S.H. Figuarts RYU Street Fighter V Action Figure Toy Review

[@bloodpool18]

I think this is perfect for a Marvel vs Capcom display. Especially since Ryu is only like 5'9 and most Marvel guys are like 6'2.

[@c.i.a2847]

bloodpool18 Well except for galatucs cause he can eat a whole planet

[@vadnt203]

He’s 5’1”

[@PpPooPooButt]

​@@vadnt203 no he's not

[@nickfrunzi3000]

I can answer question about why his gi is textured and his pants are not. A lot of martial arts gis are made out of a cotton weave and each one has a particular design, and the pants are usually not made out of the same type of weave as the kimono top. Gi pants usually have the same look as jeans, smooth texture.

[@Dragon969Reviews]

Very true but in the game his pants are textured.

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Jada may be the new toys in town for Street Fighter action figures-and bloody good ones, too-but I must say, this S.H. Figuarts Ryu is brilliant! I most certainly need to add it to my collection! Mister Anthony, thank you for sharing your intellectual wisdom and constructive thoughts. Always informative, instructive, witty, worthwhile, beneficial and entertaining. 👍 Whilst working at hospital, I saw your new Storm Collectibles Fei Long action figure review earlier on my lunch break. And then, advantageous to your channel, the wonderful KZbin algorithm recommended this lovely video. 😁 Bloody hell?! Seven years ago, this! How did I miss it back then? 😅 I am a long-tenured viewer; in fact, [I am] one of your regular viewers and supporters of the channel, and I have been since circa 2011-12. Grazie mille! Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹

[@AnthonysCustoms]

They released a slightly different version recently. I'll review it soon. It's probably too expensive but also probably less expensive than the original one is second hand.

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Oh, good to know! 😬 I am looking forward to that review. 👍

[@ArthitHansHeger]

Getting this tomorrow, I’m so happy my dad finally got it

[@thehunterank8359]

After watching this review I'm going for the sh figuarts one it just looks more anime accurate and perfect for a MvC Display

[@SMEWTHjazz]

He’s perfect for like a clean mvc3 look

[@AlphaProto]

This makes me look forward to Anthony's review of the JADA toys Ryu. I hope they correct all the mistakes the SHF figure made. I like how Anthony stream lined his photos into the outro.

[@CamberRockerCamber]

sold my SOTA set because i thought Capos was for real. after that folded i was praying for shf to release their own. prayers answered. can't wait to get this guy in the mail.

[@CamberRockerCamber]

and the storm ryu is actually spot with the way he looks in sfv.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+VpY22 he's not

[@singgihmulyanto1046]

Thanks for the very helpful review man, looking forward for chun li tomorrow.

[@Novapoid]

I agree with Anthony, neither the SHF or the SC one completely capture Ryu's face (people saying the SC does never actually saw a close-up of SFV Ryu...I want to believe), but imo SHF's Ryu does a much better job at capturing the essence of the character across many entries in the SF saga, not to mention he's much more posable...even in poses both products can achieve, he looks more organic. Having said that, it's a solid 4/5 for me and it can be improved upon future releases...I think SHF Chun Li is even more impressive and I'm looking forward to Anthony's review....though I think he will (rightfully so) mention her face is once again not capturing SFV's aesthetic but a more generic one.

[@mac8782]

I'm getting this figure this month! so excited!

[@dustinbergeron7384]

i got mine in the mail today and I love it!!!!!!!! I hope they make a M. Bison and a Ken soon

[@mr_bropo]

low key looks like SSB4 Ryu

[@AnthonysCustoms]

true

[@raidenkeify]

Mr. Bropo right???

[@mr_bropo]

raidenkeify really want that figure

[@mr_bropo]

AnthonysCustoms Yeah, great review as always, so in depth, pointing out the good and bad.

[@dadadman]

i think the storm collectibles is much more accurate to the game. i preordered the storm collectibe at bb toystore but still havent got it

[@SuntoryKick]

Agreed.

[@ziggylarkdust]

storm is just too big that sh ryu next to spider man looked so good we need more figures for a MVC display

[@LBoogieOver]

It should be released by the end of the month...if again BBTS doesn't push the date back. I purchased mine off eBay.

[@ziggylarkdust]

its at hlj right now

[@anddudewaslike]

I pre-ordered this Ryu and the Storm Collectibles Ryu both through ToyzIntheBox and havent gotten mine yet :( But yeah I agree the Storm one is more on model for SFV. This Ryu looks more like the MVC Ryu to me, in terms of his proportions

[@YesThisIsAdrian]

I think Sh figuarts is more accurate to MvC whereas Storm is more accurate to SF

[@Samuntrus]

If I could have the sculpt and paint of the SC with the size and articulation of the SHF, that'd be perfect. I'm really confused as to why the SC line is so large,

[@Brotarlo]

To answer the texture question for the gi. It’s because traditional Japanese gi gave two textures the top is heavily woven creating a more textured look. As for the bottom of the gi the pants are made with a finer thread. Creating the look of a texture top n a smooth pant.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not like that in the game.

