Street Fighter Mini Figure Series by Kidrobot Official Release Info

One of Kidrobot’s worst kept secrets was made official this week, the Kidrobot x Street Fighter Mini Figure Series is coming to a store near you soon! Capcom’s Street Fighter, now in its umpteenth iteration with over 29 million copies sold worldwide, teams up with Kidrobot to take you back to the arcade with the ones who kick-started it all: Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and the wild man Blanka.

I know I said it before, but The Blot is so not excited about this release. It could have been really awesome, but these figures just look like every other 3” licensed blind box series KR has released the past 2 years. I may be a little too harsh on this release, but to be honest I’ve come to expect more from Kidrobot and these just didn’t deliver. I guess we’ll never know the reason these figures were produced, but they will make great fodder for customizers!

All 12 of the original World Warriors, including the Psycho-Powered chase, are blind boxed and stylized in 3” vinyl. Gaming’s best known fighters, each with their own unique fighting style, feature articulated arms just itching to deliver that final sonic boom. The Kidrobot x Street Fighter Mini Figure Series will go on sale beginning Thursday, July 7th, and will retail for $9.95 per blind box.

Unpainted Lavender Jeffrey Vinyl Figure by Jon Knox

Fans of Hello, Brute’s (aka Jon Knox) resin work will instantly recognize his signature character Jeffrey in the picture below, however they may be shocked to learn it’s been produced in soft Japanese vinyl (aka Sofubi). While Knox has been teasing this release for a few days, Lulubell just announced they will be releasing Jon’s very first vinyl figure tomorrow, Wednesday, June 29th, at noon PDT. Congrats to Jon on his first vinyl figure!!! The Blot knows there are a ton of Hello, Brute fans salivating at this unpainted vinyl Jeffrey.

There’s been no word on how tall this Unpainted Lavender Jeffrey vinyl figure is, but we do know it will retail for $28 in the Lulubell online store. Good luck to all those hoping to score one of these great new figures tomorrow.

SDCC 2011 Exclusive Vinyl Cape Jawa Jumbo Vintage Star Wars Action Figure

A few weeks back when Gentle Giant released their standard Jawa 7.5” Jumbo Vintage Star Wars action figure, they also hinted at an ultra rare vinyl cape variant. Well now we know this “variant” is actually one of Gentle Giant’s upcoming SDCC exclusives! The San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive 7.5” Vinyl Cape Jawa Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars action figure includes a blaster and has a limited edition run size of 1,000 pieces. No word on how much they will retail for, but it will most likely be somewhere around $65-85 each.

Digitally scanned from mint Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 7.5" tall, this SDCC 2011 Exclusive Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Vinyl Cape Jawa action figure by Gentle Giant is an exact replica of the classic ‘70s toy. Best of all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1978 style Star Wars inspired blister card with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this action figure.
