So, by now we all know Jerry is planning on finishing the core SF2 characters. This thread purpose is to gauge the interest of THE NAMED CHARACTERS ONLY in order to estimate what would be a desirable Edition Size.

M. Bison
Sagat
Chun Li
Honda
Dhalsim
Balrog-I don't think he is going to happen



You may vote for the ones you will buy or have the most interest in and can post what you would like to see as the exclusive for that character. EXAMPLE

I would like to see Balrog myself and his Exclusive be the American Flag outfit from SF4.

Hmm, it's all going to be less than 750 other than Chun Li. Since down the line, all the ES will be TBD, expect sideshow to push Jerry to release 750 of everything claiming that there are tons of people on the waitlist. That's their job, to pump out the most money possible then implement their second chance opportunities, express updates and newletter strategies which they have finessed to manipulate colectors emotions.

It's likely everything will be 750 combined ES here on out except Chun Li which Jerry states will be more. Then things will probably fluctuate between sold out and in stock for a long time.

So you are likely to see combined ES of:

M. Bison 750
Sagat 750
Chun Li 850-1000
Honda 750
Dhalsim 750

regardless of how many are made Chun-li will still be top of my list.
But i'd totally like to see the blue p2 Dhalsim. something about that just sounds awesome. Maybe he's not the most anticipated character, but I think he'll work great in PF.

Nah it's Bla-rog on account of how boring of a charcter he is :p

The general question is which of the remaining characters will you buy or are most interested in? Thats why you are able to vote for more then one character.

I would like you to post your choices for the characters you are interested in exclusive colors,items or background.

Wtf man :battherapy:! Without Blanka this poll is a fail. Next to Sagat, he is my most anticipated Street Fighter character left of the originals. And I would be willing to bet money that Jerry will make Balrog. He may be super limited, but Jerry will make him. I even expect Dan and Charlie as well on down the line, but i'm absolutely postive Balrog will happen. T. Hawk on the other hand mmmm not so much.

I would like to see T-Hawk also made! PF style.. wooo wee...

again I was tired when typing this up, I knew I was missing someone.

There are many other characters which I too would like to see Jerry produce, but unless he decides to do so I think we are going to get the remaining 6 or 7 and that's it.

Jerry can you tell us if you have any interest in continuing the line after the last 7?

SF2 characters are the only SF characters.+ some of the nicer characters that were in the anime series like Akuma (in the airport scene), Cammy and maybe Lee. The only one I would have to think about is Rolento, he could be very nice as a PF. But that's it for me.

Jerry's hinted at wanting to do other characters outside of the main 12 plus Akuma of course...bluh. He's already done Cammy. He's mentioned interest in Dan, Gouken, Oro, and even Charlie Nash as a super limited variant to Guile or I think making him a website exclusive on his site. I can't remember for sure what he said about how he'd sell him other than he would be limited to around 50 pieces if he happened.

The original plan was to space out the top guys with lesser ones in between to keep the line alive longer, because let's face it. Once the classics are out, alot of people will move on.

Well, sure there are nice character designs but, I never really played the games after SF2. Other than at the arcade once in a blue moon. SF2 was a big part of my childhood. It was my first game on the SNES and the one I played the longest.
With me liking so many different genres and characters, I really have to keep my collection focused on only the must haves. If I had unlimited space, I'd get all the SF2 characters (as long as I like the piece). I mean, I like Akuma's look but, I don't remember ever using him in a game. So, he wouldn't be a "must have" for me.

It's a shame SOTA's Juri's face is so...boring. The character really has a lot of character that she shows with her face and SOTA seems to have missed that. If PCS ever pics up SSF4 and does a Hakan and Juri I hope they pay special attention to the facial expressions to really get that character in there :buttrock:

Do tell about this 1/3 Ryu???

You know if I were SOTA I would Honor Jerry by actually making Jerry's Ryu while at SOTA in 18" scale. That was the best pose. The only 3 other poses I want to see Ryu in is His Pre Fight Guard up stance, Crouching Sho Ryu Ken stance or as seen in Ryu's avatar, Ryu walking with duffle bag.

jerry had mentioned that he wants to do a ryu in 1/3 scale in his fireball pose. kinda like the ryu he made at sota. very limited and very high end, marble base and all. im 100% sure it will be amazing.

I dont want to but my nose into another companies business but at the same time I dont want collectors being confused by two similar lines, especially since I have been making mine for three years.

So, SOTA only has the right to do a Ryu in 1/4 scale mixed media. They have no other rights.

As ive said in a few other threads, I will be doing my 'Ultimate Ryu' next year in 1/3rd scale. It will be epic but its also going to be very expensive.

I dont think I need to get into the details of mine and/or SOTAs deals with Capcom.

I just wanted everyone to know there was not a new 1/4 scale line being made. Its just a single statue.

I know the pose for my Ryu and it will be a hadouken but it will be more dynamic than the one I sculpted when I owned SOTA.

Jerry, do you miss SOTA? I know you're happy with SS. I was just wondering.

Well I started SOTA when I was 17 with nothing but a dream...so it will always be an important part of my life.

Its very fulfilling to take something from nothing and have it become, at the time, one of the most well loved action figure companies in the world.

I had someone from a very large company tell me a couple months ago they considered me one of the most important people in the action figure business over the past ten years. I couldnt ask for a bigger compliment.

But I really needed to take a few years off from working so selling SOTA was a smart move that Im still happy about.

Afterwards I bummed around. Hung out with friends. Traveled. Produced two movies. Got to step back and figure out what i wanted to do next.

So all is good.

