TOY NEWS FOR 4/23/2013 - BANDAI - S.I.C. - KAMEN RIDER OOO - SHAUTA COMBO

UPDATE 4/24/2013 - OFFICIAL PICS!!!

 Sad news... This amazingly awesome figure (that I totally need for my SIC collection!!!) is a damned Tamashii Web exclusive!! That doesn't make it impossible to get as US distributor Bluefin usually acquires some for the US market, but it does mean paying a good chunk above retail for this figure-- which is Y7,875 (approx $80.00). Expect to pay about $120 for it here, though. He's set to be released in September.

Two words come to mind when I see these pictures: Bad. Ass.

I think that SIC's Kamen Rider OOO's figures have been their best figures to date. OOO and SIC are a match made in heaven. He just fits perfectly into their artistic design and interpretations.

I really love what they've done with the ShaUTa Combo here. Creepy, realistic, very organic... The joints do look a little garish in the tentacles, but still an amazing work of artistry on the part of SIC.

No hi-res official pics yet, so in the meantime, enjoy this magazine scan.
