Transformers X Street Fighter II Figures on Display at Tokyo Comic Con 2017

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.

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.

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.

That was pretty darn cool.

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

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

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

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.

Thanks to site sponsor Robot Kingdom over on their official Facebook page, we have a series of packaging images of the Takara Tomy Transformers Transformers X Street Fighter II Figures, for both the Ken vs Chun Li set and the Ryu vs Vega set, respectively using the Titans Return Hot Rod and Generations Arcee figures as base mold, and the Titans Return G2 Optimus Prime and Megatron Voyager molds.

Check them out below, and let us know your thoughts on this bizarre crossover in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

It's nice to see them boxed in action poses but Bison(Vega/Megatron/Blitzwing....) feels like it should have been a different pose rather than exposing hollow arms. Mine are definitely being opened and on display, not sure if I'll keep the boxes or bin them to free up space yet.