The funny part is stuff like last year I went over to the SOTA booth at SDCC and someone started the SDCC sales pitch and asked me if I was familiar with the company. My GF thought that was pretty funny. She said to them, 'yeah hes pretty familiar with the company, he started it' and they just looked at us kind of lost...

I would buy all of them to keep the collection complete. Yes, even Blarog :p (I actually prefer him to Chun Li and Honda). Have not voted as it would make no comparative difference to the numbers.

I'm not surprised. I myself would rather have Balrog or Dhalsim than E. Honda.

Honda is just so... boring.

I don't have any on this range though currently, but I would def get Chun-Li (hopefully both reg and EX if it's Alpha), and maybe Sagat as he's who I primarily use in SSF4.

World Warrior
05-04-2010, 11:57 AM
Speaking of Blanka....

While I would prefer blanka crouching and roaring either with or without electricity around him. I can't help but wonder what Jerry will do with him. I think that if he found a way to do the Electricity Blanka that would be an awesome statue. Or the Exclusive part could be the electricity itself. So you could by the Reg without electricity or the exclusive with electricity.

I think that would also work for a 2nd Akuma statue. have him in his crouching pose with the exclusive being the flames.

and that is what needs to be taken into consideration. The votes from this little poll is simply for out little community which Jerry happens to visit from time to time. But we DO NOT account for the full 750 ES that could possibly be released.

I think most collectors would want to have the Shadaloo crew altogether...he would fit into that display, or even anyone just wanting the original 12. As far as someone who has no SF 1/4 pieces, they probably wouldn't just buy Balrog, but thats why the ES needs to stay low. It would be really lame to deny the customers who want to complete a shadaloo display or an original 12 display because "hes not a good stanadalone piece" which is arguable, or because he might not sell well (make the es low)

If Jerry followed your mentality, he might as well do the original 12 minus Balrog and call it a day cause he'd never sell a single character from alpha or third strike.

All I know is, if blanka doesnt get made, I will consider selling my whole collection. Blanka's been my boy for 20 years and it would be pointless for me to have everyone except for him.

Sagat and Blanka from SOTA are so beautiful, but they are to small for me :-(

Well I started SOTA when I was 17 with nothing but a dream...so it will always be an important part of my life.

Its very fulfilling to take something from nothing and have it become, at the time, one of the most well loved action figure companies in the world.

I had someone from a very large company tell me a couple months ago they considered me one of the most important people in the action figure business over the past ten years. I couldnt ask for a bigger compliment.

But I really needed to take a few years off from working so selling SOTA was a smart move that Im still happy about.

Afterwards I bummed around. Hung out with friends. Traveled. Produced two movies. Got to step back and figure out what i wanted to do next.

So all is good.

The funny part is stuff like last year I went over to the SOTA booth at SDCC and someone started the SDCC sales pitch and asked me if I was familiar with the company. My GF thought that was pretty funny. She said to them, 'yeah hes pretty familiar with the company, he started it' and they just looked at us kind of lost...

That's too funny. :laugh:

I dont want to but my nose into another companies business but at the same time I dont want collectors being confused by two similar lines, especially since I have been making mine for three years.

So, SOTA only has the right to do a Ryu in 1/4 scale mixed media. They have no other rights.

As ive said in a few other threads, I will be doing my 'Ultimate Ryu' next year in 1/3rd scale. It will be epic but its also going to be very expensive.

I know you dont want to go into details about contracts... but if SOTA only have rights to make that Ryu, is there any chance that you could look into getting the rights for SFIV so that there isnt a SF4 PF line done, basically getting all the characters anyway? Dont know if thats possible, but throwing it out there and I know you wont want to reply (well, might want to reply but wont because of business reasons)

Jerry has already hinted at SFIV being a possibility in other post. Please allow him to finish the current line before requesting other figures. He knows there is a demand out there for other characters from the series. But you have to understand that he has other lines on his plate aside from SF. Figure this, he releases 4 SF characters a year the other part of the year he is releasing other statues from other licenses. He has also mentioned that next year he will focus on the development of the 1/3 Ryu. If he were to decide to do the other characters outside of the current 12 he is doing we are looking at 3-5 years before we would have a complete SF line up of the other characters not including a NEWER version of characters based on there SFIV designs.

As much as I like Edmond (I think thats Honda's fisrt name??), Balrog is where it's at. I wan't him to display with Bison, Vega, and Cammy Ex., and the eventual Sagat.

I don't know why people hate on Rog so much... he kinda has Namor syndrome... but Namor is power as is Balrog ... IMHO of course

I think more expensive than Zangief, so propably 399 USD will be correct? But please make him solid, not holo as Zangief, even if it's more expensive to make him solid. PLEASE. Because he'll be a centerpiece of the collection.

Ok by now we know Bison and Chunners are on the way, My question to you Jerry, you will do blanka, dhalsim, sagat, honda AND balrog right? I know there are rumours Balrog wont get done, but there's no way you can do that. Yes you might have to make him limited but for all of us who are collecting to complete the world warriors, you just have to make him Jerry.

Needs to be a monster indeed... I know it's all about the capcom continuity in regards to the height and build of the characters as Jerry has said before. But in much of the art, Sagat is an absolute tank, which I think would make this statty the absolute best!

In turn, that means they will hold their value too. Possibly go up a little :)

World Warrior
06-13-2010, 10:58 AM
The way I see it is the main 12 WILL all sell, I don't really feel a low ES is needed for any of them and with the increasing demand I actually think it should be raised by 50-100 pieces per character. But once the 12 are complete, then all remaining characters that J would want to do should be considered for low ES. I know there are some popular NEW Challengers but the demand for them isn't the same as the 12, IMO.
