Collectibles cast Street Fighter in plastic, ink
If there's one thing we enjoy as much as playing games, it's collecting various odds and ends that reflect our passion for the hobby. Whether it's a Lunar Ghaleon puppet on the mantel or the Varia Suit statue on the coffee table, there is never any question where our loyalties lie. Now UDON Entertainment has added another collectible to our radar in the form of a limited edition art book dedicated to the numerous brawlers who have thrown down in Capcom's storied Street Fighter franchise. The hardcover will feature the artistic styling of such artists as Penny Arcade's Gabe and pin-up style comic cover artist Adam Hughes, among several others. The book is available for pre-order now, with orders placed today dropping you in the running for Capcom's IGN-branded Okami for the Wii. At $80, the book isn't cheap, but really, when it comes to the things we adore, what price can do love justice?
And while we have Street Fighter on the brain, we'd be remiss not to mention an interesting blog post over at Camp Capcom, as the company is apparently entertaining the idea of creating a collection of figurines based on the upcoming Street Fighter IV, and as such are looking for input on which characters deserve to make the cut. So, of the faces we know, both old and new, who would we most like to see make the leap from polygons to plastic? E. Honda? Vega? El Fuerte? Hit up the poll on Capcom's blog and let your voice, albeit anonymously, be heard.

I don't see Balrog, so I don't really know whether that is truly fap worthy.

That's Elena(left) and Makoto(right). Both are from STREET FIGHTER III; though Makoto was introduced in THIRD STRIKE. :] Great series, I liked it more than ALPHA/ZERO personally.

am I the only one who liked the EX series?? I pours countless hours into SF EX plus alpha for the PS1. LOVED the training modes

Admittedly, the EX-series is a guilty pleasure for me; not sure why I like playing it every-now-and-then, but it has its moments.
It's even more weird that I'm not even hyped for SF4 anymore because they changed things a bit too radically... to the point of it looking like a HGH-slobberknocker.

I loved the previous UDON Capcom book, so I'll probably fork over the money for this one eventually.
