“Capitalist Apocalypse Nexus points of the 21st century...” I love you, man 😂

The Long Haul legs seem proportionate, but the split of silver and green look so off

I remember getting this and United Prime off eBay for a birthday gift to myself, and today I sold both the figure and trailer. I’ll miss it but the times were fun, especially adding Reprolabels to it.

Praying we see a Darkstalkers spinoff of this line

AT LAST, a review that doesn't have me rushing out to the store for a figure...Because she's already on my desk. Would recommend M.Bison if you come across one for being not only a heavy figure for the price tag, but also the articulated cape accessory.

*Button mashes to comment jdhdhdjisjdbdhfhf* ... Did it work? XD I'm not even a Street Fighter nut, but even I like the look of this figure \^^/

Alot of Dong jokes here in this, er review

VoD commentary on the English discussion; I always go by the phrase that English is three languages stood on each other's shoulders, hiding in a trench-coat...and that coat is lined with dubiously acquired goods from many other languages. And lemme tell you; even English regional variants have to be translated, depending where in the country you are XD I live and work in Yorkshire, but at work (where we serve food), we get requested names or product combos that originate from the county next door that we don't have/say/do over here XD While we're on it; teacake, bread cake, bread roll and barm all mean the same thing and we British get INCENSED if you spout the wrong phrase in the wrong area...It's on the level of how to make a cup of tea or cream or jam first on a scone (and scone itself splits the nation on pronunciation). And recently I was in on a stream of one of the Twitchers I follow; she ended up dedicating the last 20 minutes to discussing what a 'turn-over' refers to in food, because that was a topic that came up in the Jackbox game we were playing. Things were hotly debated; calzones, Cornish Pasties, pies, you name it...Then it was also a discussion of whether or not we can consider pizza to be an open-sandwich...And then basically saying how similar enclosed foods like turn-overs and dumplings are/not, so I threw in my portmanteau grenade in the chat by saying 'dump-overs'...Nearly all hell broke lose XD

Legendary legs in toy form!

Hello Vangelus do you have a business email?

i've really been enjoying these streams! i was only a single year old in '03 & only became a transformers fan about 14 years later so it's been really fun to take a peak at this era.

I have the STORM COLLECTIBLES one. I can't find a comparison to save my life. is this one an improvement over that one or not?

what is the background looks amazing

Who's Kinglaffo again

So that's what the face of Decocookie on youtube looks like

Looking at this and sincerely hoping they aren't planning any Darkstalkers releases. I'm not sure my wallet can handle it!

Nonnef is not a legit dude, they decided to stop shipping to many countries, I know it's hard but the other companies do it so it's not impossible

It's a shame that this Optimus prime figure doesn't have a face plate

steret figther

Jada Toys is just nuts to watch as they continue to learn and improve with each figure. Even now, they've moved factories, and the versions of wave 1 being produced from it have cleaner, more crisp face paint and smoother joints. In a little over a year, they're now set to complete their Street Fighter 2 line, with a promise to tackle other, equally classic games in the series. Juhn, pretty much the face of the company now, stated that he has no interest in the modern games and will continue to focus on various titles, rather than complete a roster like they've been doing with 2. Exciting stuff! Equally exciting is seeing your reviews again after disappearing for a while! As someone who has been watching your stuff since the early Figuarts days, I was just finishing up your Black Renewal review when I saw this pop up as well. One thing I've always appreciated about your work is how great the quality was, that even a decade later it's all still comparable. That, and your description of joints and how that translates to range of motion, among other qualities, still puts you a step above nearly everyone else reviewing today.

Its very nice!

MY WIFE!

2:12 how dare you

Hi Vangelus, awesome stream! Voder here, but one day I'll catch it live. Was wondering if the intro/outro music can be listened to somewhere, I really like it. Can't wait for the next one, take it easy!

I wonder how this scales with the lightning collection figure. Be cool if she was just slightly shorter to account for the helmet. It'd make a cool display

This makes me wonder how well those "Game Dimensions" Tekken figures are compared to these.

So, I've been following Vangelus' videos for quite a few years now, even though I'm not much of a collector (between the lack of disposable income and not having a display area that my cats won't leap up to chew on) outside of a few Gunpla and model kit figures that I bought more for the tactile dopamine hit that comes with assembling them than for pose and display purposes. That being said, this is one of those rare toys I see on Vangelus' show that makes me think, "Ooh, I *want that!*"

i’ve got a thing for insectoid bipeds

Funny, I just got her yesterday. Did you also pick yours up from Walmart? One of mine had a whole USFII standee display with Chun-Li, Ken, Fei Long, and M. Bison available. Sadly with TFCon around the corner I could only get one and haven’t found time to open her just yet, but this review has me very excited to do so.

I appreciate that you are humble enough to admit that you're not the strongest woman in the world. THAT is what makes you strong.

Street Fighter 6 is absolutely a good one. I finally have the motivation to put more work in and get okay at the game!

Very brave of you to display Chun Li's rapid kick without some kind of Evo Moment #37 reference. Kudos! I'm kinda stunned by the engineering on this one. And it's the *worst* of the wave because it doesn't have butterfly joints?! Wild! (Provided, her poofy shoulders make those problematic.)

WILL YOU HERE COMES TO BE A NEW CHALLENGER..... AT THAT???

That Chun-Li was a welcome surprise when I got one in hand. I've since found and purchased both Ken and Fei Long, but I haven't seen Ryu anywhere at Canadian retail (I think A3U had him very early on but I missed out) so I'm still on the hunt. I'm decidedly not great at fighting games, but I really enjoyed the Street Fighter-centric anime movies my local rental place had on VHS back in the day, so I've always loved the characters, and this seems a great way to get them on shelves. Here's hoping Jada continues for a while with this

SF6 is absolutely a good one.
