Welcome to the wonderful world of Kamen Rider toys

The Figuarts are higher end price wise but are accurate to the character design and super articulate but quite awesome. Huge selection of characters to choose from.

The SIC figures are highly detailed , but artistic changes are made to the original design making them more scary and bug like for lack of a better definition. The price point seems to run a bit cheaper then S.H.Figuarts but they seem to be behind on the characters they are making. Having now just gotten to Kamen Rider OOO's.

The vinyls are simple , incredibly inexpensive toys with only about 3 points of articulation. If you just want something to display and not pose , then this is the way to go.

Hope i helped
