If it was a bootleg version I'd have no problem fixing the torso issue, but paying top dollar for a great figure that needs fixing...... No dice. It looks really good thou.
Great review man, but I think Storm is getting worse, I mean look at the neck on these new batch of figs, they don’t look right, I love the bulk on storm figs, but now they are looking fat. Mediocre fat looking sculpts, they are getting out Of scale to the older figures, skin tones are getting orange and weird, and on top of all that they are getting more and more expensive. I love storm. But they are starting to remind me of PAK figures, they started of okay, then progressively got worse and more expensive, now to the point of PAK being a huge joke. I don’t want storm to follow in this direction.
I don't mind the issues since this is the only violent ken we'll ever get and im sure we'll talk about daredevil season 3 so keep the tv shows in their i know you probably don't have time for it but you could always talk about a show you're watching at the moment
Picked up both Evil Ryu and violent Ken and was super Disappointed that their stands can't support them : ( I was really looking forward to some Shoryuken poses
Yeah for the torso issue, I moved the crotch and put the torso in the peg and worked fine. So, I removed it and moved the crotch piece piece back in and jammed it in a bit harder until I heard a pop confirming that it's now firmly attached as it should've been.
What alternative to the torso falling apart do you propose? Is there a fix that you could provide for your followers to try? The figures LOOK impressive except for this torso explosion.
Get super glue and layer dry the ball joint to increase friction and over all size of the ball joint. It took me a couple of hours and 4 layers of drying for the joint. I will say 4 was too much because it was hard to put the torso back on but once it was on, it stayed on and exercising the rotation of the ball joint increases the movement and it still remains strong to not allow disconnecting
The body coming apart totally sucks, I have all the other Storm figures and I love them, and I'll still buy this one and the evil ryu, but they would have been so much better if they didn't fall apart, at least you can put them back together
I agree, falling apart is "NOT OK"! Is it possible Storm Collectibles wld make a new floating crotch piece & inner tree, to peg the reg. figs legs & body back on to, that WONT pop the upper body off when posing the hips?? Dark Ryu too. I like the LOOK of this Ken & Ryu better so i hope they find way to fix it.
Love the accuracy of the sculpt! Really looks like the art.

so ive been playing with this figure for awhile and i dont have that problem with mine.
Thanks, I almost picked these up because I love their look but I waited for the reviews & that torso issue will certainly keep me away.
Since its a exclusive it is s bit more pricey but worth it for the fans i think storm needs to fix it and rerelease them
raidenkeify they’re like just a little bit higher than regular version
Unlike shin akuma and shcc chun li
I hope that when they get around to releasing regular SSFII/USFII Ryu and Ken that they get the ball joint popping out issue resolved.
here's hoping
This figure is a must if anyone wants to make s small svc chaos collection i know storm is doing some snk stuff too

if you get a little screw driver and tighten the joints it should fix the problem
How did you make your ken stay on the stand

The problem is the legs pry the abdomen off the peg...
It's looks so good but that torso falling apart tho...
I love honest review, thank you.

Looking good man!
thanks is review amazing figure
Doubt they fixed the hips on the regular ones since they are repainted...oh well
All it needs is a new hip/lower abdomen peg

The blood color is like that in the game for this guy. Really weird.
Appreciate the honest review. Looks like a pass for me even though I love the line. Please say hello and pet Zeus for me. 🙂
other than falling apart, i think the hair aint the right colour. looks too yellow on the figure and in game its a lot closer to white
