Well, it appears that I was wrong… and right. Storm Collectibles’ new Akuma action figure IS based on his classic look… from the nostalgic costume add-ons for Street Fighter V!

Called Arcade Akuma, this 7-inch tall figure features newly developed articulations for the lower body and a new-design for the upper chest. He can shrug off the gi top of his classic costume and go shirtless. Look for the figure this July.

The figure set includes: 

• 3 x Interchanging Head Sculpts 
• 8 x Interchanging Palm 
• 1 x Gohadoken Effect 
• 2 x V-Trigger Effect – Dohatsu Shoten 
• 1 x Stand for Gohadoken
• 1 x The Prayer Beads
• Additional 神人 “Shin” kanji Gi
