S.I.C. Takumi Damashii SP Collection Review and Gallery!!!

It's been a long time coming to get these pics up. My apologies and it's not because I don't like this set. I have several of the outstanding SIC Takumi Damashii sets from Bandai and I can safely say that this series is my current favorite line of toys (not including all the madness that is Japanese vinyl). I would have zero problem purchasing the next set sight un-seen. That's how good this series is.





This set in particular is designated with an "SP" for Special because there are no duplicates in the case. Only nine figures but probably the best set in the series so far IMO. This set contains variants of one of my all-time favorite mini-figure which is Hakaider on the motorcycle. The set contains 3 Hakaiders in three different colorways each with matching motorcycles and unique weapons. It also comes with a variant of my other all-time favorite figure Kikaider but in a metallic blue armor and gold cycle with side-car.





It's been said before but worth repeating: some of the best sculpting, details and paint job on any toys out there. Stunning...just amazing stuff for a trading toy. Not a lot of articulation but you do have options for posing on the cycles as well as standing up so you mix and match for some cool looking dioramas!! Be forewarned, although you cannot go wrong with this amazing series, if you buy even just one figure, just like eating one potato chip, you will be compelled to buy more! Luckily, they are relatively easy to find on eBay and Yahoo Japan Auctions.

Shocker World Wide Bling Bling Bagman!!

Now we have Shocker World Wide x Secret Base x Balzac following up the Purple Balzac Bagman with Bling, Bling versions in Gold and Silver!!! Looking good and can hardly wait to add them to the collection!! With the way the purple version went, these look to go just as ultra quick so be fast with your fingers and try out SWW new "Secret Word" system!!! Good luck!!!

I will have to say that the Purple Balzac Bagman recently acquired in the wee hours of the morning from Shocker World Wide is one of my all-time favorite toys. I have always cherished my first rainy day Balzac Bagman, but this clear purple one with the purple plushie inside is one that even the artist formerly known as Prince would love!! They only had 30 and they went in a matter of minutes!
