There aren’t that many fighting games that I
like, but I do love Street Fighter. It’s
one of those iconic games that everyone played.
Back in grade school during lunch I would go with my friends to the
local arcade and play some Street Fighter.
I would mostly use Ryu because I loved all his attacks, especially his Hadouken. I really sucked and would lose a lot, but I
just enjoyed hanging out with my friends and watching all the cool battles
between them.
In 2009, NECA released their line of Street
Fighter action figures based off of the popular video game Street Fighter
IV. I was excited for this toy series and
bought the amazing fighting duo of Ryu and Ken.
The toys released in many places such as Toys R Us, but I bought mine
from a local comic shop for around $20 each.
They come packaged in a clamshell so it’s easy to see the complete
figure, allowing mint in box collectors the chance to display them
proudly. The art on the packaging is
also nice, and even includes a character description. Like, did you know, Ken hates spiders? LOL.
The figures are very impressive, they come with
35 points of articulation and an extra pair of hands, allowing collectors to
display them in various poses. The style
the action figures take are from the video game by incorporating a watercolour
effect. Though the only drawback to this
watercolour effect is that paint does run-over, so finding a flawless figure
can take a few tries. Other than that
these figures are amazing and NECA did an excellent job with this line.
