Man, Alpha Edge looks really good back there... How's his red? It looked like a darker and deeper red in product shots, but I've seen pics where it seemed lighter.

SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU MASKED RIDER DEN-O SWORD FORM: I talked about my initial impressions of him in a different thread (not crazy about him), but after a couple more days I'm a little more into it. Took some time to try out the Gun Form form-change, and it's remarkable simply and effective. Nothing I'm going to mess around with regularly, but it allowed for both forms to look good. I still don't love the slightly compromised articulation (there're some Sword Form poses this thing can't quite nail), but I still think the sculpting and paintwork bring a great suit to life. I'm appreciating this figure more every day. Man, I'd pick it up already but dude doesn't take paypal and we're not exactly allowed to go out right now. |

$58 would be a more than generous offer for Den-O, right? I've been staring at this one seller selling his lot of SHF Riders and had not one, not two, but three SS Den-O's for sale on that price.
Man, I'd pick it up already but dude doesn't take paypal and we're not exactly allowed to go out right now. It's a figure that goes for about $65 opened (or $70 sealed) on Mandarake, so $58 is a not-too-amazing discount. If this one seller won't deal with PayPal, you'll have plenty of options down the line to grab it for around the same price. He's not hard to track down for less than retail.

Got another Mandarake package today. I definitely need to wait a little while before another another one of those, gets expensive. Got another SIC, New Den-O this time, as well as SHF Takeshi Hongo for the Kamen Rider 50th anniversary. Also threw in Transformers Cloud Roadbuster, because I can't resist Unicron Trilogy references. Only unboxed the Rider figures tonight, saving Roadbuster for tomorrow. New Den-O, despite somewhat limited articulation, was pretty easy to get in a good pose, while Hongo resisted my attempts to get him into his Henshin pose, so he's just standing there so far.

Okay, okay, this must be a sign, because I was browsing a vendor's site, and they have SIC Faiz available, and I love Faiz, but I don't know anything about SIC figures and if they're any good.
And then you just got a new SIC figure. And you posted about it. Like, minutes after I thought I'd never know anything about SIC figures. This is a sign. Talk to me about SIC figures! Aesthetics aside ('cause those are pretty obvious), how do you find the quality? Are they prone to breakage? Are they sturdy when posed? Do the accessories stay attached? Any big problems that I should be aware of? Tell me what you know!

Older SIC figures I find tend to be a little more brittle now. But I recall reading somewhere VOL.40 (starting with Den-O I think) and beyond have that problem fixed.
All I know tho. Saw a Putotyra for $60 back then (it's still on sale tho haha) and was tempted but that was before SS OOO was announced and I had troubles thinking of having a larger-than-normal OOO on the shelf. |

EDIT: This is the old and fragile Faiz, which I wouldn't recommend you buy This is the much less breakable new Faiz, who I say go for on a discount. Also Mandarake has a cheap 2020 Kuuga in stock right now, which was my intro to the line. Oh, and there's also the SIC Kiwami Tamashii line of 4 inch figures, but I don't know anything about those. Someone else will have to chime in there

He also doesn't like standing. Fell over twice while I was getting things set up for this picture.

You did great! Thanks! I think I'm gonna roll the dice on this SIC Faiz figure. He's so gloriously over-the-top (the Faiz Pointer is a crate!) that I'd like to experience him in-hand.

Have you tried submerging the figure in warm water? Always a good idea to try to loosen the joints before posing straight out of the box
