More on Ryu & Sagat 2pack by Sota Toys...

Source: Action-Figure SOTA Forum.

The bloody 2 pack was ToyFares pitch to us...we accepted. They insisted they get worldwide...we can use the promotion so we accepted. This IS a business.

We then thought..well since we are pulling out the old molds why not give the people who never got the original Ryu and Sagat a chance at getting those as well.

So thats what Xtreme will have.. the original versions in a 2 pack. The 2 pack aspect will make sure those MOC collectors retain the value of their original Round 1 single packs but out of the package the figures will be exactly the same.

By the way I believe there are only 3000 Xtreme 2 packs and 1500 ToyFare 2 packs...

Now ..why arent they available outside the USA? Simple economics.. Xtreme said they would take 3000 if we gave them an exclusive. So we went to the rest of the distributors to see if we could sell more by opening them up to everyone. Turns out we couldnt.. we sell more by just giving Xtreme 3000 than if we simply took orders from everyone else.

So if you're pissed you cant get these locally dont complain to me.. complain to your local distributor who doesnt want to order enough to make it worthwhile to us.

We also will not have either of these available on our website.

As for resculpts... too expensive for very limited releases.

Anyway.. I think the scarring blow 2 pack is very cool..the pic is also slightly inaccurate.. there were some color changes made after those were shot.
