Ken

"Attack me if you dare. I will crush you."













Size: Roughly 6" Tall
Accessories: Two alternate hands, An Alternate head, a Fireball
Packaging: Basic Clamshell

Paint Application: I may first start by saying that if you are going to do Video Game action figures, SOTA broke the mold on the way to do it. Street Fighter was a game of color. Bright vibrant colors filled the game, with each character having a unique, colorful outfit. Ken is depicted here in his main recognizable Red Karate suit. The colors are so bright they are blinding. I am shocked by the quality of colors on these, they really stand out amongst any other action figures you may own~ 10/10

Accessories: With Street Fighter, there isn't much in terms of what you can do with accessories, but SOTA did the right thing by basically throwing in a bunch of interchangable parts. The fireball is a nice touch, but the traditionalist in me thinks it should be blue~ 8/10

Articulation: This is where these figures strive. Ken features a whopping 27 points of articulation, and they aren't unsightly at all, as I feel they generally blend in with the figure. While I am not one who plays around with his figures, if you're a person who displays these, you will enjoy them just as much as someone who chooses to play with them~ 10/10

Overall: I was really pleased with this figure upon opening it. The colors stand out well, the alternate parts allow for various different poses, and I feel it stays true to the classic design of the character. SOTA did Street Fighter a lot of justice with these~ 9.5/10

Blanka

"Seeing you in action is a joke."











Size: Roughly 7" Tall
Accessories: Two alternate hands, An Alternate head, A Watermelon slice, A Pineapple, a Skull
Packaging: Basic Clamshell

Paint Application: Blanka isn't as impressive color wise as Ken is. I remember Blanka being a little lighter green, but the color scheme works for what it is. The hair really stands out on the green body.8.5/10

Accessories: Blanka's accessories creep me out quite frankly. Like Ken, he has the alternate hands and head, but he also comes with a skull(?), a slice of watermelon(!), and a pineapple(!?). The added accessories don't take anything away from the figure, but they are still pretty creepy.10/10

Articulation: Articulation is the one common thing with this series. Blanka is as loaded as Ken with 25 points, and can be posed into basically whatever position you want to pose him in.10/10

Overall: While I think this figure has some flaws, and think it is a bit too big(should be hunched over more), and the color is a bit off as I mentioned, it is still a very nice, colorful figure, and one of the bright spots of the collection. 9/10

Vega

"Handsome fighters never lose battles."











Size: Roughly 6 1/2" Tall
Accessories: Two alternate hands, An Alternate head, A Rose, Removable Claws
Packaging: Basic Clamshell

Paint Application: Vega appears to be just as accurate paint wise as Ken. No glaring problems, Vega features everything he is known for having, including the tattoo wraping around his torso.10/10

Accessories: As I said with Ken, there is really not much they can give you with these characters, but the rose was a nice touch. He also comes with two other right hands, and an unmasked head. Also, his claws come off as they do in the game.10/10

Articulation: I tallied Vega to be the most heavily articulated figure out of the five that I own. He features 29 points of articulation, and although the heavy foot articulation can be annoying, you can create some great poses with it.10/10

Overall: Vega is pretty much a perfect figure. Not much more a Street Fighter fan could ask for from the character, SOTA captured all of his trademarks and his body type nicely. 10/10

Cammy

"You must enjoy being beat, let me remodel your face one more time."









Size: Roughly 5 1/2" Tall
Accessories: Three alternate hands, alternate head
Packaging: Basic Clamshell

Paint Application: I really have no attachment to the Cammy character as I grew up on the main 12 characters, but for what it is, the Cammy figure is very nice. The paint application is about as accurate as you can get.10/10

Accessories: Nothing more than some extra hands and an alternate head, but they allow for some varying poses.10/10

Articulation: Even a very small figure like Cammy features heavy articulation. Cammy has 27 points, and although she feels a bit delicate, they seem to move around quite well.10/10

Overall: I'm glad I went for the whole set, as Cammy turned out to be one of the nicer figures in the set. As much as I don't know about the character, judging by what I do know, SOTA couldn't have done better at all.10/10

T-Hawk











Size: Roughly 8" Tall
Accessories: Two alternate hands, a Hawk
Packaging: Basic Clamshell

Paint Application: It is ironic that my least favorite character in the series may be my favorite overall figure. The general look of the figure is sharp, really vibrant color, just a nice looking figure all around.10/10

Accessories: Two extra straight hands, and a hawk, nothing big.10/10

Articulation: Even the big boy is loaded with articulation. I counted 25 points. The feet seem to move a bit weird, but he is easy to stand up and post.10/10

Overall: As I said with Cammy, I am glad I went for the set, because eventhough I don't care for the character, the figure is beautifully done. Its a great display piece. The one thing this figure makes you notice, these figures range from huge to tiny. They are scaled well, with T-Hawk standing at a menacing 8", and Cammy standing under six.10/10



Overall Thoughts: This was my first SOTA Street Fighter purchase, and I'm glad I made it. The figures are absolutely stunning. Very colorful, and they stand out a lot. I look forward to getting some more in the near future(I am expecting Guile and Balrog any day now.
