Lobsterman Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) it's just a bit surreal to have four new SFII characters in-hand after all these years. It is very cool to finally have Guile in hand after seeing that original prototype, what, 8 years ago? Now if we could just get Blanka...

Onyx_6 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sadly, these do not seem to be selling at my TRU. I bought one each of the exclusives a week and a half ago and they have not sold a single one since. I know there us at least one other interested party in the Madison area, sine my LCS asked me about these. Who knows? And the colors on my LCS mates are decent. There is a slight difference in the painted vs molded parts, but it does not look terribly different from other mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 1349034942[/url]' post='246208']I'll take Dhalsim, Blanka, and E. Honda over extra stands, if you please Throw in Vega ( or Balrog) and we've got a winning 4-pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbofett Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Definitely would like to see a third wave. If not at least a 4-pack or two. Zach? Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's almost kind of amazing to think that we have 4 of the cancelled Street Fighter Wave 2. Just Blanka, Dan, and Talbain left. In terms of the Tekken line, Blanka seems really likely, but it's a shame we may never finish it off with the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
force2099 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Are these available in the toysrus stores??? Because I just picked up the entire wave 14, but still no Street Fighter X Tekken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Are these available in the toysrus stores??? Because I just picked up the entire wave 14, but still no Street Fighter X Tekken. Yeah, they are out. My TRU has not sold any past the 2 exclusives I bought. PM me if interested and I can pick them up for you this Friday.

llama Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) As a fighting game fan who frequents fighting game sites, especially EventHubs, I have to say that the SF x Tekken name is poisoned a bit due to controvery regarding DLC and other issues with the game. I would love to see more SF and Tekken minimates. In fact, I would love see an exhaustive line that covered the entire series if possible. SF4 is still very popular and Tekken Tag tournament 2 has been wonderfully received by the community. Perhaps going for separate licenses of well received games would be the way to go or just general SF and Tekken licenses but I know nothing of how that affects cost. Making sure to reach the people on fighting game sites like Eventhubs and Shoryuken, along with official sites like capcom unity (actual advertising if possible, not just one blog post) would also help with sales I would think. Maybe even having a presence at some fighting game events like EVO would also be a good idea. I've got so many versions of Ryu and Chun Li already. I know they are popular but I think there are a lot of people who would love to collect more obscure characters as well. Dan, Hakan, and Rose to name a few. I really want to see a collectable SF (and Tekken) line go the distance. Regarding stands - LEGO stands have worked quite well for me. Sometimes you have to put them at an angle. They are only a few cents on bricklink. Edited October 17, 2012 by llama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Picked up the Guile set today, SONIC BOOM! (btw I swapped heads with Havoc for the screaming effect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
force2099 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This might have been answered already... But why are there barely any accessories(if any)and no stands???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Most likely the increased fees for having two licenses on this line rather than one cut into the production budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Picked up the Guile set today, SONIC BOOM! (btw I swapped heads with Havoc for the screaming effect) I saw someone else do this on DA a few years back after they made a custom Guile. Really wish I had a spare one at hand myself as it's a brilliant idea. This might have been answered already... But why are there barely any accessories(if any)and no stands???? Most likely the increased fees for having two licenses on this line rather than one cut into the production budget. Yep, Zach pretty much said that earlier. I was surprised as I thought they'd only need one licence from Capcom due to it being a crossover game, but obviously I was mistaken.

SuperChefMate Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If anyone here is a Metalocalypse fan, Poison's hair piece would be perfect for a Dr. Rockzo, the rock and roll clown custom. But the only problem is the his spikey red ball nose, since minimates have no noses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman and Beast have noses... plus, there’s no way in Hell Dr.Rockzo, the Rock and Roll Clown would want to exist without a nose, so like 5-digit fingers on Mandarin/Thanos it’s a rule that MUST be broken for the character.

SuperChefMate Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Dr Baghead, I completely agree, mainly because of Dr. Rockzo, the rock and roll clown's "habit". I feel it might look weird, but right at the same time. Kind of like Duff and Panthro with their ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthBurkie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Got my sets in the mail yesterday from Luke, and besides the lack of extras, I think they turned out great. The flesh tones are almost matched and barely noticeable. I was worried after seeing the protos on FB. Hopefully this sold enough to see the next wave(s?)!

Too bad we are limited to only the SFXT characters. I think we could only get two more waves out of SFXT. There are so many more SF and Tekken characters that I would love to see.

Might as well throw in Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat. I hope Minimates become popular with the fighting game community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
