I just bought Ken and Ryu yesterday, and they are so worth it, the articulations are spot on, you can pose Ken to do his Shoryuken and Ryu to do his prep for Hadoken. The painting on the figures themselves give them a wood maquette look, and it's gorgeous. The details to the faces, clothing, and muscles are give the figures a very simple but incredibly detailed look. These definitely rival McFarlane toys for beauty and one-up them for their many points of articulation, I highly recommend it.

I bought Ryu for my son last year, as he is a huge Streetfighter fan. He absolutely loved it. This year I bought him Ken so Ryu would have a sparring partner. My son liked it as well. Not sure there is any educational value inherent in these pieces, but my son likes to pose them in their "signature" moves and stances. If he's happy with them, so am I.

Bought this toy as a gift for my younger brother,hes always been a street fighter fan and when he saw this toy he exploded with excitement ,figure is well made ,very durable and the detail that went into making them is quite apparent.Overall great toy and gift.

First off, I just want to say that I really wanted to like this figure, but unfortunately, I kinda don't. The reason that I do not like this one is just due to the over-all design. I acknowledge that he is suppose to be designed after the Street Fighter IV style (which I was never really high up on) but even with that, he doesn't really look like the Ken I know. This guy looks like he has a mop on his head and sports a kidnapper smile that just looks kinda creepy/lame. I guess the figure itself is good, but unfortunately the head sculpt just looks bad. I really had high hopes for this line, but it just seems to fall kinda short. I guess that's why they aren't putting any more out in this line. NECA usually puts out some good stuff, but with an already questionable game/art design (once again, just my opinion), I guess they just went with what they were given. Fortunately the Ryu figure and the C. Viper look pretty good.

NECA is pretty well known for having quality products. The problem previously is that the articulation was either completely absent, or very few points were included. Their recent street fighter line has an amazing 35 points of articulation (except for C.Viper due to the fact she is a very skinny toy). they have the following joints:

Ball Neck

Ball and Swivel Shoulders

Double Joint Elbows

Swivel and Joint Wrists

Joint Body

Swivel Waist

New Hip Joints (close to a ball joint)

Swivel Thighs

Double Joint Knees

Swivel calves

Ball Joint Feet

and finally Jointed Toes.

This makes for an amazing action figure. The paint job on these are also amazing, very clean and very minimal smudging.

Now for the bad side of this figure, the hip joints are commonly glued to the crouch piece of these toys. I have boughten two of them, each of them had this problem. to fix it you would have to take it apart and unstick the glue.

Overall a great toy, just that it seems to have a couple of flaws.

I love Street Fighter since I was a kid and this figure is very cool. The only thing I don't like about it is that both spare hands are right.
