Pretty cool, this brings back some nice memories of playing Tekken 5.
I don’t think I will buy it though; I'm not a huge fan of the rubber torso pieces they're using. The seamless look is impressive, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t trust the material and don’t see the point in a seamless torso when literally every other joint is segmented. |

Same. I don't trust that rubber. Had too many figures with rubber just flat out disintegrate in my hands after a few years.

Well most of Storm's output isnt even 5 years old at this point. Theres still the possibility that the rubber overlay parts could degrade. Having own a bunch myself, hope that isn't the case lol.
Only real issue with Storm rubber I recall is with their 1/6 Tyson earlier on. And in that instance sounded like a bad batch was used cause the rubber was breaking down pretty quick. Last edited by deecee4; 12-06-2021 at 05:56 PM.. |

I don't. They always have been on my radar, but I never bought one. I'm playing with the thought of getting this one though, I looked up the Death Adder figure you mentioned and that looks pretty nice in-hand. Maybe I should just give it a chance and see how I like this sort of torso design.
Where are you guys buying these? My local import retailers are getting Storm stuff from time to time but not always. I've seen that Storm sells their figures directly on their homepage, did anyone order from there before? |

I get mine from bbts and the occasional ebay auction.The wrestling figures they've done I've gotten from ringside collectibles.
I've noticed Storm figures tend to be a lot more on sites like amiami and hlj but I don't know why. |

I know people want everything to last forever but if I get 5+ years out of these things I think that's pretty good overall. Quote:

You might get your figure sooner but I've basically read that they don't send you a tracking number. The box just might show up one day. I don't like that lack of paper trail so I don't go with them. |

I have Both Chun-Lis, Bison, Jin, Kazuya, Shao Kahn, and Noob. So far no issues so hopefully they maintain that.
Seeing some of my older Hot Toys disintegrate to the touch (like the pre-Infinity War Black Widows) really scares me a bit about this stuff. |

I have ordered a LOT from Storm directly and always received my order but they don't send tracking and they don't answer their Customer Service emails... its also $30 international shipping ordering through them. I did get a free Street Fighter Ryu, Ken, and Guile out of them once due to their incompetence... but that probably evens out with the amount I have spent on international shipping.

Good for you! Their customer service is notoriously non-existant lol. Been trying to get a replacement part for a figure since October, showing pics & receipt from the etailer but nothing. At this point probably not even worth the effort to try another followup.
