Street Fighter figures, Tekken figures, Mega Man figures, Sonic figures, Mario figures. Video Game fans are winning. All pretty affordable when comparing to Strom and SHF.
No one is arguing which is better, their is no comparison. However, when it comes to prices; I prefer the cheaper option myself. Plus Storm takes freaking forever to release figures. @@MrJspecefini
This iteration of Heihachi is from Tekken 4 through 7 with the iconic gi. They also have the game dimensions Kazuya Mishima as well. Come mid December, they'll be releasing the Tekken 8 version of Jin Kazama which will come with swappable hands and a red lightning effect part.
I'm really happy JADA TOYS' SF line exists. I hope it keeps the quality at the level of their first releases in the future and more importantly, I hope collectors realize they CAN ask for that level of final product if they speak with their wallets. This Heihachi is "decent" but I can't shake the feeling Bandai is always doing the bare minimum in their affordable lines so they don't overshadow the SHF ones (which are most of the times good and sometimes low effort). 27$ for this is a bit high for the lack of paintjob and accesories but then again ppl keep buying Marvel Legends and those are even worse.
This figure has so much potential.. Its a blank canvas that needs that extra detail to take it to the next level.. Would Love to see you work on this Anthony and create a Custom just so we can appreciate your talents 👍🏼
Speaking of Soul Caliber, I hope since this line is called "Game Dimensions" they make a SC line since that is Tekken's sister series. I've been hoping for a Nightmare figure (preferably SC4's design) for years and not even Storm Collectibles is providing yet.
Grabbed the Kazuya from this line for the Smash Collection, and yeah the no paint definitely detracts from the figure overall. Ended up adding a bit of paint to the head myself to make it look halfway decent. But, if you need a close to 6 inch scale figure, then it does the job.
Hello. I just got the figure and was also bit skeptical at first... however, I did run on Steam an old game I had for over a decade: Street Fighter x Tekken. I went there for a graphical reference when I'm going to customize the figure a bit. This Heihachi is on point when it comes to design and pose-ability. If you compare it with Jada Toys' Ryu, then they both even match perfectly the given colors, like in the game. For this price point it's a damn good figure actually, especially when you want to mod or customize themselves.
I hate the ab crunch (aesthetically) they used on these and they definitely look cheap for the price point. I expect these will be down to ~$15 before too long.
I hate it when characters in loose fitting clothing have no folds, and creases in their sculpts. It make it looks soft, and unfinished. The folds make it look like real fabric. Thats one thing I like about the SOTA Ryu over the JADA. The same goes for this Heihachi. No notable folds, just a few pinches in the fabric. It just leaves the character looking boring to look at.
@@silentman99 Aside from the joints starting out tight, then super loose. I never had any problems with the fist SOTA releases ( Round 1-4). The sculpts were very nice. SOTA's SF Revolution series was a different story. I've had them hanging on the wall boxed for years. Last year, I said, "What the heck. I think I will open this Dhalsim." Right when I moved the arm, "snap!" WTH! After having, it perfect in box all these years. When I finally decided to open it it snaps on me?! That still hurts. I think the plastic was all PVC. Or the plastic got more brittle as the years went by. SO if you want to fill a spot in your Street Fighter collection with a SOTA figure, avoid the Revolution figures. Even if they have not been opened, they will break on you if you ever do. Also, the Revolution figures have ugly face sculpts.
@@AlphaProto the other part I forgot to mention is there feet & ankles being unable to move for those that have rotation. Now I’ve heard of the revs/ preview line, I own a few. Only akuma & ryu who work perfectly. The others I’ve avoided especially Dan who is the worst of them all.
I like the look of the Game Dimensions line compared to Anime Heroes (excluding Digimon.) I think the proportions and sihloutte look good enough I might try to pick up Heihachi at a reduced price and paint him up.
I played and enjoyed both 2D and 3D fighters back in my day, but if I must pick it's 2D all the way (now I'm old with crap reflexes and cannot play them to my satisfaction anymore 😂😢). I was hoping you'd review these, as I've been on the fence (note: I'm 100% in on the Jada SF line). I've ultimately decided to be very selective about the Tekken figues and only buy characters that I played regularly and love. Solid review as always, thanks again! 👍
Well it wouldn't be surprising if Hasbro lied about the thin materials thing. Like when they said that they would still continue with the Ghost Rider Anniversary stuff but as soon as the haslab didn't happen, they didn't continue with any more GR.
