The Raging Demon

Gouki, also known as Akuma, is an iconic character from Street Fighter. He first burst into the scene in Super Street Fighter 2 and was introduced as a demonic villain who killed the master of Ryu and Ken. His signature move, the “Raging Demon”, was not only devastatingly powerful, but also just ridiculously epic and cool, hehe. Anyway, we’ve been planning on buying good 1/6th scale figures of our favorite characters from Street Fighter and the good news is it looks like we finally have a manufacturer who knows what they’re doing. This 1/6th scale figure of Gouki is made by KidsLogic and it simply blows the smaller figures from Play Arts Kai out of the water!

Here’s a scene of from the anime Street Fighter Alpha where Ryu gets to meet Gouki.

Creepily powerful. Hehe.

Imposing and Overbearing Figure

KidsLogic made the right call when they made Gouki terrifyingly ripped and muscled. The slightly oversized head combined with the massive broad shoulders makes the figure very imposing and overbearing. Standing a little less than 12 inches tall, the KidsLogic Gouki towers over the smaller Akuma from Play Arts Kai. If you’ll notice in the picture above the proportion is also much better (size of body parts compared to over-all body size) for KidsLogic. For some reason the head of Akuma in Play Arts looks so small.

The body is made from PVC material while the Gouki’s Gui is actually made from real cloth. Even the belt is made from what feels like rope (probably synthetic though). We had to pull down a bit on the lower leg section of his pants though since it rode up a bit when we first got the figure out of the box.

Talk about ripped!

The figure has two hand alternate pegs. The first set is the closed fist which you can use for punching and just looking bad-ass. The second set has both hands open. You can actually use this particular set for poses with Raging Demon and even Hadoken.

Yep he even has his bead necklace!

For accessories the figure just comes with two. There’s the iconic beaded necklace and secondly Gouki also comes with his own sandals. You’ll have to put them on when you take the figure out of the box since he’s initially barefoot.

Great Level of Detail and Articulation

The level of detail in this figure is also quite remarkable. For the body we see the veins popping out. For the head sculpt we have Gouki’s horrifying yellow/black eyes. By the way, an awesome feature of this figure is that the eyes actually have LED lights. This is battery powered and you can turn it on by pressing a button at the back of the figure’s head (remove hair).

His eyes light up. Woot. Battery powered.

Sheer awesomeness right? Hehe.

The figure also has a good number of articulation points. It’s easy to pose him in his familiar fighting moves like Shoryuken, Hadoken, Hurricane Kick, and even his Raging Demon stance. For the hard-to-stand poses you can use the base with a flexible rod and body hook to keep the figure in the air.

I dunno if he's dancing here or if he's trying to do a Raging Demon, hehe.

Based on our first few hours with the figure you can pretty much pose it however you want. You can probably go through his entire moves list in Street Fighter 4 and you can copy everything, hehe.

Great Value for Money for Street Fighter Fans

If you’re a Street Fighter fan who happens to be a toy collector, Gouki from KidsLogic is a no-brainer. The level of detail, articulation, body proportion, and head sculpt are all topnotch. The price is also very fair and competitive since most 1/6th scale figures fetch for more than Php10,000 these days.
