I managed to stumble upon the Tamashii Nations booth which held several museum-like cases of these wonderful SIC dioramas. If you check out Matt Alt's coverage of Tamashii Nation 2008 in Akiba Square UDX, he notes that it's interesting to see Bandai position "their Saint Seiya, S.I.C., and Chogokin collector lines as "lifestyle goods" rather than toys. In addition to three showrooms housing new products, the main floor featured a series of faux rooms designed to show toy-freaks how they can best display their treasures." Hey, works for me. Had I known it was cool to disply my toys this way, I would have done it a long time ago. Were way ahead of you Bandai!
