These are beautiful, and the pics show them off very well.

Not to sound hyperbolic, but as much as can be had in the realm of toys, there's a tragic element that figures like these that look so sharp are so impractical to buy because of their fragility (well, unless you don't mind breaking parts & gluing stuff back together). When I was initially diving headfirst into SIC, I picked up some older Ryuki & Blade figures because I liked the look of those as much as the later, more stable Den-O/Kiva & Showa Riders, then found out for myself how easily they can break (I still remember Leangle breaking at a joint just by touching it lightly). I'd love for myself and other people to be able to enjoy them and only have price & availability serve as a barrier to that; it's unfortunate that fragility is the biggest hindrance here instead.

I know the SIC line's slowed waaaaaaaaaaay down, even with exclusives, compared to its previous pace, but I'd love it if TN started releasing renewal versions of older releases like these that won't break on people.
