Probably confirms and explains how D is using the Blackwall, but time will only tell I guess. Could be something completely different and it just so happens to look like the biochip.

It is interesting that this exist since I believe the Biochip in the game was a one of a kind. I'm honestly curious what this one could be.

Part of the reason why i never continued was the lack of a resin 3d printer. Very choppy using a regular 3d printer and also 3d modeling isn't my best. I used a blender model as a base and made the parts from there.

First off I wanna say her are smooth feel like butter. Never had a figure who’s legs moved like that. Unfortunately because of that using her kicking effect causes her leg to fall.

Figure is pretty nice looking and for the most part had really good range. The only issues I have with it is the long neck. I think 5kToys or someone announced they were making shorter neck pegs that I'll probably get. The shoulders felt like there was less range than the Outfit 1 figure at first, but after playing around with it I think it's fine. The paint job is pretty clean too.

I think the heads are okay, but they'd definitely could be better.

I do find it neat and interesting they included a mirrored version of the Outfit 1 kicking effect. I guess if you want a right leg kicking effect get this figure or if you want the left leg kicking effect get the Outfit 1 figure.

I think both this and SHF figures are pretty close and similar to each other. I'm leaning towards the 52Toys though since the more skirt options and the shoulders are seamlessly connected to each other with no gaps when moved around.

Wanted to do headseaps with the SHF, but I don't wanna break their neck pegs.

God I love Chunners

I could've just swapped the lower arms and the leg like everyone else, but I didn't like how that look, so I just ended up cracking the torso and swap the pieces that way.

Closer inspection on the upper torso I notice the OLK isn't all that different from the design of the Born Again figure. They really could've added the same butterfly articulation.

I made his collar from his under shirt with fabric.

It's most likely the way I shaved it, but it's just so funny how sad he looks without the beard. At certain angles and fron a far it looks good. I hope when we eventually get a BND Punisher figure they some how fix the sadness face.

I genuinely thought it was a rerelease of the Retro Deluxe Ironman figure. Maybe I do have a reason to pick it up now.

Had my hopes up for a better Juri Han figure. It's just pens.

I know going off by the trailer isn't much and I haven't seen S2 Episode 1 early.

Just want to point out season 1 had many moments with similar red lightning effects and FYI I haven't done another rewatch in a while, but the images I attached are just the notable scenes I remember and both were by Lucy, but there's probably more. Don't remember if Kiwi had any similar hacking scenes.

I included some in game images of the Blackwall being used because I wanted to show how it looks very different to what we've seen in the S2 trailer. Now notice something missing in the anime that's present in the game? Blackwall residue. I think that's what it's called anyways. For V when they have either Erebus or the Militech Canto Mk.6 the residue doesn't really linger, but throughout the Phantom Liberty story you will see Songbird leaves the residue pretty much everywhere she's hacking or using the Blackwall to hack.

Someone will probably bring up that Reed said V could only see the residue since they were linked with Songbird, but I'm gonna be honest that'd be disappointing for the viewers who's never played the DLC if the anime is following that rule. Also if D did have Blackwall we'd definitely would see it considering he's one of our main characters and we'll more than likely spend a lot of time in his and the rest of the crew's perspective. I also think keeping the residue in the anime aesthetic would look crazy visually and fit really nice in with the art style.

I'm not saying I don't want to see the Blackwall in season 2 in fact I think it'd be cool to see it explored more since the Blackwall is technically still a mystery in the series and it may or may not answer questions or give us more questions.

Rogue did a silent cameo, Wakako made a voice cameo, and obviously Adam Smasher in the finale of S1.

Seeing how Roman Carax is a media person and judging from the trailer we just got, it takes place in the Watson district, so it make sense to see Regina Jones. If not her maybe Bes Isis (Nancy Hartley)

Since we'll see Maelstrom too and depending when the season takes place I think we could see Brick or Royce or Patricia show up.

Personally I want to see El Capitán (Muamar Reyes). Guy is my favorite fixer and he knew the S1 crew.

I didn't realized they made the green brighter and I don't know where my original Tournament Lloyd mask went. I know it's minor but it genuinely bothers me every time I look at it.

I could be crazy and this always was like this

Lets get this out the way first. Yes, the ankles are still red because i tried sanding, painting, and sealing and they'd still rub off so I'm gonna try and see if I can find some yellow wrist pegs or whatever they're called and use those instead. If you know where to find some send it my way.

Probably one of the easiest customs I've done. Slowly making my 1/12 scale Justice League. Don't know who I should do next maybe Green Lantern. Which one? Idk probably John Stewart or maybe Hal Jordan since he's usually best buds with Barry.

Debating if I want to paint the belt or not.

Gave Wu one since I remembered I had the sushi guy from the CMF. Zane's custom made by me. Made a whole other post talking about that.

How much time did I shorten for Hasbro to release a new black attire Magik.

Took the spikes of tge original arm and put it on the secret wars version. I like how it is right now but maybe I'll paint it with a gun metal black or silver later.

Swapped the heads, but didn't glue the hair on since I do like how the new one looks and the old one just allows more range.

Took right arm from Ms. Marvel. Would've gave her a black shoulder but I don't have any in my fodder bin and did not wanna paint over that skin tone molded shoulder.

Sanded the areas where the leg ball legs are to have more range and to not scrape the paint on the thighs.

I gotta say I do think this figure is better than the Amazing Yamaguchi posing wise. It doesn't feel like I'm gonna break it with an exception around the ankles. Those ankles feel like they will break very easily. The articulation around the legs aren't so janky like on the Yamaguchi and they feel like there's more range with them. The skirt piece is so much better than how Yamaguchi did theirs. I would've prefer a wired cloth piece, but the way they engineered the skirt with a soft plastic piece that wraps around the waist ball peg is just miles better than the two piece peg together dress system Yamaguchi did.

Proportion wise it's more accurate to what you see in game and for scales it blends nicely with other 1/12 scale figures.

Here's where I'd say the reason why I'm debating which I like more and it's the paint/detail on the figure. The promos and in hand images looked great for the heads, but the paint work just isn't as good as I was expecting. I think the better sculpt work on the Yamaguchi body makes the paint details pop out much better than the 52Toys version. The sculpt work is fine on that figure, but they don't pop out as much as on the Yamaguchi.

I am surprised you can head swap them, so if you thought the Yamaguchi head was small or just the faces better then you can definitely swap them with ease.

So far I like what I've gotten and hope to see what more 52Toys does in the future. It's good to have another Street Fighter action figure competitor other than Jada, Storm, and maybe SHF in the market. Also it just allows more options to choose from.

Used a bootleg hair piece since I didn't wanna ruin an official one, but might consider redoing it with an official one. Wanna redo since the putty I used was just too hard to work with especially in this small scale and I just have a better idea what to do different now.

Might do the redesign hair, but not sure though since I'm not really a fan of it.

I know Cole is missing his and I have one on the way so team should be complete with their headbands soon.
