Literally 2mm more of eyeliner paint and it would be flawless.

>>6398948
>>6398948
And maybe a resculpt around the bottom of the eyes so they'd look less baggy.

Also, a reworking of the proportions in general. How they should be reworked would depend on the direction of the sculpting.

Are they going for a realistic Chun Li or a SFV caricature look? Because it seems they're going for an in-between of these two aesthetics, where she has realistic details but cartoony proportions.

>This bombs and the line fails cause everyone bought the SHF Chun Li
I'd argue it was already bombing.
1. QC issues on Ryu and Bison such as plastic having shit tolerance and cracking on people. There isn't a single Bison without cracked shoulder sockets and many have ripped rubber skirts and stressed out hip joints. Ryu has his own set of problems like broken knees, cracked ankle sockets and if you try to take the gi off you will crack his shoulder sockets.
2. Stupid mistakes that shouldn't happen like fucking up Ryu's iconic eyebrow over headband design aesthetic. SC has flesh folding over the bandana instead of just the eyebrows. This Chun Li also fucked up with the paint on the eyes and eyebrows.
3. Shit scale.
4. Using rubber.
5. Less articulation than SHF.
6. Effect parts not as good as SHF

Let's be honest...if the line didn't have QC issues and paint/design issues then the line would have still had a hard time competing with SHF which has excellent QC, articulation and is in the proper scale. Bandai may not have nailed the SFV look but they were never going for it in the first place. They just wanted to make great figures that could be used in all kinds of Capcom displays.

Your other things are correct, but only an autist complains about scales between lines or calls one scale inferior to another. It's not a "shit scale," it's a scale that you don't collect. Boohoo, the world doesn't always cater to you.

She basically looks like a HE. And to think people were shitting on the SHF line while praising SC. Fast forward some months and all the QC issues the latter has across the board make them basically DOA.

>>6401197

What qc issues?

>>6401200
Cracked joints, ripped rubber,

>>6401207
Not surprising. Any pics/source?

Whatever, she looks fine. I'd rather have her with a that face instead of a generic anime girl face.

>>6401197
SC's shitty face doesn't absolve SHF's shitty face. The criticism for SHF Chun-Li's anime bullshit face is still 100% valid, even with another shitty head sculpt now on the market.

Think about it like this: we got our SHF, and it was a let down. Then we got our SC, and it was a let down.

And do you know what that means?

We're going to be let down for years before another attempt is made. We're talking minimum of 5 years before we get another option for Chun-Li. SHF fucked us over royally by giving us an almost perfect release, but then making the most uninspired face possible for Chun-Li and demolishing it. It might as well have been taken off of some generic shitty figma boat girl. There's nothing in the way of accuracy that denotes it as a unique face, and that's absolutely criminal. I have WAY more venom for SHF than I do for SC, because I wasn't expecting anything from SC and that's exactly what they delivered. SC could deliver figures with such wildly poor QC that they come in the box burnt to a crisp, and I would still blame SHF more for giving a shoddy product because they should absolutely know better.

>>6401222
I like the SHF's face and was pleasantly surprised by the articulation. To be fair, I can understand how some people might not like the SHF's anime face. While it's unique, it's also generic in the sense that it could pass for any anime China-girl.

>>6398977
Yeah, I think the "neither fish nor fowl" sculpting and proportions are what's off about the SC Chun Li. Well, that and her sad-tits face.

My complaint is they advertised it as 1/12 and it's not 1/12, therefore it's a shit scale. Don't assume I am shitting on it because it's a different scale than I wanted. I'm mad at false advertising.

>>6401222
The SHF face isn't "shitty" though, it's a perfectly reasonable representation that YOU didn't want. Would I have liked a Bengus style figure instead? Yes. Do I think SFV or SF4 look better than what we got? HELL NO. The only reason those look fine in their games is the shaders they use. The Storm Collectibles proves it's a shit sculpt without the use of said shaders. It's why Bandai probably went generic anime route and Capcom probably wouldn't let them do it Bengus style.

The SHF mimics the SF4 anime cut-scenes which were generic but it at least does match something despite you autists claiming it doesn't. Like I said, there are better looks they could have went with but there are also much worse looks.

>>6401440
I don't own her myself but personally I think Chun-Li's face looks alright. Reminds me of SF2 and the anime movie. It might not be 100% accurate to SF4, but it's certainly not bad-looking.

