>>6287795Anon here, yeah I agree, the Storm one is by no means perfect.
The brows are kind of chunky, articulation isn't as high as the SHF (head is limited because of the rubber neck, shoulders also because of the bulkiness), scale is bigger than the usual ~1:12 scale figs.
Still, it's not like it has shit articulation, it can pull off good poses despite the bulk.
For the neck, I found this video that explains that you can make the neck hole bigger which allows greater head movement:

I was also turned off with how SHF Chun-li's face looks so there's no point in collecting both lines imo...I wanted to get both but it's hard since they're not in scale with each other. Overall for what the Storm Ryu offers it's the better one imo.
Also I'm really liking how the Storm line looks so far, Zangief looks nice and I'm afraid that if Bandai makes an SHF Zangief it'll just end up looking sort of clunky with seams and joint cuts on the body and such.
I also like the characters they're doing. I really doubt Bandai would make a Hot Ryu and other more minor characters like Alex in the future.
But by no means is SHF a bad figure, I just like Storm's more.
