Holy crap! That Bison looks awesome (even if it's only a teaser).
I hope the trend of rising the bar keeps going, I love what Marvel Legends did to the toy industry.

I'm liking the teaser image as well, but I'm a bit worried about the ball joints. Haven't seen many figures that look good with them on (most recent being the FFX-2 toys).
This month's Previews had preorders for Chun Li and M. Bison busts. The Bison one looked great, and it was pretty inexpensive to buy. I don't have a picture link, though.

I preordered the Udon poster the one with all the characters. It's a bit early for me to comment but the Bison looks nice. I am a bit worried about the balls and joints too. I am going to enter the contest to guess the other four.

The last time I had an action figure was when I was really young. It was a he-man figure. I collect transforming robots. Action figures are just dolls for boys.
Oh wait. I think I might buy an SF line of 'action-dolls' if they are all as good as this Bison.
And you know what. SCREW poseability and articulation. If they are as good and detailed as a Mcfarlane toy, that's all I care.

You mean Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Guile?
I guessed Guile, Chun Li, Adon, and Alex. I was thinking if they are having a contest to guess they may have a few suprises in store for round 1. That was my thinking at least

I figured that the sweepstake nature of the contest (since only a couple people are selected from the actual people who got it correct) meant they probably wouldn't have any surprises, so I chose Ryu, Guile, Chun-Li, and Ken, too.

Hmm yes I see. I am hoping this company will mix the rounds up a bit. That’s an awful lot of the big names for round 1. Naturally my instincts go for that but I figure they will have at least one Character that is a surprise

HOORAY! ML style Street Fighters! Finally MvC2 can be recreated on my toy shelf.
but 13 DOLLARS?!?!?! (enters contest to avoid spending that)
Shit, I buy my Mattel Batman figures at the jacked up priced comic store for almost the much! I shouldn't be excepted to pay that much at retail.
oh well, SOTA makes nice figures (and the articulation was based on fan responce, that's extra nice of them.) so maybe $13 isn't too much... especially if they come with some accessories, like snap on Hadokens or something (bases are nice! I want display bases!)
$5 bet that: ToyFair and/or San Diego Comic Con will get an exclusive "Evil Ryu" repaint figure.
This picture is unusally orange no?

Guess who will be the evil scalper who buys 10 of them and sells 6 of them on ebay for x10 the price.
Yes. I'm a bastard. I don't collect he-man but I have two keldors sitting in my closet, waiting for the right moment too... spring out and get sold on ebay for exhorbitant and evil prices.

If I ever meet you in person I'm slicing you open from tooth to toe and stringing your guts across your front lawn like cheap toilet paper! And no, I'm not joking... that seems a fair trade of for being one of the people who steal what little joy I can get from my hobbies.
(as much as I hate scalpers the effort it must have taken to get two Keldor's with the random drawings and the limit number is impressive. I salute you, you magnificed bastard!)

Dr. Baghead, email me: ramberk@uclink.berkeley.edu
Is this a trap? I was joking about the gutting thing!

I'd love to have a Keldor. I must agree with Onslaught's and Baghead's view of scalpers on this issue. Especially when I just want to collect the things (any kind of rare figures) to have them and because I'm a fan, not for monetary value, yet I can't get them because they are rare and some people who don't even care about them have gotten them. Oh well. The Keldor isn't that important to me, though some figures I can't get a hold of would mean a lot to me...I really just want that Blue Mary that toycom is gonna put out.
