The interchangeable eyes are a pain because, as you can see in OP's photo, you have to remove the entire head, then pop the eye piece off the ball-jointed neck, replace it with a different eye piece, and finally put the head pieces back on.
Because both the front and back halves of the head come off, the dog ears often get knocked out of their small ball-joint sockets, meaning they get loose and floppy with ease (they can also be pushed back in with ease but it's a pain that this has to often be done when posing him).
Finally, he only comes with one Aura Sphere effect part which he can't even hold - it comes with a separate stand piece to hold the effect part on, then you fold Lucario's hands around it. Oh, and his hands only have a hinge joint - they can't rotate at the wrist or anything like that.
So whilst it looks nice, it isn't very structurally sound, something that most D-Arts figures have in common (literally S.H. Figuarts with a different brand name, which were later merged into the S.H. Figuarts line).
They're not worth a ton though so I won't bother selling mine, and again, it looks nice.
Oh, as for SIC, most of the newer ones are good, but a lot of them, primarily the much older ones, have a lot of quality control issues. Thin and/or small parts that break (particularly joints) are the common problems with SICs. The handful of SICs I've owned were really good though.
