>>5953241On one hand, Storm Collectible's Ryu resembles SF V's Ryu more because of all the minute details and more "realistic" appearance, while SHF Ryu resembles Smash's Ryu with the crisp clean anime style. So appearance wise you could think if you want more of a SFV look or a Smash rendition look.
Articulation-wise however, I think both will be pretty great, but already I see that SHF Ryu has a bottom neck joint to probably offer more pose-ability for head tilts (Storm Collectible's neck and upper chest is one single piece).
Price-wise, Storm Collectibles Ryu can be found for $55 on BBTS, and I guess the SHF will be around 6,000 since standard-released SHFs are like 6,000 yen lately. So overall they'll be around the same price, or SHF Ryu will cost just a few more bucks than Storm Collectibles' with import fees and stuff.
This'll be hard, honestly I really like both so I'll probably end up getting both.
One thing to keep in mind though is that this is Storm Collectible's first 1/12 figure so I don't know how it'll end up being in hand while we pretty much already know how SHFs are. Since the Storm Collectibles Ryu is going to be released this month though, we'll have ample enough time to look at reviews before the SHF one goes up fro pre-order, which is nice.
