I'm the new Century King!
I was wondering if someone could help me with whether to pick the SH FiguArts Kamen Rider Decade or the SIC Kamen Rider Decade? I'm really stuck between the two and I don't know which one to get.
SH FiguArts DCD VS. SIC DCD

I think it comes down to which style you're more into. The SIC is pretty awesome, but the SHF is more show-accurate. I got the SIC because that's what I've been collecting for ages now, but if I collected SHFs I would be all over the Decade one.
Do you like how the SIC looks? Are you okay with toys that are pretty huge (8 inches) or do you prefer a smaller scale? (5 inch) Do you own lots of Figuarts or SICs? Do you like Decade's complete form?
Decade looks best in the company of other Riders. If you own more SICs or Figuarts over the other, go with the majority. Both are about even in terms of articulation nowadays, so the display possibilities are about tied. The biggest selling point for SIC Decade would likely be the whole Complete Form thing.
I'm an SIC collector, so I'm biased towards the SIC.

SIC are around 8 inches. SHF are around 6 inches.
SHF leans toward the show while SIC is darker and crazy
I like both. but it depends what you like more on size.
but I heard that SIC figures parts fall apart for some toys when you move them too much. but I only heard this. I don't own SIC figures.

They're two very different things, in two very different price ranges. It's just down to which one you prefer really.
I have both too. It's more like SHF = around 5.5 inches, S.I.C. = around 7 inches.
The S.I.C. has sturdy joints for a S.I.C. with easily to change parts. The cons about it is probably the black lines running through the eyes instead of the smooth with textured stripe in the original.
Outstanding point is the transformable gun/sword, articulated DecaDriver with a slot for the cards, and the cards all come in a hard plastic backing for you to stick on. (The cards are double_sided) I personally also love the aestheic of the clear pink parts, along with the details of the interiors on the legs. (They are removable).
The SHF has better articulation, especially around the shoulders, because the S.I.C. can't reach from one side to the other to show him opening the DecaBooker or whatever it's called. Cards are made of cardboard and you have to cut them out yourself, they are also single sided. The card holder is also openable, but doesn't have a nice indented area for the cards. If you want a figure that you're gonna play around or pose around a lot, you'd want to get the SHF, because they have strong ankle joints made of die-cast that helps weight it down for standing, and have overall strong joints that doesn't loosen up easily.
The con is the mold for the head, there are two horizontal seam lines across the face, one of the forehead, and one across the mouth. They didn't have this in the prototype photos.
