Toy Review: SOTA Street Fighter Balrog

Eat your heart out Pacquiao. This boxer can knock you out to the next Street Fighter game. Balrog is a former boxing legend and now a member of the sinister Shadaloo. His bad temperament and blood-thirsty path had him banned for life by the industry that made him famous. He has taken the thirst to the streets and was noticed by M.Bison and eventually took Balrog under his wing. Balrog or also known as "M. Bison" in Japan, is akin to Mike Tyson’s features. This was the inspiration where Capcom built the character.  

SOTA initially chose the blue variant and recreated this character with utmost detail, his scale is accurate to Street Fighter II. Balrog physique in this SOTA offering stands between T-Hawk and E. Honda. So he is short at the same time bulky. His external abdominals are wide, this means that the arms cannot clip closer to its torso leaving them in a curve.
