Just want to "nicely" point out that it is not the 30th anniversary of Street Fighter II as that game came out in 1991, it is the 30th anniversary of the franchise itself, as the first game just titled Street Fighter came out in 1987. In that game the player can only be either Ryu or Ken.

There is a pre-order campaign goal as well. If 3000 are ordered through Takara Tomy Mall, the figure stands (seen below on the show floor) will be included with the sets.

That's not what the campaign was. The campaign was that the first 3,000 orders would get the stand if they could reach it by 11/27.



The campaign ended on 11/26 when they reached the goal. All orders placed after that don't come with the stand as it now states on the order pages. "This product "Dedicated display stand" is not included."

The best is Chun-Li, by far.

I'm cool with the crossover concept. It's a wacky, ultimately fun crossover. But damn... the size class choices are way off for Ryu & M Bison (Vega), they should be in Deluxe class. Big guys likes of Honda, Blanka & Zangrief should be Voyagers if they decide to do it. If they don't need to stick to TR, Honda can use the Bulkhead mold from TF:Prime. Blanka can use Generations Rhinox's mold? TF: Prime's FE Starscream is almost perfect for Dhalsim.

So much possibilities... just thinking which mold through the ages best fits for which SFII character can be a ton of fun.

Too bad this crossover line probably won't last more than a year this it's an anniversary celebration special. Thus, not much more than these 4 characters.

I'd have to disagree on Blanka. Screw the size classes, at least in this case, I can't help but feel like Quillfire's mold would be PERFECT for Blanka.

Apparently this video was on loop at Tokyo Comic Con?!

That was pretty darn cool.

That is pretty dang cool. Dat Bison The more of these I see, the more I want them. I'm equal parts upset and glad there hasn't been any more characters announced. If they were being sold individually packed I might be in the troubles, so far the 2 pack price has kept me at bay

Saw that video on their Twitter account. They also posted this still from the video that gets me all kinds of excited:

Never saw Blanka as a large character from the way he was always huddled/scrunched up but I figure beast wars Retrax/powerhug could work for his cannon ball attack o.O
& if not fatimus prime for E Honda, alternators/binaltech skids or blaster would work. My wallet is hoping this line is limited to the four figures.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Wait wait wait... I thought Ken was Hot Rod, not Rodimus Convoy.

I'm sticking with Quillfire because he also has a hunched posture,plus a beastly head with pointy teeth, and the quills sticking out of his back give a similar effect to Blanka's hair.




Am I crazy, or would this basically be perfect?

[molleking]

Not crazy. That's what I've been thinking, too.

It would if either toy looked like his animation model. Unfortunately, Quillfire is less than accurate to his onscreen model.

Warrior Class


One-Step



I also doubt they'd dip into RID molds for this line.

Yeah, that's the part that I'll admit actually kills this idea. (that and the unlikeliness of them making more of these things in the first place.) Non-g1 stuff does generally seem to be regarded as disposable filler by the current powers-that-be.

So apparently "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection" game comes out in May as well so I guess the release date makes sense. The collection looks amazing, too. Going to be spending a lot on SF in May.
