ok, those are sexy...but are they the kind of SICs that fall apart at the drop of a hat?

I could be mistaken, but I think anything that's predates Den-O are more statue like and falls apart.

Yup, starting with Den-O in the 40s (2008?), SICs became much more stable. Ixa/Dark Kiva is Vol. 54, so it should be safe. The OOO and Kabuto Riders, all post-Den-O, handle great, no issues that I'm aware of.

I have some of the older figures (mostly Ryuki Riders) and though they're not quite GPS-bad in terms of fragility, the ones I own have been vulnerable in the elbow or other joint areas (three have broken elbows despite little-to-no pressure placed on the joint when handling it, one hand had its ball joint break off while attempting to swap it out for another hand).

Oh, nice!
I need to unpack my Kiva and DenO SICs so I can enjoy them a bit, before I decide to sell them, due to lack of space and money.

Nice haul! Very jealous of your Wolf, need that and Bat to finish of my Gekiranger collection, but I don't anticipate that happening any time soon unfortunately seeing as those two seem to be so rare :(

Well, if you're interested shoot me a PM.

Make note that these are the Miniplas/candy toys, not DXs :lol

Anyway, while I am interested, I might need to hold off on buying anything else right now :lol

Ive got the Bat from Gekiranger, im willing to sell it since im culling my mecha collection for cash reasons and im in the UK, if you want it send me a PM

Haha, I know! I'm a minipla collector, not a DX collector :lol

Well, as long as I don't sell it in the meantime, the offer still stands.

Got my Shapeways order for the TFC Toys Hercules upgrade kit by echoformer. And it is awesome. I also picked up three of the four paints needed to mix the appropriate green color, if I can get up to Hobby Lobby this week i can get the last one and start painting the new bits.

This isn't for me, but a friend of a friend helped hook a buddy of mine up with the Metalic Tokyo Pop Vinyl NYCC exclusive:
