Write a Review link for that item. Street Fighter (Jada Toys) (Jada Toys)Given how Street Fighter's cast spans the globe, it's no surprise more than a couple of fighters come from the U.S. of A. Ken is one of those American fighters, but the earlier games established him as being born and raised in Japan (with a Japanese-American mother) before moving to the States. Thus, that makes Guile the first actually American SF figure by Jada. I wish I knew who was sculpting these figures, because everything we've seen from this line looks great and stays true to the SFII-era designs. Guile has a good likeness, with a large brow and serious expression, and as always with this line, there are two heads to make use of, so you also have an exposed teeth head with an angrier expression. I can't forget his crazy flattop hair, and it looks nice, albeit a bit flatter than it should be, and if you feel like it, you can have him stand on his head thanks to it. The hair sculpt appears to be the same on both heads, it's just the paint wash that's applied differently. The paint for the faces is good as well, including printing for the eyes. Guile stands 6" tall and is dressed appropriately for an Air Force member. He wears a green tank top, camo pants, boots, and a dog tag chain. The chain is a separate piece, not on his person in the box, and the head(s) keep it around his neck. The work on the camo pants is good, with plenty of colors, but the parts underneath the knee caps are solid green, so they create a bit of an eyesore when the legs are bent. The rest of the paint is good, with clean work and some wash here and there to bring things out. There are also his American flag shoulder tattoos, and the work on them is nice, but the right one looks cleaner and nicer than the one on the left. Guile continues Jada's trend of well-articulated figures, with the usual joints for the head, neck, pectorals, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, chest, waist, hips, thighs, knees, shins, and ankles. Everything moves easily, has plenty of range, and the interchangeable parts swap with no issues. What I like most about the articulation here is how the waist is designed, with some dips in the front and back of the socket to allow for plenty of lean in both directions. It would be great if other companies did waist joints like this. Guile's key accessory is the Sonic Boom effect, made out of clear, yellow-tinted hollow plastic, and comes with a stand to keep it in the air. His hand options include a pair of fists, a gripping right for holding an included comb, and an open left, so that you can recreate one of his win poses. The extra right can also hold the chain, so his other win pose can be achieved. I don't think anyone expected Jada, a company who specializes in die-cast collectibles, to make one of the best and most affordable Street Fighter toy lines to exist, but they pulled it off, and Guile is more proof of how damn good they are when it comes to action figures. There's a blue variant of him out now that looks pretty cool, but unless there are any unique parts included, I can pass. I may as well, given how it's a Target exclusive, and barely any Targets I know stock this line. - 8/25/25   by Toasted Brains |
