I have a small request. I recently got the new Sota Zangief, Honda, and Dhalsim. They seem to be slightly taller than they should be compared to the other SF characters. For example Zangief is taller that T. Hawk.
Does anyone own both the original Sota Ryu from Round 1 and the new Revolution Ryu? Is there a difference between the two figures? Is there a height difference? Can anyone provide scale pics of the two side by side?
thanks!

It's tolerable unless you are a real stickler for detail.
T. Hawk is 7'7. Sagat is 7'5. Zangief is 7'0. And yet in the figure Zangief is a bit taller. Not a lot taller, but is somewaht. You really have to bend his legs some and have him lean forward (his natural fighting pose) in order for the heigh error to not stand out.
Honda is ok if you put him in a crouching position. He's only suppose to be 6'1 and yet he'll tower over Balrog (6'6) if you keep the legs straight.
This is why I'm asking the Ryu question. Is the Revolution Ryu taller than the original?

I'm not 100% as I don't have it but from what I've seen I think so, I know my Dan figure is huge.

Can you post a pic of Dan with the old Ryu figure?

I thought the only Revolution figures were Zangief, Mika, Honda, and Dhalsim. I know there's a preview Revolutions Ken, but those are the only ones I've seen. And with Neca making the Street Fighter IV figures, I thought the SOTA line was pretty much over.
Not much help I guess, sorry.

Well, NECA got the rights to SF IV, that does not mean SOTA can't continue their line. SOTA has already made 16/17 SF II characters and a big porition of the Alpha cast. They still have pleanty to do with say SF III if they chose to continue.

Yes, the Revolution figures of Ryu, Ken, and Akuma are all slightly taller than their previous versions. They have new molds that make them a bit buffer looking. they aren't huge and don't tower, but they are about 1/2 - 1 inch taller than the old ones.
I think the Revolution figures kick ass and are a huge improvement over the older series. I was skeptical at first, only buying Ryu, but I loved him so much I bought Ken and Akuma soon after.

I have most of the SOTA Street Fighter 2 figures (I only collected people who were in SSF2Turbo) and out of the Revolutions figures, I just thought E.Honda was far too tall. Zangief seemed ok, especially compared to T. Hawk.
I wasn't exactly impressed with the Revolutions figures. The first time I've EVER had a SOTA thing break. Both one hand of Dhalsim & one hand of Zangief broke off in the socket when I tried switching them to the replacement ones. I didn't use excessive force or anything, in fact I used more on E.Honda which didn't break.
Any pics of these NECA SF IV figs?
