But when i saw them getting the Tekken 7 license, i knew i had to get those. The first character wasnt too much of my liking tough: Heihachi Mishima, but i was extremelly hyped to get his husbando son, Kazuya.
I few weeks ago tough, in a store with many of Strom figures i saw Heihachi…. i wasnt planing on getting him but i didnt wanted to regret it later since the price wasnt too far from a Figuarts.
This is my first Storm Collectible figure and i must say i am EXXXXXXTTTRREEEMELLY happy and pleased with it, the quality overall was a huge surprise.
First of all, he cant face Rashid or any other Street Fighter Figuarts since he is much bigger. Something i always hated was the tiny little scale of the Figmas and Figuarts and gladlly, Storm Collectibles give to theyr figures a much bigger scanel. He is big enough to have a strong presence on the shelve yet he is not as big as a Play Arts Kai soo he can fit on any small place.
The quality of the sculpt and material is pure crazynes!!! Each wrinkle on his forehead or around his eyes are sculpted in the same place shown on the CG model, every vein on his chest and arm, every scanr or mark and the paint job is uncanny. Theres not a single splotch or stain or heavy washing…. the skin color on his head is disturbinglly realisctic.
His costume is incrediblly realistic as well, looks ancient and whore off, dirty and made with a pretty thick and rough material. Yet his entire costume is made with pretty soft and flexible plastic that allows it to be removed. He can be bare chested!!!
Heihachi Mishima is not one of my Tekken husbandos, yet i must say he looks incrediblly sexy shirtless thanks to the amazing sculpted musculature and the soft material of the skin on top of his articulations. His neck, pecs and back are soo squishy…. its almost like a mini Hot Toys…
The only thing that broke the fantasy are the articulations since his torso and arms are visiblly divided but i can forgive it for the incrediblly movibility he have.
Head, chest, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, legs, ankles, knees, even half of his feet are articulated and the clothes or his design dosnt block any of this articulations. He can move freely on any direction soo he is A LOT OF FUN to play with. Just like Rashid, i didnt ran out of poses for him.
He comes with two extra heads, one smiling and one shouting. The smiling head is odd…. i cant remember Heihachi smiling ever, he sure laughs like a maniac but a smile like this is not common and the screaming head is pretty fierce and fit him perfectly. Is trully amazing how every single teeth is sculpted and painted with the ost strict perfection, even his gums and tongue are painted and textured.
The heads can be replaced easy as well as the hands, since the suckets have a lot of room to move around. The open hads and clawed hands looks great, tough he have an extra pair with totally open hands that i didnt find any use for them soo i wasnt able to take photos. The hands are made with soft squichy material, soo they are as realistoc and high quality as Hot Toys.
He also have an electric effect for his first and a winf effect for his arm or leg. Both can be placed pretty easy tough i wish the material was more transluscent.
As a surprise extra, he also have a background printed in cardboard with his stage of Tekken 7. The stage looks very monochrome on the photos, but in real life looks terrific behind him.
He can stand perfectly on his own tough, since he is not Street Fighter, Storm didnt give him a base. This is unfortunate since i cant pose him jumping or kicking but it was pretty obvious from the srart that Tekken was going to get the short end of the deal against Street Fighter.
If i had to complaing about something that would be some of his articulations are a little lose, specially on his legs and i am afraid to broke him, because the inner working of the articulations are extremelly complex and different to any other figure. I hope the material resist extreme posing.
Aside of that tehres nothing, nothing at all to complaing about. This is one amazing solid action figure. Is actually the best action figure of Tekken to date, being better looking than the Play Arts Kai, and he is vastly supperior to Figuarts or Figma as well. Now i regret not getting the Street Fighter figures, i can see now that the price i tough was very high, is actually pretty small compared to the high quality of this.
I am deffinetly going to get anything they release of Tekken, i just HOPE Storm dont leave the license alone and release a good collection for us, Tekken fans, we been waiting for since 1998.
