GO FIGURE! TOY BLOG CHRONICLES #8 STREET FIGHTER

[D. MARQUIS]

OK BUCKLE UP - IN THIS ARTICLE WE TAKE A LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FRANCHISES EVER TO HIT THE POP CULTURE MARKET. EVER SINCE THE VERY FIRST STREET FIGHTER GAME HIT ARCADES AND LIQUOR STORES ALL OVER AMERICA- THE CHARACTERS IN STREET FIGHTER HAVE BECOME AND ARE AS POPULAR AS STAR WARS. IT SEEMS LIKE A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS NOW HAVE ENJOYED THIS AWESOME VIDEO GAME AS IT HAS EVOLVED OVER THER YEARS. WHEN AN ANIMATED MOVIE "STREET FIGHTER 2 THE MOVIE" WAS AVAILABLE, WE ALL WERE SUPER JAZZED TO SEE THESE POWERFUL FIGHTERS DO THEIR SIGNATURE MOVES ON SCREEN. 

IT WOULDN'T BE A STRETCH TO SAY THAT MAIN CHARACTERS KEN AND RYU WERE BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR CHARACTERS, BUT THEY ALL HAD THEIR AWESOME MOMENTS.

STREET FIGHTER 2 AND BEYOND FEATURES ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FEMALE CHARACTERS WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON THE SERIES IS SO LOVED. AS SEXY AND CUTE AS THESE FEMALE CHARACTERS MAY BE-THEY ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED TO KICK MUCH AZZ! CHUN -LI SPEARHEADS THE FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE SERIES.

CAMMY WAS THE 2ND FEMALE CHARACTER INTRODUCED TO THE LINE AND MANY WERE TO FOLLOW.

YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOVIES THAT REIGNED SUPREME IN AIRPLAY AT CGG -IN FACT AT OUR CGG CHRISTMAS PARTY ONE YEAR- SOME OF OUR STAFF WERE GIFTED ACTION FIGURES FROM THE STREET FIGHTER TOY LINE- WHICH WERE BARELY HITTING SHELVES HERE- I STILL HAVE MY KEN IN YELLOW (VARIANT.)
THE ACTION FIGURES FOR THIS FRANCHISE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CROSSOVERS WITH OTHER BRANDS LIKE MARVEL-THEY'VE MAINTAINED THE INTEGRITY THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENT SERIES.