The comparison to Jada is more than fair, but me personally I more compare figures in this price range to Hasbro stuff, and in that regard, I think this is a decent enough start. There are definitely improvements they could implement, though. Here's to hoping the line lasts long enough to see Eddie Gordo! He's my favorite Tekken character. I tend to prefer 2D fighters as well.
I prefer 3D fighting games. I like the slower more methodical style over the sensory overload combos of 2D fighting games. But I completely get the appeal of them, it's just not for me. I've seen these on shelves quite a bit and was never sure about them, but this looks okay. It reminds me of the Anime Heroes line, where paint would help a lot and there are some weird engineering decisions that hold back an otherwise great figure. But the price is a bit higher than the Anime Heroes line and I'm not really seeing why. But I'm glad there's a cheaper Tekken line, and I hope it keeps going and improves.
I have this sitting unopened because I was debating whether to keep it or send it back so this review came at the right time for me lol...I think I'll keep it, may try hitting it with a matte coat or something
i love 3D fighting games tekken was my mortal kombat even though i played and loved MK Tekken AND Dead or alive and the moves list to make combos were just amazing
I would prefer Jada did this line. The figures aren't bad but to me they look like the company rushed to get the out. You can barely tell the difference between the scare under his chest and the rest of his torso. Kazuya looks worse to me.
A line that I will wait until it hits $20 and below and cherry pick a few characters. I'm Tekken casual player so I have no attachment to the characters, I mostly play 2D fighters. It's a shame that they cheaped out on the paint though.
Well I don't know if I ever told ya but I was a big arcade gamer back in the day in Tijuana love 2D fighting games 3d games are cool one of my favorites was bloody roar is faster than Tekken maybe that's why I like it but still I did play Tekken for fun specially Tekken 2 and the best Tekken that is Tekken 3 love the story on them and the fact that they give you cut scenes was impressive back in the day not super fan of it but still I can win some matchets lol. Great review
I like 3D fighting games a lot more than 2D. But Anthony when you forgot to ask what about games like powerstone I miss those type of fighting games I wish they would come back.
More and more I feel like I should have skipped out on Storm and waited for a true 1:12 option. Now just need KoF, Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue. I prefer 2D. More specific I prefer sprite. I count Tekken as 2D vs like Soul Calibur where being able to move on the Z-axis is prioritized
I have been waiting for 1/12 scale Tekken stuff for years, but if they're going to be this level of quality at that price, I'm going to have to be real selective about which ones I buy.
These guys messed up by releasing this line after Jada’s. How are they going to have pinless legs but have pinned shoulder joints? It’s 2023, most companies haven’t had pinned shoulders since the late 90s lol.
I generally like 2-D fighters, but I really liked MK4 when it came out... and I did play some of the tekken titles and virtual fighter, back in the day. So, mostly 2-D, but it kinda depends, I guess. Sik
Bandai gonna Bandai. $30 (on BBTS) for minimal paint and pinned joints. Not awful but frustrating. I'll probably grab one for my friend at some point but I won't be happy about the price.
I like 2d fighting games better, but now by much. I can get down on some Mortal Kombat Tekken and Bloody Roar too but my favorite fighting games are Final Fight Series, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear etc etc.
MCFARLANE, JADA, BANDAI....HASBRO are being totally shamed by their tactic of cheapening out on their already woefully cheap products. Seriously, HASBRO are an embarrassment.
2D for me. I’ve never even played a 3D fighting game. One of my favorites was Clay Fighter, a nice combo of 2D gaming with an excellent 3d feel. I doubt the graphics hold up in 2023, but they were out of this world in 1994.
I know you don’t mind the pins but how do you feel about pins in the shoulder? I notice that in your line rival collectibles that pins aren’t showing in front of the shoulder. I could be wrong on this one if anybody could correct me on this point then I would greatly appreciate, keep up the good work Anthony.
Street Fighter figures, Tekken figures, Mega Man figures, Sonic figures, Mario figures. Video Game fans are winning. All pretty affordable when comparing to Strom and SHF.
Yea but storm quality is literally 5 times better as they should. I have both lines and they shouldn’t even be compared.
No one is arguing which is better, their is no comparison. However, when it comes to prices; I prefer the cheaper option myself. Plus Storm takes freaking forever to release figures. @@MrJspecefini
@@MCLAKB I was referring to Jada and storm. As a whole, storm is better. SHF is another story.

