Another Ryu?!
Come on third parties.. make something new! Blanka.. Dhalsim.. Ibuki.. Honda!


What’s crazy is someone over at Nodtoys thought this Ryu is a ‘good’ alternative for those that missed out on iconiq’s SF5 Ryu.

that person looked at that sculpt and thought “yup. Thats the one. Now put it up for PO!”
 
It could be not bad if the HS were better.
I still haven't found the Ultimate Ryu, the Iconiq is based on SFV which is one of the worst looking ryu (after the 4).
It's too Fat, misshapen, with huge hands and feets, it look like an orc, in short it's ugly.

I'm still waiting for a real Ryu, the one from SF2 or why not an Alpha/Capcom VS SNK/SF3 version etc... in those games Ryu was still normal and not deformed like in 4 which was the beginning of the ugliness

either that, or Nodtoys is actually giving more slap to those who missed the iconiq Ryu.
"You missed that awesome Ryu?? hahahaha! Now take this.. we are pouring more salt to your wound!"

I know where you're coming from, but there's so much variation and most of it is the jacked/roided style, even as far back as art in SFII Turbo. I would love a an Akiman (not roided look) or Kinu Nishimura line though (It's not like they haven't made static figures from her designs in the past!)

But V is awesome, especially the higher res character portraits. I will reject most (not all...) slander on it.

I truly despise how giant the hands and feet are. I get the idea, it makes the actual game more legible in motion. Other games like Tekken or DBZF also have absurdly huge hands and feet. But it is ugly and I hate it every time. This is very much a place where I want less game accuracy in a figure. It's a gameplay convention, not a character design choice
