Clearer Images of Takara Tomy Transformers X Street Fighter II Figures

Posted by Va'al Nov 21, 2017 at 5:30pm CST 22,173 views
Fellow Seibertronians steals_your_goats and Sammythekat have reached out to us with some additional, clearer images (though not that much in resolution) of the Transformers X Street Fighter II figures that we cover in our previous news story here!

As you can see in the image below, we finally get a clearer look at Ken's Takara Tomy Legends Hot Rod reuse (plus the Hasbro Titans Return guns), and the Titan Master does indeed remain the same just with a new paint job, highlighting those trademark luscious eyebrows and golden locks, and how the set including him and Arcee as Chun-Li will see a May 2018 release for a current price of 8640 Yen (76 USD at the time of writing). As for the M.Bison vs Ryu set, on the other hand, the price is 12960 Yen, or approximately 115 USD. We should be finding out more about pre-orders and details for the four figures in December, so stay tuned!

Covered in the original post, dear :)

And those sets will indeed be TakaraTomy Mall exclusives, according to the very end of the page.

I didn't even realize this was on the bucket list of things that might be cool to get. This has been checked off the list now!

Via a notification from fellow Seibertronian Albatross250, we found the original source of a batch of original images for the recently revealed Transformers X Street Fighter II figures - and we didn't have to go far, as it's indeed via TakaraTomyMall! The listings show both sets as originally reported on our previous newspost here, including the same price of around 115 USD for the Bison (Vega in Japan, as we first pointed out) and Ryu set, and 76 USD for the Chun Li vs Ken set, but also include a whole lot more images, from the Titan Masters in both head and tiny robot mode, the various alt modes for all four figures, and some new added fight positions, including the Hadouken, Shoryuken, and Chun-Li's Hyakuretsu Kyaku and Spinning Bird Kick, and if you squint with your imagination, Bison's Psycho Crusher, too.

In addition to all that, we also have another pre-order campaign goal, with a threshold of 3000 for the figure stands to be included with the sets. Images also included below, so take a look!

Hm ... even odder is that Arcee is the Generations version and not the Titans Return version to go with the other figures. Hm.

So, Vega/Bison, now that you possess a giant tank/jet/robot body, are you going to use it to take over the world?

I never understood the big fascination with Street Fighter, probably because I was more of a Mortal Kombat guy.

That being said ... Chunli does look pretty impressive.

Now I need them to do Zangeef as Broadside so I can have him be like "QUICK, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!"

Speaking of Chun-Li, that is the only toy I would have deduced was street fighter themed if these pics were presented to me without context. I would not have thought of that for the rest.

I'm not gonna lie, but I'm going to take a hard pass on this. I'm not a big fan of Transformers tying in with other media.

I will say, though, that Arcee as Chun-Li works AMAZINGLY well.

I'm more into Killer Instinct and One Must Fall ;)

And someone knows his way around Street Fighter. Impressive!

Ditto on the pass. The idea is cute, and Arcee looks like Chun Li, but there's something really creepy about transformers using flesh tones the way they're doing it here. Like, the human colored faces and hands, combined with Technicolor everything else using a robot aesthetic gives it all a really uncanny valley effect.

I might try and get that Ryu so I can use it as a generations version of Thunderclash