[@bombermanp978]

I just bought one.. but the moment I took it out the package the torso detatched.. and I can't put it back on the joint

[@Blackwolfninja89]

Before he gets really expensive I'm gonna pick him up. I''m also waiting for them to release Ken in July

[@romesrepublic]

welp, it's official. Storm collectibles is the definitive street fighter figure line. They look so much better than the figuarts. I can't wait for storm to reveal chun li.

[@eligamerman]

Nice review! Glad SHF is doing a Street Fighter line :)

[@Marc25212]

SFV is on steam if you play on pc.

[@thetoybandit]

My keikogi is like that the jacket is of a textured fabric and the pants are smooth.

[@crazyhorsed.n.a5472]

OK now all sh figure arts needs to do now is make a Kazuya Mishima figure because I really hate the play arts one.

[@raidenkeify]

CrazyhorseD.N.A dude we just need tekken figures

[@crazyhorsed.n.a5472]

+raidenkeify yup

[@cdogcdog4814]

AnthonysCustoms Does it say Street Fighter 5 on the packaging or something? Bandai said this was modeled after Street Fighter 3. And Street Fighter 5 is the Storm Collectibles version. I'm not saying your wrong by any means I'm just trying to figure if it's officially SF5 figure or not. It wasn't supposed to be, and I think it looks like SF3 just fine. What do you think?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+Cdog Cdog it's right on the package in the beginning of the video and on their promotional images...and rashid is only in sfv and cammy is that sfv design.

[@davidberry2620]

I've seen uglier knee designs *cough revoltech lol

[@graefx]

The more I look at him, I think I wish his arms were a little thicker, more so than the chest. Either way, thanks for the side by side comparisons, even with the obvious height differences, its hard to get a feel for how much mass a figure has compared to another and how the proportions compare to other lines. I think a prefer the DBZ and more domestic style bicep/shoulder swivel instead of the elbow or in the shoulder hinge.

[@JuanTopoFortress]

i feel like this ryu, more than a street fighter in particular fits more in to the smash bros line

[@DekaAvalanche]

the ball pegs on both arms of my figure is super tight even if I use wd40. any advice to make it loose without breaking it?

[@polfino]

Hey Anthony, please do a Revoltech Venom review! I know lots of people are looking forward to that figure a lot. I will do one myself, waiting for my preorder to arrive!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+polfino. No plans to

[@tgonzalez1983]

Good review and thumbs up for me but i like the storm collectables version way better.. Maybe its because i havent seen this one in hand idk.. The gritty battle worn Ryu is my favorite other than how he holds the hadoken.. I hope storm makes a Chun Li.. I dont mind the scale difference..

[@markstewart1852]

Does anybody know if the whole character roster is coming out?

[@blipblop9094]

he looks like lyoto machida cosplaying ryu. lol i kinda like it.

[@aubrieefang9005]

Why cant they make a Jin Kazama one to?

[@theCHAMBA]

already made my decision and I'm very happy with the choice Solid review

[@YoungIceMgk]

Nice review man, I sold my play arts kai ryu few months ago so i can have money to buy this lol..cant wait to get this and chun li

[@AnthonysCustoms]

enjoy

[@jhohnerman2223]

Cool figure👍👍 I think I like the bigger SF 5 figure more.

[@alch7539]

Thanks a bunch! After watching this I'm very much inclined to buying one. Really looking forward to your Chun Li review. The only worry I have is that they'll give up halfway and we'll end up with a tattered lineup missing some key figures like Bison and Ken. (I know they're going to release Rashid instead).

[@AnthonysCustoms]

yeah. so weird that rashid is in wave 2 even though hes new and totally unimportant.

[@REItheBLOODEDGE]

AnthonysCustoms he's actually very prominent in the story mode of the game.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

of V, yes. but...he has 30 + years of other people's story to contend with.

[@REItheBLOODEDGE]

AnthonysCustoms I'm assuming Bandai plans are to release the new characters in between major character releases.

[@feijai8016]

My must have of 2017

[@Magikknight76]

Fantastic review Anthony!!! He is a damn solid figure which pissed me off because I only wanted to buy one and I'm in love with STORM lol. I guess I'm eating ramen for another month. BTW Chun Li looked fantastic in the photos and I can't wait for her review...

[@mikemedal]

street fighter 5 is also on steam

[@GTOrphan]

As one of his main iconic poses would be the shoryuken, I really wish he would come with a stand.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's why they sell them separately. More money for them. But they are cheap so, grab a few. Better to not have it worked into the price I'm.