Man. I can't wait for storm to drop their sc figures. Maybe my most anticipated figures in a while.

I didn’t think you’d do this line
Need a break from the horrible marvel legends every now and then

Not gonna lie, now all we need is a 25-30 dollar Terry Bogard action figure and I will be extremely happy.
I like 3D fighting games a lot more than 2D. But Anthony when you forgot to ask what about games like powerstone I miss those type of fighting games I wish they would come back.
Power Stone was a gem. Number 2 was great too.
I don’t know how there isn’t a SH Figuarts Tekken line, these are alright but I’d like to see these in a “higher” collectors line that isn’t storm
More and more I feel like I should have skipped out on Storm and waited for a true 1:12 option. Now just need KoF, Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue.
I prefer 2D. More specific I prefer sprite. I count Tekken as 2D vs like Soul Calibur where being able to move on the Z-axis is prioritized
2 d love work put in the sprite in every frame sf 3 third strike is the goat 🐐

Cool fig but I don’t collect that license
can you pop off the waist without breaking it
I like the 3d fighting games
3d way better but 2d is mad fun but 3d version of all fighting games is amazing
This figure has tmnt playmates vibes...
I like 3d more since that's what I grow up with
I prefer 2D, mvc2 and cvs2 one of the best fighting games of all time, imo.
QOTD: 2d fighters supremacy
Anthony I prefer VR fighting games
Tekken is my fav fighting game franchise characterwise, but I prefer 2D. Guilty Gear specifically.
I like 2d fighting games better, but now by much. I can get down on some Mortal Kombat Tekken and Bloody Roar too but my favorite fighting games are Final Fight Series, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear etc etc.
Ill only be disappointed if they dont give me a Yoshimitsu, like ive wanted him for so long but aint no one made him lol
👍
Jada Toys should have been the one to make Tekken figures, these American Bandai toys are so cheap looking they almost feel like Chinese bootleg.
2d for me. I do love tekken though.
MCFARLANE, JADA, BANDAI....HASBRO are being totally shamed by their tactic of cheapening out on their already woefully cheap products.
Seriously, HASBRO are an embarrassment.
😎👍🏼
Imma pass on this line for now, figures look cheap and are very gappie. Hope they improve it oh and the king looks terrible
This looks like those cheap $20 bandai dbz figs, but for nearly $30 🤦🏿♂️
This is the only decent one from this line
2D for me. I’ve never even played a 3D fighting game.
One of my favorites was Clay Fighter, a nice combo of 2D gaming with an excellent 3d feel. I doubt the graphics hold up in 2023, but they were out of this world in 1994.
Clayfighter was great
The sad thing is dragon stars and anime heroes should be like this yet they dont do it because they want us to buy figuarts
3D
2d hand drawn
Not pinless. Instant L. Hasbro better 🤷🏾♂
Is this a serious comment?
@@AnthonysCustoms I fear for what will happen to me if I say yes lmao
I know you don’t mind the pins but how do you feel about pins in the shoulder? I notice that in your line rival collectibles that pins aren’t showing in front of the shoulder.

Big dislike in shoulders
