Something I grabbed off of Facebook Marketplace - the S.H. Figuarts Street Fighter Sagat figure.. no packaging or inserts, but complete.
I honestly don't understand what both Bandai AND Storm are doing. The SF license is basically a money making machine, and both of these companies have/had it, but even to this day neither company has anything even close to a full roster, though I guess technically Storm is closer to completion. Both companies do have a Sagat, but from a value proposition perspective Storm destroys what you get from Bandai, even if the sticker price is greater.
Figuarts Sagat comes with very few accessories - you get the figure, two heads, a pair of open palms, a pair of fists, a Tiger Shot effect, a base/stand for said effect with a choice of high or low position, and if the set were complete, a cardboard backdrop.
Size aside, one of the biggest complaints about the figure is the skin tone. It really is strangely orange as compared pretty much any piece of artwork I've ever seen.
The aesthetics of the figure is consistent in that it's a strange combination of anime and official artwork.
The articulation I wouldn't say is any worse than than the other figures in the line, which are generally quite good. Shoulders aren't really equipped to cross, though curiously shoulders can be raised. Sagat features ball joints where the traditional thigh swivels are, so you actually get a bit of play.
The biggest thing that hurts the figure articulation wise is the lack of true extreme lower body articulation. More so than other figures because Sagat actually needs better crouching/knee joints for his crouch poses. A good example would be his Tiger Shot, which isn't even close to to what it ought to be, so much so that Bandai included a stand for the Tiger Shot effect at this particular height.
Paint and Build are the standard Figuarts level
