Thats acceptable. I guess I am a bit partial to all these "lone-wolf, ronin" type characters; at the same time I feel that there's more to Ryu than say, Ken or potentially any other SF character since Ryu has to battle with himself so that he is not consumed by the Satsui no Hado. Internal struggles like these make him less one-dimensional than what he was initially portrayed as.

Onto the figure, he definitely looks really good but I feel a bit let-down by the "calm" face as even though it has a great resemblance to the game model, there's sth about it that doesnt make it look exactly right (I think the eyes might be too narrow but I could be wrong).

As for extras, I wish we got the bearded Ryu head !
