Sad that the articulation wasn't that great. Fighters really need good range to make good poses. If he can't pose he should go home and be a family man. Yeah, I know, lame joke, sorry...
By the way, Anthony, do you already have the 80th anniversary Iron Man? Oh boy, I want to see what you have to say to Hasbro about all the QC issues with that figure.
Not yet
I'm ok with the scale of Storm Collectibles Street Fighter as long as the figure itself is faithful to the design and height of characters in game.
I don't mind that the Storm figures aren't necessarily 1/12 scale, but I do agree that it'd be nice if they were in-scale with each other. Even within the Street Fighter line there are discrepancies, but hopefully they've settled into a more consistent scaling system.
I love this Guile's aesthetics. He doesn't really look like he does in-game, but the design seems more based on the SF2 anime/comics, which I personally prefer as opposed to the in-game designs (especially since the SF2 animated movie did so much to define the look of the Street Fighter franchise going forward).
Looking forward to your review of the P1 colour Guile and Sagat
Your reviews are actually reviews, i love it
Not a line that I collect, but it's always great to watch your reviews - very objective and even-handed.
Also, whoop! Got shipping notification on the Beast head. Looking forward to seeing it in person, albeit my beast figure is still wrapped up with other pre-orders I'm waiting for 😅
The scale isn't a big issue if we are comparing to other figures from different brands and lines but when comparing to what the company said about it or the scale from the figures in the same line it becomes annoying at least and a deal breaker for some collectors. Aesthetically it has some issues I can't wrap my head around, the American flag doesn't have a reason for not being accurate, and there are issues with the articulation that become aesthetic ones without giving something in return. The articulation as Anthony said is very good and very bad, we should look at it like this, when there are sacrifices there as to be a reward of some kind, at least when were talking about action figures. If the articulation doesn't work properly but as a direct result from it the aesthetic becomes some what great we can argue about it but we understand it was a decision, the opposite can also be understood. This is a different situation, in this case the articulation could've been done without hurting the aesthetics so it's just a stupid mistake. I think we can say, with a fair amount of certainty, that this is a good quality figure with mistakes that could have been solved without sacrificing anything in particular, without increasing the initial investment in any way, they actually look like sloppy mistakes, maybe Storm was in a hurry to release this action figure but for the price point they release this figures for there should be no excuses. I'm still on the fence with this line, I don't know if I buy the SH Figuarts, the Storm or just keep my Sota Toys but I need to choose wisely and fast because they will go way up in the after market. Thank you for the review Anthony it really comes in handy.
How do you keep up with all the figures that come out?
They had this for sale at EVO this year
Nice review Anthony. Was gonna ask, what stand do you use for your 6 inch figures, preferably for marvel legends??
Maybe the SFII figures are in scale with each other and not necessarily SFV?
So here's my theory, this line is not in scale because it's SFII. Not SFV. It's a silly excuse but it would explain alot. As well as the reason why we did get figure stands.
Cue *Guiles Theme Goes with Everything*
I think that potbelly is a dealbreaker for me.
I love this figure. I looking forward to see Bandai's Guile.
Not the absolute best storm release but I still like it a lot. The colors are nice and saturated which makes it pop
Awesome figure and review man
Kind of happy sota still holds up
I thought I was the one person to having the same issue with my Evil Ryu having one leg longer than the other leg, lol
Dang bro why you postening at midnight also great review
i think the camoflauge looks great
Am happy with the scale
I love how the Street Fighter 2 line is looking but sucks to see the problems with the articulation. Seems Sagat is the best so far and I hope the new ryu and ken have better hips that dont pop the torso..
Great review as always.
Dope figure
Sota guile still a great figure
Scale doesn’t bother me because in the game a lot of the characters were different sizes so to me it looks ok on a shelf, the two ryu’s being different sizes is a little weird but it’s ok, the huge gaps in guile’s torso area kinda sucks but I’ll still get him, overall tho, I think the sf and mk figures are pretty good
I love the color of guile green and blue
Storm took the 1/12 scale branding off of the street fighter figures long ago lol wish ppl would only realize that and I think the only figures they still put that on the package for is mortal kombat
Thats what I noticed
Dang, I didn't realize Storm Collectibles scaling is THAT all over the place, especially within their own specific lines.
So Baffling.
It also is a tad amusing that the 'green' in the flash kick accessory should've been 'blue' as it would represent the blur from the his pants (In this version, being the Blue camo)
Solid in-depth review as always!
Yeah. Although...blue plus yellow... I'm sure that's what they were going for...
@@AnthonysCustoms probably.
Nice accessory parts regardless.
Shame those aspects lacked a stand, but I mean it's not like other companies are any better.
@@theCHAMBA check out the review for Sagat. It's a heck of a piece.
It looks like he's about to comb his hair in the thumbnail.
