I’ll reiterate my Facebook feelings here.

What a waste, and another boneheaded decision.

Another statue to languish on clearance shelves.

Want to make some money?

Laura? R.Mika? A good Karin Or non hideous Sakura. SFV Sagat.

Want to get creative?

G, Ed, any SF3 or Alpha characters.

Nope, another Blanka... to follow the huge success of the 1/4 MM.

They need to let go of the idea that there's enough nostalgia to move 800 to 1000 of each of any of the original characters. Most people won't ever care about a complete PCS Ultra line. Just make the things that sell, like focus exclusively on making all the females in 1/3. The money will rain.

Heck they can just print them straight out of SFV assets and make a few tweaks, a base, and be done with the design in a week.

I see they are taking a page from the Sideshow play book with text and no mention of when.

I don't get it. Sexy phuking women sell statues for every company but PCS just won't cash in.
People flock to Sideshow's non-existent female Terminator and plenty of other T&A they've never even heard of before. All those 3D models and game files for nothing. PCS's sexiest women have always been their easiest sellers.
Does Capcom have a rule that only they can exploit the sexuality of their females as they so often have at every opportunity?

I know a lot of people like Poison MM. Doesn't matter.
Poison's a character made to sell but "game accuracy", "Street Fighter passion", PCS is for dedicated players not just for the chicks, yadda yadda. Yet there's a reason she's still available for sale.
There's bills to pay so use the chicks to fund the boys (and well the company at this point).

Wanna sell just to the dedicated hardcore? Go right ahead but they can't sustain a company.

I'm happy to see a Blanka Ultra statue......but yeah i agree with everyone else....very strange choice...and like others i can think of waaaay more characters i would like to see before Blanka and would make way more sense for sales.

I honestly thought Ultra Sagat was a given at this point.

Maybe Yoshinori Ono pushed for a Blanka Ultra.
