Kiva emperor form SIC is here! My first SIC and through playing with it i found the feet, knee guards and collar shoulder armor to be metal. ^^ Detail is beautiful. Articulation is a little hindered, but not too bad. I'm not liking that the grip on the sword kinda sucks. Overall, impressed with this figure. Pics are coming? Anyone know how i can put multiple pictures in one post?

Man oh man I wish I got into this SICness earlier. I'm really digging Vol 35's Blade. Sadly it looks long sold out and horrendously overpriced. .

Well I'm happy to announce I was able to get a hold of a Kiva emperor for a not to crazy, but still crazy price. I'll post pictures when it comes. This will be first SIC. I'm very excited ^^.

I would spring for dark emperor Kiva if the head was the same as the normal one, but I'm not diggin the Dark's head sculpt. I'll check my local hut for Japanese toys first (Frank and Sons here in So Cal.) and see if any of the sellers still have this guy. If not I'm off to ask Tokyohunter. How is his service btw? I never used him or a middleman service ever before.

Hey mechamasterj how much did Tokyohunter charge for the SIC Kiva emperor form since I'm thinking about giving him a shot.

I'm thinking about getting it too, but I'm wondering if it will sell well since there's SO MUCH gundam unicorn products out now and more coming I'm wondering if the GFFMC will sell well. Hence, I might wait for a sale. However, they're flying out of the store shelves I'll be sure to pick one up and review it.

I don't really have a thing for Kamen riders or the SIC line in general, but that Emperor Kiva form is seriously making me reconsider.

Haha. True can't do super acrobatic poses, but for me what he can do is just fine. Should bandai given this a guy stand sure would be a nice extra. I still think its a fun toy and probably the best representation of tekkaman will get for some time.

Gigantic Dark makes the first move, while Tekkaman takes the defensive.

Damn that sucks about the loose shoulder armor. Are you sure the two pegs are clamping into the sockets on the shoulder? Thankfully I haven't had any problems with looseness and I can give him some awesome poses, but yes getting on those hands..........is a real test of my patience. I'm considering just super gluing the forearm armor on (glue all armor on ) to make this process a little less nerve racking. In terms of possibility I thought he was a little unbalanced at first, but once you get the ankles and feet in the right positions he can pull off some pretty sexy poses.

I say go for the quarter. The Yamato 19 is rather floppy in battloid mode and gerwalk. Although fighter mode is nice and tight. I think the quarter is almost perfect except for the sagging shoulders in carrier mode. But we all know the quarter's best mode is attack mode and its surprisingly well balanced in most poses even with the huge cannon and flight deck. That and ami ami still has some quarter left and 50% ems shipping so take advantage of the savings. ^_^

The action tobikage is going to be 25cm tall ? Wow I hope this is true (I doubt it), but this does make this set more interesting.

Oh happy day? Now I know that says composite, but will it actually have metal? Oh say it so! I wonder what Katoki is gonna do to the designs besides put mechanical writing all over it.

I'm not a big fan of Evas, but I like the bulkier proportions and all the mechanical warning signs. The weapons look pretty hot too. I thought this thing came with swords? Oh well, this will probably be the 1st EVA figure I buy.
