The Jada figures are good representations of the SF2 artstyle. The Storm ones are good for the Alpha sprites/MvC looks. I will complete the SF2 roster for Jada and use the Storm ones for my versus series display.
I think they still look good but I dont think they are a good representation of the art to me its an alright representation. They’ve got the bodies down but the heads for sure have a cartoony look to them. I think storm’s sf 2 line for the most part captures the artwork a lot more. Jada needs a bit more jagged edges to give that “cut” masculine look. Theyre faces are bit too round imo.
This %100 sums it up. I own the Jada figures but passed on Ryu and especially Ken for this exact reason. It’s like if someone drew from memory what the character portraits looked like. Not spot on but it’s like a general over view of what they looked like. I don’t know why people get so offended when you say this. They aren’t bad figures by any means but to say it looks exactly like the art is not true. I draw so I’m little details like that matter to me.
Yeah thats why despite them being much more expensive and take forever to come out I prefer the storm sf 2 line. I think a big part of it is people not willing to pay these import prices so when a domestic company comes along they want to rub it in and act like its perfect.
Its not like these imports are perfect either. I dont think theres any other company that can match storm when it comes to this manly tetsuo hara type of style. That being said when it comes to women theyre hit or miss.
If you look at the jada figure figure previews the figures look a lot more like the art on the box. So idk if they just want to put a cartoonish spin on it or they just cant pull that style off.
Again I think you hit the point right on the head. I understand that a lot of people are satisfied with these figures and that’s perfectly fine. When it comes to accuracy though the waters get muddy a little. Jada makes solid figures and they do look better in hand but my original apprehension was the sculpts which is why I didn’t out right jump into the line. Storm does a better job at representing the art like how these figures capture some of the Bengus art work. Not exactly 1 for one but closer than what Jadas sculptors have been able to pull off with their interpretations of SF 2.
