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.
Compare to other SHF figures, he is the tallest among the action figures, even Phasma is shorter than Gouki.
Comparing to Figma, Figma look skinny compare to Gouki, haha.
Compare to Marvel Legends action figures. (MVC series characters, lol)
”我望むもの、只一つ。死合うに敵う強者のみ…！”
“I only ask for one thing, that is, a strong opponent to fight with me life and death!”
“I only ask for one thing, that is, a strong opponent to fight with me life and death!”

Gouhadoken!
豪昇龍拳！
Goushoryuken!
"Too bad, you could have been a challenge."
"The Shun Goku Satsu will show you true penance!"
Round 2, fight!
Round 2, fight!
Huiyaa!
Shuriyaa!
Heiyaa!
竜巻斬空脚！
(Tatsumaki)Zankukyaku!
斬空波動拳！
Zankuhadoken!
豪昇龍拳！
Goushoryuken!
”一瞬千擊！”
"Yishunsengeki!"
"Yishunsengeki!"
瞬獄殺！
SHUN GOKU SATSU!!
Tokok, tokoktokoktokoktokoktokok---!!
YOU WIN, PERFECT!
“奈落に最も近き門、此処にあろ！”
"The closest gate to hell, it's here!"
"The closest gate to hell, it's here!"
"You! Are you a worthy warrior!? Come face me!" Gouki raging...
"Huh? What!? No, nope nope nope...." Gouki is scaring the hell out from Ranma.
"Huh? What!? No, nope nope nope...." Gouki is scaring the hell out from Ranma.

Takara Transformers Legends LG58 Autobots Clone Bot sets, Fastlane and Cloudraker.
FASTLANE AND CLOUDRAKER
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE)
Cloudraker
If ever there was a robot in need of years in therapy, Cloudraker is he. Nothing is good enough for him. He envies his younger clone brother Fastlane's popularity and social skills, wishes he was on the ground with people while simultaneously being terrifed of being grounded. In response to this fear he flies as high as possible, but then becomes frustrated by being bound in an atmosphere. Internal malfunctions lead him to feel claustrophobic at all times, even when flying in an empty sky. Simply a mass of crossed circuits, phobias and frustrations, it's a wonder he's able to function at all. On top of the psychological problems he can also suffer "mode-lock", trapping him in one form.

Cloudraker alt mode 360 GIF.
Top of the Cloudraker alt mode.
The clone bots idea is those figures that got very simple transformation steps toys, all the parts is simply fold away, not hidden.
There are two holes at the bottom of the alt mode for display stand use. (see picture above)
With a seat for Headmasters use.
Headmaster/Titanmaster is just simply sit on the alt mode, lack of control stick or anything to drive the jet, mind control? Haha.
The hollow area is visible on side of the jet.
The left wing can't even go straight when I take it out from the box.
Have to file down a bit of the wing to let the wing go straight, now look perfect.
Fastlane
When you break down the personality of Fastlane (aka Fastclash), he doesn't come off sounding very good. He's a totally immature, reckless, thrill-seeking, show off. Surprising then to find that he's quite well liked by both humans and Autobots. The fact is there's just no malice in Fastlane's antics, he's mischievous at worst and his stunts are usually quite entertaining to watch. His most daring stunts can be a bit dangerous to others who happen to be nearby (he once caused a HUGE accident on Cybertron by doing a 360 in confining heavy traffic at 500 miles per hour) but no one's ever been really hurt by them except for Fastlane himself when he pushes his design just a little too far.

Fastlane alt mode 360 GIF.
Top of the alt mode.
The display stand holes also works on Fastlane, but car doesn't fly...
The seat is same like his brother, but it is more protective, with two arms wrapping the seat.
No steering wheel or control stick either.
No peg holes for weapons, no worry, you can flip out the wrist to attach weapons.
Compares to other series Legend class figures.
Cloudraker robot mode 360 GIF.
Close up on Cloudraker face, the face sculpting is really nice for a small figure like this.
Fastlane robot mode 360 GIF.
Fastlane's face look exactly same with Cloudraker, just only the back of the head is different.
The torso and arms is identical, only the chest emblem is different.
The backpack is totally different. Noted that the display stand hole is on Cloudraker backpack, because the backpack is blocking the original peg hole.
The front of the legs and the feet is identical.
Legs is a little different at the back. Cloudraker legs is cover up, but Fastlane legs is hollow.
Chest plate is still openable.
Although Fastlane is not transforming like Cloudraker, but the split crotch hinges is still on Fastlane.
Head can turn 360 degree.
Shoulder and elbow joint can only fold 90 degree, no wrist joint, except folding.
Because of how the alt mode works, the shoulder can move to front like this, extra articulation.
Hips joint works well, the knee fold less than 90 degree angle, no tilting ankle but forward backward.
Fastlane head turn is a little bit limited by the wing, but it is not a serious problem, the wing can move away.
Hips joint is same like Cloudraker, but the knee joint is better than his older brother, it can fold more than 90 degree.
One of the weirdest head parts I ever saw in TF toys. (same as the G1 version Fastlane) This wing parts look like those old style shaving razor, lol.
The wrist peg hole is compatible to normal 5 mm peg handle weapons.
Comparing to Headmaster series characters.
Compare to Legends class figures.
"The power of clone brothers!", "Hyaaa---!".
"Eat our furious punch, this go to your guts, you big bat!"
"Here you go---!" (together)
"Hahahaha!" Cloudraker, "Even Overlord is not our opponent!!" Fastlane shout out loud.
"Hm? I felt someone's behind us.", "D.. don't tell me he is behind us...".
"OMP!", "RUN---!!"
"He did it!" Cloudraker.
"He did it!" Fastlane.
Clones are accusing Brawn beat up Mindswipe...
"He did it!" Fastlane.
