Preview: Super Street Fighter IV – Ryu Play Arts Kai Figure

About three weeks back, we previewed a number of Play Arts Kai action figures based on popular videogames including Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted 3, and Halo. This week, we’re going to focus on Square Enix and Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV Play Arts Kai Action figures.

The Super Street Fighter IV Play Arts Kai line features four characters from the popular franchise; Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, and Cammy. Ryu and Chun-li are available for purchase now, with Akuma and Cammy to be released later this month.

First in line to be previewed is the franchise’s main protagonist, Ryu Hoshi.

Find out more about the Ryu Super Street Fighter IV Play Arts Kai figure(including high-res screenshots) after the break.

RYU

The always-in-training Shotokan Karate fighter comes with his trademark white gi and red bandanna. The gi actually incorporates realistic creases and texture. As well, his belt has writing on it called the Furinkazan. (Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain.)

The figure features multiple points of articulation that allows for Ryu’s most popular moves to be recreated including the Hadouken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku.

The Ryu Play Arts Kai figure comes with interchagable hands (for the hadouken) and effects parts as well as a transparent stand.

Parts include:

• Interchangeable hands (open and closed)
• Hadouken fireball effect
• Face (open mouth)

      

   

Stay tuned this week as we’re going to be featuring the other characters in the SSFIV Play Arts Kai Line. Tomorrow’s focus will be on Chun-Li.
