Super Imaginative Chogokin

Super Imaginative Chogokin (S.I.C.) is a popular toy line created by sculptors Takayuki Takeya and Kenji Ando. It features figures based on characters created by Shotaro Ishinomori and later his production company.

History

The S.I.C product line is made up of 1/10th-scale action figures (typical height is 7"/18cm). The line debuted in December 1998 with its first figure, Volume 01: Kikaider. Popularity grew for S.I.C due to its reimagination of the original comic book character.S.I.C. pays homage to the late Ishinomori Shotaro. The designs of S.I.C. reinterprets the original artwork by Ishinomori. The first ten volumes were only statuettes that were mounted on a stand but Volume 11: Side Machine and Kikaider marked a milestone for S.I.C. The figure was given very articulate joints because this set included a figure and a bike.

Spin Offs

Due to its overwhelming popularity, many spin off lines were created. The first of which is S.I.C Takumi-Damashii which essentially are small figurines based on their S.I.C counterpart. 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 on March 2007, It Is similar to the S.I.C. Takumi-Damashii but their poses were based on a card line by Cardas itself & it was dedidated to the long-running Super Sentai. The Movie Realization line debut in 2004. Similar to S.I.C it features characters such as Devilman, Kamen Rider, Evangelion, Spiderman, and Batman.

S.I.C Takumi Damashii

S.I.C Takumi Damashii (TD) are similar to its parent model S.I.C, they both take works created by Ishinomori Shotaro but TDs are different because they are a lot smaller and are statuettes which are scuplted in a pose already. Just like S.I.C, after the bike set TDs allowed the figures to have different poses. Moreover, S.I.C. Takumi Damashii featured as a set, which contains various character, such as Kamen Rider, Kikaider, and many other featured characters.
