The renowned Hong Kong action figure brand "Storm Collectibles," known for releasing products based on characters from SNK's famous fighting game "The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match" (KOF98'UM), will be releasing the famous villainous boss character "Geese Howard" as part of its 1/12 scale action figure series! It is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023.
"Geese Howard" (officially known in Chinese as '傑斯・侯活') is the final boss of SNK's famous 2D fighting game "Fatal Fury." He is the sworn enemy who killed the father of protagonists Terry and Andy Bogard. Possessing formidable martial arts skills, his moves such as Reppuken (Gale Fist), Raigou Reppuken (Lightning Whirlwind Kick), Rashomon, and Atemi Nage (Heavenly Net) are all extremely powerful special techniques. Geese is one of the most popular villain characters, and therefore, even though he is canonically dead in the story, he frequently makes guest appearances in many games. Not only in SNK titles, but he even joined Bandai Namco's "Tekken 7," demonstrating his immense charisma.
This Geese figure from Storm Collectibles is also 1/12 scale, maintaining the series' consistent standard of articulation. In terms of design, it features his common battle attire: a classic look with a gi for the upper body and red hakama for the lower body. Additionally, interchangeable accessories allow for a shirtless appearance, with muscle scars and contours meticulously reproduced. As for accessories, in addition to interchangeable head sculpts and hand parts, it also includes the familiar Reppuken (Gale Fist) effect part, and an effect part for his ultimate move, Atemi Nage (Heavenly Net), making poses even more imposing.
