Do any of you guys own the SIC Vol-21 KR Amazon and Jungler? Review of the set please?! Awesome. No issues whatsoever. ;D Good sculpt, good detail, no loose joints, bike stands nicely. I think the only flaw it has is that jungler takes up too much shelf space because of the big wings (they are removable too). Thats about it.  So all you need to ask yourself is how much you like the designs. If you think its cool, then get this set with no worries. Just hope you can still find a set cheap. |

Thanks Mpchi. I don't have any problems finding the design to be cool (the nunchakus are awesome!!). It's your second concern that also worries me (finding cheap one)!
So, with the wings attached, is the Jungler really that much bigger compared to the other bikes?!

Not a lot. Take out the wings, then its back to the size of a normal bike. But if you have a very packed shelf, taking out those wings can gain space for at least another SIC character or two. But out of all of the SIC bikes, Kikaider's Side Machine is still the biggest. Its not that long, but its definitely wide. However, the FFVII Advent Children bike (Fenrir) might top these off. As the SIC Hakaider bike is only about 2/3 of its length. It could be my biggest bike out of my 6-7 inch scale figure collection. Should be arriving soon this week, and designed by our mighty Takeya.  |

You lucky b@$t@rd!! I suppose that's the bike that comes with the limited edition DVD!! Congrats on your purchase. Share some pictures and review when you got it, OK!!
Kikaider's side machine is big allright, but I found the sidecar to be ... well, plain. Also, it doesn't attach well to the bike.

You can now get Cloud and Fenrer without buying the special DVD edition. Check around. You should be able to preorder one through most online retailers.

Kikaider's side machine is big allright, but I found the sidecar to be ... well, plain. Also, it doesn't attach well to the bike. You can always use super glue for the side car.  Not to glue it fixed on the attachment. Just apply a layer or two on the peg and let dry before attaching it back, so that the super glue hardens and makes the peg thicker. Now it should fit nice and tight. In fact, this super glue trick is the saviour for the SIC joints as well. Do it on loose ball & socket joints (apply on ball only, not the socket). Works wonders saving them from diving off your shelf. For loose hinges joints, use dental floss. Yeah, you should be able to get the U.S. release of Cloud & Bike at around $50-75. No need to pay the ridiculous $300 import DVD special box set. |

Well, I thought that the peg was too short, but I'll try your advice. That US. Release Cloud Bike deal sounds yummy...

Very very yummy indeed. Got it last night, and both Cloud & Fenrir is very very delicious. Especially Fenrir. Best Takeya bike in my collection with great build quality. Very SIC like too, just cleaner and slicker. Get it now. They have a bunch of cheap ones on ebay.

That's very nice, Lanatir! By the way, does Garo has its own SIC line like the Lord of Byston Well series?! Because I don't remember any recent SIC release on Garo - or is it an official product - just not by BANDAI - but by some other company - like TOEI with their Kamen Rider J?
Please provide more info on this. The sculpt is really nice.

Thanks for the info Lanatir. Who does the sculpt?! Is it Takeya?! What is next on the Garo series?! If there's potential of good long line of figures, I might consider getting it. But if it's only a one shot deal... BTW, how much is the die-cast content compared to regular SICs?!

I know they're planning an entire series of the Equip & Prop line. The first one came with his ring; the second one will have armor with green fire, and will come with a replica of Garo's lighter (no idea if it'll work).

Hmmm... Sounds like Bandai is trying to capitalize on their fans... Will there be any figure of the villains or other supporting characters? If not, then I'll probably go to the direction of Lord of Byston Well line...

the sculptor for Garo is Takayuki Takeya alright.
the 3rd set should be Zero.. the silver Makai knight counterpart to Garo. i think 4 would be Garo's horse or something
