The beautiful (repainted) 1/4 Chun Li from PCS more than satisfies my need for a Chun Li.

But if.......

After Ryu, Jerry did a 1/3 Chun in her Blue/Yellow Alpha costume I'd be all in. That would show off so much musculature my jaw would drop!

Cammy first :P

That would be beyond sick!

I'm definitely in for a 1:4 scale Dan. I think he would require a pose thread. So much to choose from - his taunts and thumbs up Ultra and just his stance!

Who knows though us collectors are not a very practical bunch so maybe the 1:3s could supplant the 1:4s.

Cannibalization in both directions is something to think about though as how many people would buy lot's of characters in both scales? I know I'd pick either the largest or the ones with the sculpts that appealed to me most.

About this, one point to keep in mind: so far, we know that extremely low ES still grant profit, in this scale.
Darkness was 150ES, Scorpion 250ES (and he's arguably the nr 1 pick of the Mortal Kombat franchise).
The hobby is growing a lot and more and more people are approaching every day.
When you slap a 200 ES on statues with PCS quality, you can be sure that people will buy it. Even if they already buy the 1/4 version of the same characters.
Remember that a company cares (and rightfully) only to sell, once they do, it's not their business if people buys to flip or whatever. And low ES will ALWAYS attracts a lot of buyers (not necessarily flippers, of course).

He's got a New 1/4 coming up as well. Then ONI.

Oy. Just sayin.

1:4 Akuma is on hold. Dont expect to see a new 1:4 Akuma for at least another year.

Because of the high price point and amount of space these take, plus we dont want to cannibalize the 1:4 line, we will only make one 1:3 Street Fighter statue every 8 months.

And we will limit them to the most popular characters.

Bison and Sagat are too big to be next. I dont want to go over $1000 price until the first one is released and people see the quality.

So that leaves, Ryu, Chun Li, Cammy and Ken. We have other plans for Ken, so that leaves:

Ryu
Chun Li
Cammy

Ryu please and if somehow we can get an evil ryu variant in line with the original 1/4 alpha style i would be all over it. Especially if it had light up eyes like the upcoming akuma.

What are the other plans for ken?

Ok, that's exciting.

If Akuma 1/4 revisit is on hold (thanks for that info), I'm going to guess that Ken is sliding into that Revisit spot!

Nice!

We just had a ryu release, so my vote is for chun li. The first one as we all know had eyeball issues, I would love for them to come out with a 1/3 scale version of her and totally knock it out of the park. She deserves another go!
