Regarding the price thing, yeah they are expensive (and Tamashii exclusives make it even worse if you can't middleman it for a decent price), but I look at it as getting, in a sense, two figures in one package considering so many come with multiple accessories to switch back and forth between appearances. What usually takes two figures or a figure and an upgrade set in the Figuarts line can be banged out in one release in SIC. That and the larger size help balance out the price for me, though I understand that they're not for everyone even then. They are damned impressive though, so if you ever have a favorite Rider that really stands out to you, it may be worth it to invest in that SIC release as a one-time splurge rather than jumping into the entire line.

Kabuto looks awesome, and he's a great SIC set since he has both his regular and hyper modes.

Yeah I'm in this line for the aesthetic rather than some die-cast fix, but when it is integrated into the occasional figure like the two I picked up, it is pretty cool. And yes, Kabuto is fricken awesome. I think I'll keep him displayed in Hyper Mode for now. He'll go well with Tajador when I get that in-hand around the end of the month.
