SIC OR SHF

Often i been ask this question "should i buy S.I.C or S.H.F" and i found it very interesting to bring this out as a discussion. This question are very subjective and if you ask 10 person they will give you maybe 5 or 6 different  answer . The reason is very tough to choose between SIC and SHF both have their Pro and Con and it depend on what is your desire

S.I.C ( Super Imaginative Chogokin) Pro (Advantage)

1. 
   
   Sculpt of the Kamen Rider are different from TV series look cooler and badass
2. 
   
   Very Details
3. 
   
   Some of the part either on the Kamen rider itself or accessory consist of die-cast
4. 
   
   No reissue this what make SIC have the value to collect (have resell value or secondhand value)
   
   
   

   S.I.C ( Super Imaginative Chogokin) Con (disadvantage)

   
   

   1.Paint job very sloppy and uneven

   
   

   2.Expensive because of no reissue seller can jake up the price

   
   

   3.less articulation point (have limited of pose and movement)

   
   

   4.Joint problem (this apply to old series of SIC. SIC Den o and above series have better joint quality)

   
   

   5.Kamen Rider Series not complete release (Mean the othres rider not release For Example Ryuki still miss alots of Kamen rider, Agito not complete gill is missing, Decade missing deind and so on)

   
   
   
   

SH Figuarts (Simple and Heroic Figure + Arts) Pro (Advantage)

1. 
   
   More articulation point (can do any pose and more movement)
2. 
   
   Cheap compare with SIC
3. 
   
   Reissue change are high
4. 
   
   Good paint job
5. 
   
   Sculpt of Kamen Rider are similar to the TV series (good to collector that like the TV series design)
6. 
   
   less joint problem compare with SIC
7. 
   
   Complete release in most of the Kamen Rider series ( what i like shf is when shf release a Kamen Rider series it complete releas all the Rider in that TV series for example Decade all the rider release which consist of decade normal form , decade complete form , deind normal form,deind complete form  )

SH Figuarts (Simple and Heroic Figure + Arts) Con (Disadvantage)

1. 
   
   Too many Limited and Exclusive
2. 
   
   Value is not as great as SIC (resell value or second hand value)
3. 
   
   die-cast parts are on the figures' feet

PS: the resell value are base on normal release for both SIC and SHF

My advice is always seek alternative series of Kamen Rider  with this you will not buy expensive SIC or SHF and also have some money save. Myself are Kamen Rider Fans as long as i can get the Kamen rider i want  eithere SIC or SHF is doesn't matter.

SIC Kamen Rider can be up to RM 1k++  for those rare item and if you don't get it , your collection will not be complete , will you buy it ?. Let take 1 Example SIC Faiz series , you need to get all of them and that won't come with cheap price further the joint having alots of probelm , why not seek others alternative Kamen Rider series like SHF or SIC Kimawi (smaller version of SIC) with cheaper price and better joint .

I really hope this article  could help you all have a better understanding between SHF and SIC and could make a better judgement .
