Thought I'd start a thread on something that has a fairly daunting number of collecting options.
What is Kamen Rider? Badass men whose belts transform them into superhumans that kick your ass. What kind of toylines are out there? Aside from the "mainline", which is mostly vinyl figurines and roleplay toys, the -current- action figure side of things includes...
I know there are more Kamen Rider fans out there, so here's a thread.

SIC figures rock. My favorite are the Ryuki series figures, especially Kamen Rider Knight. I haven't collected any new SIC figures past the Faiz series and The First figures. I'd like to get around to getting some of the Blade figures as they had really nice designs. Definitely looking forward to the Kabuto and Kiva figures being shown off sometime in the future.

Yeah, newer SICs are apparently tres nice. I'm eyeing the Agito+Machine Tornader box.
Here's all the Motion Revive toys to date, in order of release! Remember, these are GI Joe scale and way more posable. Most all of them come with accessories and sometimes multiple hands. And yes, Kiva has a folded-up shinplate as well. The only downside is all the accessories are generally unpainted, which will be rectified in the next wave.

Thanks to Vangelus, damn him, I have been tempted for a while to pick up some SH Figuarts. I haven't, yet, which may or may not be a good thing.
I used to have the SH Den-O Sword Form. It was a neat figure, but I thought the armor didn't attach well enough to my satisfaction, and the joints weren't perfect. At least it didn't suffer from puny-human-head syndrome (older Souchaku Henshin figures have removable helmets with pinheads inside that are supposed to represent the character). Figuarts seems to fix all the issues I had with SH that kept me from 100% loving the line, but I always held it in high regard. I've never bought a single SIC before. I didn really want the Sword Form/Momotaros set, mostly due to Momo, but never got around to it. I like playing with my toys to some degree, and all the horror stores worried me just enough to reconsider the hefty price tag they carry. |

If it helps any, I've heard that the Den-O SICs are way more posable and durable than previous ones. I'm tempted by them now that all four suits are out (Limited Edition Rod Form and Axe Form 2-pack just came out >.<).

I've seen the Climax Form and Negataros/Nega Den-O images already. But a SIC Yuki? Damn, that is a cool one.... but isn't it awfully early to already have fully painted images?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Custom SICs like that are fairly common- I got to see some in person at Heero Gangu. Huge triple-digit pricetags but daaamn if they weren't immaculate.

On the topic of SICs, the Limited Edition Den-O Axe Form + Rod Form is out, and already sold out on HLJ. :O 1999 has it though, if anyone's still looking:
S.I.C. Limited Masked Rider Den-O Rod Form & Masked Rider Den-O Axe From (Completed) Bandai S.I.C. Kamen Rider Den-O

Stupid SIC customizers and their professional-looking figures!
I guess I should add, it wasn't only sticker shock or crappy older SIC stories that prevented me from getting the Sword Form and Momotaros set. There was also the issue of what the heck to do with them. At the 6" and 4" scales, sure, there's plenty I can do with them. My dream match of Momotaros vs. Destoroyah could become reality! But I don't have much at that size, unless I bought more SICs, and that's just asking for trouble. With Momo coming out in SH Figuarts, I think that's the way I'll go. |

Wow, that looks amazing. Very cool how you can store the helmet in the bike.

Okay, just got SIC Rod Form and Axe Form in the mail.
Speaking as someone who bought all but one of the SIC Garo toys, several of the SIC Ryuki toys, and the Akumaizer 3 box... Bandai has fixed all my problems with SIC. I am really quite blown away. These don't feel like they're going to crumble to pieces in my hands. The knees ARE A DOUBLE-HINGE JOINT. All the pop-apart balljoints are gone. These finally feel like TOYS, not posable statuettes. I for one am happy. Apparently all the Den-O SICs + the new Agito one that comes with his bike are like this. DYNAMIC CHOP

I've picked up all the Motion Revive sets so far (and the Monster Hunter set), and am quite pleased with them despite knowing sweet fark-all about Kamen Rider. I'm stopping with this 5th set to save money for school, and it really sucks because once these are gone they are *gone*.
I'd kill if Bandai did this for the Guyver property. Now *that's* a line that needs some super-poseable 18th love! |

I dunno, I think about half the cast from Heroes deserves a Dynamic Chop to the forehead before Linderman, but then that means you would have to collect Heroes figures. Eww.
Very awesome to get reliable confirmation that these toys are toys this time around. Many moons ago I was tempted by and nearly hunted down the Garo Equip & Prop figures, so I dodged a bullet there? |

Well I had great luck with Zero, the first Garo, the winged Garo, and Kiba. But they all felt very fragile, and the task of swapping armors to go between armored form and human form is a HELLISH task on any of them.

What about your luck with the rest of the Garo figures? You only said you were missing one. :P
I never did plan on swapping armor if I got any though, so I guess in that regard, the Garo toys would be relatively safe buys. Or I could try tracking down the GE Chogokin Garo... hah! |

White Knight guy was my absolute worst. One of his hip-balls disintegrated at the peg when I tried to swap his legs. >.<

Just got Motion Revive Series 6 in the mail!
Really excellent quality all-round, though most of the vaunted painted weapons have all of 1-2 apps. XD Also, the secret chase figure is -painful-. It's an awesome idea, since the broken-mask scene was really epic and memorable for Kamen Rider Garren. But you don't get an unbroken mask, so it's kind of obvious what one of the Series 7 line-up is going to be.
