Opelouis's Toys Collection: SHFigurearts Street Fighter, Gouki/Akuma.

GOUKI/AKUMA

(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE)

My Favorite character in Street Fighter series is finally release(the other character is Sakura), the master of Fist Of Assassin, the brother of Gouken, the fear of Ryu, the Raging Demon, Gouki! (aka Akuma)(Akuma is 'demon' in Japanese, Gouki is kind means 'great ghost' in Chinese) Really excited to get Gouki, being waiting for so long for the Bandai to do SHF of this Demon, it is really satisfy for me, especially I got some Marvel's characters in my collections, I can play Marvel VS Capcom instead, hehe.

Gouki out of the box. (the box design is not really an excitement, just normal SHF SF series box design)

360 GIF of the figure. The sculpting on the figure is really nice, very bulky, very detail, Glad to get this.

Height stand around 6.3 inches.

Close up on the first face (original come in that face expression).

Rage expression parts. The eyes on this figure is making me think of the hairy Trolls Dolls...

Third face expression, same with the first expression, but the eyes is looking left.

Besides the fist gesture, there is another two sets of hand gesture parts.

Head can turn 360 if adjust away the huge beads.

Forward movement is excellent, backward movement is also not bad.

Shoulder and elbow joint can fold 90 degree angle, armpit joint hidden under the suit, but the joint is not that good enough to do hadouken gesture. noted that the arm joint design is different than other SHF, it's because this is special design for this kind of action figures, the bicep swivel is moved to the middle of elbow joint, shoulder joint is hidden under the shoulder piece, it looks good, but the articulation will be lesser than normal SHF figures.

There are two ball joints on the torso, one is under the rib area, the other one is in the waist, waist swivel is working well.

Forward movement is good, but backward movement is not that good, the karate suit clothing is kind of blocking the joints. (btw the suit is made of soft plastic)

Hip joints do really good, the upper suit is a little bit in the way, but not that big problem. Knee joint can fold more than 90 degree, ankle tilting and for/backward movement is excellent, it is stiff enough to pose the figure.

Included a Gouhadoken energy effect parts.

I think this effect parts is from the Street Fighter 4 series, it look more closely to the SF4 to my opinion.

It look really nice from this side, the colors, the transparency, looks great when shine the light towards it.

This effect parts come with a special stand, very good display stand, the only thing bad is, it had to use the display stand to do the air hadouken attack, the weight is that light, this parts is not hollow. But that is not a problem if you have one.

The inner background of the box is actually a two piece cardboard background of Gouki SF5 stage, Temple Of Ascension, it can use as a background for the action figure.

I like this kind of background, it looks really cool for death battle, like Samurai fight scene. Unfortunately this background cardboard is splitted to two, it's not perfect anymore.
