So heartbreaking we’ll never get MK3 kabal after they showed us that prototype a few years ago
I laid it all out on the table when I met my better half and she collects stuffed animals
Sounds like the perfect life.
She has no right to judge when she at 37 years old bought a pair of light up shoes for herself.
If somebody isn't willing to accept you on your terms then they aren't willing to accept you at all. That's not love. Don't settle for anything less than love. We all deserve it.
My partner collects Monster High Dolls, which is a hobby I actually got her back into when she found out that I collect action figures. I also got her into Nendoroids - which I think I just wanted an excuse to own because they didn't fit into my regular collection.

This is my favourite version of, Sheeva from her intro in MK3.
This figure looks brilliant and very accurate.
But.
Her proportions look good to herself but in scale to rest of line in Storm Collectibles, she is far too big.
In the game she is smaller than, Shao Khan, but the figure towers well over the figure of Khan.
She’s as big as Goro as a figure when she should just be about Jax sort of height at best.
Happy to see this review made and look forward to when mine arrives.
I did order mine from BBTS and I live in the Uk.
It was pushed back though as was meant to be released last year in August 2023.
Finally on the way.
hope jadatoys give us a better MK line
Definitely.
Mcfarlane does not do articulation well enough for MK, and storm collectibles is expensive as hell. Jada with a MK, kengan, baki, castlevania, and Marvel V Capcom license would be amazing
Storm has been dragging this MK line far to long
Absolutely, I don't care that much about Street Fighter, but I was tempted to get the figures from Jada because of how good they look, if they did MK figures, it would be an instant buy for me
Cheaper, not better.
I am hoping for this so much. These are not affordable to me, atleast not to collect any multiples of. It being compatible with the SF line would make it even better.
Question of the day: My first wife had a real problem with my female figures, especially those who had somewhat provocative outfits. My second wife loves my figures even more than I do and has zero issues with any of them, male or female. That being said, I don't collect the really racy or “exploitive” figures. I find those to be pretty disturbing myself. McFarlane’s Tortured Souls, Twisted Oz, and Twisted Fairy Tales lines come to mind here. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Can't believe Anthony was able to do this review with one hand, I salute you.
Can't wait for jada MK figs. Hopefully they stick to mk2, then expand from there.
The package needs to be in good shape and it needs to have a proper window to show the action figure in the package.
Of course, we need to open the package to enjoy the action figures.
We should also keep the package to put the figure back in the package for storage or protecting the figures while moving.
The original Muscle Mami.
It's a collection addition for sure. Thanks for the keen eye and in-depth review.
Thanks for watching
It's unfortunate that the MK license is no longer on the line. We'll never see Kitana/Mileena prototype turn into the full release product. Heck, they haven't made Cage and Sonya.
But I hope Jada will get the license, I always wanted an MK figs that affordable for my wallet...
It's very possible wb gets their heads out of their butts and storm continues the line
@@AnthonysCustoms Hopefully...
Storm made amazing figures... Just wish they were 1/10th-1/12th scale 😢
I was hoping and wondering when you were gonna review Storm Collectibles Sheeva. I will say the right leg is alittle loose on mine, but I thought maybe that was because of the posing and moving it. Thanks for the review and I have mine displayed out in the open, with no cares. :D
I really want this Sheeva and Taki from Soul Calibur
I'm glad I sold my MK line from Storm a few years ago. Seven to eight years later and we never got the complete roster from MK1, 2, or 3. We didn't even get the main character (Lui Kang) until last year! Inconsistent sculpts, wasting time on 500 ninjas, and the inability to fit them with other MK lines due to Storm's scale means this was a bad investment from the beginning. Storm Collectibles stretches themselves too thin with way too many product lines.
Agree about them having too many licences they are never going to complete any of them
I also find that the quality of their products is just too inconsistent for the prices they now charge.
Not only tons of ninjas, but seemingly short production runs, meaning Sub Zero and Scorpion are almost always crazy expensive. Sheeva is also the ONLY female they ever did; no Kitana, Mileena, or Jade (despite the obvious buck reuse there), not even a Sonya. No Johnny Cage. No Shang Tsung. I could go on. Great figures, but the roll out just didn't make sense.
