The girl-bot is about the same height as BAD C-3PO. I unfortunately can't post pictures because I'm still a newbie lurker.

Just got billed for the next Kamen Rider set. I actually had forgotten about this one so I was pleasantly surprised!

Probably because they were made for walking...

Lol! Dang autocorrect, it was supposed to say "the bots have good movement!"
Apparently they walked all over me.

Kamen Rider VS 9 is in

[Ninjinister]

Still waitin' on mine.

EDIT: USPS has it listed as "Pre-Shipment: Your package is on its way to a USPS facility."

Homies, Japan Post said this left glorious Nippon 10 days ago.

[Blade Raider]

If it makes you feel better, my tracking is doing the same. I think both of our orders might be on the same boat...or still in Japan...or wherever they are...

I didn't want to wait so I went with DHL...
And then of course they sat in the box and I didn't have time to even open them yet.

[Dragasses]

that takeshi hongo figure could be used to make extensive enterprises tomax/xamot customs.

I'm fine with saving a few bucks to let it take the slow boat. I just want to know where it is and why the status hasn't been updated.

EDIT 8/16: Says they're in LA now. Maybe they got holed up in customs for some reason.

EDIT 8/21: Finally showed up yesterday. Very impressed! Might need to get my hands on another Hongo or two though for customs....

For those interested, Kamen Rider Zi-O will be continuing SO-DO.



WATCHER vol.01 BLOG

All of Build's figures got a waist joint that only the Dai SO-DO Ex-Aid figures had. Zi-O toys gets a similar upgrade with alternate hands (and wrist joints) that only Dai SO-DO Build figures had.

AmiAmi has the preorders for waves 1-4 up (Had to search "soudou" for waves 1-3). Sets are already sold out, but cases are still there. There is a little new info from the listings.

Ride 1, Oct, has 7 types.
Ride 2, Oct, has 6 types.
Ride 3, Nov, has 8 types.
Ride 4, Dec, has 8 types.

That's 29 total types for just the first 4 waves. And here I thought Zi-O would be easier with less forms than Build. I don't think it's all forms, but I'm not sure what. I doubt it's past Riders because ShodoVS is a thing.

Thanks for the heads up, Blade Raider!

EDIT: The sets just became available as well.

[Ninjinister]

Problem I have when getting SHODOs is when the newest set arrives I'm so excited but at the same time antsy to get the next one already lol

I wish they'd be a little more timely with their DragonBall releases.

[hschell0002]

Just saw the magazine about So-do candy toys.
Kamen Rider Zi-O wave1, 7 types
Zi-O 2 types,
Geiz 2 types,
build armor 1 type,
Zi-O build armor body 1 type,
Geiz build armor body 1 type.

[Blade Raider]

Out of no where, pre-orders opened for Shodo X Kamen Rider wave 2:
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=GOODS-00249029

No pictures, but it does list what's in the wave:
-Faiz (Normal)
-Faiz Axel form
-Diend
-Auto Vajin A
-Auto Vajin B
-Expansion set

I've been lukewarm on the Shodo X because I have too many Rider 1s and Rider 2s and while that wave looks nice (better than the ones I have), I just didn't need more. But this is more Riders not yet made and a bike I really like. Mainly because Auto Vajin has a robot mode.

PS I love that Diend, who doesn't have a bike at all, is in a sub line mainly made to have bikes.

[domu]

Thanks (again!) for the heads up, Blade Raider!

[theArchivist]

I can't tell if these are the SHODO form factor or not. The look like they are but there isn't a size listed. It looks like this might be a sub-line called Chou dou

[Megavolt]

They announced this "Final Form" Ultraman X some time ago, when the last Shodo wave appeared. I think this is the Ultra version for the Riders' Shodo-X.

They're nice, though. Loved the basic X.

[Ninjinister]

Wave 2 already and the first one ain't even out yet? DAMN

I was mainly surprised that the line name changed. I remember seeing an article but then when I went back to find it I couldn't find any new Shodo figures. I started to think I just dreampt it up until I found some e-bay preorders referring to them as shodo and then stumbled onto the amiami preorder.

[theArchivist]

I am also selling off some of my SHODO duplicates from ordering the cases. If anyone is interested the one I have available are listed on my facebook page. $12 + shipping for Ultraman and Kamen Rider and $15 + shipping for DBZ. I have some loose ones not listed here as well.

Yeah, this new line name came out of nowhere. I just saw AmiAmi's Rakuten page describing them:

Assorted according to maker's rate from 6 types.

Here comes an upgrade version of previous Ultra hero candy toy series, the brand new "Choudou Ultraman" series!
It doesn't only include weapons of the heroes, but also some structure items which can be displayed as diorama, such as buildings, trees and cars. Yo can enjoy recreating scenes as in the show!

Lineup:
-Ultraman Rosso
-Ultraman Blu
-Ultraman X
-Expansion set 1
-Expansion set 2
-Expansion set 3

Not looking forward to the case breakdown on this one with a complete Auto Vajin taking half the wave by itself and like most cases there's not enough room for 2 complete sets.

[Megavolt]

Faiz is really nice! Sadly the silver parts are not complete, again.

BTW, the Kuuga wave just arrived here. Both Kuugas are nice (despite the skinny forearms lol), but I expected a more vivid red on Mighty Form. Kiva is beatiful, but needs some paint touchs (damn, he is missing some BLACK applications...). And mr. Takeshi Hongo is amazing! Great sculpture, likeness and paint, it just misses the eyes and an ab crunch.

EDIT: oh, yeah, French Shocker-man is nice too! He will stand out among my mini Shocker arm.
