Iconiq Studios + TBLeague : Street Fighter 1/6 Figure

[BrooklynWolf X]

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

Agreed 100%. One of the things with designs from SFA and SF4/5 is they make characters like Ryu, Ken look bloated and stumpy. To exacerbate the ‘stumpy’ feeling, they nerf Ryu’s crouching forward/medium kick where you have to literally be IN the opponent for the move to hit…

That being said…it’s still nice to own a 1/6 Ryu. And you at least have to hand it to Iconiq, they nailed the orc-y design.

In both my Ryu review and “top 10 most wanted figures of fighting game characters” video, id mentioned that I’d love a SF3 and or CvS2 (kinu nishimura’s GODLIKE DESIGNS) Ryu figure. The big hands and feet are still within reason.

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

They are big, but not on the level of any character from SF5 lol. IMO the size of their hands and feet make the overall aesthetic/silhouette look cool and dangerous.

Like..wtf is this??

Bro can’t even pick his nose.


This is way more reasonable.

Fixed the broken hair piece and it's no longer noticeable after glueing it back on. This Cammy figure has really geown on me.

There things about the Play Toys figures that I'm liking better than the Starman figures the more I mess with them both. The PT body can hold positions much better than the SM. The paint apps on the body of the PT Cammy are fantastic. The sculpted hair and paint apps on the headsculpt are much better to me on the PT as well.

The feet are the most annoying thing by far on this figure, that for the life of me, I can't understand why they would make that mistake twice. I also don't really care for the sculpted plastic hat.

 

[guyver1]

Worth the hype …gorgeous figure



Love her eyes and the option to be movable

Painted the legs on Cammy using the SF6 model for reference. Just have to do the same with Alpha Cammy now

 

[MadnessEmbodied]

Alpha Cammy, my favorite flight attendant lmao. Repainted the hat as the original color was a bit too light. Not perfect, but much better than before. Gotta swap out the crappy SWToys boots later

Another experiment: Eye Transplants. Play Toy Cammy has hazel-ish eyes, so here's the PT sculpt with Blue eyes from a Star Man sculpt

How easy is to do this surgery without damaging her? Any guide by chance ?

Quite easy, and yes. All you need is some hot water and tweezers.

Heat up some hot water, remove the head sculpt, hold it upside down and pour the water inside the head hollow. After 30 seconds to 1 minute, dump out the water and use tweezers to pull out the eye stems from the inside. The hot water allows the face to relax and the eyes to pop out with minimal effort. Also, dry out the interior of the sculpt as you won't need to use water again.

Once the eyes are removed, I recommend cutting the stems at the back of the eyes down a little bit. If the stems are too long (like they are by default) then the eyes will move out of place whenever they're bumped by the neck connector inside the sculpt, which is quite annoying. You want enough slack for them to still be grippable with tweezers, but not so much they get bumped by the connector whenever attaching the head to the body.

Lastly, use the tweezers to guide the eyes back into the sockets from the inside and Voila! This was the exact process I used to swap the eyes from the StarMan Sculpt to the PlayToy Sculpt.

Anyone know the turnaround time for direct orders from Iconiq to ship once they've sent the final invoice? Going on a month since I received and paid final invoice for Akuma and haven't heard anything since. WTF Donald duck?

Can’t speak for Inconiq but I ordered two in-stock figures from Gundamit (TB Pink/Yellow Ranger) on the exact same day in mid-January - one took a week, the other a month to arrive.

 

[TexasFi3nd]

Well that sucks. Were they shipped separately?

Iconiq posted at update earlier today. They'll start shipping direct orders for Akuma next week(about time). Now I'm curious to see which shipping carrier Iconiq uses and if the current tariff situation will have any kind of impact on the shipment.

I looked up the tracking, Gundamit shipped separately from China about 5 days apart.

For whatever reason, the Pink Ranger arrived in a week but the Yellow Ranger took almost a month.

Good to hear Iconiq is finally shipping out Akuma, maybe we can finally get some formal announcements about new SF figures that don’t use the Ryu/Ken body.

I’ve lost patience with Iconiq and dabbled with the Star Man Cammy and tempted to get the Play Toy Chun Li.

Thanks for the input, now I have more questions.The left eye on my p020 lacks that "glossy eye luster" for some reason, it is also somewhat loose to adjust. Any recommendations as to how fix it? Top coat? Some kind lf Polish? By the way, how difficult is is possible to remove the leotard to kitbash into another body, ie tbl..

I too have noticed the dull "cloudy" eyes on my PlayToy Cammy sculpts too. That's what initially gave me the idea to swap out the eyes with the Starman ones. I think it's just bad gloss finish on PlayToy's behalf. They do quite well on some things but cut corners/half-arse on others. Look at how many PT Cammy's arrived with broken front bangs.

I got both my Alpha and Regular Cammy outfits loose from China, so I didn't have to go through the trouble of separating them from the original silicone body.

The only real pro of the PlayToy Leotard is that it has the red Triangle, but this is just a cloth adhesive which can be pulled off. I was disappointed in the quality of the Leotard after receiving it in person. It has a hook/latch mechanism near the crotch which can be frustrating to connect depending on which body you're using. The material also has nearly no stretch, so getting it onto another body will be frustrating.

I peeled off the red triangle from the PT outfit and secured it to my Starman Leotard. The triangle is cool, but I could honestly care less about the PT leotard as a whole.

The Starman Leotard wins in every other aspect of convenience and is easier to put onto other bodies as it has a bit of stretch. The crotch has velcro, so it's much easier to deal with. You can see the quality and feel it in the material, and it's a much nicer shade of green.

PT's leotard just feels cheap and looks like diarrhea XD

Has anyone here received their Akuma Iconiq??
I received mine, and my joy was short-lived......

Everything seems new, from the box to the figure itself, including the body.
And yet, the body has a big problem, or rather an arm.

The left arm is a bit floppy, I don't really know how to describe it but it is much less rigid than his right arm which is perfectly rigid (as any Phicen body should be in fact)
And by manipulating it a bit, I quickly realized the problem...

Here is Akuma, as you can see visually he has no problem

Well when I push the arms back, this is what it gives, his right arm (so on the left in the photo) stays straight because I can't go any further, while the other arm which is abnormally flexible I can position it in an abnormal way, which it shouldn't since it bends backwards!
The worst is that I don't even have to force it because it has no resistance, I put it in this position with one finger very easily without forcing it for 1 second (I'm sure I can push it further but I don't want to because the arm is not designed to be bent in this direction)

Look at what it looks like up close (once again I didn't force it at all, the arm is so flexible that you can put it like that directly)

Whereas with the other arm which is normal and rigid it is impossible to bend it like that, it remains straight its right arm and therefore perfectly normal, impossible to go further

Worse still, look if I put it in this pose everything seems normal we don't see anything wrong

Well if I bend the arms (in a totally normal way which should not pose a problem) well I can bend his right arm normally with a good amplitude, and the left arm which has a problem I can't go further than that, it blocks totally and of course I don't intend to force

This is the maximum I can bend

Anyway...
Do you think I can fix this myself?
Because this is clearly a problem of badly positioned skeleton in the arm!

I can't understand how this goes through quality control, they don't test the joints!??
It's a Nightmare...

I have the Ryu and Ken from Iconiq who have the same body, and I've never had this problem.
