Among the many collector's item of TAMASHII NATIONS, it stands out as "the only brand that can arrange Kamen Rider under official supervision". Chogokin)”. Inspired by the "SPAWN" figures made by McFarlane Toys in the United States, "SIC" started with the tag of sculptor Takayuki Takeya and Kenji Ando, and quickly became a representative of the Japanese collector's item market. I grew up.

Therefore, this time, we invited Mr. Takayuki Takeya, who appeared as a memorable first and second guest of "Interview Articles", and Mr. Yukio Fujioka, who is in charge of modeling SIC. About "SIC" and "SIC Takumi Soul" that have come, "EQUIP & PROP (Equip & Prop)" and "GARO Gokudama" derived from "SIC", and the new brand "Makai Kado" starting in November 2011 He talked about the "GARO" series with the addition of Currently, Mr. Takeya, who mainly supervises rough designs and arrangements, and Mr. Fujioka, who is known for his precise and reliable modeling. What kind of words will come out of their mouths?

■ SIC of birth and its History

- First of all, please tell us about your start-up originally of "SIC".

TakeyaOriginally "SIC" is, I thing that Katsuhiro's fountain that had been enrolled in the Old Boys Toy Division was planned. So I was not born without the passion of Izumi, I also even though is so as the work's ... Bandai let me do quite liked from the beginning start, be considered as a mass product that's very special series I think I. So the initial start-up is, ask them to do with your so free, I thought I wonder if really all right (laughs).

- It is known as "SIC" in their own arrangements, but to become a Sajikagen point of the arrangement is?

TakeyaBasically, we try to emphasize the ... impressive part and good part to the fullest so as not to disturb the original image. But It is also the balance of the whole, the neighborhood is it is still a trade-off. So as not to offend when they are for the time being supervised, it is like a thing we are not to think at all (laughs). I correction instructions will enter somewhat even now, recently, it is often not part of the effect on the overall atmosphere.

- Style that is expressed the name of the original teacher in the package was also a breakthrough for its time.

TakeyaIncluding speed to make a prototype, we knew from the beginning that's impossible be considered how to make all in one person. So talking to Mr. Ando, ​​we decided to allocate work to each character and works. Basically, I'm a style referred to as a "person who could do when we can do is do," but ...

Since I often can not wake up in the morning on Sunday, Heisei rider has basically Mr. Ando is in charge (laughs). For the name of the original artist, but there is also a case like making me everyone or not the closer, "I made this this person" has a because to have them referred to as chitin. Also anything and everything to become my name to feeling bad.

--SIC originally started out as a statue incorporating ver. A.N.I.M.E., but how did it evolve into an action figure?

TakeyaIn that regard, I think Ando-san's achievement is great. I'm not very good at thinking up ver. A.N.I.M.E. or joints.
But I at first I was thinking say "Do I wonder Bandai side of somebody doing" (laughs).
Thanks to recently has also firmly joint, it would have reached a fairly high level even if purely seen as a toy.
In a sense, it is the landing point.
If I wanted to make as much as possible pose with a sense of movement without showing the joint, to you not say if from the beginning to the Statue.
In that sense, was born as if the statue series "SIC Takumitamashi" of the collection size is branching from the "SIC" is, Will was inevitable is in at the time of the flow. Also "SIC Takumitamashi", the early days of I was also in charge of the prototype on their own, but recently ... draw me is first rough picture, I am making a prototype to you along with it, and its supervision it is in the style of. Although had is doing from earlier together, also of Fujioka kun became involved in earnest the work of Mr. Bandai, it is from the "SIC Takumitamashi" around.

■ dense manual and state-of-the-art technology is fused "Garo

- On the other hand as derived line from the "SIC" it is, "Garo

Takeya"Garo

FujiokaThat it was ... hell rather than training (laughs).

- Very of the "Garo

FujiokaAfter all, it the decoration of the whole body is a place that should not if one does not Ika one made by. For the first installment of Gallo, but I survived because there were also decorations that I had served in the etched parts, the other characters I made all from everyone one. Kokorometsu Jushin Gallo something is, I was making while I think, "I wonder if being released in Really?" (Laughs).

TakeyaRecently, it is possible to scan three-dimensional objects with a computer, so it has become possible to create data such as the "Garo Gokutama" series based on the reduced size of the previous item.

FujiokaWhile or up the accuracy consider the balance, I feel that going to work was added to arrange. Anyway, I'm Since the fine work eyes hurt, hell even now it had not been for the help of the kind of state-of-the-art technology (laughs).

TakeyaTaking a little more age, But I become invisible (laughs). But when think so, "Mr. Ando is to have doing the number from the next to the next, I wish it very much," I think again the. Really want you to be careful in the body (laughs).

--The new "Makai Makai Kado" series of GARO, which will begin in November 2011, will eliminate the previous interchangeable ver. A.N.I.M.E. and expand the range of motion of the action figures, while adding effect parts as additional options, making it a highly satisfying item for both old and new GARO fans. In addition, planning for Madou Baten is also steadily progressing towards its release. This time, a long, thin cape that flutters in the wind will be prepared as a new part to perfectly recreate GARO's riding pose.

Fujioka"Makai Kado because" is the formative are almost diverted of the "EQUIP & PROP (Equip & Prop)", I have been mainly responsible for supervision. As an actual work, it looks like you are checking prototypes with new joints and correcting the position and balance of joints.

Since the person of so much of the size is increased also the degree of freedom of the movable portion, it is fun to move.
However, it seems that the release of "GARO" item will continue in the future, and it may be the true hell for me from now on (laughs).

(Part subsequent to the sequel is a public plan on September 7, 2011. Stay tuned)