>generic realistic
Yeah, I think that's precisely what's wrong with it. It's generic realistic.

For example, take a mannequin with its vague features and dress it up. It'll look okay, maybe even really good.

But if you give it more pronounced features and a pair of realistic eyes, then it's going to look creepy and kinda disgusting.

Make a full on statue, made by highly skilled craftsmen, and it'll look brilliant.

SC Chun Li falls into the second category. It's neither generic nor realistic. It has realistic bags under the eyes and a pronounced nose, yet no cheeks. It's proportionally small if it's meant to be realistic, yet proportionally accurate to the cartoony source material.

>>6398974
>>6398977
Yeah, I think that's why there's something "off" about the figure in general. Even if we discount her "tired Chinese hooker" look.

>>6401570
Then you've finally gone full circle and conceded the point that you contested to begin with.

Other anon wanted an anime face and was content with the SHF, you want an unsculpted realist potato and are not content with the humanoid offerings so far.bottomline you're both selfishly hoping for a particular style and Bandai delivered on one of them since its appealing and sold like a charm.

>Martial artists generally aren't hollywood beautiful
Right, instead they're Chinese/HK martial arts movie beautiful, which means they actually look like women and not men in wigs.

>>6401572
>by highly skilled craftsmen
Completely subjective, since you're probably just thinking about making them look like an idealized female and rejecting what the highly skilled craftsman who sculpted the toy because it doesn't suit your idol.

Feels like you're just defending SOTA's generic stuff, which i passed over so easily. Just like I passed over SC's, because I'm certainly not even defending their shit.

>>6401579
All I'm saying is that you're hypocritical and being way selective about what's acceptable and what isn't, just because it suits your spin on the matter.

Is that what you're even trying to say with "Selfish?" I'm not really even sure and i think you're better off saying I'm autistic for expecting something from a video game to look like it came from a video game or whatever you want to use to dismiss criticism for your favorite toybrand over.

>>6398894
Bioware sculpts toys now?

>Everyone complaining about how SC figures apparently have bad QC issues, how bad they look, how bad the articulation is, and sperging over the tiny use of rubber

My Ryu and Bison are perfectly fine, so either I was super lucky and the ones I received didn't have as bad QC, or everyone in this thread is being autistic as shit and blowing the "issues" out of proportion.
I wonder if this is just a hivemind on /toy/? Damn. For the same price as the SHFs I much prefer SC because it just looks higher quality than the SHF. Much more details in the sculpt and paint, and has less of a cheaper shiny look on the plastic parts compared to SHF.
But definitely if you're looking for Street Fighter toys to play around with and handle like 10 year-olds then SHF is better, I just like displaying my figures.

I feel like most of the people complaining here don't even have the SC figures in-hand. From the Youtube reviews I watched before I bought Ryu it looked really good, and after receiving it in-hand it was what I expected and more. /toy/ is really the only place complaining about all of these claims like here >>6399739.

While y'all keep whining and crying about the use of rubber and "cheap QC" that doesn't break unless you have hamhands, I'll keep getting the SC figures because imo they look better than SHFs.

are there any other images of SC Chun Li?

>>6398894
I think the eye bags won't be noticeable on the actual product, partly from being washed out through production and partly from not looking at the figure through a magnifier. I guess they are over-scupting the details? At least I hope so, kinda how dot-printed figuarts faces actually look good in hand.

This type of shit always happens when a Figuarts version is released.

Their fanboys are the worst and will take any little evidence no matter how minor it actually is and blow it out of proportion, just so they can say that everyone should buy the Figuarts instead.

It's one of the reasons why the Star Wars and NECA threads are so bad these days. They never really recover as long as long as they continue releasing products, but at least they can admit how bad the product is is after preorders and stores no longer sell them... almost like these fanboys are just shop owners needing to clear out the merch.

I like how people in this thread aren't really defending SC's sculpt, nor anyone talking about how SOTA's stuff are the greatest. PAKs are brought up with a caveat. Hasbro's were mentioned to compare how bad is bad is bad. No one's even brought up the Revoltechs or the NECA figures.

So this thread, and others, show pretty clearly what really causes threads to devolve.

Also, everyone knows Takara made the best Chun Li.

