Jada Toys Street Fighter II - Balrog

I was blown away by how solid Balrog feels in hand once you pose him—the paint on his boxing gloves has that slightly worn look from the arcade game. My only tiny gripe is the left punch hand is a bit tricky to swap, but he looks menacing on the shelf.

The articulation on his arms and shoulders is surprisingly smooth for a figure this size, and the way his boxing stance holds without tipping over is a nice touch. He looks fierce on the shelf next to the other fighters, and the paint detail on his face really captures that menacing scowl.

The paint on his gloves and trunks is sharp with no slop, and the sculpt really captures that menacing boxer stance. He’s got enough heft to feel solid in hand, which makes him great for display or quick punch poses. Just wish the hands swapped a bit easier, but honestly the detail makes up for it.
