Hello Kitty X Street Fighter?!?!
Now this is a game I would totally play!
Unfortunately, as yet, it's just a merchandising deal struck between Capcom and Sanrio, Inc. They're creating a new line of co-branded Street Fighter-themed merchandise that will launch in the fall of 2012. That's a long time to make us wait for Hello Kitty dressed in Street Fighter costumes. Unfortunately, there's no actual details about what kind of merchandise they're working on or where you'll be able to buy it at this time.
"Capcom has long admired Sanrio and their ability to create memorable and cherished lifestyle brands so it is a distinct pleasure to partner with them for this new cross-over line of merchandise," said Joshua Izzo, Director of Licensing, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. "The combination of Street Fighter and Hello Kitty will offer fans a whole new way to experience our characters."
I have absolutely no idea who thought this up, or what they were smoking when they did so, but I will freely admit that I will be first in line if there's some kind of a T-shirt with Badtz Maru in a Ryu gi!

That's my design on this page....I designed this silly mash up as a T-shirt a few months ago.

I found it on a random Google image search when looking for Hello Kitty and Street Fighter and it was perfect. If you want me to remove it, please let me know at wootini@gaygamer.net
But I checked out your shirts, and your designs are awesome! I specifically loved the Leia and Labyrinth ones. (Oh, and the Totoro... always a soft spot for Totoro!)
i'll probably shell out some cash for a Badtz Ryu. it works on so many levels.
