On another note....I don't collect 1/6th scale...but I would love to get 1/6th scale museum pose statues with fabric....something like the kids Logic prototypes....obviously different head sculpts

1/6 scale mixed media and stoic poses would be good as well and I think Jerry will make them better than those on the pic.

I think it's a 1/6 line like in the interview. Static like statues. Pretty sure Jerry won't make figures (with articulation) again because from what he told me it's just not worth the hassle. They are super complicated / work intensive apparently. Add to that Capcom's slow and picky approval process and I can see his point.

In regards to the revisits my guess is Jerry will do Ryu first. He said that when he looks back at the current Ryu he sees how he would do it differently now.
And let's not forget that at one stage he was developing a 1/3 Ryu.
An Akuma revisit would bring in a lot of $$$ but honestly my opinion is there are characters who are much more in need of a revisit.

For the record, I'm not in the Revisit camp.

IMO, there are too many other characters that could easily keep selling out to waste time with redoing popular characters.

And his Ryu and Akuma are still the best two in the 1/4 world.

Having said that....

I realize that they are happening regardless, so I'm getting on board.

IMHO, as great as the originals are, Zangief and Vega need it the most.

Zangief looks like the dwarf from LOTR. The squatted pose was/is better suited for Honda. (I still love the Original piece)

Vega is also too short. Compared to Bison and Sagat he looks very small. He should be in between them.

His leaning is also an issue. Add the broken claws and that's a wrap.

Ryu and Akuma are great payday statues for PCS. I can only hope that the popularity and sales they'll bring will allow for some lesser known characters to get made.

Probably should've posted this in the revisit thread. So I'll wrap it up now.

Ah. Which do you personal think is the ones or one that warrants the revist?

It's personal opinion but I would say:

Cammy for sure.
I just thought she came out a little "flat" and porcelain looking. Lacking detail (and sexiness!).
And after re-reading the Udon comics it's really amazing to me how central Cammy is to everything. I mean she was born in a Shadowloo lab using Bison's DNA.
She's also one of the highest tier characters in the current version of SF4.
Honestly, I think Capcom view her as more important than Chun-Li (sorry Patrick!)

M. Bison. I don't like his shape (bit bloated) and lack of muscle definition (just think of the detail on Akuma's body). And I think his trousers are too baggy.

Then maybe Ken......

But honestly I'd rather see new characters like Gouken, Hugo, Rufus, Ibuki, Cody, Guy, Dan, Sakura, Gen (the only fighter to ever defeat Akuma other than Gouken).

How about you Dylan?

Yeah I hope the revisits are "full" 1/4 scale and more accurate in terms of comparative size.

I just watched the SSF4 animated movie yesterday. The 1/2 hour one that is included in the SF 25th Anniversary set.
Juri is a serious byaaatch

She is my favorite female in the sf universe by a mile and probably my 2nd favorite out of every character in sf ever.

Mark I would have to agree with on the cammy redo(she looks great but has a porcelain face lol), bison (just better clothes that all), ken is one of my favorite characters ( but has too much of a pointy chin).
For new characters my list almost same as you with a few exceptions:
Gouken, Dudley, Hugo, Cody, Guy, Dan, Sakura, Oro and Yun/Yang
