Capcom Needs Your Help With Street Fighter IV Toys
You heard me correctly. I said toys. There's no need to glamorize the industry by labeling them as action figures, unless you feel desperately uncomfortable in your investments.
To ensure that Street Fighter fans are adequately addressed for the upcoming launch of Street Fighter IV, Capcom is seeking your input in those fighters that should become adapted into tangible objects to decorate your living quarters. For your pleasure, series standbys Ken, Ryu, and Zengeif (*swoon*) are eligible for your votes, as are the newbies Abel, El Fuerte and Crimson Viper, though Rufus is notably absent.
No ETA has been announced for shipments to reach eager gamers, but one can assume that they will arrive local to, or shortly after, Street Fighter IV's home launch.

Other stuff like this: action figures, capcom, street fighter 4, street fighter iv, toys
Zangief, Guile, and Abel were my votes. Too bad they aren't very high in the counts.
Chun-Li, C. Viper, and Vega (pref. removable claws/mask).
Not a single character from 3's going to be in 4? That's terrible.
I still want my Oro toy.. ._.
Blanka, Dhalsim and Vega got my vote.
I'm a bit confused by all this.
Sota toys has the license and has put out 5 rounds of figures, as well as special convention exclusives here and there as well. The next round is going to be Dhalsim, Zangief, E. Honda and R. Mika, and while there have been numerous delays, they look set to finally come out this summer. I assume the lines will continue, so I guess I'm confused why Capcom is doing this out of the blue?
