I have her and it exists.
Okay Starfire something something alien something something Force marriage something something she loves Dick... Grayson, something something skimpy outfits for superpowers something.
And of course she's overdressed... because sexism or soggy knees... I keep forgetting that this toy line was made for a little girls and skimpy outfits are a no no.
Articulation
Theoretically speaking the articulation is similar to the other superhero girls action figures. But the problem is that Starfire has a rather large skrt. The funny thing is that the script is made in segments so it can allow for more articulation range, but they glued the skirt shut.

paint and sculpt:
The sculpt is very similar to the style of other is super hero girls action figures and for a softer girl toyline it works. While minimal the paint applications are very effective here.

Accessories:
unimpressive energy blast

Overall
Starfire gets a 3.17 as her final score. I'm surprised she scored that high. She had the potential to become a kick-ass action figure despite being a superhero girls figure but... Mattel.
I need something more manly to wash down this Advent calendar entry...
Something with Discipline, Justice, Commitment!
Nah... gimme something more Guile...
God damn it Spike you know that the only Street Fighter live action movie things you can post are M.Bison references or Zangief quick change the channel!!
Now THIS GOES WITH EVERYTHING!!
GUILE: Air Force Major, hellbent in avenging his fallen brother in arms, Charles Nash, Charlie, as Guile used to call him. Guile was introduced in Street Fighter 2 and this toy is based on that iteration.
Articulation:
His articulation is Similar to the one in other storm Collectibles Street Fighter figures. Almost every post that dial can make in the game he can do with the figure although some poses require a stand that is not included here. The closest thing to a nit pick would be that some extreme poses can reveal the insides of the figure.

Paint and sculpt
by the way these figures are not exactly compatible with Street Fighter V figures since they change the scale. The sculpt is supposedly inspired by the original Street Fighter 2 artwork and game sprites. Well I can see some resemblance it's not super mega faithful to the game. his abdominal sculpt kind of looks like he has a bit of a beer belly. Other than that he's the best Guile representation in plastic. The Street Fighter 4 inspired guile by Neca looks a bit too caveman-ish for my tastes. And the Sota guile is too tiny to use with the storm Collectibles figures.

Overall
Guile gets a 4.67 as his final score. I got to be honest some minor nitpicks like the sculpt and the too light green paint in addition to the awkwardness in the torso of articulation damage score a little bit... but my main complaint is the changing sculpt between both lines (sfv and usfii)
Storm Collectibles is very far off from completing any of these rosters and at $85 a big plus shipping and handling I'm seeing a decrease in amount of collectors getting them.
Don't get me wrong at their price there a better deal than figuarts in the amount of stuff that they come with and size.

| Bison: AND THE FLASH KICK!? |
But since they are not compatible with Street Fighter 5 Collectors who started getting Street Fighter 5 are back to square one in collecting Street Fighter figures. Meanwhile see you Arts has over half of the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo roster.
Guile being taller than Street Fighter 5 Ryu doesn't bother me that much since Guile is supposed to be taller than Ryu in the first place... but him being a bit taller than M.Bison bothers me.
