Street Fighter the movie figures

[bayushigemma]

I thought they could use a thread here too and do have a question, was the Movie Edition Ryu ever out in retail? I've only seen this figure in a pic and really wonder if he even exist to collectors?

Thats the blue Ryu?? If so I have seen him on card here in Canada, a buddy sold his and it went for 600 bucks or something on ebay while all the other went for less than 5 bucks each, and some did not even sell.

I don't think he was blue just white like the first but a different mold. Anyone know how many variants there were of Ryu? I'm thinking 3 with the original in white then a grey and the movie edition.

There is several series of these as well, the two G.I.Joe ones and then the movie series................so how many figures in all?

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

the movie ryu as far as i know never got released just as mock ups and such a few got out to some collectors which is why a pic or 2 can be found but i dont believe it got to be released for real. sad cause its a good ryu. much better than the gijoe version.

when SF2 figures find there way into my collection they tend to get dismantled for parts. need those o-rings....

On the blue ryu question I think it was a figure that was going to be released but ended up being pulled when the line fizzled out.

A friend i grew up with mother died. While visiting my folks my buddy said go to her house and raid the portable building out back i could have whatever toys i wanted. So i go. So i found out from the neighbors that his sister went 2 months earlier and took the building and just dumped the toys in the backyard . So under some yearbooks that the evening due ruined i find 2 jean claude van damme movie figures of guile in perfect condition on the card.

Wow, nice find mate!

Sure thing. I know these SF2 have many haters - but I love just how colourful, wacky and brawly they are. Some are a bit off but that ad some charms to it. And well, G.I.Joe being a bunch of military dude and ninjas, I think they fit in pretty well.
Guile and E. Honda are my favorite, and having Jean-Claude Van Damme figure in 3 3/4" - perfectly in line with Cobra Commander, Sgt Slaughter and the other joes - is still something I doesn't quite grasp.

Here some of mine, including 2 JCVD Guile from the movie:

Night Recon Commando Nightfighter Guile (in black - at the left)
and
Mountain Assault Specialist Rock Trooper Guile (in camo with green rifle - bottom left).

The E. Honda (the sumo wrestler in the center) is the movie version as well. The blue weapons begun to the first version (who had red face paint and blue clothes as in the game). Movie verson Honda originally had black weapons.



I have since completed that tray

Oh, the wet suit version is also quite fun, along with the pet barracuda - I also have this one, just forgot to put it in there

Yep, saddly Raul Julia passed away after the movie. He was 54.

Here some excerpt from his wikipedia page:

(...) Despite his poor health, he completed The Burning Season and was eager to continue his plans to play M. Bison in Street Fighter, which was to be filmed in Australia that spring. Juliá felt that this film would allow him to spend more time with his children, who were fans of the video game franchise and helped him prepare for the role. He received his second Saturn Award nomination for his performance, which was considered the high point of the otherwise poorly received movie. This would be his final role in a major film, with his last work being a supporting role in the TV drama Down Came a Blackbird, which was filmed in Toronto, Canada during September and October 1994. His poor health was clearly apparent in these last three films because of substantial weight loss.

(...)

The staff of Universal Pictures paid homage to him by dedicating Street Fighter to his memory, adding the phrase "For Raúl. Vaya con Dios." in the film's ending credits.
