Nice one Mark! The way the head is cocked does indeed look like the V-reversal. Hopefully MM it is!

I love the Ultra line idea more than just about any line from PCS.
Action poses are my thing.

2 things are needed for me though especially if this will look how I suspect.
1. Less adherence to vertical poses that lend themselves to the narrow diameter pedestals. The pedestal design is great but using a small circle seems to necessitate awkward poses to fit. If any of these lean a bit it will be a spectacular failure for PCS.

2. More planned releases of characters! The above comment not withstanding a Classic Ken Shoryuken with flames is begging to be done in this line.

It's been too long since Cammy and for me she was a weak link. I ordered 2 versions based on the character alone and now I'm not thrilled about doing that. I'd love to use the Ultra line and 1/3s to get my fix for revisits of the classic characters. I have the Ansatsuken Ryu and it just isn't making me happy.

His left arm is definitely raised, as his middle deltoids are contracted. His arms are not at his hips in the sculpture as shown.

When Zangief does his V-Reversal, he flexes a bit.

Yeah, I thought about that.
It's tricky with the angle of the photo. We never see that side of his v-reversal. Or from that angle - looking up from below, can definitely make the shouder/delts look raised higher.
Plus tweaks to make him buffer / more tense muscles possibly?
I'm for sure not ruling it out as it makes a very probable museum pose.

I also have the lariat pose. But the only time he has his mouth open and beard flat against his chest is a normal lariat performed during v-trigger. So he'd hae to be red. Unless they do a regular skin version...not such a big deal I guess.

What are your suggestions? Can you find a photo?

Very Interested... Zangief was my first SF statue years ago. Waitlist conversion from the SS newsletter and I've been hooked on this line since. Can't wait for the full reveal. I'm thinking Ultra line? If so, I'm curious how tall/wide the base would be. Ultra line is due for another PO, IMO....

Wasn't Cammy technically in her V-Trigger?

Even the direction of his bicep is pointed upward. If his arms are at his sides it would be some wonky anatomy. I'm trying to get a screen shot from a vid now.

For sure. I hope he's huge ata full 1/4 Ultra to satisfy all the nay sayers that the previous MM was small and to help show support for larger characters.
