I'm getting back in the SIC stuff after many years of not collecting them. IMO, if you're on the fence about it then I'd advise against it because the older ones are very, very had to find and they are EXPENSIVE. I'm trying to start off by getting all the Heisei Riders right now (one form each to start) and it's costing me about close to $100 bucks a pop, so it's a majorly expensive endeavor.

For me, the appeal of the SIC figures IS their size as well as the interpretations and sculpts done by Takayuki Takeya and Kenji Ando. While I do enjoy Masked Rider (although I'm more of a Showa Era guy), the gritty techno-organic vibe and hyper-detailed sculpting is what make me love this line.

If you're already into the Figuarts figures, I'd stick with that. If you want a little taste of SIC in your collection, the smaller Takumi Damashii is still amazingly sculpted and detailed and is way,way more affordable.
