Storm Collectibles has taken the 1/12th to 1/10th scale action figure genre by the throat and made it their own. There figures are superior to those that have come before, from the likes of Bandai S.H.Figuarts, Super7, Hasbro, Mattel, and Mezco.
This Ultra Street Fighter 2 series has gone from strength to strength, and this T.Hawk is no different. I was glad to finally receive mine, since my direct Storm order for M.Bison never arrived (thanks to my bank for refunding me in full!). Apart from their shit customer service, at least Storm are still making some amazing figures.
See my full video review below over on the Kool Kollectibles YouTube channel. More pics are below too!
This T.Hawk release is stacked with accessories. Love the box that appeared in various stage backgrounds, and how it can be displayed in full or broken. Not sure I'll be using it in my display, but it's nice for photo opps.
As per all USF2 releases, this comes with a swag of swap out headsculpts and hands to cover all his icons looks from the game.
The scale of the figure itself is pretty spot on, based on character descriptions on height and bulk. As shown below, it's a pretty massive figure. The body proportions are fantastic, and shows how Storm have improved over time. The Ryu and Ken figures in this series have not aged well and definitely need an update with the new body types.
Poseability is pretty decent too, and he can get into most of his iconic poses and moves. Storm really have their tech down pat with the plastics and paint applications that come together seamlessly.
Either in dynamic or static poses, this T.Hawk has definite presence on display. For those old fans of the classic arcade game, this will be a welcome addition to the collection! I just wish Storm would release more characters more often!
