Thanks for replying. Shoot, you're right. It was 2 years ago. SDCC 2015 - Toynami Robotech - The Toyark - News

I remember F5ing their website Robotech for months but nothing happened. I guess it fell through. oh well. would have been cool to have.

Are those all the official iterations or did you mix and match parts? Up until this roller coaster release, I only counted 9 bodies.

Here are all the official release colors so far. Plus there are translucent clear and translucent blue figures.

I passed on the coasters but I got a pile of the go-karts and rickshaws. I wish US companies would make stuff like these.

SHODO Kamen Rider Wave 6 came in today. I was a little disappointed there was only one of the rat/lizard guy. He was by far my favorite of this wave.

Here is the case breakdown with 2 sets of each of the variant figures.

I put one of each color hands on each figure but they do come with both right and left of each color and a set of silver hands.

That's a shame, I'm starting to like the female molds introduced in this wave better then the male ones, might have something to do with mold degradation though. Also, if there's no IP to attach them to, the US market likely wouldn't respond well to it. I'd buy tons of them though lol

Have they improved how they're conducted since the first wave? They've always been a little irksome to play with imo

They are pretty solid. The issues I have are typically the connection of the hands or forearm hand combination. I usually hand to use a little superglue because they are really, really easy to lose.

Ninjinister · 08-01-2017, 06:07 PM

I'm super glad they don't have attachable/detachable antenna like wave 1. Those things fall out just sitting there even after I tried gluing them in.

I glued mine in solid, only problem was, v3s antennae snapped twice

I wish the SHODO Kamen Rider wave 6 assortment included more bad guys. Only one troop builder per case

Still excited that my box should be here this week!

I'd have expected a Cyclone variant since we got Joker.

The solicitations for Shodo VS Wave 7 are out. Seems Bandai is catching on and blacking out the secrets.

BANDAI 2017å¹´11æœˆç™¼å”®: é£ŸçŽ© SHODO Kamen Rider VS7 å…±6æ¬¾ @500Yen | TAGhobby.com

1. ZO
2. Neo Organism Doras
3. OOO TaToBa
4. Birth
5. Secret
6. Secret

Clue #1 is indeed OOO's tiger chest
Clue #2 is Doras' forehead. Everyone was wrong on that one.

There are 2 secrets this time and seeing as there's very little of ZO to go around, I'm betting they're Proto Birth and either OOO with his claws out or a combo (maybe Super TaToBa because repaint).

This EX wave be released in mid June and Stage 8 will be late June.

Did we ever see a release of these?

YES. Zo was my introduction to Kamen Rider, from the Sega CD game. This is glorious.

I'm surprised they're skipping straight to OOO characters though. There's so much in-between they jumped over!

Yes, they came out in June. (Final name was DaiSoDo.) They turned out quite nice. The better articulation and paint apps make a big difference. I thought I read something about a Premium Bandai release sometime down the line.

The Super TV-kun Gold magazine exclusive Summer Gamer Ex-Aid is also out. I thought it was going to be just a repaint, but it's got new parts and is a lot nicer than I would have guessed.

theArchivist · 08-18-2017, 05:39 AM

Ultraman SHODO VS3 is out and on the way. I also ordered a complete set of those new colored POSE Skeletons. I haven't really seen any good pictures of the actual products yet so that should be interesting.

Kamen Rider VS7 is up for preorder with a Nov release date.No pictures yet though.

Another wave of Epoch robots are coming as well with a secret male and female robot.

Ninjinister · 08-19-2017, 11:10 AM

Any word on the next Dragon Ball Shodo set? After the disappointing last wave, I'm hoping the next one will make up for it.

Blade Raider · 08-19-2017, 03:26 PM

AmiAmi has SO-DO Build 1 up. Like HLJ, it says 6 types and is one set and not a case (not sure what's going on with HobbySearch's listing that says 8 types and a case of 12).

Honestly, Ex-Aid's SO-DO line burned me out, but if they're sold in sets going forward, I might be okay with this.
