There are a lot of Ryu's out there at the moment but being an Alpha 2 and MvC fan, this was the only one for me. Excellent sculpt, great and smooth articulation, and you can even balance his hadoken effect in his hands without the stand (with a wee bit of finagling). If I had any criticism it would only be that whereas Ken came with fists, hadoken hands and both a V sign hand and beckoning finger hand, poor old Ryu only has his fists and hadoken hands. But for the quality and the price, you can't really complain, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the Alpha 3 crew.
Finally, I'll also mention the excellent service from the Storm UK store - they got him in hand and shipped out brilliantly fast. I've been enjoying this for a month now while folks who ordered from other places are still ages away from receiving theirs.
