Toy Review: Play Arts Kai Ken Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

Vol.4 of the Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition in Play Arts Kai starts with the release of Ken Masters. Ken has dark tan airbrushed on the exposed flesh areas and muscle veins. The figure uses a cleaner, well-kept red fighting Gi, a familiar sight especially for long-time Street Fighter fans.

Toy Review: SOTA Street Fighter Ken (Yellow Version)

One of my favorite Street Fighter characters of all time. For a time, Capcom included some smoking hot combos for Ken than of Ryu. Although Ryu may be stronger than Ken in the game, Ken supers however makes you feel explosive. A notable example is his flaming Shoryuken, which is already a three hit combo in one move.

I wouldn't say that SOTA's Ken is perfect. But nevertheless his sculpt near to, or reminiscent to its game counterpart. Ken has an extra head but I couldn't remember when he sported a long hair and a with a yellow bow.

It is also rare in the SOTA Street Fighter line that there are missed paint parts which is more common in SH Figuarts. In this, I am most appreciative of the quality of work the company has done with the line, especially with Ken.

As for the rest of the body, Ken’s form is similar to Ryu's. Of course without the torn Gi. Ken is more refined, clean cut. I guess that would be obvious as the character is wealthy and can afford to a number of outfits. Enough with this.