But it's true, SC does have bad qc and shoddy practices. Take a look on this review of their Mike Tyson figure
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=My_MiePcOrA

The joints are made if bendy wires as if they don't care if it will break in the future as long the the customers get it in one piece. Now it's happening again to their SF and Mk line and I'm not surprised. If I'll buy a figure from them and not move the joints to not break them then I'll just buy a statue instead.

I know people like to shit on the design for looking "silly", but I personally don't mind it. Also considering how Akuma's entire gimmick is how he's not even a normal human anymore, I don't really find the lion mane design to be that ridiculous. Maybe I'm just biased towards Akuma's general design motif being sourced from deities and demonic entities which tend look more bestial in appearance, but it's why I don't really get all the joking about his new look.

Anyway, Storm put out more pics, and it's probably the first and only one I'll get from their line.

1/12 doesn't automatically equal '6 inches'.

>>6407596
So are you trying to prove his point anon? By listing how 1/12 works that is what you ended up doing. Ryu is a manlet and wanna guess how tall his figure is? Akuma is a slightly taller manlet than Ryu, wanna guess how tall his figure will be?
Manlets should have manlet figures if they are in 1/12 scale, no? That is what you stated
I guess that means these figures aren't actually 1/12?

Just as clarification, how loose does the cracked socket made the joints? Are they floppy now, or is it just manageable?

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on Bison. I'll probably get Bison, Alex and Zangief on Storm Collectibles to combine with my SHF fighters because SHF is unlikely to do Alex and Zangief, or even Bison since they barely do any villains and try fudge the scale

>>6407962
>Just as clarification, how loose does the cracked socket made the joints? Are they floppy now, or is it just manageable?
If your still considering getting it after knowing that its going to come broken, will it really matter how loose it is? It seems your determined to own it no matter how shitty it is.

>>6407764
Not sure why you're surprised, given that this thread is mostly to shit on a company for daring to make the same toys as another company.

>>6408069
>>6407764
Or maybe "toy collectors" aren't obligated to like something purely because of its source material.

>>6408073
They aren't obligated to like it but I'm seeing lots of people like on their fb page saying "Why not the previous games' Akuma design????" When it's obvious by now that they're only making figures from the SFV designs most probably because that's what they CAN do with their license from Capcom.

>>6408076
Oh, you were talking about the actual facebook, instead of calling 4chan/this thread that. Alright then.

>>6408073
Well, there's that too, but when it's an SFV thread about SFV and you hate the designs... why are you there in the first place?

There's a ton of shit i hate and I'm not in TF threads shitting up the place to tell everyone how much their Bayformer shit sucks or Barbie threads about how stupid and unarticulated they are with their non-human looking idol.

Shitting on Chun Li for looking like she's 50 is one thing, because she clearly doesn't in the game, but it's another for hating on Akuma's SFV design in the game.

Of course, this is ignoring the fact most hate clearly comes from people just not liking the company for making toys that another company is making.

>>6408088
>Of course, this is ignoring the fact most hate clearly comes from people just not liking the company for making toys that another company is making.
That's not it at all, and this isn't even a SFV thread to begin with, it's a Storm Collectibles thread.

The Akuma figure seriously has some faults, they didn't even give his mane any articulation/optional pieces to let him turn his head to the side properly and they seriously should have put some kind of paint detailing on his face beyond the black lipstick, it looks so bland and flat compared to the detailing they did to the hair surrounding it. And beyond that there're the usual worries of QC that SC has accumulated now.

That's my point, in that the hate comes mostly for the fact that this thread is to hate on the company.
The guy still has a point though, in that a lot of criticism is for them trying to make accurate looking toys.

>they didn't even give his mane any articulation/optional pieces to let him turn his head to the side properly
plz no retarded yamaguchi articulation and butchering the look of the figure.

>they seriously should have put some kind of paint detailing on his face beyond the black lipstick, it looks so bland and flat compared to the detailing they did to the hair surrounding it.
I'm not sure what more they can add.
I'm not sure if they already added the shadows themselves, or if that's just the lighting creating those shadowing effects in his face, but it looks fine as it is. There's really nothing they can do, unless you want them to darken the shadows that already exist?

>>6408088
>Shitting on Chun Li for looking like she's 50 is one thing, because she clearly doesn't in the game, but it's another for hating on Akuma's SFV design in the game.
This. Saying that the eyes on Chun looks lazy is fine because you're just picking apart the figure's execution with regards to the source. In comparison, shitting on the Akuma figure simply because of its design source when the Storm figures have clearly been inspired from SFV is just plain silly.

