Toy Review: SH Figuarts Street Fighter Ryu Action Figure Bandai Tamashii Nations

This S.H. Figuarts RYU Action Figure looks like a good start for a promising line. Many companies have taken on the Street Fighter line before but SH Figuarts is known to deliver highly articulated and beautiful figures so this got me really excited.

Unlike the SH Figuarts Dragonball Z line which has been pretty stingy with power up effects and figure stands, the S.H. Figuarts RYU Action Figure will include a background sheet featuring his stage and a "hadoken" energy effect and it looks great!

The S.H. Figuarts RYU Action Figure comes with the following:

Ryu figure (15cm high)
Optional expression parts (2 types)
Optional hands left and right
Hadoken effect
Effect support part
Background sheet

Release date for this figure is in June 2017 and he will retail for 6480yen (about USD$55)

The SH Figuarts Ryu figure is available for Pre Order on Amazon.com.

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the Figma Guyver I could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch o...

Gigantic Guyver Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 10 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay Packaging for Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection 10 Gigantic Guyver Figure is the same as that of the previous Gigantic Dark Guyver Figure . There are openings on the side of the package so that you can see the accessories more clearly. I guess the only reason for doing that is to tempt collectors more : ) Despite his size, the Gigantic Guyver is super articulated. Joints at the elbows allow for bending more then 90 degrees. The green gravitational boosters on the body are translucent and looks as if they are pulsating with energy. Once again, Max Factory has impressed me with the details on the Gigantic Guyver's face. No paint bleeding of any sort can be seen. All the details on the face are captured. The head can not only tilt downwards as in previous figures. Gigantic Dark Guyver and Gigantic Guyver can both tilt their heads upwards by around 45 degrees, opening up new possibi...

Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure and can still be found on Amazon.com at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing. Looking closely at the S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure , you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape. Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy. A small regret is that the S.H Fig...