The Sagat figure is the best in this line.
Him or bison
Navy Guile!
I think they are making a scale for street fighter 2 and one for street fighter 5,cause why i gonna buy a new ryu just for the hited face,or why buy a new vega o zangief if the sfV its so beatiful...well cause it looks shorter
Late comment I know, but did anyone else comment about guile wearing military boots, while ryu is only barefoot? I don't know how many people wear boots for work but they do make you taller at least an inch and if that was on purpose and taken into consideration from the manufacturer, then I'm impressed.
Guile do hunch over when in action
I am glad guile is big lol.
He’s either American Stroheim or American Polnareff
Or he is his own thing :)
It would be cool if you did a video with the ones who you gave a 10. The 10 best figures of all time, rated 10/10 according to you (as of 2019).
None have a perfect score because none have been perfect.
why are you repainting evil ryu as regular ryu.... hes supposed to be that color
Disappointed leg articulation especially for guile also boy the scale im still going to try to get to replace the sota figure since my sister broke his leg off
they dont even scale with their MK figs... you have an SF and MK license but we cant put the figs side by side
Are you gonna get Polnareff's figure?
I have it
@@AnthonysCustoms Nice!
I think storm made their ultra sf 2 figures in different scale than their sf v line, that's why guile looks better scaled next to that evil ryu. Btw that gappage and that 90 degree elbow is a bummer, along with him not being able to do the split, oh well, i guess i wont buy (more than 2) of this figure.
This. First Ryu used is from a different game (SFV). Different scale for that line I believe. Definitely different character designs and proportions versus SFII. Different artists.
I agree ,I think SF2 is on its own scale then SF V
BBTS price is $85! That is crazy. This seems like a $35 - $40 max purchase
Bbts didn't set the price. Storm did.
The color blue is the wrong shade on the storm figure he's a navy blue. Much closer on the SOTA.
Lol cyclops is supposed to be the tallest person there at 6'2" and he is the shortest
Storm collectibles = Marvel select
why are you comparing them though? vastly different price points.
It was pretty obvious that Storm stopped caring about Scale once they made their KoF line. It's a real shame honestly because just like the games they come from, crossplay is a huge thing with figures of fighting game characters. Gonna feel really forced when posing these guys next to eachother, let alone with figures from other lines.
Ryu height is 5’9, guile is 5’11 and kyo is 5’11& 1/2 and rugal is 6’5. Kinda wish Antony did a side by side comparison to see how they all look next to each other
Yeah. I'll just get 50 figures out for every review
I have guile
But Ryu is only 5’9 and Guile is 6’1 so I think it looks fine but the evil Ryu is too tall
I hate that they changed the scale
I really want the accessories alone not the figure.
Hey maybe it’s the new thing. First there was beer gut Spider-Man, then Thor, now Guile! Maybe they next we’ll see pooch belly female heroes or pregnant ones. 😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The 1st regular Ryu keeps getting shorter and shorter every review
As good as these figures are, their selection for SF characters is getting annoying. There are more than 70 characters in the entire franchise Storm can make, yet the original twelve, plus Cammy, is all they want to focus on? That's all they're showcasing at every con they go to. Maybe that has more to do Capcom setting restrictions on merch, but considering Storm were ballsy enough to announce a new line for Darkstalkers, of ALL things, you would expect to see more variety from them. I haven't been this let down since Play Arts had the license. Sagat was literally the only new SF figure I was excited for all year.
More people like the og 12 though... But they've made Alex and Akuma.
AnthonysCustoms We need a lot more than Alex and Akuma. Juri Han is a fan favorite. Where is her figure? Where are Cody and Guy? What about Karin Kanzuki? If they want to attract more buyers, they can't just keep riding on the popularity of the OGs. For anybody who's been supporting the SF brand in all its different iterations since the 90's, seeing them announce a new version of Ryu, or a new color variant for Chun-Li or Bison all the time is insulting.
@@TruMorbid you have it exactly backwards. They're aiming to appeal to all the fans since the beginning... Not only the new ones. Your personal preference is tainting your perception.
@@AnthonysCustoms Nobody's saying they should only appeal to new fans. But on that same token, appealing to all fans would mean having a more even mix of characters from each series, not have 90% of it coming from SFII. SH Figuarts has Storm beat in that regard.
@@TruMorbid thing is, if you look at what sells out first it's always the OG designs. The new costumes usually warm shelves until they go on sale.
To me it feels like they tested the water with SF5 but found the reaction was less than that of MK and other designs from the 90s, so they slowed down.
Honestly though they have so many franchises at this point it's crazy...
🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭😀😀👍👍👍👍👍
Sota making storm look bad
Don't like his face, other than that pretty cool 👍
aw dude lame
The scale really bums me out
I’m so glad I stopped collecting this line.
What are you collecting now?
