Kids Logic 1/6 Street Fighter IV

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, that charge pose is a must. If you can't do that then what's the point of the figure.

That's one of many things I hated about the PAK versions, too husky and no double joints gave it **** pose-ability.

Can't wait to get mine. Needless to say, I can't wait for Ryu.

For being an official distributor for Kids Logic, Angolz sure seems a bit slow in getting these. Looking at Facebook, even Kids Logic themselves don't seem interested in this release

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Are these out now?!

Where could one get them in europe?

this figure looks great glad they made it.

I couldn't get over the leg falling off t the bottom of his pants, and those god awful doughnut hole arms! The sculpt is very questionable as well. Both of them. But all the same I do have one.....

I got desperate and emailed angolz.
they have no idea when their stock will be in . apparently this is one of the only ones out in the free world :}

 

[Lawrence]

Thanks for that info. My pre order is there, & it's good to know something about what's happening, even if that something is them not knowing anything

Yeah, very strange that Angolz and Kids Logic are ignoring the hell out of this. Despite the few flaws it's one hell of a figure. I really hope they get on with releasing additional characters.

Finally put this guy in my display case, but not after posing and taking a ton more pics. I hope everyone who wants this can acquire one.

Where you get the base in the second pic ? also where did you order? How much was shipping.

I have a bit of a background in scale modeling as a hobby (Gundam, etc.). So, I basically had half the materials already except for the stone sections. I got four different size bricks from the local hardware stores lawn and garden center for under $5! The grass I already had from a previous project; got that at a local hobby/train store. Woodland Scenic brand tall harvest grass. I cut some tufts of the grass, applied it in sections to some scotch tape and put it in between the bricks. Easiest diorama ever. Kinda cheating, but you can't always shoot photos of toys outside, and you don't always have time to build entire bases due to time. See the attached progress pic.

I got my figure from a place called Tokyo Otaku Mode. Had to pay up front, but got free shipping. Came to a flat $129usd. They didn't have very many pieces. It was a risk that seemingly paid off. Not sure why, but looks like most of Japan got their shipments in before HK for some reason.



Some final impressions on this release:
Now after having spent some considerable time posing this figure, I'm still intrigued. I think Kid's Logic have done an overall great job with the look and feel of the figure. It's heavy and bulky, which is probably both a blessing and a curse. To Gouki's detriment...he's just a bit too top heavy in certain poses without a stand. It just makes him a bit wobbly. But, oh man, when you do get that pose to stabilize it looks amazing!

Another thing owners will want to be aware of is the neck joint. It's on a weird double ball joint that is almost too short for it to fit into the head properly and this causes it to fall off at certain positions. I think this is something that could be corrected in either a 2.0 release or perhaps when KL releases the other Shoto characters. Additionally, you'll want to be very cautious about posing the upper arms, as they're on a vertical, rotating axis of sorts. It's still ratcheted, but it does need to be rotated correctly since posing against the axis with too much force could potentially break the arm off. It doesn't feel fragile, but it's a concern. I've done it with other toys!

Quick note about packaging and accessories. Very sturdy and secure window box style packaging with magnetic flaps that cover the window. Also very sturdy inner plastic trays. Includes a nice one-sheet instruction page with posing details and instructions on tying the robe. Sandals and beads are included and removable. The wrist-wraps are molded in plastic and also removable. The rope on the hands are part of the sculpt and can't be removed. Oh! The upper part of the gi robe has wire for added articulation!

Short of that, I like this guy between $130-160USD, but paying $300 potentially would not be a good look. HLJ still has this guy in stock for about $190 shipped. It's the only game in town if you want one NOW.

HLJ bro. I bought it last wednesday, and it was shipped yesterday, but I missed it. So my girl ended up picking it up (from the post) after she got off of work.

How did you go Chop Chop ? any photos ? do you like the figure ( I am vicariously living through you as I have no idea when mine will ship )

I will see it tomorrow bro. My girl has it. She facetimed me, and I saw it only in the box. I will have my hands on it tomorrow.

 

[betic1]

thanks mate,
Hope its a beaut

 

[Unclechopchop]

As do I! I told her to tell me what it looked like, but then realized that I wouldn't get a clear answer without her taking it all the way out of the box. That's my job!

 

[Unclechopchop]

Just got it and opened it. It's pretty fuggin sick! It looks way better in person than any pic I've seen (nothin against the guy that posted pics). But that bein said, I did notice something that really concerned me. It's that some of the body and the feet are made of thin rubber (Moreso the feet). The feet are like socks almost and are extremely thin. With that whole "hot toys deterioration thing" that has been goin on, I am pretty skeptical. I'm already contemplating casting the feet in resin just to be proactive. Maybe I'm worrying about nothing, but It's floating in my mind already.
One other thing that kinda annoys me is that the spent a ton of time painting the body and all that, but when it came to painting his teeth, it kinda seems as if they just slapped it on. Its not really too noticeable, but after seein the ht hulk figure (seein what can be done in 1/6 at its best) in person, it kinda made me scratch my head.
Other than these gripes, It's a dream come true to finally have an akuma figure that actually looks spot on! I got mine from hlj.com if anybody was wondering. I absolutely love it, but have some small concerns.

 

[Unclechopchop]

Oh, I almost forgot to says, I think Hot Toys has new competition headin into town! Not to say they're totally on the same level, but this is a huge step in the right direction.
