Just got this guy in. As my first SIC, and being the newest figure in the line, I don't get a good impression. This thing looks nice but design wise I'm not a huge fan. The arms fly off just from looking at them wrong, there's nearly zero poseability in the legs as the hips can't move out at all, and the toe-bend joints are far too weak. If this nice new figure is indicative of older figures from the line then it's safe to say this line really isn't for me. I'm glad I never jumped on the Den-O sets now. I admit the sculpt is nice as well as the accessory count but the rest just doesn't work for me

Huh, that's kinda disappointing. I don't know anything about the character, but I thought the figure looks pretty good.
What you describe is not at all representative of my experience with the Double or Den-O SIC figures though. I don't find the articulation to be particularly limited in any way (well, Deneb and Ryutaros might have some issues with their skirts), on one of the Double figures one of the arms may pop out kinda easy, but not usually with something as simple as moving it to a new pose. I think the Den-O ones might be a little more solid than the first two Double sets. I think you should pic up a Den-O set and check it out for yourself before you disregard the line entirely. Mandarake has the Ax Form/Rod form set for 2500 yen, and I'd say that's a fantastic price. I think I paid 3500 and I'm not in anyway disappointed. They also have Climax Form/Urataros for 3000 Yen, and Sword Form/Momotaros right now, too, but it's a bit more expensive than Ax/Rod, so if you're not sold on the line I'd grab a cheaper set first. |

It just need some finagling to get them looking right. There seems to be a lot of material above the hip sockets and there's a ton of stuff on the belt that gets in the way Maybe you just got some bad qc with the arms. Does your scarf stay on? Its the biggest problem with mine, it always seems to want to fall out, really wish it were on a hinge like Super 1's was. If you turn his hips just a touch it lets them go a lot farther. There's not a ton of poses I can think of that need his hips to much farther than this: Last edited by Prometheus; 05-09-2012 at 04:14 PM.. |

I got mine the other day, I wish it had more articulation but it seems that the emphasis for SIC now is to incorporate full articulation but place preference on sculpt. The amount of weapons is awesome. The right arm fell off a few times but it does stay on most of the time. Wish some of the joints were hindered by the sculpt. The sculpt is amazing. Overall I just wish it was more poseable. It's not a brick by any means, but if there was a SH Figuarts ZX it would smoke this one in articulation. However, an SH Figuarts version would likely be based on the onscreen incarnation rather than this more bad ass ninja demigod interpretation.
