Honestly I'd be satisfied with all of them ever and the villains coming to SHODO. But if I had to choose a SODO Chronicle? ZO and RX Black, my first two Riders I was introduced to.

Okay make that a what's your SHODO preference then. xD

Sodo is sticking to Heisei, so ZO is a maybe, but Black RX might be harder, though is possible since it was the rider that ended the previous era. Shodo has already done both though, so I assume you already have those.

Am curious now what a Chronicle ZO would look like though. That could be really interesting.

It's a candy toy figure. Forget which direct line though during W, but I do have the box somewhere(I keep imported material, even if it's a tear open for directions box like Minipla), and likely the sweet tart still too. xD It was a model kit one with stickers. No way in hell it could ever be confused for a Figuarts. And to even suggest as such is insulting tbh. Someone that can confuse a candy toy for a figuarts should not even be collecting. xD

When I get a picture area set up again, I'll take a few quick snaps of it. I keep it on my Minipla shelf though instead of MRS/Shodo because of how much taller it is than the others. It's a shade shorter than the Gekiranger candy toy ranger model kit figures, but noticeably bigger than MRS/Shodo and other candy toy figures of Riders I keep in that display. I'd originally bought it thinking it'd be the same size as the Decade ones I was using to fluff out my then MRS shelf, but it was too big which was disappointing. But for as cheap as it was, not much to complain about. Was cheap back then even for Ebay import scalpers.

Back during W, they had two types. One was a generic candy toy that had an integrated show gimmick iirc. These were under 1:18th scale. Not even 3.5" tbh, they were closer to 3" maybe 3.25". Then for Fang Joker though, they had a candy kit style full figure that was closer to 5" almost 5.5". Full articulated. Came in the same candy toy wave as the Fang Memory kit. Since that character had no combo with other memory sticks, it didn't use the old style combo gimmick or size and was a full figure you built and added stickers to like a minipla.

I'd forgotten that Sodo were built to spec closer to Decade's candy toy size. Been hesitant to re-check the sizes since Fang Joker. And then other "mis-information" issues from other areas didn't help much either. But Sodo and Shodo are supposed to work relatively complimentary, with some mild creative license on Chronicle. Though I'd still wait for a size chart comparison before diving in on Chronicle after W's Fang Joker kit from before. I'd been hesitant to check if Sodo actually went to original spec or not.

Still slightly miffed at the mis-information areas, because I would have been bolstering my Shodo/MRS figures with new riders sooner then. Before Shodo, the last I had were Decade Complete and Diend in that scale. So I'm missing nearly all of post-Decade riders. Thankfully Shodo is filling those in along with Faiz. But still need Chalice, a non-battle damaged Garren, and Leangle. The rest of the Faiz characters would be nice too. Hopefully they do the movie riders from Faiz, because Psyga with his gear would be sweet to have.
