I'm not sure I catch on to what you're saying. Which Street Fighter figures are you talking about? Sota? Those were in a true 6 inch scale, and many of those had varying sizes to better represent their scale to each other in the game.

If you're referring to the NECA ones, that's a different story. Those were in 7 inch scale, with not all that much difference between them. The smallest figure was C.Viper, and even she was nearly 7 inches.

I'm not sure I understand the lack of articulation comment regarding the new figures either. They look plenty articulated to me. I see double jointed elbows and knees, swiveling and hinged wrists, hinged ankles and toe joints with ankle pivot, and what looks to be ball jointed hips, and an ab crunch. While I can see the loin cloth blocking forward kicking action, the pictures in the article surely demonstrate he can throw a hell of a standing side kick.

From what I have read...this figure is supposed to be 6 inches. Now whether or not it's 6 inches like Mezco's line, or the 6 inches we're akin to seeing with Marvel Legends is where I'm curious.

MK2 was probably my second favorite game in the series, (after MK9) so I think these are pretty cool, despite the lack of creativity in character selection and price. I might get these if they come down a bit. If they announce a Reptile, it's an immediate purchase from me...although if the price comes down low enough to warrant the risk, I might just get Scorpion or Sub-Zero here and paint them green myself just so I can finally get a half decent Reptile in a 6 inch scale...
