Bro-Ken?

[Rokdweller]

I have a question for Ken owners... I purchased a Ken statue and while handling noticed something felt slightly loose at the top of one leg. Upon inspection I saw what appeared to be a break where the leg meets the hip, but almost looked like a seam between to pieces. You would almost never notice it as his pants cover this area. I was convinced this was a break until I purchased a second Ken statue only to find the same thing. So, was it manufactured this way or is it in fact broken?

seam

[Big Hulk]

Ha! I opened this up and the first thing I saw was your finger pointing at Ken's man parts! It doesn't look broken though.

[Atheris]

LoL I like the title

Looks broken to me. It seems to uneven to be a seam.

Mine it's the same ways so it's normal even Ryu it's that way

[Rokdweller]

Thanks all, a big relief! A bit disappointing though, I just figured the body would be a single piece and never imagined there would be seams beneath the clothing. Are Ken and Ryu the only two like this?

Statue molestor!u probably picked him up in a white van on his way to school.


Lol smart title btw!

They are all made like that. I have both EX and reg.

If it was one piece, how do you think the factory would put his pants on?

no it is not broken , any modeler or painter would easily recognize what this is,
when the sculpt is done usually they cant mold the whole piece together so they have to cut it,and while assembly and painting ,they dont find the time or bother to fix this issue since it is under cloth, so wouldnt matter while display since it is supposed to be displayed dressed, on the contrary there is something nice about PCS Ryu (but not guile) that at least you can see a sculpted leg and some others you dont see a leg sculpted at all like in a lot of premium formats from sideshow, i really ask them to find the time to fix these little things, well it DOES matter to us

Its the only way to get the pants on.

Appreciate the clarification. Love this line! I'm pretty new to collecting and have focused solely on this SF collection. They are a great representation of the characters. I enjoyed many hours of playing SF II with my kids so these are pretty special. Thanks… Keep ‘em coming!! :thumbs2:

would you kindly explain why is that !!
i believe that if you remove ryu from the base , the pants will go on and off so easily
your explanation would be appreciated

[Andrew]

Ryu and Ken cannot be removed from the base as they are glued in. Zangief was the first character that was detached from the base.

Kens legs are splayed

[Ryu]

Adding the adhesive to the base to secure the figure should be done lastly. It can be tedious but it's possible to have the legs seamless. It would have to be done by hand, though.

you are reading my mind ryu, i wanted to mention your ryu statue for an example, and to clarify that the statues can be done no doubt seamless, and the production didnt really care about this since he will be dressed, and about the gluing issue , for sure it can be done after he is dressed, or at least make the cut more properly not in the middle of the thigh like this ,i love PCS and i say this only to ameliorate their production and leave no place to critic