Oh, and DOUBLING the cost of Liu Kang by ONLY making him available with a giant dragon pack-in? That was just low. I mean, yes, the dragon is very, very well done, but damn, not everyone needs or cares about his Animality.
Anthony, it's not just your figure's hips. I think the majority of them have been loose. It's a bummer, but doesn't seem to hinder posing or stability once she's balanced.
this sheeva looks more based on the art of mk3 than the other figures who were either based on modern classic art, and or the game sprites
Lol for the question, no one I know has any issues with the figures I buy and I don't mind putting them on display. Great looking figure though even with the issues. I'd definitely get Mileena since she's one of my favorites from mk but only if it's one of the older designs which I like more
Four hands=50% less "my hands are tired" complaints. 😁
I'm out of box, and I'll keep the packaging if it's for import figures or lines that have more accessories. It helps keep the value somewhat in the aftermarket if and when I need to make room.
Also, continuing off of other comments, it'd be hilarious if Jada picked up the license and did Liu, Cage and Sonya right off the bat. I do know that in a stream Juhn mentioned being interested in a UMK3 line if they did get it hypothetically.
Question of the day 1: Nah, I’ve been pretty up front with relationships about collecting in general.
I think it also comes down to the mindset of the partner or family you’re living with.
Question of the day 2: The packaging quality matters very little to me. I like the window, and I like consistency on the box.
She looks great! I’m just surprised there isn’t a black or slightly darker red line along her outfit. But then they’d probably have to add an outline to her back spots.
If storm has indeed lost or done with the MK license I feel like these last few figures have been a strong note to end on. Especially that Shao Kahn throne set. It sucks to leave it unfinished but they did seem to be scattered throughout all the MK titles.
Packaging matters to me. I open most figures but do keep some MIB. I keep the boxes for the ones I open.
Depends on the package. if there is some really good art or some gimmick to it i will keep it
Question of the day: I haven't had any issues to be honest. I've had fanservice-y action figures in my collection since I was a kid. It didn't bother my parents when I was a kid, nor has it ever bothered SOs. It also doesn't bother my wife when I buy them now.
It's probably what you said. As long as you're not weird about it, no one else has any reason to be weird about it either.
Give us a Figma Guyver review please, it’s such a versatile and great figure. I love it.
I've done a review for it, and I think it's great
@@cptwigglefuffle it is but no offense I gotta see the Big Kahuna’s take. Great and terrible figures make the best videos of his for years now. I personally like Guyver as a Lavos/Cell/Hakumen substitute
@@gloving4hire i really appreciate that i'm not the only one who thinks guyver and cell look similar lol
also no worries man, i always trust anthonys reviews too
@@cptwigglefuffle lavos version 2/Cell both designed that era of organic robots from space
@@cptwigglefuffle nice video you made 💪
That's a great question and thank God my wife is not an issue. If anything she weirdly appreciates the work and sculpture and figure of such figures 😂
My copy suffer from the same issues as yours, loose hip joints, slightly sloppy paint jobs on the red and the spots on her back. She looks good standing with her imposing stature but isn't fun to pose with her loose hips, limited ankle tilt and wrist joints so short that her hands pop off too easily.
😊 loose joint is a big problem
Q of the Day (1): I have my own standards as to what’s appropriate and what isn’t, so my wife (or even my kids when they were young) never really factored into my purchase decisions. Those standards would loosely translate into TV-14 and below.
Q of the Day (2): I keep the packaging for the more expensive imports in case I ever decide to sell them, but I couldn’t care less about the packaging in general. I’d rather see that monry go into the figure.
The loose hips bother me but im finding that many of my other storm figures dont want to stand after awhile even my new goro who took a tumble the other day so i put them on doll stands . Very annoying . Having said that since i have goro ,kintaro and motaro i feel some what obligated to get sheeva to finish my shotokan shelf . But perhaps not as much as a priority as she once was .
To be honest, the best Storm's figure is Hanma Yuujiro. They really gave life to him, the details are amazing on this figure.
