Arrival: Figma Signum & SIC Kiwami Mask Rider Faiz

On Wednesday, 3rd Feb 2010, i got my package from Gactvision for Masked rider Faiz range of SIC Kiwami Tamashii.. was hoping they are a lil bit taller.. bu they're kinda small.. as compared to figmas.. but heck... its half the price.. no complaints on dat.. anyways, for a small guy, it sure has a lot of possible poses to try out.. so, i think its worth it.. of course, the finish isn't as clean and fine, but its still reasonable for me.. closeups will show some mis-coloring, lining errors and stuff.. but ok la..

On Thursday, 4th Feb 2010, i collected my signum from Dex, Dcode toy at sek17, PJ.. well, quite satisfied with signum, coz it sure has a lot of accessories.. so, surely its worth it.. to me at least..

Ok, as usual, i plucked some infos from here n there, (most of the time from wiki), so hopefully it explains the characters well enuff.. for the pics, its taken wif my Motorola Krzr K1 hp, tho 2.0MP, but its doesn't hav macro function, mind u.. so, m pic aren't that clear.. heck, u can certainly find good pics over the net.. till i can afford an SLR, bear wif me ok..

Signum (シグナム, Shigunamu?), voiced by Kaori Shimizu (Japanese) and Bailey Chadwick (English)[1], is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. She appears in neither the previous series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha nor the alternate universe story Triangle Heart, but appears in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Signum is the leader of the Wolkenritter (German > "Cloud Knights"), a creation of the Book of Darkness. Signum's weapon is a chain-link sword called Laevatein, and as a magical creation, she has no familiar. She is named for the Opel Signum, much like characters of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha are named for cars, and her device appears to be named after the mythical sword Laevateinn. As per the other Wolkenritter, she has no last name (though in earth she is know as Hayate's mother Yagami Signum). (Source: Wikipedia)

MASKED RIDER 555 @ FAIZ (pronounced fives)
The Smart Brain Corporation, the world's most powerful corporation, is trying to take over the world using Orphnoch, the next stage in humanity's evolution, to covertly kill off the human population. In pursuit of this, they develop three suits of power armor, called Rider Gear (Delta, Faiz, and Kaixa), to find and protect the Orphnoch King, who can fix a defect within Orphnoch DNA which causes their genetic structure to break down, leading to death.

The Rider Gears are stolen by Hanagata, the Goat Orphnoch and former President of Smart Brain Corporation. He sends them to his foster children (dubbed the Ryuseiji, after the school they attended) so they can stop the Orphnoch from achieving their goal. However, Rider Gears were designed to be worn by Orphnoch, and humans are unable to activate the systems without undergoing genetic modification.

A young loner, Takumi Inui, is unwillingly drawn into the conflict between the Orphnoch and humans and becomes Kamen Rider Faiz to save the life of Mari Sonoda, one of the Ryuseiji. The Smart Brain Corporation begins targeting him in an attempt to retrieve the Faiz Gear.

However, there is division amongst the Orphnoch, as those who wish to co-exist with humans rather than kill them, begin resisting Smart Brain, who in turn targets them as well. Most of these "renegade" Orphnochs are either killed, remain neutral or begin siding with the Ryuseiji against the Smart Brain Corporation.

When the Tokyo police discover the Orphnoch are behind a series of bizarre murders, they begin operations to defeat the creatures, largely unaware of the various factions involved. They even begin performing experiments on captured Orphnoch in an attempt to find ways of destroying them, though this does not go well.

The Orphnoch King eventually awakens within a young boy named Teruo, whom Naoya Kaido and Keitaro Kikuchi saved and befriended. Now, it is up to the holders of the Rider Gears to band together and fight for humanity's survival. (source:Wikipedia)

The titular hero from "Kamen Rider Faiz" now gets a palm-sized action figure release rendered in S.I.C.-style detail! Sculpted by Kenji Ando, 12cm Kamen Rider Faiz shares the same high level of attention to detail as his larger S.I.C. action figure counterpart. The figure boasts over 20 points of articulation, and included are his signature Faiz Phone, Faiz Pointer, and Faiz Edge. Sharply detailed, finished with care, extremely poseable, and reasonably priced, too! (Source: Hobby Link Japan)
