Hi all,
So this is a tough one if you don't come from Japan or aren't intimately familiar with the lines as I have learned. I have found that the figures have many scales even within the same lines much in the way Marvel has Legends and Universe/Infinite. As a result the names sometimes get interchanged and if you paid a good bit for an out of scale figure you will get pissed off quickly (like I did). So here is a starting point to this thread from my own research, buying and screw ups and I am hoping you can help me out by adding your own information to this thread. I love the figures (and they are very highly articulated!!!) and I think many of you will too but if you have an idea of what lines work and don't PLEASE add them so we can all enjoy.

Here is my first foray - SIC Ultimate Soul Kamen Rider and SIC Ultimiate Soul Garo Knight

Here is the list from what I have found.
It is tough because these figures are all over the place in scale.

First rule: Only buy the figures labeled: "SIC Ultimate Soul" and "Kiwami Tamashii". The other lines (such as Kiwami Damashii) are all 6-7 inch range and fit in with the Marvel Legends stuff.

As for the figures available:
1) Here is the SIC Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_...ative_Chogokin

2) What you want is the S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii (Ultimate Soul) section (Smaller & more affordable versions of existing S.I.C. figures) here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_...timate_Soul.29

I have highlighted the Figures themselves to show what is figure vs. vehicle. They are all a little over 4" each so they fit with modern figures and the extra height isn't bad at all as they are closer to MU Colossus or the Iron Man 2 figures in height.

Then you have the exclusives:

29 Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai (Red Version - kind of looks like Daredevil in armor)
30 Momotaros Imagin (Pre-Contract Version) <- Really cool looking figure BTW)

32 DenLiner DX Set <- Three figure set with Playset - Figures are very cool and unique January 2011
33 Kamen Rider Agito Flame Form & Storm Form Effect Set <-Two figure set December 2011
34 Horse Orphnoch (Gallop Mode) <-Half Horse/Half Figure, all Cool - September 2012
35 Kamen Rider Kuuga 3 Form set (Dragon, Pegasus, Titan) <-Three figure set - May 2013
36 Gouram - <-Transforming Bug to Motorcycle - August 2013
37 Kamen Rider Kuuga Rising Mighty & Beat Chaser 2000 Set <-Figure plus Motorcycle

All of these fit in with the scale.
Additionally there are Ultimate Soul Garo Knight figures which are nothing short of spectacular, they include:
1 Garo Ultimate Soul Dark Knight Kiba (Completed)
2 SIC Ultimate Garo Gold Knight
3 Garo Ultimate Soul White Night Knight Dan
4 SIC Ultimate Silver Knight Garo
5 Kiwami Tamashii Golden Knight Winged Garo Exclusive (It has Wings like Archangel but Golden Metallic)
6) SIC Kawamii Tamashii Madou Horse Gouten (a Mech Horse for Garo Knight and comes with a few giant swords for the Knight)

So all of this was research I had to do and I made a few mis-steps in the past because the ones not on list I procured (about 4 of them) are all 7 inch figures which I don't collect and are wasted . I have never seen any of the shows they are referenced on so I couldn't tell you a good guy from a bad guy or any of the backstory. I just love the scale.

You can buy these on Amazon, Ebay and Google Shops among otherplaces. I would look around bc on one I see a figure for $15 and on another the same for $70. So prices are all over the place and you have to research that. Also, Google any of the names above and you can see what the figures look like, Youtube videos, etc.

Lastly I have added a picture of the S.I.C. Ultimate Soul Kamen Rider Decade (Completed) (the Red Bug looking guy) and the SIC Ultimate Souk Horse Orphnoch figure with a few other Marvel/Hasbro figures for scale comparison.

So I had a lot of hit and miss before I was able to make this list. If anyone here knows some other in-scale Japanese figures and can add to it please do.
