Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Vega (Balrog) Street Fighter V

Before I continue on with the review, you need to attached the end of his cloth near the right side of his waist. The S.H. Figuarts Vega is the 10th figure released for the said line but for Street Fighter V. However, this figure has a classic look, taking its cue since his debut in Street Fighter 2. Vega or Balrog in Japan, sport his signature his claw, wears a purple and yellow ceremonial pants, a red sash, loafers, and white leggings of a matador. Finally, on his chest is the purple snake tattoo. You can even remove the mask but only reveals the eyes underneath, the rest remains blank. 

The figure comes with 5 extra hands, an unmasked head, a stage background and the fence. The guards for the right fists are exchangeable with Vega’s default claw hand on top. Similar to Blanka, the background stage comes in 2 parts that is balanced from the folds at the back. Lastly the fence is built by clipping the parts together and there are support beams to keep it upright. This is modular so you can build this either horizontally or vertically. 

Even if the figure is somewhat bow-legged, that doesn’t deter the overall playability of the figure. In fact, if you have been watching this channel for sometime now, the body seems to fuse all the best figures there were in S.H. Figuarts, even its premium Shinkocchou Seihou line. It could have been better with additional bicep joints but at least you pose his exactly how it was in Street Fighter. The fence though felt small compare with the backdrop especially for toy photographers like me.
