same on all that. nothing is squeaky, his upper left knee is very tight though.

No squeaks.

My only issue is the left foot has a gap in a neutral stance because of the way they did the feet. It looks like it's just a millimeter off when I compare the pegs so I'm going to boil some water and figure that out.
 
K, thanks. I hope they finally change something about the way they do hips on the larger figures because they're always put together too tightly to comfortably move em.
 
My biceps were stiff, but heat got it going and it's still good almost 24 hours later.

Figure really does move like a dream, although now I think one butterfly is swinging way better than the other.

Like I said, it feels like a general upgrade from their prior stuff.
 
All of the articulation is very smooth on mine. It might be the best articulated figure I own. I’m really looking forward to Sagat as he won’t have much to get in the way as far as clothing goes. That’s the only impediment I’m running into with Ken. I know you can take the gi off, but he looks stupid without it.
 
I'm having some real issues with the tight knee joint on mine. Heat didn't work, cold didn't work. Tried shock oil, helps but still feels "stuck" when fully straightened, very hard to budge now with the shock oil. Which I guess maybe shock oil isn't great for non-ball joints. If anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears. Going to let the shock oil soak in for a day or two and see otherwise wash it out and just accept the tightness.
 
Finally have my Arena Ken- as I expected, he's pretty great. Zero notes. It's cool to see Storm Collectible quality at this scale and price point. Long may this line live.
 
I had to look up the roster*, as I don't recognize Benimaru, and I apparently don't recognize many characters outside of the Fatal Fury inclusions, which should keep the KoF portion of the line cheaper for me, but HOLY CRAP, I AM NO LONGER SAD ABOUT MISSING OUT ON THE IORI YAGAMI FIGMA. C'MON, STORM, DON'T MAKE ME WAIT AS LONG AS YOU'RE ALREADY MAKING ME WAIT FOR THESE FUCKING ACTUAL 6" DARKSTALKERS FIGURES...

I'm not gonna bother with most of the KoF - just too many characters in those games I don't know - but I'd be up for Ryo, Robert, Iori, Shermie, Leona, and the Ikari Warriors.
 
I bought a NeoGeo years ago and attempted to get into the SNK fighters, but never pulled it off. I needed to dive in back in the 90s when I actually had the time and desire to get good at a fighting game.
 
I went through a brief fight stick phase during early 2000s with PS2. Reading about custom built boxes or modifying an off the shelf controller with a better stick and buttons. I ended up with a modestly priced Hori.
 
Hit Box showed up on my feed and I was surprised to see controversy, but also people treating it like it's new. Even as a casual I'm in too deep.

I was looking at Hori. I just want something for the PS5 and PC. I know Sony's dpads are mediocre, but Lord, nothing highlit that for me until FC2.
