Ryuki with dragreder....i looooooooove dragons...and seeing the toy has made me find the series to actually watch...i've been perusing video review and such to see what's all out which leads me to my main question....

I'm looking for all the contract monsters and based on a post from november of 2012 there were supposed to be some released...i know we're getting Scissors this month, but can't find info on release for his contract monster Volcancer....also saw pix of imperer with gigazelle, alt zero with psycorogue, femme and blanwing, biogreeza and destwilder....yet i cannot find these anywhere to order or buy ....is it that they never were released, after almost a full year? delays? cancellations? or are they out and just SUPER DUPER rare that I can't find them anywhere online?

next question is where is the best place to be able to buy them or preorder them, expecially the exclusives...Can't order directly from Tamashiiwebshop because i don't live in China...Bluefin is for retailers/resellers only....mandarake seems to have no real stock of anything...so all these people that don't live in china or have stores that get these exclusives right when they're out...how the heck are they doin that? where are they buying/preordering them?

last question for now....I have also noticed some beautiful looking SIC kamen rider OOO figs upcoming....also can't order them, but i hear things like they are not poseable...yet on the review i see, they seem pretty poseable, similar to SHF tho to a lesser degree....can anyone shed light on the main diff between SIC and SHF figures? are they just as articulated, etc...?

It's a minor nitpick, but Japan, not China. I don't think all of the contract monsters are out/planned for release. At least not SHF versions. I'm pretty sure there are alternatives though.

Not sure how the US based shops get exclusives. They probably have some connection or buy through a middleman service like everyone else.

All of the SIC OOO figures are fully posable. At least the OOO Combo ones. Uva won't have much articulation though. I've got all the ones released so far, TaToBa, TaJaDol, GataKiriBa, PuToTyra, and I have ShaUTa pre-ordered. Still waiting on release information for LaToraTah and SaGoZo.

SHF are 4-5 inch scale. SIC are 8 inch scale. The older SICs are apparently prone to breakage. In general they seem to be a bit more fragile than SHF, but they are just as articulated. And a lot of SICs have some gimmick to incorporate different forms. Like the W ones are able to swap halves and the OOO ones can swap head/arms/legs to make random combos.
