I need a favor from someone who has these figures...
I'm looking for a comparison pic between a NECA SF fig and a Marvel Legends fig. I'm contemplating getting some SF figures and was wondering if they were in scale.

I've never bought any of the NECA SF figures, but from what I've seen in the stores I'd say they're a good bit beefier than the Marvel Legends figures. Heavy on the musculature. I'd imagine they'd dwarf most ML figures with the exception of guys like Hulk, Abomination, and Hulk Buster Iron Man.
If you can afford it, I'd recommend looking for the SOTA Street Fighter figures as opposed to the NECA ones. For the most part, the SOTA figures are considered to be better than the NECA ones and I think they would scale better with the ML figures. I'll have a NECA C Viper figure soon, so I'll take a shot with her and an ML figure to show you the scale difference.

I appreciate it, but I actually went ahead and bought Ken at TRU last night. The size isn't bad to me compared to MLs, since my plan is to create a custom Mike Haggar from Final Fight (I wanted him to retain his Capcom look, so the SF figs seemed like a no-brainer). So if he's big, it's no big deal. Truth is, I actually really like how Ken looks. I was never a SF fan (I liked it fine, but I preferred Mortal Kombat) but the NECA figures are nice. The SOTA ones I've seen have also looked good to me, but the NECAs are fine for my purposes. Interested to see what C. Viper looks like, though! |

Here's the scale pic. Cammy is the SOTA version (though I don't think there's a NECA Cammy yet; if there is, I hope they don't make her thighs ridiculously huge like they did for Chun-Li).  |

Wow! She's bigger than I thought. Ken is in pretty decent scale with MLs (he's a little bigger, but not quite THAT noticeable). I may have to take a few pictures and see how he looks.
Thanks for the pic man, I'm thinking of picking up Guile as well.

However, I think C Viper will fit in fine with the wrestling figures.

Seems that way. Is she supposed to be so massive in the games? I'm not familiar with her. Anyone with a NECA Guile or Akuma, don't hesitate to PM me.  |
