Mr. Takayuki modeling world of top creators Takeya, that focus on the "artistic beauty" that the beauty of the design by Mr. Kenji Ando and skillful modeling technology, SIC series built a new concept in Japan of character figures world.

In this series, the characters created by the original author, Shotaro Ishinomori, are expressed by sculptors using their own imagination. The series has been surprising with its innovative style. The 59th work will be "Kamen Rider W Fang Joker & Kamen Rider Skull" scheduled for release in August 2011.

In this Interview Articles, we spoke to Kenji Ando, who has been at the core of the design of the SIC series since its launch, about "manufacturing," focusing on the "Kamen Rider W Series" that began development in April 2011.

■ SIC color arrangements

In the color arrangement of --SIC, Will there is such as Ando's own rules?

AndoWhen modeling speaking, in the end it is the part Tteyuu put a "dirty". Bandai-san also be included, I do not put too much "dirty" also other manufacturer's. Put ink into the black in the dark becomes part with paint, have put such as soiled slightly in the shadow, it is actually there SIC, also in the basic concept of Takeya's. So in the always painted surfaces we have put a "dirty". Because the original color is beautiful, because it becomes funny in it is it Too much, but we are conservative. "Do I? Angry" and we are making while saying, but in the after work "pretty I have changed design" or, if paint the color ring to its original character, I would quite visible ish it. Oh, do not be angry if this, okay probably Utte (laughs). So dare paint is based on a relatively (to the original character) close color ring.

- Well, as a color of the symbol, I pretty'm strong feeling for the rider.

AndoNot only to the rider, "mono" in shape, I think I'm Do it determined by the outline. Since also the rider's designers are firmly design, you also have to clear such image. So, even taking one color, it has a deep impression.
Double in the half change, But I will have the impression of various colors (laughs).

- Certainly, Silver Toka Toka Toka red yellow.

AndoStill double the metallic half right, the left half is the color concept of matte, it was heard from Ishimori professional rapids teacher.

- It's white Fang Joker also good.

AndoHayase to ask the color concept from the teacher, because it does not go to say that "Then Fang metallic", I became Let blowing Pearl, and.
At the same but is before supervision, the color of the Fang of the corner, it was a little dispute. Although I thought I'm silver, those who are working together is now advocated white theory.
Because it does not there is a special one of the SIC only to say that the material was examined on television and books.

- I'm ultimately I was what?

AndoToka look to silver at an angle, a little thinner in the silver, it would be whitish silver, there were twists and turns in the Toka inside, eventually was silver (laughs).

- Do you kind of struggle is common?

AndoAlso be referred to as "I different color" at the time of supervision, there are from time to time (laughs).

■ feelings for SIC arrangements and rider

- Toka such rider is easy to arrange, do you got to Attari?

AndoThere will ne. Showa rider (laughs).
Again at the time of the rider, so now as compared to different materials, such as costume is at all, perhaps there Toka a place that can not follow the design. Do to can also have a good child-centered, there was is that Do not bad (laughs). There will be a place that is easy arranged in reverse. At the same since has passed a considerable amount of time also from the broadcast, everybody I think as such "I rider" like there is surely in each.
In, of course there is also in me, because after design to chance that Morikomeru something here is large, or rather easy to do better of Showa rider, but it is easy to do with emotion to arrange.

- What would be that important to aging?

AndoAgain I like those who are growing up in their feelings. So to say, I do not mean that there is no feeling in the Heisei rider, such as double. However, speaking dare, it is not is still progressing the (aging) degree.

- In, and try to make a double at a later this after 10 years also to another one?

AndoI think that is in completely different things perhaps. At the same since the Heisei rider has a high costume inclusive of perfection and design, I "gap" is small. "Showa chance often" might still get to hear rude really and would say that, but it is I do not mean that Toka I hate boring. It because there will be something of the era era still. Of course, there are the people of the work that I watched when I was a child has strong feelings are. So towards the Showa rider, it's easy to project a something in me. Heisei but rider is also really like, it is slightly difficult in that sense.

- Do you have the Showa rider you want to try working?

AndoNo, the rider also Nde quite like Showa, I'd like to do all is said was spear ... (laughs).

- So, what about the most favorite rider?

AndoShowa at the most a favorite rider, in fact, but it was No. 2. Why? And be troubled when I heard I ...... (laughs).

- By reason to the contrary it will be concerned about (laughs). Not No. 1, will also be concerned about, such as the place of No. 2.

AndoNo. 1 it's different. Perhaps the rider first to see on TV is I think that it is No. 2. That at the time a re-broadcast frequently, may not contain white line on the arm of No. 2, which was seen in the re-broadcasting.
To be exact but is silver, but it is I was softening parentheses good, to the childish mind. So the re-broadcast of anew TV, when viewed from the first, the former No. 1 is not it plain to Iroteki. I No. 2 I hope flashy brackets compared to that (laughs). However, become the new No. 1 to then be No. 1, is not it has become metallic. What I hope brackets ... (laughs).

■ further growth of SIC

--As a new development for SIC, the "Kamen Rider W Effect Parts Set" is being accepted for order as a Tamashii web shop exclusive item from April 28th, 2011.

AndoAdditional release of the effect part is, it is the first time. But I think that becomes in the near category to the pedestal.
Etc. parts of now up to "flame", it was certainly not.
That being said Tteyuu "I see ......" (laughs).

- About the same as the increased importance of the pedestal, I think there is also a popular recent effect parts.

Ando(SIC is) Because the original is great, it becomes heavy and very large effect, retention is very. Heat metal of the metal shaft, there was no plan to put the initial effect, we have made quite long. So slightly, but it is I made in smaller flames.
...... I would probably heavy even this.

--The development of effects has also begun for SIC's Kamen Rider W series, and Kamen Rider W Fang Joker & Kamen Rider Skull will be the 59th work for SIC.

AndoSince continued for more than 10 years, I'm not at all like that consciousness is the person who (laughs). The first one was the one to two titles in one year.

- Now, you can arrange in Toei's accredited, but it is much Takeya-san and Ando.

AndoIt is the depth of the Toei like bosom, I mean Shotaro Ishinomori teacher of the force who have to do. It is Ishinomori teacher of living that was who admitted that "not you say," is the beginning of everything.

- Hobby Japan magazine, we'll also expand the original story "SICHERO SAGA" also.

AndoI am writing to rapids teacher Thanks. Gone out to riders who do not appear in the video work (laughs).

- By the way, 60 Will that work first be decided?

AndoOh ... I have to write this. The 60th work is the SKYRIDER of Mr. Takeya. Besides, the special stand of SKYRIDER is attached (laugh).

--What do you think about the development of the Kamen Rider W series? Accel isn't in the lineup yet...

AndoIf, if you do, of course, completely deformed! Otherwise series basis, but it does not hold (laughs).

- I think you also accelerator booster.

AndoBooster or ...... (laughs). Well it There is also extreme of the accelerator. The strongest form of Philip is a Fang, or "not a strongest do Extreme between the accelerator is?".

- I think you've been thrilled to hear so.

AndoAfter that, I want to do is also the Phantom. I is Orphnoch Toka high spirits, I'm not doing yet (laughs).

- Future development, we look forward really.

AndoI because some people you would stay at a much fan for more than 10 years. Also because of the kind of person who, in more play direction, I want to in the direction that you enjoy, you do not go unless squid.

--Thank you for today.
