Imported from Final Fight game, Sodom made his way to the Street Fighter franchise debuting in Street Fighter Alpha 2 together with his arch nemesis - Guy. For those of you who don't know Sodom is also called Katana in the US Snes version.
He comes with the following accessories:
- Hat - the hat or the takuhatsugasa in Japanese, is one of the least selling point to pick this one up. The cloth fabric has the tendency to peel off. There are grooves inside the hat that should latch perfectly on the head, but alas its not. It tends to fall off quite easily. You may want to apply "patience is a virtue" mantra.
- The holding hands are the default hands, the extra hand is the one with the Japanese fan. The fan is already fixed and cannot be used for other purposes.
- 2 Sais which serves as his primary weapons of destruction (no it isn't). I meant weapon of choice. Both sais have yarn-like thread tied to the end of the weapons. Nothing fantastic.
Sodom has lesser articulation points: a single elbow joint, no waist articulation and the foot doesn't swivel from left to right. So why I am saying that I like this figure again? The sculpt is very accurate to the game and although he has less articulation, Sodom is still poseable figure unlike M.Bison who looks very stiff. I like the color combination which makes Sodom one of the colorful characters in the game franchise. Despite the noticeable misses the figure is a must for Street Fighter aficionados and to Final Fight fans as well. Two loves in one. Sota's Sodom is hard one not to miss.