This is the only MK figure I bought from Storm, I just have to get her in case Storm stopped making MK figures and she will get harder to find in the future. I just like to have some thicc muscle female characters on my shelf.
The only storm figure i have is the Virtua Fighter Akira figure, it's pretty darn good with with some limited articulation, I'm really interested in getting the other Virtua Fighter figures and even rhe new Skullomania.
As for the question of the day, I've had sexy anima figures since like high school and got action figures that are from some more risque series and i don't care if someone comments on it lol, I'm a grown man i can buy what i want
I love that Akira figure, it's a sleeper hit from Storm even if he's just a guy in a Gi. 😂
@@mynamedoesntmatter3129 yeah i think it looks awesome, kinda wish i had the blue and red variant tho
Family hasn't said anything about the Storm Collectibles Taki, Mai, or Juri that I have but my sister did say that my Kotobukiya Dark Magician Girl looked like a "fairy stripper".
Pffffft...she comes with a book. What strippers are going to be reading?
My girlfriend doesn’t mind what I buy tbh. I mainly buy fighting game characters sh figuarts and whatever I find cool tbh. She actually finds it cool especially customs I make
The legs on mine are pretty loose. Any suggestions to tighten them up?
no good suggestions. putting glue or floor polish in the joint is never a good idea since it isnt permanent for the joint but can permanently ruin your figure.
Floppy hips not good. However, if you put her in a stomp land pose with the legs waaaaaay out to the sides and legs bent, it holds better However, then we're back to might offend some people with her look :) luckily I have an office with all the MK figs reside in.
Do you plan on reviewing the SDCC Deadpool Bob 2 pack?
IDK if I'll ever get one for a decent price
Hi Anthony, can you please make an update video of best 100 action figures? 😁
Not quite yet. Give it a few years
Yes, it is a thing for me.
This is why I can't ever get into storm. I understand that factory stuff is going to have QC issues, but theirs are bad, and it seems like they're often pretty visible (you can tell the paint job is sketch in the pose of her standing next to her spikey ball). At the ~$100 price point, it's just not for me. I have Reptile and like that figure (got it through amazon so easy returns if it was messed up), but even that took 2 times to get one that was good.
It's a shame about the loose hips.
Other reviewers have had trouble with loose hops, too.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Another solid review!
Two Questions of the Day in one video? On a Sunday morning? You WERE a teacher weren't you? 1) I don't really care what people think of my hobby; 2) I am not a particular fan of keeping packages unless I want to keep some unused accessories separate from the others. Thanks for your review on this very interesting product. It would appear that fiddling around with an action figure cleared your otherwise sleepless mind. Perhaps more fiddling might break you out of those cloudy moments. I recall this worked on an old Seinfeld episode. Just saying.
Will you review Yujiro Hanma?
Brother Anthony, do you have any idea how to fix loose joints? Can it be repaired?
It’s hard to see any Storm Mortal Kombat figures and not feel a level of disappointment, they had the license for over 10 years and they didn’t come close to pushing out a complete MK1 let alone a MK2 roster, they did give us about a dozen repainted/retooled ninjas and they re-released Shao Khan a lot though.
I don't think it was 10 years. There's a chance they're not done yet too
@@AnthonysCustoms idk I’ve seen a lot of talk about Storm cancelling their MK license since they removed the license from their website page. It’s closer to 8 years because they first showed off the product shots for Scorpion in 2016. If it’s over, we never got Kitana, Johnny Cage, Sonya or Mileena.
everyone who had mk licenses no longer have them listed. storm didnt cancel the license.
Have you considered reviewing the storm mk line as a whole now that they have stopped making them? May make for an interesting review
I don't have all of them
@AnthonysCustoms no but you have had all of them and are in a good position to talk about the line as a whole
The old digitized MK games had the best designs. The 3-D games are not my style.
Sheeva looks really nice. Almost pretty.
Lmao bro if someone’s wife/husband is worried about you owning a figure like this or something there is an issue like WHAT.😂😂 or maybe I misunderstood the question lol. great review Anthony been watching ya forever hope everything is good with you and the family
Have a bloody Goro sealed if you are interested
Only looking for the normal versions. Thanks though
It’s a great-looking figure. I heard that Storm will no longer be making more MK figures which is a huge bummer. I wish they released more female characters in the roster. I would probably have picked up a Sonya Blade. I think this Sheeva is the only female MK figure they made?
