These were made by Bandai and sold in multiple countries, so I was indecisive about where to make this thread, but I chose the American section since I used to see these at Barnes and Noble all the time. I need an expert in these to help me improve this checklist... I never collected these, so I have limited knowledge about them. I know they are pretty small at around 7 to 10 cm tall each (under 4 inches). The word Shokugan has something to do with the series, but I don't know what. At some point they renamed the series Shodo Neo and restarted the series. The very first set was released around April 2013 I think: Namek Saga SS Goku, SS Vegeta from Cell Saga, SSG Goku from Battle of Gods There was a variation of these in a 3 pack called Shodo Ultimate Spark. Most of these pictures below are by Leung Steve on Facebook and some from ebay sellers. This group photo has almost every figure released in in Shodo and Shodo Neo and is only missing 4 I think. Set 1: Bardock, SS Goku, LSS Broly Set 2: SSB Vegeta, SSB Goku, Golden Frieza from Resurrection F Set 3: SS Vegito, SS Gotenks with ghost, Super Buu Set 4: Saiyan Saga Vegeta, Saiyan Saga Goku, Nappa Set 5: SSB Vegito, SS Bardock, LSS Broly with open mouth Set 6: Vegito, Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultimate Gohan

Love how these figures are more detailed than the Super Evolve series

Yoru the Shipgirl I could be wrong, but when they were in stores, I believe they were $15 each, so it would make sense that they would need to be fully detailed (painted) and overall better than the $10 Evolve figures that are much larger. Shodo are pretty small, so they had to be really good to be worth that high price for the time period. I think they were sold around 2014-2018 (maybe a little longer). But $15 in 2014 is like $20 in today's dollars, and that's a pretty high price for something 3.75 inches tall in my opinion--which is part of why I didn't collect them. Here's how a Shodo UI Goku compares with Evolve SS Broly in size.

The sad thing is that Shodo Neo Goku scales perfectly with Evolve Broly, meaning if they had done Gogeta then Broly would have had a perfect opposite to display with.

By the way, I saw this video about making custom Shodo figures
