Well, I'm excited. Hope they're not going to go with the bulky body types that they're known for..they need to have lithe bodies like in the cartoon and curious how they're going to do the capes.

They call them 1:12 but I would say they run more in the 1:10 size range... somewhere between ML 6in and Neca 7in... But if they make a new buck for this (hopefully- because they tend to be thick, beefy fighter type bodies now being it's all fighting games) it might come in closer to a 1:12 like their original MK ninja.

Add this to their pile of "Licensing Announcements" that have yet to produce even a grayscale prototype.
That’s the one thing I loathe about Storm Collectibles. They make some good figures, but they also announce this stuff way too early. |

Ideally I'd love all 5 members of the Science Ninja Team/Gatchaman, Berg Katse, and a Galactor trooper (for some hot army-building action), but I know there's no chance of that ever happening. The only line Storm has been consistent with is Mortal Kombat, and that's only because there's a shitload of identical color-swap ninjas that they can use to milk the molds. Lines that require original body sculpts for each character never fare nearly as well. Quote:

I look forward to maybe possibly getting one or two Gatchaman figures in 3 or 4 years' time and then having the line unceremoniously and quietly cancelled without any notice.

I'm still waiting for any progress whatsoever on their Fist of the North Star line (other than the 1/12 Ken prototype they showed off ages ago and nothing since) and there hasn't been a peep about Darkstalkers since the initial announcement a while back. So fucking annoying. |

And not defending them in any way, but their figures are easily some of my favorites out of anything from any company currently being put out (when they ARE actually put out) |

I think their SFV line is done but their SF2 line is still going I think. But yeah they should be a little bit better than grabbing every license and then announcing it.

I feel you on this. It’s really tough to get excited for these announcements when we go so long without any updates, or in some cases we don’t hear anything at all after the initial announcement. Such a weird way to handle their business.
And not defending them in any way, but their figures are easily some of my favorites out of anything from any company currently being put out (when they ARE actually put out) I don't think its as bad as people are making it out to be...Golden Axe was announced sometime in '18 and figures should be hitting soon and last year they announced a Jushin Liger figure and had that available months later. For all we know it could be the license holders that have been the reason for the hold up. |

If these are 1/12 I am all in. I used to watch this show as a Kid.
