount of paint out of the box, my VS just has more because of me. The difference is what's painted and what kind of paint they used. The metallic red is oh so good. The back of the belt isn't painted, but the much harder to paint myself ankle bands are painted, so great trade off imo. Shodo-XX Kuuga Rising Mighty vs SO-DO Chronicle Kuuga Rising Mighty Look at that toe joint! It's so good! Pretty much what XX did to Mighty applies to Rising Mighty. This is great, but also the less said about SO-DO Chronicle Kuuga, the better. Shodo-XX Zero-One Rising Hopper vs SO-DO Zero-One Rising Hopper I will take XX Zero-One's shoulder pads over the SO-DO any day. Almost lost one just taking this picture. Nothing wrong with the SO-DO, the Shodo just has hindsight on its side. The molded suit texture is quite nice. SO-DO Zero-One Metal Cluster Hopper vs Shodo-XX Zero-One Metal Cluster Hopper Metal Cluster Hopper's shoulder pads do not feel good. There's little spikes that get in the way and are warping. Other than that, he's just as great as Rising Hopper. The handles for the Hopper Blade have very thick paint on them. I had to take a file to them to get them to peg in.I wish I had an unused set of Hopper Blade SO-DO stickers because I think they might fit this and it would make it look cooler. Also, on both of the Zero-Ones, the black circles around the eyes make them pop so much more than the SO-DO eyes ever did. Anyways, I've rambled enough. Bottom line is XX does a lot right in my book, but there's still times I wish they did more. |

This week in Candy Toy Updates
The first selection of Geats stuff, being four of the weapon belt buckles - Gridon's Hammer, Build's Water gun, a shield and a bowgun. Kamen Rider Juuga! And a SHODO release for (what I assume are) the Donbrothers villains! Always nice to see monster suits see any form of release!

From the press conference, we learned the shield and bowgun are repaints of the Shield Module and Zamona's weapon (from the Zi-O movie) respectively
Edit: Blog also confirmed that By9 will only include those previously announced 10 boxes. Juuga will be part of the as of now unnamed Geats line presumably Last edited by MrWilliamGraham; 08-06-2022 at 10:20 PM.. |
