Didn't realize Jin was up too.
Does he have soft rubber pants?
Those look to be soft rubber pants...? Why the hell would they do that?
Well, here's to hoping they make a Devil Jin with normal legs so I can just kitbash on those legs for a Tekken 3-esque Jin with functional leg articulation.
Surprisingly King doesn't look awful, just cheap in a Mattel WWE way. I think Jin looks like the best one so far.
I take back what I said about not having to shock oil up Kazuya and Heihachi. My son who has most of the Bandai Naruto figures pointed out that one of Kazuya's arms and both of Heihachi's were squeaking, although it was pretty minor. Still went ahead and shock oiled them even though it was probably slight enough not to have to.
Jin Kazama supposedly releases any day now. Amazon's release date is today, but he isn't in stock yet.
Not sure but the my card just got charged from something on Amazon which lines up with the Tekken fig prices. Maybe Jin?
I have so far Kazuya and Heihachi. No complaints on the joints and artic. I do however have to criticize the sculpts. The figures are good but not great IMO. I’ve always preferred the Tekken games over Street Fighter so I would loved to have been all in but there is something lacking in this line for me. I’ll see how Jin and King turn out to reserve final judgment whether I continue this line or not.

I feel the same way. The articulation is quite awesome, but the paint and sculpt are pretty bland. They're really good for the price point though.
And yes, Jin released today so you got charged for him.
@enigmaticclarity Actually, The price is a point of contention for me as well. I bought Kaz and Hei on Amazon for $26.99. Not sure if that’s the msrp and it’s supposed to be $24.99. However, at 26.99, I expect pinless joints or better sculpt and paint. If I don’t see any changes to my liking after King, i cannot in good conscience continue to support this line. And I really do love Tekken.

I didn't see anyone selling them at $24.99. BBTS is selling them at $29.99, and EE is selling them at $27.99.
Finally cracked open Jin. He is a decent figure. Again my bias against the soft face sculpts and lack of paint still hurt this line for me. His face is good but it doesn’t really remind me of Jin. His arms have pinless joints unlike Hei and Kaz. Surprisingly enough, his leg artic is pretty good. I thought the rubber pants was one piece but it is not. The crotch piece is separate from the pants legs you can move his legs just as good as the other two figures. The bending knees are not a problem either. I would have preferred if t pants were sculpted but this kinda works. I just don’t know how long this material will last after excessive posing. Jin can also hold a higher angle ax kick pose than Kazuya too.
Got Jin yesterday. A bit better than the first two. I'm also skeptical of how long those thin, rubbery pants last, but for however long they last they're great.
That's a damn relief. I hope they don't continue this direction with any possible future figures, but... I'm less aversed to buying Jin at the very least.
King from this line is now available. I should have mine later this week or next week.
Those modern designs are very busy, and this line just doesn’t seen to have the budget to pull them off.
I’d be excited for some of my mains and the more colorful characters, but I dont love Tekken enough to pay for okay characters I have little connection to. I’ll buy Law (Forest or Marshall), Lei, Michelle, Gon, Alex, and Jack.
I’ve had King for a few days now. My favorite Tekken character and yet I’m in no rush to open him until the weekend Game Dimension Tekken figures is having that effect on me. Just not making me too excited. But then again it could also be the fact that I’m just overwhelmed with all these Joe and Wolverine Legends releases the past few days as well. Lol.
