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.

Spin-offs

Due to its popularity, many spin-off lines were created. The first was S.I.C. Takumi-Damashii, small figurines based on their S.I.C. counterparts. A similar S.I.C. line based on the tokusatsu show GARO was created in 2006, called Equip and Prop. Another line is called Rangers Strike Solid, It was released in March 2007, It Is similar to the S.I.C. Takumi-Damashii but the figures' poses were based on a card line by Cardass and the line was dedicated to the long-running Super Sentai. The Movie Realization line debut in 2004, featuring characters such as Devilman, Kamen Rider, Evangelion, Spider-Man, and Batman. In 2009, S.I.C. Kiwami-Tamashii, smaller than the standard version, was released, the first figure being Kamen Rider Hibiki.
