That IS cool! Bandai's engineering is usually very very impressive. I love the intricate detail and paint washes used on SIC!

SIC are figures that focus on a certain artist's interpretation... and these can do anything from doing nothing to swapping parts for transformation. It's like a posable McFarlane figure. You're not going to get the same character selection as an SH Figuart, and these guys are more like 7.5" tall.

Hmm, well that answers that, thanks man. I'm a big fan of artistic interpretation.
