The S.H. Figuarts Blanka doesn’t really look like the version in Street Fighter V but more of homage to the classic look since Street Fighter 2. He still sports that savage look with a hairy chest, forearms and shin and his hair or mane that hasn’t changed throughout the decades. His extra parts include 2 closed fists and an open mouth faceplate. The difference between this and other Figuarts is that the head peg is attached on the face rather than the back of the head. Just be careful as the stem is thin and I could imagine people breaking this part.
Other than the extra parts, the set also includes a background cardboard type stage and the transparent electrocuted film version of Chun-li and Ryu. There is only 1 clip in the set so it is either shared between these. Don’t forget that these are covered in a plastic film so you need to remove them before displaying.
Though lacking in parts, the figure is compensated with one of the most flexible parts in the S.H. Figuarts line. Blanka can even, to a point can be rolled into a ball similar, if not exactly to one of his rolling attacks. With the right balance it can also do a handstand like a hard kick in the game. This is one of the best representations of Blanka ever since the SOTA days and I highly recommend picking this one up not only for S.H. Figuarts collectors but Street Fighter fans as well.
