SOTA Street Fighter Round 3 "Guile" and "Balrog"

I'm not going to go as over the top with reviews as I have done in the past, but I will still provide plenty of pictures and information.



Carded(the resolution on my cam was messed up, and by the time I fixed it, I already cracked em open)

Guile and Balrog cost be about 30$ together, and were purchased on eBay.

Guile























Paint Application/Sculpt: SOTA did a great job with Guile, as he looks just like... Guile. Pictured in his green camouflage pants and army green tank top, Guile looks as he did in the Street Fighter game series. SOTA captured every little detail with the character, his hair, his American flag tattoos(on both arms), even his dog tags. The camo pants look exceptionally good. 10/10

Accessories: Guile comes with every accessory you could want for him. Included is an alternate head, eventhough it kind of sucks, and three alternate hands(including a "thumbs up", one holding a comb, and a saluting hand)... he also comes with "sonic boom" attachments that clip on to his closed fist hands. SOTA also included his Dog Tags, if you want to count those. 10/10

Articulation: This figure is not unike any of the others in the set, as he is loaded with points of articulation, featuring 25 from head to toe. 10/10

Overall: Out of the seven Street Fighter figures I own as of now(Guile, Ken, Cammy, Balrog, Blanka, Vega, T-Hawk), Guile is easily my favorite. I feel he looks truest to his video game counterpart, and eventhough the alternate "screaming" head stinks, the figure is nearly flawless. I think it is impossible to improve upon this effort. 10/10

Balrog

















Paint Application/Sculpt: I feel KAM already did a nice job reviewing Balrog, so I will be brief. Balrog is pictured in his "player one" blue attire, with red boxing gloves. No complaints on the paint, or the sculpting. 10/10

Accessories: Not much SOTA could have done here, but they played it off well. The extra head is nice, and the "taped" hands were also a good bonus for a character not really warranting any accessories. 10/10

Articulation: Eventhough Balrog is one of the bigger figures, he loses no articulation, featuring 23 points with his boxing gloves on, and 25 with the taped hands. 10/10

Overall: I have always had a special attachment to the Balrog character, since he is essentially Mike Tyson. As far as action figures go, this may be as close as we get to a Mike figure... so I'll take it. 10/10



A little size comparison... from huge(t-hawk)... to really small(cammy)
