Limited Edition Ryo Hazuki figurine will lift your spirits

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Feb 16th 2010 3:30PM

Or momentarily distract you from that gaping, Shenmue-shaped hole in your heart. Although most doctors agree that the unfortunate condition is chronic, some symptoms (which include: forlorn sighing; naive bursts of optimism on Shenmue 3 message boards) can be addressed with a modicum of effort. Example: Staring at a Limited Edition Hazuki-in-a-forklift figurine. For six hours.

Those looking to implement slightly more permanent treatment can attempt to win the depicted prize through a sweet Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing sweepstakes setup. Since it's only open to U.S. residents and is limited to 950 figurines in total, however, you probably won't ever win. And Shenmue 3 won't ever come out. And we'll never find out what happened with Lan Di or the Dragon Mirror.

Oh yeah, that's the other symptom: straight-up depression. Thanks for nothing, you stupid, unattainable figurine.

Sega, you steaming pile of monkey shit.

Personally, I've been saying that since the days of Genesis...

For the purest personification of the essence of Planet Earth, you sure do curse a lot, Captain.

When you literally have the weight of the world on your shoulders, you tend to let the expletives fly.

Captain Planet, I like your style.

No Shenmue 3? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!????!?!?!?!?! It's not fair!!! Why can't they finish one of the better sagas they have released, even if it is in stick figures on XBLA/PSN? I would buy it!
SEGA: Here is my money *holds up sixty dollars, then sets it on the desk in front of the webcam*. Now I am going to turn my back for no particular reason and if its not there when I turn around, we'll consider it a done deal...hmmm? What do you say?

Honestly how many of you are not thinking the same effing thing?

I put my age in (I'm 18) I'm apparently not permitted to view the site...?

Probably because pictures of Ulala are on that site for people who are 21 and older.

@_@

I'm in the same boat :( Yet in the OFFICIAL RULES for the contest it reads:

"Eligibility - The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia (excluding Puerto Rico and all other US territories) and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 13 years of age or older at time of entry."

I like those odds, considering that less than 950 people are probably going to buy this game.

Have you seen any sailor figurines?

Beautifully done. *golfclap*

I'm looking for a figurine that can read Chinese.

Naota wins.

Sega should really finished what they started!

Way to be a Dick Joystiq.

Why did you have to remind me :(

"Thanks for nothing, Sega."

Fixed that for you.

This is the song written for Shenmue.
This is the game with Ryo Hazuki.
He tried to outrace me with a forklift.
Olé!

DAME IT SONY! I WANT MORE QUICK TIME EVENTS!

/ end caps rant

Heavy Rain: Hi!

Damn, I want it!!

What moves faster than Sega's new racing game? This statue!

Ha-cha-cha.

Their isn't a hole deep enough on this earth that i would want to throw this into.
Boo i say, Boo.

Let's face the truuuuuth
Shenmue is dead now
That game willllllll
Never happeeeeeeeen

HE TRIIIIIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIIIIIIIIIFT

This is the figure made just for the race gaaame.
It is a figure of Ryu Hazukiiii...

He triiiied to kill me with a forkliiiift.

Okay you win.

In what world is a 20 year-old not old enough to enter a contest for a toy?

Apparently, I get redirected to "/tooyoung" when I enter my birthday of 12/23/1989.

I want my Shenmue 3! And that MMO they were going to make......

Yeah, myself and about 900 others. Perhaps I'll have to relive my fun by driving my forklift around in circles for hours at a time.

(Sings) : HE TRIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIFT!

This is the song, written for the train chase
This is the chase, Rocky and Ken!

He triiiiiiiiied to kill me with a forklift!

Ole!!!

Naive burst of optimism: If an x amount of people sign up for the sweepstakes, Sega will see the rampant want of Shenmue 3 and finally green light it...

*cries*

Hey FUUCK YOU JOYSTIQ!!!!!!!!!! "And Shenmue 3 won't ever come out"

Way to ruin my HOPEs N DREAMs of Playing Shenmue 3....................

YOU SUCK............and Yes I am in denial and dont want to change...........Dam you to HELL JOYSTIQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEGA i want my SHENMUE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I uh... agree with this guy mostly.

*Sings*: I WANT MY SHEMUE 3!

No RYO for nothing, cheap figures for free!

[deleted]

Another tease. *sobs*

I would buy 5 copies of the game if they let me have one of these.

Ryo, racing for the Shenmue Saga!

does it beep beep beep?
