Action Figure #671: Jada Toys Street Fighter II Blanka

 And now, the fake Brazilian.

 And alongside Sagat we got Blanka as another slightly more expensive, deluxe release. This is another larger figure that comes in another larger box, you just love to see it!
 Here we have another fantastic, entirely new sculpt for Blanka. They really brought the guy to plastic
 life here, since not only does he get very detailed muscles and body hair, but I also loved the attention to detail with his anklets, being painted to look like worn iron. He comes with a neutral head, an angry head, with a lower overbite just as it looks in the game, two fists, two open grabby hands and two large electricity effects. As per usual, the figure feels very solid, unlike Marvel Legends.
 His long hair was made as a two layered, hollow soft plastic set that helps maintain head articulation and not make his head too heavy. Not a bad idea!
 Articulation is as fantastic as always. Butterfly joints, double jointed elbows and knees, a ball jointed waist, a ball jointed ab crunch, bicep swivels, thigh swivels, hidden by his shorts, and ankle swivels that are cut in a way that his leg hair is always on the front. Smart! While not as tall as Sagat, he is taller than Bucky Cap.
 Y'know the drill, another epic action figure by Jada. Great sculpt, great articulation, and, even better, great plastic!
