Like all 42-year-old men, I get toys from my wife for Christmas (and she gets Pokemon cards.)

Those are amazing nothing like the originals. I love the artwork on the boxes. Have you seen the newer "Missing Link" line? They are the basically the originals but with articulation & Japanese box art. I'm considering getting some of these. I got burned out on the Masterpiece line & sold it all but the missing link line has got me wanting to get a few of these. So far I think they have released four of them. O.P. w/trailer and without trailer, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper. They just shown Sunstreaker concept recently.

Missing link is turning out to be great, it's not just more articulation but also prototypes and unreleased figures.

I absolutely do not need to get back into these again ugh. These missing links are just so damn awesome. Probably going to go ahead & grab C0-3 Bumblebee & C0-4 Cliffjumper and see how I like them before getting Optimus P & trailer. Yeah I seen that unreleased of Arcee they may be doing really cool. Just wonder if they will possibly do that unreleased Unicron. If they end up doing the whole '84 lineup that would be pretty damn sweet. Like to see how they handle Ironhide & Ratchet. Since these are about keeping the original look of toys but as im sure you know these were originally Diaclone before Transformers so it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Guiles legs could be longer. Hopefully they do a blue version like hyper fighting.

Cummy looks great even with that instagram duck face.

Deejay is pretty good. Butterfly joints work great but I feel like could've hidden them better. I also wish he was more black since the shade he has is pretty off vs his SF2/SF4 look. One thing to keep in mind is the torsos on these can have great variance in how they match the rest of the skintone. Some are too orange so probably a QC issue. Luckily mine seems to match mostly but still pretty unacceptable. The picture really magnifies it. In any case nice to see my favorite street fighter got a figure made. Dark jaguar would approve.

Kinda funny storm collectibles has had the street fighter line since 2017 and not even half way through the roster. Meanwhile Jada in ~2 years has done Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Cammy, Guile, Deejay, Dhalsim, Bison (dictator), and Fei long. Im most excited for Tony Hawk and Vega (claw).

I've got a Jada Cammy waiting for me, holding up for a few more things to save on shipping.

Looks awesome.
Shout out for Shockwave in the BG.

That effect piece looks like it could be easily modified to smoke crack with.

Recently I've gotten in to First4Figures statues. I don't have or want a bunch of them, but for a few favorite characters these are very cool.

Got in Samus yesterday - ordered her four months ago, but was definitely worth it.
