Super Imaginative Chogokin
Super Imaginative Chogokin (aka S.I.C.) is one of Bandai's popular line-up of die-cast metallic figurines (''chogokin'') based on the Kamen Rider franchise and other characters created by Shotaro Ishinomori and his production company. The figures are usually modified and differ from its counterpart as seen in the series. It is intended for those riders to closely resemble the ones portrayed in the manga and to have a much darker theme. S.I.C. figures are mostly sculpted by Takayuki Takeya and Kenji Ando. History The S.I.C. product line is made up of 1:10-scale action figures typically around tall. The line debuted in December 1998 with Kikaider. Popularity grew for S.I.C. due to its reimagination of the original comic book characters: S.I.C. reinterprets the late Shotaro Ishinomori's original artwork. The first ten figures were statuettes mounted on stands but for ''Volume 11: Side Machine and Kikaider'' the figure was given articulate joints because this set included a bike. S ...

is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. The fourth installment to be produced as part of the Kamen Rider Series, the series aired in Japan from late 1974 to early 1975 on the NET and Mainichi Broadcasting System. It was the shortest ''Kamen Rider'' series ever, lasting only 24 episodes.

Its timeslot on NET was taken over by Himitsu Sentai Gorenger a week after its finale aired.
