Yeah...they likely won't see the light of day, but golly that Bravo looks insane. So good.

Gosh, why aren't more SICs being mass-released instead of this exclusive nonsense? I'd love to get my hands on some of this stuff, but I sure can't afford the premium. But I guess they've gotten significantly more expensive with all the extraneous add on parts of the last few years. I remember when I bought the Stronger 2 pack for 45 bucks. Good ol' days.

I would pay good money for Zangetsu Jimber Melon. It's still a travesty that never happened in the show.

Okay, so I've been fumbling around with my SIC Gaim, and quite frankly: I'm rather disappointed.
I tried removing the head crest/antenna piece: It broke off. The peg snapped. Then I tried fumbling with the arms, and the thing about the arms is: Every single time you try to move the arms, they bump the shoulder armor, and the shoulder armor pops off. Instantly. Can't stay on for s---. (SIGH)....it looked so good...the SIC Gaim looked so good, it really did, and I had an immense amount of hope for it- I was willing to invest in the entire line, but after this: No. No way. If the helmet crests are this fragile, and the armor constantly pops off: I'm done with the SIC Gaim line- the rest of you guys can have it. I'm just gonna stick to SIC Drive and hopefully that'll go better. (SIGH)...(Shakes head)... |

I think the keyword here is "fumbling." Traditionally, SICs have always been more fragile and require more gentle handling than other lines like SHF. I've been collecting SICs for about 10 years and the Gaim line is actually rather robust in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong; I've broken quite a few myself, but they have definitely improved over the years. The primary function of the SIC Gaim line is to remove the armor from the main body and either A) Place it on the armor display frame, or B) Place it on the main body of another rider- right? That's what you're supposed to do with these, that's what they're designed specifically to do- yes? Well my SIC Gaim didn't even survive 1 single armor removal- I went to remove the helmet crest and POP! Snapped the peg off. Everyone else can give their input, that's fine, I completely respect everything you guys say, your opinion definitely counts here, but personally, right now: I'm pissed off. I've got a broken SIC on DAY 1 of ownership, and I don't know if any of you have ever been there before- but I have. (Points to SIC 555/Faiz) Knee cracked and snapped off- day 1. Had to buy a replacement. (Points to SIC OOO Tatoba) Knee broke and snapped off- day 1. Had to buy a replacement. And to have it happen a 3rd time, on one of the most recent releases.....(SIGH)....f-ing dammit man...you gotta be kidding me. I'm sticking to the SIC Drive line- that's it. |

In defense of the line, though, that's ONE figure. This line isn't known for being unusually fragile (the older figures, yes; newer figures since Den-O are just fine). They're no more or less fragile or poorly QC'd, really, then your average other TN product. If you're pissed, that's fine, but take a step back before making any decisions. If your mind is unchanged and one unfortunate breakage/lemon is enough to put you off, totally your right, but maybe stay away from TN figures in general if that's the case. The SIC line, and Gaim sub-line specifically, is not a problem. |

Not sure if this is the right place or not,(I think someone once mentioned that Makai Kado is an S.I.C. sub-line?) but Hayate has been officially announced.
