New Street Figures from CapoToys- Kickstarters being held
I was asked to post this here by a fellow SF fan, so here goes.
Because their business partner decided to split, CapoToys is turning to crowd-funding to get their line of mixed-media SF figures out on the market.
Here are the five they showcased at Toy Fair this year.

Rocco Tartamella, the artist behind the sculpts, confirmed the following on Facebook.
- The company wants to make figures for every character in the franchise, not just the original twelve. How far they get depends on the backing we give them.
- The kickstarters will be used to get the first wave of figures done. If every figure in the first wave reaches their goal, they should be able to produce the rest of the waves on their own.
- There are currently nine waves planned, and five waves have already been approved by Capcom.
- The first wave will include the five from Toy Fair: Ryu, Sagat, Chun-Li, Guile and Blanka.
- Juri has been confirmed for one of the later waves in response to a few direct requests for her on Facebook.
- The price for each figure will most likely be $35, judging by the corresponding pledge for the single Ryu figure listed as an incentive.
Here is the kickstarter for the Ryu.

This line has really good potential, so if you want to see figures of your favorite characters down the line, it's in your best interest to help!

This is awesome! They really gotta start making more figures outside of the SF2 cast, especially SF3 and Final Fight. Not many toy lines for this franchise have been that ambitious.
