S.I.C Vol. 52 Kamen Rider Kabuto- Preview

Greetings heroes/citizen. Finally! Bandai will make  S.I.C Kamen Rider Kabuto. It will be after Decade, that is vol. 52.  All we got to see now is a sketch of him.  It’s from some Japanese hobby magazine. I got this picture from a local toy forum but you can see the link of the original owner there on the picture. From this sketch, I can see that there will be not much different from the original Kabuto, and it’s also in the Rider/Beetle mode. It looks like he is more robotic looking than organic, perhaps like the Faiz S.I.C series. I hope this will be a single figure packaging with the  armor (of  Masked Form) included. But if it come with Extender that will be very much appreciated lol c’mon Bandai you can do it. No other news about the release or price right now, but I think it will be released on 2010. I will keep posting the update here so watch out for it. Continue to see the picture Read more

Kamen Rider Leangle

Hi there heroes, this is my first official post. Here is one of my collections of Super Imaginative Chogokin (S.I.C) Vol. 37 Kamen/Masked Rider Leangle. This is a double pack S.I.C , it came with another figure Kamen Rider Blade Jack Form ( no pics here). I got this one for RM220 locally, that is about USD60 or more. This action figure is from Bandai and was inspired by the TV Asahi tv series The Masked Rider Blade aired in the year 2004-2005. Here is the information for the tv series. This figure was sculpted by Kenzi Andou (pronounced Kenji Ando). It was released early this year, on March 2007.

Enough intro, lets see why I got this as my collection and is it worth to get one. The packaging, same with all other S.I.C line, the figure came tied by ‘one of my enemies’ the twisties. The box have two tray in it one for the figures and one for the accessories.It came with manual (heck ,who needs it?) .

The figure , for me is quite loose on it’s articulations (maybe I’m unlucky) and his big shoulder armor gave this one piece of an art a limited poses , the sculpts are great (thanks god!) especially the head and body armor.It got a different armor from Blade, Challice and Garren(they are the characters in blade series, for you who don’t know) and I think personaly this is the best figure in S.I.C Blade series. It cames with his signature weapons the staff and extra changeable fist. The colors for this series are quite clean compared to my other series of S.I.C, but personaly I like it better if it got more dry brushing effects on it (so it looks more battle damaged).

I would not recomend this figure to you if you are looking for a figure that are more similiarly like the previous S.I.C, cause it looks totaly different from them in terms of articulations and sculpts. But buy it if you are completeteist of S.I.C. Of course its only my personal oppinions, its your money to spend