>>6408049
It does matter how loose it is. If it is still functional then I don't care what's inside the joint

>>6408135
How did they not foresee that clipping would be a huge problem for this character model?

>>6407184
It just looks dumb. Maybe if the mane ended at a beard on his chin he would look better, but he's a literal neckbeard with a man bun.
Then design comes off as a really desperate cry for attention on Capcom's end that backfired.

>>6407764
A lot of people flat out stopped following SFV so they don't know about a lot of these shitty new designs in the first place and were just expecting renditions of the characters that appeared in games they actually played, or at least something close enough. Akuma isn't close enough to most fans.

The face needs more shading/wash so it's not as plain and derpy looking.

The mane is stupid, but I wonder why they don't add the regular head on him. You can easily play as classic hair Akuma costume in SFV (as DLC) right away so it should be part of the license. I'd rather have an extra head than the extra open hands that kind of look the same compared to the other open hands pair

I'm beginning to realize that hamhands is a purely western-toy collector meme to excuse trash-tier quality control.

Yamaguchi articulation isn't good articulation, it's stupid gimmick articulation. Like plopping massive spherical joints into a cape or some of the other trash decisions that they make. Everyone wants more articulation, and a well done solution to Akuma's neckbeard would be welcomed by all, but nothing clever and well implemented ever comes from Yamaguchi and Revoltech, it's always monstrously ugly but their fans will defend it to the day they die.

Stop being an idiot. No one is defending "Yamaguchi articulation", but SC's decision to make the mane like this was beyond retarded.

The SFV akuma design is terrible, but this figure makes it look a lot worse.

It's either investing more into the character model with special dynamic technology or just do what every cartoon does and whogivesafuckletsjustclipmyamazingliondesign.

Articulation is great, until the point it starts making the toy look retarded.
Sorry, but not everyone is into Yamaguchis frankensteins made of balls and floating detached limbs with eye gouging edges everywhere.

Happy mediums exist, like most toylines, including Storm Collectibles, have proven. The head on that Akuma isn't even stuck in one place, so whats the complaint anyway? It can look side to side, up and down. What else is there?

>>6408793
There's no way to make the mane be articulated, unless you go with the retarded shit Yamaguchi does.

But they know this is Akuma. They know if they use character animations that replicate his movement in past games, his chin is going to be tight against his chest quite often. Even in taunts or character intros, where the camera is focused closely on him. It seems like an obvious mistake that could have been avoided just by having a little foresight.

SF5 is actually looking to replace SF3 as the least popular SF of all time due to it's janky mechanics and horrible redesigns. So it's no surprise people don't know about Lion King Akuma, because they stopped following the game the moment the FGC dropped it like the hunk of crap it is. Only thing keeping it alive is that Capcom owns/runs most of the US tourny events, so of course their baby will be kept on life support by this.

Season 2 killed SFV. SFV vanilla is kind of comparable to SF4 vanilla, yes it is a step down from the complexity of USF4 but it is fresh restart, all characters have unique V-trigger, and I actually welcome the lax execution requirement so that people can jump easier into the game and right into the mindgame and interesting part rather than spending dozens of hours in practice mode plinking the links in combos.

However, season 2 rather than improving on season 1 complexity, completely overturned the applecart once again, significantly nerfing several characters and clipping their limbs (Chun, Ryu, Nash) making all things you learned from S1 pointless. At that point a lot of mid level players, like the top 64ers and the bulk of stream watchers just dropped the game because of the bullshit.Without the midlevel crowd to support the streams, be engaged, SFV is more like a spectator sports now

Look at this. The plastic looks stressed and solidly damaged.

>>6409655
Regardless of cracking, how is the tightness of the joint? Does it still hold pose or it's totally floppy?

>>6409658
Even if it's tight at first it'll get loose quicker than if it were whole. When plastic fractures like that it'll continue to fracture when put under stress, like how a seam comes undone.

Not him, but there's no reason to talk shit over other people's preferences. Revo has more following than PAK's just by the fact that their fans are able to maintain a general thread unlike other failed general like PAK, MOTUC, etc.

You clearly don't like Revo, so good for you you can save up some money to buy other things you like better. Other people are certainly into Revo so good for them that they can get figures of character they like and do some extreme posing with it.

