Toy Review: SIC Kiwami Tamashii Blade Jack Form


SIC Kiwami Tamashii Blade Jack Form is just a repaint of SIC blade but this has wings to boast of...well not really.

The only changes between Blade and Jack Form is the golden paint apps to replace the silver. from the original. The chest design, the absorber and the are newly painted to accommodate the design. The wings are translucent red which you can remove via the hole at the back. Great thing about the wings is that they are independent from each other so you can spread those according to your liking even tilting the whole thing to make it seem like Blade is actually flying. 

Problem with most of the SIC Kiwami Blade series/line up is that the shoulder pads hinder most of the articulation on the arms. These can only hold up in a 90 degree angle and that is it. It may have loose shoulder pads but these doesn't help to the intended movement for the figure.

Next are the rest of the articulation on the rest of the body. For example, his hands only has a 360 degree rotation but there are no extra hinges and ball joints for those to move sideways. I'm having some difficulty when moving the hands in a way to hold the fan-out blade rouzer. In addition, the most difficult part is letting the hands hold the blade, it doesn't snug in nicely. The only way you can play with it is when you hold it upside down. Who holds a big sword upside down anyway? This ain't Shinken Gold.
Accessories include a blade rouzer and its base can be replaced with a fan out card deck. Lastly, it comes with two extra hands to hold the blades. Just like the rest of the SIC Kiwami Blade line up...though the design and details are up to tee with its regular SIC line, the articulation is held up to a dismay. I don't recommend the whole SIC Kiwami Blade series as they don't hold up to the expectations of both SIC and Kamen Rider fans. Buy it unless you can get it in half the price, or the best deal you can find in the market.

I'm starting to doubt if SIC Kiwami will redeem itself with Agito coming this May 2011.
