- Lets see if I cant answer some questions

- Is it possible to still release a SF2 pallete 2 pack? definately possible

- Build a Hugo? Probably not..hes only slightly bigger than T Hawk

- I think Xtreme is correct in that theres a LOT of people who sisnt get Ryu or Sagat from Round 1 and want them still. As for still doing SF2 colors..see above...

- Do i wear a suit to work? Nah just my exo-skeleton

- Kei exclusive... not a bad idea.. probably couldnt sell many but it is just a head swap.

- If we do Gouken he will most likely not be sold at chain stores BUT will probably be sold at comic stores,etc

- No rights to SF Ex in the forseeable future

- Toyfair is in February

The 2 packs are an Xtreme exclusive... anyone else who is selling them are getting them directly from Xtreme. We have no say in that.

As of right now there is only ONE style... non bloody.... all orders with Wizard/Toyfare for Bloody version were cancelled so if you had that on order you dont anymore..its gone.

The color changes were only going to be on the ToyFare exclusive...which is now cancelled.

Xtreme wanted them exactly as they were when originally released. So what you see there is how they are.

Gets confusing doesnt it?

- SF3 Clear figures.. 100 total figures ..given away to friends and business associates. Im surprised I havent seen any on EBay yet... give it time, they always show up. I dont have any pics...

- I dont know anything about the stories of SF1 and 2 variants being destroyed..I dont think we have any anymore but I dont remember them begin destroyed.

- Evil Ryu/Bison 2 pack sold the most units though not by much

- The regular Ryu/Sagat 2 pack is still being made

- Voting for SF 6 hasnt happened just because I havent had the time to figure it out. Theres no huge rush they arent scheduled until Oct 06

- Forbidden planet should stock everything we make.

Been really busy..lets see if I cant answer some Q's (though first quick question for you all..am I the only toy company president who consistently comes online to answer questions? Just wondering :)

It's now Dec...When can we expect Dark Sakura and Black Gen?:

It wont be Feb... it'll be right after Xmas... They are on the water..

- color changes on the 2 packs are done.. according to everyone ive talked to we've got them right...now lets see if china gets them right :)

- so figure we're not doing anything new videogame wise unless its coming out end of 06 or later

- Large scale SF figures..theres too much SF stuff out there.. seems like as soon as we had a hit everyone wanted a piece of it..I will finsih the 6" line but probably not going to do anything else SF

- SF Round 4 should be on shelves starting end of Feb foreign and March USA. We started productio last week.

- I think I have a history of not showing accessories unti we have final production samples.. sooo.. hopefully end of Jan/early Feb

- SF 'Unleashed' style ..please doont call it Unleashed or there will be lawyers up my butt ... no plans right now..something i REALLY wanted to do but retail isnt feeling it right now...too much SF out there

- I havent thought about CS Shadaloo Cammy yet.

- On the Ryu & Sagat Toyfair 2-pack:

well capcom decided they dont want 'bloody' figures ...again....sigh.... the regular 2 packs are fine

- Guess thats it ! Thanks for being patient with me..things are reallly chaotic lately.

On behalf of everyone here at SOTA ..thank you for your kindness and support ( wow that sounded corporate).

lets try again..

As always we're flattered.. you guys made us what we are and we'll never forget it.

Re: Round3 contest....

Lets all go to the snack bar....

Answers-
- Demitri pics... I will see if I can get to it this week.. Hes unpainted but finished other than that.


- I willl ask Xtreme if they want to alter the color of Ryus hand pads for the 2 pack.. its up to them.

- No Hinata figure...we dont have Rival School rights and theyre not going to give it to us just to make one figure. Plus as someone said..It does seem to me its more than just a paint change

- I will not decide a round of SF on my own.. dont think I dont want to. Id love to but it seems awful selfish. This is the collectors toy line and you should decide.

- Of course there will be a round 6

- I'll show Round 4 mid/late Dec and Round 5 at ToyFair

- The 'other' street fighter series died..retailers dont want it.. between our line, HD, minimates, imports, etc theres too much stuff out there. basically it was going to be 'Street Fighter Unleashed'

Well, if you wouldn't mind altering the colour of Ryu's gloves...How about giving Sagat's trunks the SF2 colours? That'd be a nice little bonus. :)
- already been done


- Thanks to everyone for the get-well wishes.. Im feeling much better and its nice to be back at work