I'm not into BJD/Asian doll, Gunpla, Armymen, DBZ, Capeshit, but I don't go around and talk shit about them. You're literally saying that muh useless plastic garbage is better than your useless plastic garbage on Cambodian scuba diving imageboard.

>>6410483
Nah, Subjectanon hates SHF because reasons.

The Figuarts look to be the way to go. Even aside from stylistic choices, the SC figures are just badly made. A shame as I thought they looked pretty good but the QC issues are inexcusable.

A shame that we aren't likely to get non-tiny Revo SF stuff, I'd love a Revoltech Cammy done like their new comic book stuff.

So SC is like Mafex but worse because atleast Mafex made some improvement on its figures.

>>6410487

I just can't get behind SHF due to the scale. I realize 6 inch is the standard and what most people want, but I vastly prefer 7-9 inch.

Kinda makes sense, but there's dozens of toy companies who have no trouble using plastics that don't break and supporting swappable limbs/heads.

So it's a negative point, albiet a nonissue if it's not actually impeding the function of the toy.

>>6411137
That looks to be soft plastic already, since it seems to be moving in all directions without any problem.

Yeah, nah. Fuck outta here with that. How about instead you just make a durable toy that works in the first place. This ain't a fucking car. Just build a toy that can stand up to the stresses of what you supposedly designed it for, aka limb swapping.

Oh your issue is the hidden joint socket. Well mine are working great in spite of me constantly switching and posing. So they must be doing something right.

I don't own any SC figures yet and can't say what validity the claim about intetional breakage has, but the idea of creating intentional crack points is sometimes legit.

Pic related is an induced crack for retracting concrete. It's a different field and circumstances, I know. Just saying that it may be legit that instead of making a full slit on the socket to allow it to open they induced/predicted a crack so that the socket breaks the exact amount it needs to, or something.

I fear we can only hear the owners say whether the joints work or not, and either believe them or not.

I did read them. One or two reports of breaking don't make a QC issue. If that were the case, every toy would have QC issues because every toy gets at least a handful of reports against it. Cracking shoulder sockets is a valid QC problem. Do you see the difference? Maybe you're able to understand this and think critically, but I doubt it.

/toy/ is pretty fail when it comes to understanding anecdotal experiences, especially when it comes to talking about lines they never bother to pay attention to, except in threads like this about "rival" toylines.

Personally, i treat all complaints as a grain of truth, because that's literally how QC works. There's tens of thousands to millions of toys being produced and a couple of people complaining means shit in the long term.
It's why i prefer making my purchases in person, to see with my own eyes if there are any problems.
/toy/ used to be good with people telling others about their purchases, but its increasingly become contentious and exaggerated. So you have people here taking 2 or 3 examples and saying it applies to the whole or calling someone a troll for talking about flaws in their own toys.

It's nothing like that at all. The break was all the way through and there are holes to stop the cracks from getting bigger, so in theory the crack shouldn't spread.

I had Bison for 1.5 weeks as desk buddy and the shoulder hasn't loosen up yet. I'm not shilling or anything, as I was also initially skeptical of SC claim and Anthony Cuckstom but the claim might had some credence in it.

It's a load of shit, whether they are speaking the truth or not, because other companies are able to produce plastic joints that don't break at all.

But as said before, it's ultimately moot, since the cracks and breakage don't seem to impede his actual function.
It's like your phone coming with a plastic film to protect the screen from scratches and it falls off. Who needs that shit anyway (fucking kids! I know you brats dont take care of your shit, yet I still have my original iPhone from the 00s and the screen is still pristine, despite many falls, tumbles, and skids, which i carry with me to this day along with my modern smartphone!)?

>since the cracks and breakage don't seem to impede his actual function.
If the cracks are real cost cutting measures, then it might loosen the joint, or make it unsustainable in the long run.

Anyway, as I said, he's been my desk bud for 1.5 weeks now and his shoulder hasn't really loosened up. See pic related, the shoulder socket is tight enough to lift Figuarts Ryu and maintain pose without any help of stands. The truth is probably somewhere in between, maybe it is a cost cutting measure because they initially engineered joints that are too tight, but then they consider that it is good enough for QC and the hole prevent the crack from spreading further so it is good enough and they purposely break/cut the socket where they wanted it rather than having it uncut and have people break the shoulder sockets at random stress points

Still Bison is a pretty awesome figure, I don't mind mixing lines and I'll collect the bigger characters Bison Zangief and Alex from SC with medium characters Ryu Chun Cammy Rashid and others hopefully from Figuarts

Me too, but fortunately with the SNK revival of the series, there's hope we'll get much more merchandise. IIRC, figma have Kyo and Iori on the works, and I'm here praying for a Mai Shiranui figure.

