- Certain NPC characters might show up in the line...such as Gouken..but dont count on seeing Zeku
- As for making 3rd Strike character variants ala Twelves attack.. interesting idea..hadnt thought of that.
- Round 4 was scheduled for this month before everything got pushed back - Its now February 06
- We didnt take an ad out because we dont need it... ads cost money and truthfully the SF line is so well known now it seemed like a waste
- SF 4 variants will be shown ( actual product) in late Nov
- Theres always problems with the factories... they dont run in a very professional manner.. I dont think things are worse or better..they just always are the same.
- We havent gotten very far on accessory packs. Sorry.
- Ive been told all Street Fighter 3 figures should be out before end of the month. There is no official date
- Kotobukiya demanded the black Gen figure..we have a great relationship with them and I wasnt about to ruin it.
- Im not tired of video game figures at all...and not even so much tired of fighting games as long as the character designs are significantly different than Street Fighter. I just dont want to do another line thats so close to SF..thats why no SNK or FFight,etc..
- Most places have ordered Round 4 now ,yes.
- There is another 2-pack scheduled for end of the year.. cant say what it is yet. I like 2 packs when they make sense..
- As for who is in future rounds.. I really dont think about it until the time comes.
- Shipping to Canada..well we just moved warehouses yet again ( eveery time we get a new warehouse they change the rules on us ) so I believe we are shipping to Canada again... email Jed@sotatoys.com to confirm
- Round 4 is at the old factory still..we will probably keep SF there as they do them well
- Gamestop wont get their SF figures until the very very end of the month. Also.. this just in... Musicland AND Gamestop will now have the Gamestop exclusives !
- Skullomania is owned by Arika. At least thats what Capcom tells me
- When the time is right to announce the new licenses I will.. I seem to put my foot in my mouth a lot so Im going to stop saying we're going to announce something and then not do it.
- Cornerstore has all the Akuma variants listed on their site.
- The reason you havent seen Dan yet is because hes mostly a repaint of Ken/Ryu and I didnt want to put him too close to them.
- whew...that seems to be all of them!
