Storm Collectibles Tekken 7 Heihachi Mishima Figure – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on May 29, 2018 at 2:44 pm by Joe Moore under Random Photo Shoot, Video Game Toy News

Tekken 7, which released in 2015, is the culmination of the Mishima Saga that started with the original game over 20 years ago. The game features a number of modes, including a cinematic story mode that is becoming a very popular alternative to traditional single-player arcade modes. The story mode sees Heihachi Mishima struggling to maintain control of Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation, as he fights off attacks by numerous entities, all while a new King of Iron Fist tournament is set in motion. The game features over 30 fighters, including special guest characters like Street Fighter’s Akuma, Fatal Fury’s Geese Howard, and Final Fantaxy XV’s Noctis.

Storm Collectibles has been picking up more and more licenses lately. Already well into both a Street Fighter and a Mortal Kombat line, they also have King of Fighters, Fist of the North Star and Tekken figures in the works. The first figure from the Tekken line has hit U.S. stores, and it looks like fans of the franchise are in for a treat. Today we take a look at the Storm Collectibles Heihachi Mishima 1/12 Scale Figure. Our friends at Bluefin sent along the figure to check out. After the jump, you can read my thoughts on the figure, and see a gallery of over 50 photos.

Heihachi Mishima 1/12 Scale Figure by Storm Collectibles

Pros

  • Outstanding overall sculpt
  • Three very good head sculpts
  • Nice selection of interchangeable hands
  • Removable uwagi is a nice touch
  • Excellent articulation
  • Paint work is handled nicely

Cons

  • None

Overall
Heihachi comes packaged in a collector friendly window box. The design is similar in style to their Street fighter and Mortal Kombat figures. The packaging features design elements from the Tekken 7 video game, along with a character nice render of Heihachi on the front. The window is nice and large, and you can easily inspect the figure and the accessories prior to purchasing. The back includes multiple photos showcasing the numerous poses and accessories included. Heihachi includes three interchangeable portraits, four sets of interchangeable hands, an Electric Wind God Fist effects, and a special move effects piece. The figure sits in a plastic clamshell tray, and can easily be placed back in for storage.

Having previously reviewed the Mortal Kombat Ninja’s (and owner of their excellent Street Fighter Ryu), I’m already a big fan of what Storm has been doing with their fighting game figures. I’ve been a fan of the Tekken franchise since the PS1 days, and was more than a little excited to see Storm take on the franchise. With Heihachi in hand, I can thankfully say Heihachi is handled equally as well as their previous releases. The figure features well over 30 points of articulation, and stands just over 6.5″ tall. Range of motion is excellent here, allowing you to easily pose Heihachi in any of his special poses. The figure features multi-point neck articulation hidden under a soft vinyl chest overlay, which is an underrated feature of the Storm figures. This allowed me to get more natural poses with Heihachi looking up or down, as well as being able to tilt his head. Knees and elbows both have double joints, along with a chest that has multiple articulation points. Joints are all very solid with no looses spots and no paint locking issues present here. Parts swap out easily, and snap on tightly. The connection joints feel even tighter than previous releases, especially at the wrists.

The sculpt work here is great, with some outstanding character specific details throughout. The figure uses a mix of plastic and soft vinyl pieces to give a great range of motion. Much of his upper body is hidden by a soft uwagi (gi jacket/shirt), which is removable. The belt is held in by a small pin and can be popped off to allow the uwagi to be removed. This is an especially nice touch as Heihachi features a prominent chest scar which is nicely sculpted here. The included portraits are very well done, with three very different expressions, and each working perfectly with the included hands to give you some really good display options. The screaming head wound up being a personal favorite. Storm also did a notable job on the paint deco. The flesh has a natural tone to it, with subtle transitional work to give it a lifelike appearance. Give a close look at the face, and you’ll even see liver spots painted in. Each area has crisp and clean paint lines separating things like the hair, eyes and mouth. The outfit has a nice mix of paint washes over it that brings out the strong texture work of the sculpt.

The Heihachi figure is another top notch release from Storm Collectibles. With a stellar sculpt, excellent range of motion and great paint work, this is great way to kick off the Tekken license. Check out some highlight pics below and the full gallery after that.

    Fantastic pictures as always. Ryu was my first Storm Collectibles figure and I thought it was fantastic. Got a Mortal Kombat Reptile, and got my Heihachi last week. Hot damn I hope they do more Tekken figures. I know variants wont be as plentiful as Street Fighter or MK cuz Tekken has full on alternate costumes, not just color changes. They could do so many Tekken figures and rereleases with other costumes. I need Paul, and maybe some random characters, like Gon and a beach ball from Tekken 3, pipe dream I know.

    Geez, Heihachi come out amazing. The hair, the scar, the tiger head on the back of his gi...it's pretty much a perfect representation of him, aside from the one smiling head sculpt, which just looks kinda weird.

    What other Tekken figures are in the works? Any chance of a Nina Williams?

    You and I always seem to be on the same page.

    I need a Nina. I would like a King too, but most designs I like the older stuff. Fingers crossed they do not do a wedding dress Nina, I really just want her in her purple and black outfit.

    We saw Kazuya at Toy Fair. So far, he and Heihachi are the only 2 revealed.

    I'm really hoping that we see Asuka and King in the future. With the articulation these have, they lend themselves really well to wrestling characters.

    Panda and Kuma would be the bees knees as well.

    With Storm cornering the market on fighting game action figures, I'm really hoping that we see an announcement of the Virtua Fighter license at SDCC.

    This figure is bad ass and long overdue. Jin and Devil Jin are rumored to be next...

    Thank you. Gon would be awesome, but likely requires a 2nd license. My personal hopes are the full Mishima and Kazuya family, Paul, Law, Yoshimitsu, and the Williams sisters.
