Iconiq Studios + TBLeague : Street Fighter 1/6 Figure

[BrooklynWolf X]

Absolutely amazing video! I love your collection!

Thanks man!

 

[Lord Turel]

It’s finally done!!

Sorry it took so long.



I hope I made you proud Andy!

You don't need to make any of us proud dude. Just you and others enjoying the figure is enough.
Making a licensed figure is a lot harder than a lot of people think, but the end result of seeing people enjoy it makes it worth it, However I am still jealous of that flying kick pose . Plus I enjoy your content regardless of what you are reviewing, seeing stuff that is different, well shot, well researched, well posed, all of these things are super exciting to me as a viewer. I am lurker on forums and videos a lot of the time but you would be very surprised how much content I watch and photos I look at from the community.-

Jealous? If anyone’s jealous, it’s me! I mean you get to work on, play with and probably own these figures a year before anyone of us do

And as always, thanks for watching and subbing!

I love IconiQ's Ryu. I'm having so much fun posing him like everyone else. Can't wait for Ken to finally be revealed this year also. I managed to get my hands on a Tunshi Studio Haohmaru as well. Like the previous poster showed, he's in perfect scale with Ryu!

Hurry up Sideshow and release my Ryu from Pre-order. I can’t wait to have this guy in hand!

Seriously! I initially ordered from both sideshow and Iconiq. But for all future orders I’m ordering from Iconiq or osk. Sideshow receives orders later than most and charge more for shipping

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

POing from SSC will definitely guarantee you excellent customer service...but the price to pay for that is the tax, shipping AND being the last to receive their stock.

Just wanna share some screenshots from my review for those that have no interest in watching it:

Likely later but probably not the last. I ordered from BBTS.

These are amazing @BrooklynWolf X . Well done

I won’t speak ill of BBTS as they’ve been kind to me...

But you’re not wrong

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

These are amazing @bangkok_wolf . Well done

Um...I think you got the wrong wolf

 

[Bleah]

Um...I think you got the wrong wolf

You sure that's not your alias when you're out having fun while in Thailand?

My apologies man. I corrected the tag. I liked your ichigo and Dante video too lol

Thanks man! It really didn’t bother me, I just found it funny

Excellent review.

Just started working on mine; a few things I like, some bits catching me pleasantly by surprise, but also a couple things I wish can be improved.

May have got a second copy if I were rich, which is telling.

Let’s hear your thoughts! I wanna see if they’re in line with mine;

For instance, ankle articulation is limited. I wanna see future Ryu/Ken come with angled from ankles feet.

Do other tbleague figures have that articulation? And I wonder if ryu/Ken (shoto bodies) are too heavy as it is? Both of you guys did great capturing ryu. I’m personally more excited for Ken.

The TBL ankles are standard ball joints and have full range of articulation. BUT, they’re loose. You NEED display stands. It was a balancing act with both Terry and Kyo (worldbox figures I swapped with TBL bodies) and I had to film them fast because they had fallen over a few times .

With Ryu, you had thick cankles (calves blended with ankles LOL), huge feet...i couldn’t angle his feet inward for a standard sidekick. In order to solve that issue, I’d like for IS and TBL to sculpt angled feet, starting from the ankles...if that makes sense.

And finally, Ryu IS heavy and if you display him in an area with heavy foot traffic, a display stand is necessary because if you don’t, he will tip forward and...well, fall forward. But otherwise, he can stand by himself without a stand, which is my preferred way posing my figures.

Thanks Brooklyn Wolf, it makes sense. I bought diorama stands with arms for my two ryu figures and upcoming ken figures. I will admit i don't think im brave enough to display them without a stand. But good to know that its indeed possible

Another long video...

Overall super awesome figure that I had a lot of fun with, leaving a lot of excitement for the future. Main negatives being;
the feet/ankles,
the unimpressive Hadouken effect part (which I stress is just a minor thing at the end of the day, but I no like it!),
and an off expression for an alt.head, though not badly made at all, just a weird one to want to include of all the possibilities.

I do forsee the overall weight making some poses harder to keep looking great as time goes on. Man has trees for legs and gorilla sized arms after all!
