I've never really been a fan of Decade's SIC design, the chest area is way too bulky and it makes the head look sunken in. Not a fitting look for a Japanese pretty boy.

That's a sentence I thought impossible coming out of a toy collector's mouth.

I am getting tempted to just order a bunch of these guys...while small they all seem to have some sweet details and articulation

What I did was add one cheap one to my last order from HLJ just to see what I thought. They're worth it and won't drive you broke like Figuarts (Unless you want the DenLiner Playset).

Plus they're mostly still really easy to get and they rarely sell out like Figuarts do.

Blade Raider's approach isn't bad. Just don't make Blade your test figure. :lol

OOOOO, Spiffy!