All mk licenses are frozen by wb from what i heard. Once they get things figured out the licenses might resume.
Which version of MK is this Sheeva from?
I would say the art for 3
I know somebody who was made fun of by their significant other in front of their coworkers and it made them not want to collect anymore. Smh
At this price point there is no excuse for loose hip joints
It's not that you have to do anything weird with the things you own (In this case adults owning toys as a hobby) it's the fact that ppl will pass judgement on them because 'aren't you too grown for toys?' type mentality. Because of that, some ppl (mainly men) will steer away from buying figure like this despite having a strong fondness of said character that looks sexy or lewd in its design to avoid embarrassment from others around them.
Sounds like a you problem.
@@TheMattTrakker I actually don't have that problem...stop being weird..
To me her name is Gordita.
They should have made her swimsuit a separate piece
Was their mortal Kombat line ended?
yes
Yeah
I believe all mk licenses were
@@AnthonysCustomsI had no idea. I have every storm mk figure so I was hoping it would continue
There are some action figures in my collection with such sex appeal I rather keep them hidden. For example female figure for customization from Romankey. I cannot just display her naked as I got her because of kids, I still didn’t figure out what character I should change her into.
No shame buying anything, shame is weakness👎🏻 Packaging quality varies on the figure itself, price, & rarity. Also I 100% cop this Sheeva love her classic design, outfit, and that face is beautiful👌🏻
Wanted this but it's a pass for the hip/leg issues. It's a big issue especially if you want her to hold another figure. Hopefully Jada gets the license.
It's not just yours that's loose. Other people have commented on it as well.
So the butt part of her "swim suit" is held up by...her belt? 😂
I don't think the guys designing mk characters back in the day spent a lot of time thinking about practicality
you gonna review gear 5 luffy?
Yes
I dont care about packaging, i open everything. I'm married but my wife doesnt care about how a figure looks. This is a great figure but Storm Collectibles is too expensive and too large for my liking as most of my lines are 6 inch scale. Really hope Jada Toys get the MK license one day.
🧱🏠👌
Damn shame this is the only female MK character Storm gave us before they lost the license...
THEY LOST THE LICENSE????
@@dobletmatutino9446yes
@@dobletmatutino9446 Yep. There's rumors that Jada might pick it up, which I really hope they do. Wanna komplete my MK Trilogy roster at least
0:19 absolutely YES. Now Sheeva not so much, shes scantily clad, but still monstrous. But Felicia from Darkstalkers? Thats hard to justify lol. And don't get me started on the import stuff. Theres some badass figures if the main character wasn't portrayed as a preteen girl in a bikini under the suit of mech armor. Its so damn weird.
Is there any reason why they leave the joints like that? Takes away from the look imo.
leave them like what?
@@AnthonysCustoms Showing like the forearms seeing two holes ruins the look imo. just wondering why they do it that way instead of a solid piece?
The sad thing is this will be the only female MK figure that we’ll get from Storm.
I'd say at the beginning of the relationships I'd be worried but more about the nerdy and expensive hobby of collecting figures rather than the figure. Still, anything Anime is pretty bad, but my girlfriend knows I just like most knight/armored figures or classic game ones like Halo, WoW or Mortal Kombat.
My wife doesn’t object to me getting Tbleague figures. Can’t get any worse than those.
Oh yes it can... Check a Japanese retailer. It gets much much worse.
Thanks for sharing. Cancelled my order after seeing this. The crotch is so weirdly long, head looks too small and kinda cheap, not a great sculpt. The flat bottom also looks weird. She seems a bit too tall as well. Disappointed with their execution here, for the price especially.
The waist, the butt and the chest look really muscular lacking, almost like they are parts of a different figure. They don't match the legs and arms at all. Guess Sheeva was skipping those days on the gym
This does not look promo pics. Totally lack of paint. Even if this not there last figure. I think it’s my last storm mortal kombat
Lack of paint? The whole thing is shaded