[@SternSupremacy]

I apologize if you covered this in a previous video, but are you getting the SHF Cammy figure?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

sure am. im going to get all of them

[@shantanuc835]

I'd like to make a correction here. The Storm figure is digitally sculpted too. Check out Geng Gi, he's the sculptor. Also his version was amazing but Storm messed up the eyebrows completely

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's not the actual model they used. It was a guide.

[@shantanuc835]

AnthonysCustoms well the prototype displayed at the 2016 sdcc or something was exactly Geng Gi's sculpt. There is quite a difference between the final product and that, mainly the eyes and definition on the muscles. The gi as well was changed a bit. The prototype was perfect :/

[@ricksfigz]

Good review Anthony, we need your reviews for the ss4's Goku and Vegeta Figure-Rise :-)

[@AnthonysCustoms]

soon

[@SalvadorLosAngeles]

I LIKE Street Fighter but I don't LOVE Street Fighter. I'll live with my NECA and SOTA versions and I'll pass on this one. Great video tho!

[@austinsnow9004]

Can you post a picture of him with smash characters?

[@iampoch01]

Hi Anthony, you're not missing anything by not playing SF5.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+Raul Pimentel I know lol

[@angelodilullo7591]

I’m curious to see if the sh figuarts Beast Gohan figure will use the same engineering for the torso and hip movements as this Ryu, as well as what your review of that figure will be like. If you see this comment, would be cool to make the comparison between the Ryu and Beast Gohan if you do review that figure of course. I’m looking forward to getting the Beast Gohan, just nervous about the torso articulation 😅

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I'll be reviewing it. Don't think I'll compare it to this one though. They're pretty unrelated.

[@angelodilullo7591]

@@AnthonysCustoms fair enough. I just thought that with the Ryu and Beast Gohan both having soft plastic for the gi that it would make for a good comparison, but you’d know more about that than me. I’m eager to see your review!

[@angelodilullo7591]

@@AnthonysCustoms thanks for the reply as well btw 😂

[@TMIScott]

Hey Anthony, are you aware of any Ryu figures that are more looking like Ryu from things like Street Fighter Alpha? I like the younger, a little thinner look to Ryu vs. this new look and him and SF4.

[@FireBomberBassist]

It's already out? Holy balls!

[@GodParticleZero]

I wish they would do a retro set of these in the SF2 style

[@fahrurazzi8377]

Huge fan of SFighter. And waiting for this to release in my country. And btw anthony i know you love SFighter, and im glad you really happy about this ryu. Btw im huge fan of you too. Awesome video.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thanks a lot!

[@muisverriet]

Great review once again! I'm liking the figure even though i'm not an SF fan at all.

[@fuse4life]

I really hope that if SH Figuarts ever do make a Fat Buu figure, my only big want left for the Dragon Ball stuff, that they incorporate those new hips to his huge puffy white pants. To me that seems like it could potentially solve the issue of his design being traditionally limiting in terms of potential articulation.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+Justin fingers crossed

[@radyon955]

They just made one you can pre-order it on bigbadtoystore.com

[@AaronScottYT]

I want to get the storm collectibles version but I also want to display him with my smash characters and this one looks a little more in scale, what do you recommend?

[@JBTMR]

Get the sh figuarts one it has better scale with the smash characters

Hi Anthony, Bandai use the same type of body for the Kinnikuman series but also their WWE figuarts (Fighting Body type).

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+ALEXIS HOARAU ...they aren't the same

[@alexishoarau187]

not totally but the (i am maybe wrong) technology (?) used and their presentation site for "figthing body" connect the kinnikuman/WWE & Street Fighter figuarts.

[@Z-Romello]

Finally, there's an Asian looking Ryu figure

[@ryantheanimator1156]

You are going to review the SHF Chunli next, I assume?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

+Ryan Tran yes

[@Justlink200]

He looks like his Smash Bros design.

[@uncrownedking7987]

hi AnthonysCustoms hmmm its not related to your post but please can you help me how to fix my VAH sanji i broke the left peg on the hip!!! i just put some super glue on it! I still want to restore the articulation tnx

[@supermomkey4900]

:( I really wish i could have that figure

[@monkbop8044]

These are tempting, but I prefer Street Fighter 2, that's about it. Besides I have too many toys. Have to stop forcing myself into new collections.

[@Goitsyourbday]

Where'd you buy it The Hong Kong store or big bad toy store?

[@devilmaycryfan7681]

he resembles Street Fighter 3 third strike Ryu to me, I like that but it's not good if you want a Street Fighter 5 Ryu

Does anyone know if the sota Ryu bag fits in scale with the S.H. Figuarts?

[@JBTMR]

It does

[@018975]

11:17 i think it's because that SSJ4 Goku is a model kit, you assemble (if that's the right word) it yourself, while that Ryu is, well, he's a figure....action figure. so it's different. ow, and 1 more think about difference between figure and model kit, figure, like other stuffs, other things, always Made In China, while model kit, is Made In Japan....
