Rotobox are bringing the Shodo magic with their newest custom. Using the Celsius platform, they’ve recreated one of the best bad guys in all of videogames: Akuma from Street Fighter. The one-off project has custom fabricated hair and accessories, and the sparkly paint used for his gi is fiercer than a Raging Demon. Stay tuned for our interview with Rotobox.
Albotip: Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan.

First of all, Kidrobot, you blew it on the 2-packs. Shoulda’ called them something clever like 2-player packs or versus packs, but I’ll let it slide because I have a big, fat, giant crush on you.
The Street Fighter mini figure 2-packs come packaged with one character revealed, and the other is a mystery. I had this idea years ago and I’m glad that somebody finally telepathically stole it from me. Each pack will retail for $17.95.
Each one of the 2-inch keychains features two Street Fighter characters facing off and come in all sorts of various match-ups and colorways. These will be $4.95.
Kidrobot’s Street Fighter vinyl mini figure 2-packs and enamel keychains drop March 28, 2013 at Kidrobot.com, Kidrobot stores, and select retailers.

Artist Victor Hugo Queiroz has created this amazingly awesome Street Fighter fan film called Street Fighter III - Fuurinkazan. Up top is a trailer for what he’s been working on for the last couple of years, which shows Ryu fighting Hugo, with a special guest appearance at the end of the footage. Super awesome footage.

Nothing has been officially announced yet, but these photos of Kidrobot x Street Fighter toys have appeared on the Internet. We don’t know if these are real, and if they are, we don’t know if there are new characters hiding behind that question mark of if they’re just the same old blindboxes you can buy already. According to retail site, ToyWiz.com, they’ll launch in April.

“In the year of 2012, a super robot named Megaman was celebrating his 25th birthday with no robot masters to defeat. There was much outcry. But thanks to the continued support from fans, Megaman will face a set of new challengers…”
Street Fighter X Mega Man will be available as a free PC download at capcom-unity/mega_man on December 17, 2012 - Mega Man’s official 25th b-day!
This almost, kind of, sort of makes up for Capcom cancelling Mega Man Legends 3DS and Mega Man Universe. Almost, kind of, sort of.

Just in time for Xmas comes two books that combine the badassery of Street Fighter with the adorableness of Sanrio.
Street Fighter x Sanrio: World View features Sanrio playing the parts of Street Fighter characters sharing the wisdom they’ve learned from countless battles across the world. The Street Fighter x Sanrio Sticker Book contains a mix of colorful bumper stickers, paper dolls, and more.
Now they just need to make a Street Fighter x Sanrio game so I can play as a shoto-ized Badtz Maru and chuck fireballs at Hello Kitty’s mouthless little head.

Street Fighter Canvas Paintings By Pierre Bäckman
These acrylic paintings by Mr. Bäckman (a.k.a slusk666) feature the World Warriors of Street Fighter II in a simplified, silhouetted color pallet that looks pretty darn classy. Check out his blog for more 8-bit paintings, but you might want to have a Google Translator plugin installed in your browser because it’s entirely in Swedish.

Experimental punk group The Death Set have some pretty out-there videos, but this one for “They Come To Get Us” is by far the most aesthetically outrageous. It also features references to Back to the Future, Batman, The Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros., and more.
