This tomato looks good.

my tactic for m.bison is that leg power slide that he does and just keep doing. I wonder why no one plays street fighter with me anymore

I had the same issue with my Sub-Zero. His arm just fell off as soon as I unboxed him. Luckily I contacted Storm and they were great. They sent me a replacement out. I had a similar issue with Ryu. One of his hands wouldn't stay on. They also sent me a replacement arm for him too. It wasn't the socket that was the issue, it was the ball on the joint.

Anthony, these small toy companies just don't have the budget or resources to make quality action figures like a Hasbro or Mattel. Their sculpting and paint work is definitely leaps and bounds above the larger toy companies, but the QC issues overshadows everything I just said. I also understand the higher price point for these action figures too, because of the companies being so minuscule. It is very frustrating for all of us collectors, because we spend so much money on our hobby. I completely agree that we deserve a quality product.

AnthonysCustoms Thanks for being so comprehensive with your reviews man. It is necessary for our hobby!

I bought this figure last night I really did not notice any of the issues but maybe thats because I love it so much lol I will have to check now

I got this one and later got the newer one in black and gold. They stand on shelves on both sides of my living room. I call them Bison East and Bison West. 😜

Just got mine. My biggest complaint is the paint, I don't like the way the black has pooled in some areas. And his legs look off. Love the Ryu I got, this one is just okay. I'm looking forward to the other figures in this line, so I hope they fix up the QC issues. As always, great review!

Mafex, Neca Toys, Mcfarlane Toys, Play Arts Kai, have all had a history of QC issues.

this info was very helpful my dude...I appreciate how you went into great detail about this cause I am really trying to decide if I want to purchase storm collectables or SH...I'm still leaning towards Storm.

Very interesting review, Anthony. The rumor about why the shoulder peg is cracked is kind of fascinating to me (the whole cost-cutting thing sounds plausible), and it is indeed a big deal if it's the case moving forward. If it's not and it's just a mistake, it's still quite a huge one if it also happened with previous releases: most of us buy "action figures" instead of statues while fully knowing they won't ever look "as good" or "expensive" at first sight, but because we love the fact that you can pose them in different ways and recreate stuff you liked from the franchise it's based upon, not to mention having tons of characters interacting instead of a couple of big ones in different sizes. Having a figure with either clunky articulation (unless the design is already too clunky) or joints that are prone to break because of bad decisions is imo a deal breaker. Having said that, trust me when I tell you no matter the amount of good arguments you present here, some ppl will convince themselves you're exaggerating and that their purchase was a great one. Despite all its issues, you seem to like the line so I hope they get better in the future for the sake of your collection.

Just got him in the mail. Amazing figure. Cant wait for chun li. Great review

phew! Thanks for info about the shoulders. Joint quality is a huge deal for me. Especially when it comes to regular friction joints. For 75 bucks this should not be a problem. Hopefully they change the type of plastic before they release the big Russian dude and Chun Li.

He looks so dope with folded arms!

Hope Figuarts does one

nice tht ur doing size comparison. again inches in height is only 1 aspect. bulk, witdth, paint all tht is helpful in size comparison

nice to see the comparison with marvel legends, great review man

Holy crap! the storm toy company is beginning to be as controversial as mafex! Damn!

Thanks for the review, I'm going to get them all from each company

I've learned form my collecting years that u rarely get a figure thats perfect. If its not one thing its another.

That figure looks incredible. Would love if the sh figuarts dbz range was as big as these

maybe have the sholdur pieces be a little softer to avoid cracks. penny for your thoughts

Hey! You mentioned the rumor, cool. To me, looking at it so close--thanks for that btw--wouldn't the socket crack from inside to out rather than the way it is if it cracked due to putting in the ball? It's not acceptable, but that could definitely be intentional. Makes sense if they produced every piece and then realized there was a problem when putting it together. Factory might have even suggested it. Cost would be rather huge, could hurt a company getting off it's feet. You just hope they learn either way (actual break.intentional) and move forward with better knowledge. Thanks, man.

I have the same problem with my bison on the shoulders too.

Great figure, bummer about the QC issues though. Where did you see the rumors about PCS doing street fighter figures?

You are totally right, my MK ninjas have stress marks and that's bullshit for $50 action figures.

To be honest, I don't pose my figures all too much, I just pose em once and keep them like that so I'll pick up this figure even after knowing these QC issues. I think the figure looks great and would be nice across my desk from the Storm Collectibles Ryu.

my spider man has really loose hips as well and he went from package to shelf

I feel like the crack was intentional. To me it doesn't look like an accident. And great review like always.

very informative...as always..

Anthony! Do you still do customs for people? If so, when the storm collectables Alex Figure comes out would you be able to make a SFIII 3rd Strike version if I send it to you? I'll send you a Resaurus Alex figure also to use some pieces from it, like the overalls and hair.

YES!!!

Fantastic review as always.

not trying to criticize, but may I ask, why is it impractical to compare figures. Just wondering. great review as usual

It's fucking nuts that you seem to like the figure despite being able to say out loud that they broke it on purpose. On the other hand, I guess it's like a testament to how nice the figures are paint and sculpt-wise. I have 2P Ryu and definitely plan on buying Dictator and the rest even though that shoulder issue is unacceptable. If they shore up these QC issues this is going to be one of my favorite lines.

Now I'm a little worried about the Zangief I pre-ordered.... Hmmm.

Why does that say M Bison if that's a figure of Vega?

I just paid $57 for this bison, hopefully I dont regret it...

Any tips on how to "carefully" change the skirt? 🤔

when I went on to Facebook I saw storm collectibles making Noob Saibot

What's up with the vega why dose it say that

Are the Mortal Kombat figures starting to fall apart too? I had a Sub-Zero on pre-order but should I cancel that if those joints are just going to break? :(

nice review, by the way are you going to get the revoltech amazing yamaguchi venom?

Hey Anthony,My mbison wrist peg broke and i was wondering if you have any extra or can u make me a wrist peg for that specific figure. If you can how much would your charge or if you have any extra how much would you charge? The figure is nothing if the wrist peg is broken. Please help Anthony!!!

Do they have a retro ken?

Storm is too comfortable shipping products with QC issues. They put out a Mike Tyson piece that was a total disaster, scared my money away

will you get the storm collectibles noob saibot? I'd like to get it, but I always watch your reviews before I buy something. great video btw

Just bought my Bison and Ryu this past week. Love both the figures but they aren't without problems. I have the same right bicep issue with Bison. Also his bottom ball socket is extremely loose and floppy. Did Storm agree to send you a new arm or bicep?

sweet

can it do the psycho-crusher pose?

neutral face looks more like sagat

Where can I buy that Awesome Storm Collectibles M. Bison?

I hv one question can he do psycho crusher stance with his arms

jerry macaluso is doing a new line for streetfighter? for real?

Great review Anthony!!! I love this line. I really hope Storm gets their shit together...

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

ok

Llo si de mexico

y la capa

I hope they do a black hair Bison in the future, the best one is from Sota.

How do we get our own custom designed figures?

shartimus prime is better

His hair needs to be black.

Storm is known for QC issues

I'm disappointed in this line sold of Scorpion and SubZero...............

18 minutos y no mostraste nada de la figura

I was sus about this line from the beginning, it had that too good to be true vibe.
