It's basically an out of scale and differently proportioned version of the SHF. The difference being that the SHF actually has the proper sculpting and proportions to accentuate the more "classic look". This looks like it should be coming out of SFV but lacks any of the detail or texture you'd expect from that style.
Pros of Storm Collectibles Ryu:
-Has 4 more hands than SHF. SHF has hadouken hands pulling triple duty because they don't include kung fu pose hands or charging hands like the SC.
-Hadouken effect is subjectively better because it has two modes and looks beefy. SHF effect looks kind of generic and small but it should work well with Chun-li so that's a plus.
-Can remove gi.
Cons of Storm Collectibles Ryu:
-Out of scale, is 7 inches when it should be 5.9 inches like the SHF. Ryu is 5'9'' tall.
-Stand looks kinda shit and annoying to use.
-Super soft looking sculpt and questionable black wash that isn't heavy enough to accentuate details properly. Total loss of texture and details.
-SFV proportions.
I'm canceling mine because it comes off as a worse SHF and they haven't shown off any females either. It's a shame, I kind of wanted a SFV display but this just doesn't capture SFV that well.
