I mean, I look at this Akuma figure and all I think of is Mufasa from the Lion King. I mean like, the first thing I think of is "That's beyond our borders Simba, you must never go there" I mean, i'm on my The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps tonight kick right now.

Because on the game the hair comes from his chin like a beard. On the figure it obviously comes from his neck like a mane.

These guys are going to keep on until I buy into this line. That is really annoying. Can't they just fail and go away so I can keep my money?
I have yet to see Bison or I would own it. If they make a Guile I will have to PRE-ORDER! Somebody really needs to stop them $55 is too much. Do I even have to say anything about Blanka? Last edited by Bearjew; 10-03-2017 at 06:24 AM.. |

Can we please get a new thread for this. That aside this is fantastic news for those of you who weren't fond of the SFV designs. I get that they were not for everyone but I was on board for this completely. Being a hardcore fan of the series I'm going to be on board with these too. Classic Akuma

Oh man. Violent Ken?
Will I finally get a damn Dee Jay figure? |

Very cool! Honestly I think Storm has done a better job with Mortal Kombat in terms of character selection though. The Street Fighter license must have something that says, only make Chun Li, Ryu, Ken, M. Bison, Cammy, and Akuma. It seems those are the only characters we ever get in figure form. Unless you are SOTA, who made nearly all of the characters.
Why no Vega or Blanka? |

I honestly don't know that I agree. All their Mortal Combat figures are the same figures repainted. I also think that the Street fighter figures have better accessories than the Mortal Kombat figures. As you stated though it may all come down to licensing. I think often they test the waters and see if it will even work then expand. Hopefully in the future we can get better characters from both games.

They teased several others as well. All in all, it's around 10 or more different characters. Street Fighter is just variant after variant of the same core characters. |

Now we can get the original looks for Akuma, Vega, Guile and Ken.

Why announce a new line when they havent even touched upon the full roster from SF5 ? Better focus all your attention in making the best out of SF5, then move on to a new license. Or so I would think....
edit: pff, just read Joe's full description. Sounds like a poor excuse to release a repainted Ryu and Ken figure with different headsculpts...... Last edited by magma169; 10-03-2017 at 09:07 AM.. |

Keep in mind, Storm is still a relatively new, small company here. You're not going to get everything all at once. I'm 100% for any company who can maximize their molds to reduce costs on items, as that money can then be rolled into all-new molds.
The biggest hurdle for Storm is this is essentially all they do. The game licenses and then random bits of 1/4 scale and 1/6 scale items once or twice a year. Unlike SH Figuarts, where Bandai has a mind boggling amount of additional products, there's nothing to absorb some of the costs of one off molds. So you put out 4 or so ninjas, then hit fans with something like Shao Kahn. Or you put out a dozen or so Ryu colorways as various exclusives and use that to (hopefully) fund newer molds.

I'm collecing all of the Storm as of now because they are big and badass and poseable. this line is too expensive to try to play catch up...so the frequency in which they drop is great for the amount they are (cost) Quote:

This could be fantastic. Let's have some P2 variants please. I need a couple of DeeJay figs and would probably upgrade most of my Revolution figs too. Dhalsim, Zangief, Honda and Mika - all looked pretty great but were so fragile! I've got one broken variant of each of them - except for Mika, who just likes to fall to pieces when you look at her.
I'd also be keen for a couple of other versions of early wave characters who didn't get many variants in the SOTA line. I'd take another Bison & Sagat or two... I'd love to see some of the other great SF characters we didn't get with SOTA too - they easily could divert a lot of my funds. However, like many here, I dread that we'll see another first wave of Ryu, Evil Ryu, Ken, Violent Ken and maybe Chun-Li. Please no! Save the repaints for later waves! Take some hints from SOTA (who were pretty successful with their line) and spread out those 'popular' (and overproduced) characters some to keep people paying attention. <aaaannd breathe...> |

Agreed Joe, there are way more characters for MK! Yes some are repaints, but at least they are different characters. Plus they have interchangeable heads which make them look much different. Such as Scorpion with a Skull head or Reptile with the Reptilian head. Aside from that, Shao Kahn is a huge character that was only poorly made by Jazwares and 1 other (much older) figure from years ago.
They teased several others as well. All in all, it's around 10 or more different characters. Street Fighter is just variant after variant of the same core characters. Quote:

Oh for eff's sake! My already all-in on the SF5 line, and now this? SF2 will always be the definitive versions for me, so I guess I'm all in AGAIN.
Storm man... geesus. Stop grabbing my wallet and smacking my face with it. |

I also don't feel like we get a lot of stabilization with the Storm figure pricing. This frustrates me because I like to have an idea of what I will be paying for figures in the future. The problem is you have Ryu at $54, M. Bison at $64, and Zangief at $94. It seems that pricing is all over.

ha..funny thing is...that's one of the lines i've never got around to snapping pics of yet. Though i did make a short, SHORT stop motion with M.bison.
i have Ryu, Ken, Bison, Hot Ryu, and though Zangief is available to order, i was hoping to pick him up Friday at NYCC. BearJ...are you on IG? |

Make that 5 figures and 5 figures with unique sculpts and tooling at that. Not just the same figure repainted with a different head and accessories.

Storm Collectibles releases good figures, but if they're focusing on fighting why don't they try to acquire other licenses aside from Mortal Kombat and street fighter? Maybe injustice 2?
