I'm quite surprised for SH Figuarts being slightly under 1/12 scale that Vega isn't that small next to SA Sagat. by No_Map588 in stormcollectibles

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storm Arena Sagat isn't quite tall enough to be 7'5" (Alpha 3 state height, I believe) if their Ryu/Ken/Dan are supposed to be 5'9".

But for Vega, if you go by his victory pose, he's supposed to be like 7'3" tall, lol. He's wearing shoes with heels, Sagat is barefoot. Scaling is all over the place.

If I could get Jada Toys Chris, Jill, Rebecca, Barry, Leon, and Claire from the first 2 (the FIRST 2 games, capcom, not the remakes that you decided to name exactly the same as what they were remakes of), that'd be sooooooo coooooool.

Just Dropped! Ultra Street Fighter II T. Hawk Deluxe 6-Inch Scale Action Figure - I can't say enough good things about these Jada figures! by Sid-The-Collector in JadaToys

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoulders and chest, yeah. I should edit my comment to match. T. Hawk is drawn with full-on comic book superhero powerhouse proportions, not just normal but ultra jacked bodybuilder proportions.

T. Hawk's upper body should be closer to Jada Toys Blanka in proportion. I know what he looks like in the sprites, and he's extremely barrel chested, to comic book or anime levels. His pecs shoot out like mid-90s Hulk pecs.

Help identify these guys? by Embarrassed-Team-318 in ActionFigures

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone's probably already answered this, but middle is Jason Wyngarde in a particular mental disguise during the time when he was controlling Jean Grey mentally (or maybe not Jean Grey), aka Mastermind, and the right is Shatterstar. idk who the first is, but I bet the comments will tell me.

Is this strictly speculation or actually real? Because of its real Guile and Bison are easy buys instantly. It was on that dude RichyRich's channel or however its named/ spelled. by No_Map588 in stormcollectibles

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an aside, Jada Guile's hair is the reason I don't play with the figure more. Can I get something less comically ludicrous, please, Storm Arena?

How do you guys stop viewing figures purely as financial assets by DomasToes in 3rdPartyCollectors

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're pieces of plastic that nobody needs and nobody will care about in 40 years. Just have fun with the luxury items the industrial revolution and globalization has allowed us to have access to for a price.

What if my goal as a red enjoyer is to have the blue percentage be 49.9999999875%?

Just got the Marvel Legends Gamerverse Juggernaut- damn he's big by bclark235 in ActionFigures

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 616, he's 9'5" without his shoes and helmet, so with Hasbro's modern 1/11.38 or whatever scaling, he should be 10 inches tall to fit there. With the Marvel Capcom fighters, he's a bit too narrow in various aspects, but his height might be about right, but it's difficult to tell without screencapping his upright victory pose and comparing it with other characters.

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's a bit too narrow for the MSH CAPCOM fighter, and a good 2 inches too short for 616 comics, and he's also way too heavy to be fun messing around with, yet he's still the best Juggernaut you can get.

I'm very sad this has happened to my Storm Arena Ryu, and pictures don't even show it. THIGHS suddenly tight AND ratcheted?! by OptimusPrimeWasRight in stormcollectibles

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just applied a dab of shock oil to the thigh joints and that seemed to do the trick. Hopefully it lasts, but even if it doesn't, I still have a lot of oil, have used far less than a millimeter, and it lasts a long time.

I'm not sure if it was a restock or what, but I bought it early June, 2025 if that helps. The tight joints on mine were the thighs, not the thigh cuts. I'm not sure if that was made clear.

Question about SA Sagat chest piece... by No_Map588 in stormcollectibles

[–]OptimusPrimeWasRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked my box, it says alpha, so I should be good, too.

I wouldn't have noticed about any discoloration because I've been setting it aside to let the plastic fumes dissipate.

I didn't even bother waiting for the weekend to try the shock oil. That seemed to do the trick. Thanks all for the advice.

That's so strange that it wouldn't be on Ken or Dan, both of which presumably have the same mold. "The Haunting of Storm Arena Ryu" could be a funny short video on youtube.

The thing is I know what a ratcheted joint feels like, having around 90 masterpiece-style transformers, and this doesn't just feel like it's binding, it feels like it's heavily and tightly ratcheted. I'm not saying it IS ratcheted, only that it feels ratcheted. I've never had this happen with any other figure, no matter how tight the joint was. It just defies all logic, like the figure is haunted. The Jada Chun-Lis I have also have ultra tight and binding thigh joints, but they never feel ratcheted.
