Full disclosure: The header image does not reflect my immediate reaction to or subsequent thoughts on this bit of news. I just thought it would be really, really funny!
We barely made it out of the Mass Effect debacle of sex and pent-up frustration, but now Kotobukiya is pointing its anime-ization ray beam at the Street Fighter franchise. This weeaboo nonsense must be stopped! It is too... oh... wait a tick! Street Fighter is already Japanese! Doy! False alarm, peeps!
The Bishoujo line focuses exclusively on females, so definitely expect Chun-Li and Cammy to make an appearance. I wonder what curveballs Kotobukiya plans on hurling, though. I'm holding out for Rainbow Mika, myself!
Speaking of curveballs, Kotobukiya also announced a sculpt of Jaina Solo, Han Solo's daughter from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. How much more obscure can you get!?

The National Entertainment Collectibles Association, a.k.a. NECA, has just revealed a new San Diego Comic-Con-exclusive figurine of Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees. Now, why would I be talking about film merch on a videogame...
Last night we told you that the Max Factory figma Link and figma Samus figures are getting reprinted. The good news keeps on rolling on through as the Zero Suit Samus figure based on Metroid: Other M is also coming back!

Rockman-Unity in Japan recently revealed that X's Ultimate Armor form would be the newest star in Bandai's D-Arts Mega Man toy line. We now have pictures of the figure in the flesh -- so to speak -- and my goodness, does it l...
For Phoenix Wright's grand return to the courtroom in Japan this summer, Capcom has put together a number of limited edition bundles to sell on the e-Capcom store. For ¥9990 (~$102), you get a copy of the game, three alte...
That Link figma by Max Factory which went on sale last year? It is now garbage. Find the closest waste receptacle and chuck that sh*t in there with extreme prejudice. That Link on Epona statue by First 4 Figures? It doesn't e...
Devil Summoner's Raidou isn't the only game star shrinking down to desktop warfare size! Also among Bandai's upcoming list of June toys is D-Arts Blastoise, ready to burst at an even lower price tag of ¥3800 (~$41).
The D...
I'm not all too familiar with the Shin Megami Tensei series or its spinoffs. Bad me, right? What I do know is that Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army is the one of the longest, most obsc...
Like that D-Arts Bass action figure I talked about the other week? Pretty sexy, ain't it? And remember how I said it was highly likely that Bandai would try to bring it to US retail?
Distributor Bluefin has got your back! Not...
If there's a comic book licensed game coming out, then it's a fairly safe bet that there will be some official tie-in action figures released too. NetherRealm's DC Comics-based fighter Injustic: Gods Among Us is no exception....
