Ryu is THE opener for any subline, and Nash I'd consider as the second of the three "main characters" of the Alpha series (third being Sakura), so both make sense. I'd just rather have seen one of the ladies new to Alpha than Chun-Li. Sakura and R. Mika have fairly proven popularity given the...

Transcript of the relevant bit: "Um, hopefully uh it's kinda early to say, um, we've been working on these for a while, but since we've started there's been a lot of like similar product out on the market. So, I'm not sure it's productive to duplicate what's already out there. So depending on...

I feel it's a bit different for Jada's case, as they've already given a full USFII roster. They can afford to slow down on variants of the heavy hitters, and I think they should. We'll probably get at least one USFII character every wave, though. I wonder if the starting rosters/total overlap...

Well, it's Chun-Li and barely different in appearance from the Storm Arena one. The prospect of what next wave could be is infinitely more exciting than anything this wave is. Edit: Just adding the reveal here

Oh, in this case I'm talking about the prototypes we've seen of Alpha Chun-Li for the Arena line. I think Taki and Mai were a bit messy, I didn't like Blue Mary much either, and Morrigan was a bit... nah. But Arena's Morrigan, Lilith, and Chun-Li I think look overall great and have improved a...

I'd say their Storm Arena Morrigan and Lilith both look really damn good, and Chun-Li has improved a lot from the two times we've seen her.

We have the kinda ugly old SOTA figure, and the SH Figuarts. Both go for way too much on the aftermarket, so I'd just wait. With both Storm and Jada focusing down on Alpha 3, we are absolutely going to get one or two new Sakura figures announced within the next year or two.

52toys, they've announced Ryu, Chun-Li, and classic SF6 Chun-Li so far.

We have FOUR companies doing 1/12 Street Fighter now. Two doing Alpha 3 and two doing 6, with both pairs having almost 100% overlap so far not counting the two companies that are ahead. I don't see the current SF6 companies continuing past Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Juri. (If they do, give me...

Nash is the most disappointing next announcement they could have had for this wave, given Storm Arena. I want Cody the most, but I'm predicting the third pick will be Gen. Maybe Adon.

It was surreal hearing them talk about Glenn Danzig at the SDCC panel. Jubilee is great though, happy to have that costume finally. I'll need someone to make a custom head to make her into a comic vampire Jubilee, though. Starfox is overdue, Champion is cool, shame the Magus leak was incorrect...

They look fine, I'm happy to see Jada upping their game with the joints (especially with companies like Storm Arena becoming strong competition), but Invincible is the best comic I've read to have no memorable characters. I guess I'll buy Thragg, he's pretty funny. I do wish it were comic...

I could think of maybe 20 characters I'd be happy to buy as figures, but I'd be vaguely content with Dragon (one with tanktop, another with uniform), Paul, Malcolm, and Kurr. Maybe in some bizarre future where it gets an animated adaptation, we can get a full line!

The first four characters I went "Oh, we are SO getting those in 1/12" at the announcement of this toyline were Madman, Savage Dragon, Grendel, and Cassie Hack. Crazy we're already halfway through that list!

The Rose would be great, and ofc all other leads from Moorcock works, but I honestly don't know how you'd make a pleasing Arioch figure. I know he's had designs in comics, but he's much more powerful as that amorphous presence from the books... he would be better represented by an ambience...

I know it probably will be, but I'm really hoping that the "beloved franchise" they're announcing tomorrow is referring to something other than Invincible. Can't wait to see what we do get shown off, though!

I LOVE their Elric, though I do hope they follow it up with an Elric in a Whelan-esque outfit (that's more what I think of him wearing in the usual stories, anyways) as well as Moonglum and some other characters like Yyrkoon, Rackhir, and Oone. God that throne diorama is sexy. I'll be ordering...

Wait, we meant Scooby dressed as Dracula and not Dracula from Scooby-Doo? Well... In that case, let's get a deluxe release Scooby that comes with a bunch of dress-up accessories. Dracula mask and cape, knight helmet for his goofy ass head to poke out of, etc.

And I'll be the other "that guy". Which Scooby-style Dracula? Out of the classic cartoons, we got a LOT of distinct looks. I think a bunch of them would be quite fun as figures.

I think there's a bit of a balance to be had with the line. At 3 figures per wave, a single protagonist per wave is perfectly suitable. It's silly to make us wait 2+ years to get the core set of characters any display would be based around, but I suppose we'll just have to make do. Personally...

I just can't see humanity as a failure for the failures of the institutions we've created and those in power. Individual people and groups have accomplished a lot, both on a wider scale and just for each other. There's almost always good and bad within an arm's reach. But the worst always has...

Instead of proper scale, these are meant to depict how it feels being a man who is 5'9" next to another man who is 5'10"!

This is precisely WHY I am banking so hard on the Storm line for Street Fighter. I love the Jada figures I have in-hand (Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy) and think they're great general representations of the characters... Being based off the in-game models of the modern games with very soft headsculpts...

I'm happy they're knocking out Lilith from my top 3 pipe dream figures list first, but yeah. I'd like these to be up for preorder first before more characters get shown off, though. If they want me to have faith in this line they're gonna have to bring out characters like Sasquatch, Donovan...