>>6419704
Awesome! The figma look really underwhelming so I'm glad we have options

Definitely more than i could have even hoped for

>>6420929
I'm about to say amiami but looks like the preorders are closed, same on hlj... well the best chance is waiting for the release praying that they get on stock or someone don't pay his order and you can get it.

>>6420975
Huh, they were actually open for quite a while up on there. I wonder if they were scooped up after the SC releases.

>>6419704
I wish they could hurry and make more MK figures first before tackling other franchises.
Shao Kahn when???

>>6425038
they will fuck that up too

>>6425038
if they make wedding gown Nina, I don't know if I could resist, QC problems or not.

>>6398894
I didn't know that they got the rights to do MvC:I Chun Li
>>6425049
They better fucking not

>>6425038
Please make a good King, thats all I want

>>6425038
I know they might fuck it up, but I'm just glad Tekken's getting a new toy line. Hoping for Asuka and King.

>>6420975
most likely amazon will re-open orders at some point, but if you don't want to wait for them, bbts currently has pre-orders available for cammy.

>>6425038
Give me an Asuka Kazama

>>6425038
Amazing. Depending on their character offering I might need to splurge on SFV characters too

>they can make Akuma with an actual good design now thanks to Tekken 7
Dodged a bullet there

>>6425038
Nice, now we can get a GOOD Akuma.

>>6426736
They incorporated Akuma into Tekken lore and even shoved him into the history of two central characters in the series.

>>6426747
>>6426755
I wonder how exactly do they negotiated the licenses and copyright?

I mean, invited and special characters from other unrelated franchises is a common thing, like Link in Soul calibur, or Jason on Mortal Kombat. But plainly taking one fighting character from another fighting company... is weird. Most crossover fighting games go like half and half, like SNK vs Capcom, or Tekken X Capcom.

Taking only one character as special dlc? Only instance I can remember would be Ryu on the smash bros series.

>>6426836
Ono and Harada are bros.

SF x Tekken was also made awhile back so I'm sure they made some sorta negotiation to stick him in 7 so people will get ready for the future cross over made by Namco themselves.

>>6426151
>>6426287

If they do this that'd be amazing and hilarious.

>>6429498
Thank goodness. I'm actually okay with Storm doing his SFV look since I still wanted a figure of the new design, but with Bandai making his classic look I can enjoy both designs without worrying about which figure to get since I can just get both now.

>>6429498
What was that anon? That was saying Capcom was only allowing toy companies to do the new design? Yeah, doesn't look like that is the case.

The fuck?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>>6430299
Are you retarded? My guess is that they let Storm (or Storm approached Capcom) to do solely SFV character designs while they let Bandai (or Bandai approached Capcom) to make characters from SF4 or previous designs. It isn't that hard to understand.

I hope they come with MESSATSU DEMON FINISH background, similar to how Ryu came with the waterfall stage and Chun came with the Hong Kong street stage.

Wondering what kind of other gimmick Figuarts can muster. It'll be boring if he just come with Hadouken effect

Considering that they showed six new prototypes, it would be shocking if Shao Kahn was never released. It's probably going to be a while, though.

Looks good to me, gonna get it.

Is Alex kill? We saw the prototype super early, maybe even the 3rd shown after Bison and Ryu but the got lapped by Ken, Akuma, Zangief and Chun Li in term of release date and paints

>>6433224
Their washes don't look good. Look at M.Bison for example. It looks really bad.

I hope the MESSATSU glowing back is also an option on regular Akuma. 3 repaints each on alt colors looks crazy, these obscure repaints are going to sell double digits. I'm a really big fan of SFV and even I ain't got money or shelf space for the repaints. The only people who are gonna buy the alts are people who uses these alts as their signature mains online.

What a wasted opportunities. Nobody are gonna buy those recolors. I would've bought red roided V-Skill Zangief though but they didn't offer that.

