  • Storm has secured its spot in fighting game collectible history over the last few years but that still hasn't given them much opportunity to make figures wearing clunky suits of armor. Will they be able to provide an articulated figure while maintaining and impressive, bulky aesthetic?

    Probably the thing I most adore about the SC injustice line is that they didn't just start out with a Batman and Superman like everyone else but instead gave us high end representation of beefy characters that other import companies wouldn't even consider making figures of.

    What I love is how Ares' face is barely visible through the helmet and looks shadowy and featureless due to the eyes contrasting with his skin. Then when you remove it, you can see his face just fine. Using the paint colors to cast an illusion is genius. Whoever painted this figure did a flawless job.

      I don't agree with every review from Anthony but I respect him and his videos because he's honest when a figure is bad. A lot of youtube reviewers are friends or got connections with the toy companies (Hasbro, Mezco, etc) so they tend to not give honest reviews for figures and are clearly biased. There are figures that I thought were great and Anthony thought they sucked or figures he thought were good but I thought were bad. With Anthony, you'll be getting a honest review.

      @@blackcomicnerd3657 It goes beyond that, the strategy is, to engage with the community in a way that the community gets behind what the companies are doing and not the companies giving the community what they want, for example those Marvel Legends trash wolverine pack, no one wants that but since they give the "reveals" to some TH-camrs they didn't criticized them that much

I know y’all are talking about D amazing because he’s always positive about figures he’s honest with problems as well the difference is he doesn’t bitch about them like Anthony again he’s honest in his reviews as well and says he understands if people wouldn’t want to buy it because of the issues,he’s honest but does it in a positive way not crying about it like anthony does and the bad thing about it is that Anthony’s fans don’t have their own opinion they always dick ride Anthony and trash talk the figures

    Anthony, I was always curious about the different plastics say Storm Collectables uses for their figures opposed to the plastics that someone like Hasbro uses in their figures? Hardness, texture etc. If they do, I'm assuming the do, what are the reasons? I know there are cost reasons. I'm more interested in functionality reasons. Thanks.

    I'm fairly hit-or-miss on the Injustice 1 designs, some work better than others. I love the Injustice 2 designs (except Joker, he looks like trash), they toned the aesthetic down somewhat and I think it really matches well with the universe of the games. Off-topic, but I really love the expanded roster of the second game, getting to play as characters like Atrocitus, Dr. Fate, Blue Beetle etc (it's why I've always loved the Lego games, not necessarily the most challenging but the depth of playable characters is unmatched).
    I'm so happy Storm nailed this figure. Ares was one of my mains in the first game, and I was really looking forward to this release. I really like that between the inhuman nature of Ares and Darkseid, and how Storm implemented the designs, they look "real" enough to fit in with my DCEU figures, since we don't have any quality figures of the movie versions (I think the Injustice designs look much better than the film ones to be honest).
    Great review Anthony, thanks!

    I agree with your comment about the Injustice designs. Many of them are overdone, but several of them are very, very good. I really enjoyed the designs for Hawkgirl, Superman, Ares, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Solomon Grundy, for example.
    Injustice 2 took that overdone look, and ramped it up to 11 though and I don't know if I cared for any of those designs.

    I like a lot of the costume designs in Injustice 1, especially with characters actually having multiple different costumes. Regime Harley Quinn is easily one of my favourite designs for the character! By comparison the designs in Injustice 2 were 100 times worse, made even worse still by the fact that they replaced the alternate costumes with a useless customization system that doesn't let you fundamentally alter the look of the character. I haven't bought any of the Storm Injustice figures since they haven't made any characters I really care for, but I am thankful they are mostly focusing on Injustice 1! I'd love to see them make Lex Luthor next.
