The Zenkaiger Yu-Do are split across 9 boxes. 2 for each Kikanoid robot form.
I would love a Yu-Do chronicle, but Bandai may just be focusing on SHODO with how well those sets sold. I think SHODO is a better fit for Sentai too, with the soft plastics and prepainted parts. I just want a line to be in scale across Kamen Rider and Sentai.

You'd need a couple of boxes for some characters for sure -- Gingaman's Black Knight comes to mind, as does Boukenger's Zubaan and perhaps Carranger's Signalman. But the vast vast majority of cases would be as simple as YU-DO's usual fare -- one box each, with an extra accessory box for all their weapons.

Which one? The reason I ask is because most SHODO figures that I'm aware of use the soft plastic shoulder hinges - the ones you have to bend a little if you want to do certain poses with the arms. I'm really curious about how hard it is to get them back in place if you have them in a certain pose for too long.
I love that this style of shoulder pads is show-accurate, but the way they've done it kind of makes me worry since I haven't been able to check in on my figures in a super long time. |

For the Shodo with shoulder pads, it depends on the design and what you want to do with them. They're made of soft PVC and push out of the way as needed. The more open the shoulder pad, the better. The early shoulder pads are pretty limiting, but the designs have improved greatly over the years. In recent years, the collar that the pads are attached to are not glued down as much making it easier to get out of the way and reset. As long as you're not wanting to put their arms above their head, you can get a good range out of most of them without problem. Leaving them in a pose that bends the pads for a long time may cause them to never fully reset, but most poses don't need to bend them enough that it's that noticeable.

...huh.
BBTS just put up pre-orders for Saber So-Do, so I guess they're testing out carrying more than just Chronicle and special releases.

Almost a fair price too! Those box sets should really be no more than $60.
Candy toys are a nightmare to import to the US due to all the restrictions and regulations. For example, if the item has any form of consumable in it at all (ie: the little piece of candy/gum in candy toys) it must be transported via refrigerated storage at the freight level.

Yeah, for just a few extra dollars per figure, I'd totally buy these.
Just would like to know who's in the box before I take the dive.

Thinking of getting the P-Bandai Trychaser 2000 and Gouram set to complete the Kuuga collection before I finally watch the last 10 or so episodes. Don't want to spend too much, but also would rather not deal with Japanese shipping costs for just one item, so does anyone know approximate how big the box size Mandarake would use for just that item, so I can try and see if I can fit anything else in without bumping to the next box size tier?

just ordered the 12 box Zi-O set 4
it was only 1500 yen. Now I'm just hoping the extra boxes include some spare action bodies (they probably won't) |