I hope for the best of collectors, Storm can understand their limitation with hand sculpting and don't go directly against Figuarts. There are several characters, like Alex, Balrog, Urien, Necalli, basically bigger characters with strong muscular and facial definition that fits SC style really well.

Leave the anime girls like Chun, Cammy, Karin, Mika and the twinks like Rashid and Vega to Figuarts

Maybe, but isn't like Figuarts have never done a Bulky buy in the past.

Also, the scales don't matching good

>>6440219
Yeah to each of their own. I don't mind exaggerated size for the big guys & villains. Not that the artsyle is ever consistent to begin with. I'm fairly impressed with SC Bison, he's super imposing and his size really adds to him.

I saw a few of the repaints at SDCC had TRU exclusive stickers on their packaging.

Say what you will about their SF stuff, but thus far their MK figures have been pretty good.

>>6440379
>but thus far their MK figures have been pretty good.
This, but then again, I'm pretty sure that their MK figures have been far more well-received compared to their SF figures.

For anyone who's interested, this store has the SDCC exclusive Hot Ryu for $58.99 instead of the exorbitantly expensive $100 eBay listings: https://www.freshfigures.com/products/storm-collectibles-street-fighter-v-hot-ryu

BBTS also has it up for $74.99 but with shipping it would be like $80 while the former link has the option for free shipping or $10.99 2-day shipping (so still $69 instead).

>Anyway, as I said, he's been my desk bud for 1.5 weeks now and his shoulder hasn't really loosened up.
Bison follow up here, I've been fiddling with him for about 3 weeks now. Does anyone notice that the ball joint on his hips gets this weird white powder accumulating? I think that is literally from the hip joints being too tight and the ball joint literally grinding over time. Out of curiosity I tried to pop the hips off and blew over the white dust, and now both of his hips becomes super floppy and immediately pop off with ease. Nothing a layer of super glue cannot fix, but I imagine it is not a permanent solution, and I'll continue to grind the super glue layer again and have to reapply the treatment.

In contrast the shoulder hasn't really loosen up further, I'm kinda buying their excuse that it might be intentional. Who would've thought that the hips are more of a problem than the shoulder for Bison.

Anyway SC needs to step up their game. Cracks or no cracks, all the ball sockets except for the cracked shoulders are showing stress marks and evidence of grinding, which is a shame because Bison is an amazing imposing figure and fit their style really well

that looks awesome. I really really hope we get a King figure as part of the initial figures made. Heihachi and Kazyua are solid picks to start with but you gotta have King in there asap.

>>6438853
I wonder how they are going to do the opening chest plate for the claw/missile/bomb/net launcher?

>>6454133
It will probably have alternate chest plates to simulate the opened torso.

>>6454133
>>6454221

More likely an accessory that gets attached to the torso, like some kind of clip or something. Alternatively, not giving a shit and including only the accessories like the net or the bomb and missiles.

A whole torso alternate accessory is quite a lot of material and dedication, and I can't remember any brand going that far.

>>6454232
Gilgamesh has a whole alt torso. Some figma have alt legs as well.

Does anyone with busted Bison want a replacement part? >>6464185

Even though I'm a huge Street Fighter fan I just can't make myself give a fuck about a new figure line since I know it will die quickly and I won't get my favorite characters.

>>6430747
Fair is fair, I think this actually looks good compared to earlier shots where she looks like a tired hooker. She has a bit of a hooker pose here but otherwise, looks like an adequate Chun Li.

>>6464509
Yeah, I can see this. It's 100:1 odds that SHF will only go so far before calling it quits. They're just looking for one or two dud releases before they get the justification to do so. Rashid will be the first one, who knows what the second will be that kills it all. But it's going to happen.

SC I would put at like 90:1 odds that they won't finish up the main non-DLC roster of SFV. At the very least they're not afraid to make as much money as possible off of their molds with the deluge of recolors, so in a way that lifts ones hope slightly. But where's the actual uniquely SFV characters that were introduced for the game? Are they such a small operation that it makes them risk-averse to the non-iconic characters?

I honestly don't se a SOTA 2.0 with either line in terms of roster depth. There's no way.

I just want SFV Juri

Exactly. I want characters like Necro and Rolento, not 15 recolors of a Ryu that doesn't match any of my other SF figures.
This is why I dream of winning the lottery and starting my own toy company.

sounds more like the top coat they sometimes give to figures for a matte look is rubbing away.
