Opening some of the SICs I picked up from my January AmiAmi order:
Den-O Super Climax - Like the Figuart, this exclusive doesn't appear much different from the retail release SIC version aside from the addition of the wings. Still, my favorite Den-O suit and looks good in this line. Super 1 - The take on the gloves is great and I appreciate the scarf having a hinge joint to allow for some extra posability. Shoulders are a bit limited, but I'm enjoying this release more than I anticipated. ZX - SIC has done more to help me like the Showa suits, just like OOO, since I've really enjoyed the exaggerated take on them. That said, ZX feels a bit like it took some minor steps back compared to Super 1 (no hinge joint on his scarf piece, ball joints for his hands instead of the peg/hinge joint bit on every other SIC I own). |

Super 1 is just badass, I love all the gauntlets and how they translated to the S.I.C. format. I've seen awesome stuff with ZX as well

Seeing as she isn't toku related this is the wrong thread. You probably need to ask around for something like this in General Discussion. I honestly don't think there's a specific thread that I could point you to though.

Sooooooo TheBee arrived yesterday.
Packaging's similar to the recent Tamashii exclusives - no window, but still similar to the previous retail Kabuto Rider releases' packaging. He...really doesn't come with much. Bodywise, no QC issues. Die-cast panels on the sides of his legs stay in pretty tightly, unlike the Dark Kabuto I have. Eyes are a very dark clear yellow, which gives a "dead eye" appearance; I think I would've preferred a lighter yellow be used. Three options for his Bee Zecter (lighting isn't great here, the clear yellow on the effect part and the wings on the bee are actually a more darker yellow than they appear here). Wings on the bee can also swivel up and down. With the effect part, the energy bits are wide enough that depending on how you have his arm posed, it can get in the way of a more dramatic pose. It's a nice figure, but it's definitely something that is lacking in the accessory department. The Hopper Bros. were too, but they were a two-pack retail release; this is a solo web exclusive, so it's a bit disappointing. I wish they'd thrown in the parts for Masked Form to give him more bang for your buck. If you love the Kabuto Riders (I love the designs from that series) I suppose it's worth it, I just hope you don't have to spend too much to acquire him. |

FINALLY had time to mess with the Hoppers...wow, word effect pieces I have ever handled...they do have personality, and while I don't regret them...man they are SIMPLE SICs...

Time to bring this thread back from the dead for the brand-new SIC Sagohzo.
(Totally forgot one of the accessories is an extra Gatakiriba head: Even without the extra parts, he's really bulky. His shoulder part is stiff at first, but there IS a hinge joint it attaches to, allowing for him to actually raise his arms up fully and giving him some level of posability at the shoulders. Either way though, he doesn't have the greatest posability in the shoulders or elbows due to the shoulder pads & gauntlets getting in the way of each other. Hip armor is on a hinge and easy to move out of the way when posing the arms & legs. O-scanner and medal thingy actually peg into the hip armor rather than the belt, which is nice since I found they're more out of the way and not as easy to knock off while handling the figure, unlike his other OOO brethren (they also peg in much more securely). It's not easy to attempt a "ground-pounding pose. When posed with his back leaning backwards, he's also quite back-heavy and easy to tip over (what little die-cast he appears to have located in his legs but is inconsequential in terms of balancing). Gauntlets are very easy to pop back on and off. There's a large groove that the wrist cuff slides into when popping the gauntlets on. Without the gauntlets on, he does come with extra "normal" hands but no other accessories to really take advantage of the "unarmored" look. With the gorilla arm and elephant leg parts added on, he's even bulkier than before...and with roughly the same amount of posability, for better or worse. His fingers can move on a hinge but they're molded together, and the thumb isn't jointed so they're only so much you can do with it. Legs do have an ankle joint and a flap for the elephant ears to fold out; not sure if accidental or not, but the elephant snots can move up a smidgen, but it's barely noticeable. Overall, I'm still pleased with it, but it's not quite as dynamic as the other OOO releases (though understandably so, given how bulky he is in both modes). Here's my new OOO lineup (forgive the dust). |

That is awesome. Someday I hope to have both the space and money to pick up all the SIC OOOs figures, they look fantastic.
