I just drove all over town for these guys, and found them at a single store--Hot Topic of all places. They had T.Hawk, Cammy, and Vega. I got Vega.
I have absolutely no complaints--this is one of the best figures EVER. The sculpt is perfect. Articulation? Perfect. Paint? Awesome.
I just wish they weren't so hard to find. The guy at Gamestop thought I was an idiot for even asking. "We got totally cleaned out for Christmas." "What?? Oh, Christmas--I remember that. It was 2 MONTHS ago! Ass."
Anyway, I highly reccommend them. They put Marvel to shame, and have killed my desire for any Toybiz product. Well, I might still get that Man-thing.

Series 2 jusssst came out. Hot Topic is the first to have them. A lot of online stores have series 1 and series 2 (pre-order) like www.bigbadtoystore.com, www.killertoys.com and others I forget how to spell at the moment.

Well, let me just tell you: Get Vega. I saw some Ken and Ryus and Akumas at KB, but they were some other brand, and looked just like little clones. What other brands are decent? Have you seen any of those SNK figures?

Randy, those 'clones' are from Jazwares. They look kinda inferior indeed.

I forget the ghoul's name--was it Eddie?--Anyway--next best thing to Frankenpunker. Gimme. Also, I remember one of the bosses was some kind of crazy Peruvian Incan Robot or something--THAT would make a cool fig.

Anybody seen these at retail yet (besides Hot Topic--they sold out)? Also--has there been any news on either the darkstalkers or micronauts coming from SOTA? Are they in the same material and scale as Street Fighter (6" PVC)?

My second street fighter: T.Hawk, aka 'Big Chief Stereotype'. Despite him being the cheesiest character in franchise history, I decided to grab him because I really wanted to see one of the 'big guys'. The sculpting and detail are incredible--although he suffers in range of motion. His hips, for example, only move about 30 degrees in any direction, though this may be viewed as a result of the extremely tight jeans he wears. This is one solid chunk of pvc, and again far outdoes other, comparable lines. Can't wait to find Blanka...

So, I jus picked up my first SF figure. And I like everything about it, except that he doesn't stand up very well.

Other than this Hot Topic store that has been mentioned a couple of times, are these available in any other retail stores? I can't seem to find them in either TRU or KB in my area. My only option might be to buy these figs online. Does anyone know if they might be carried in Suncoast Video stores (or stores like Suncoast)?

Well, you picked a good time to ask because these things only just started popping up nationwide YESTERDAY. Go to Gamestop, they had several sets at every location I tried, including a bunch of cool variants (Grey cammy is much better than green cammy--get her instead). Hastings should be getting theirs soon, Tower records got em, and yes, Suncoast had LOTS of them as of this afternoon...!!! My Series 2 is complete, unless any cool Blanka variants pop up online...
