Iconiq Studios + TBLeague : Street Fighter 1/6 Figure

[Raleig.h]

I wish Mortal Kombat got this kind of love. How the hell are we not getting the MK2/MK3 girls? Easy palette swaps and easy money makers imo. MK fans and horny collectors would eat it up

It's been almost a year and half since they announced Chun-Li, yet not a single sight of her. Meanwhile, third party studios released Chuns et even Cammy.
Seems like everyone lost interest in Iconiq and the thread became a SF collectible thread.

It's only my opinion but since the CEO left Iconiq, they seem less active about figures and leaning toward board games.

Do we have the SF 1/6 Collectibles thread? With a lot of 3rd party companies doing SF figures, I think it’s best to discuss on a separate thread, don’t you think? Or change the name of this thread so it’s more general.

You’re speaking my language.

I was upset McFarlane did one Kitana figure and then never made any other female characters. No Sonya, Mileena, Sindel, Jade… Even Storm Collectibles struggled to put out female figures.

Which is, as you said, missed opportunity with their popularity and easily reused body molds (classic ninjas being outright color swaps).

I may also be craving a Kitana vs Chun-li display on my shelf if the gaming gods never get around to it.

I think it's not good for a long time term if there's no name change. It's not organized, for searching purposes, and for new members. Considering Iconiq is slow in releasing their figures and like I said above, more and more 3rd party companies are releasing theirs. If that continues, Iconiq thread title is not relevant anymore and it felt like we're hijacking the thread. It's better doing it like other Video Games thread like "Resident Evil Customs" thread or "Final Fantasy VII Remake Collectibles" thread. So more like general "Street Fighter 1/6 Collectibles" and we still have individual threads for Iconiq Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li. Just my opinion.

I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't even like the FF7 Remake Collectibles thread, because there's so much stuff going on in that thread. At times, it just becomes a "Anything Game Toys thread", people talking about FF15 and 16 figures or their other anime figures.

I much prefer to have one thread per product, it's much easier for organization and search purposes. I'd split them off, but at this point it's been going on for too long and there's just no practical way for me to go through and move posts to new threads.

But yes, talking about unlicensed Play Toy and Starman figures in the licensed Iconiq Street Fighter thread is not something I'm a fan of.

There really ought to be company specific threads, at least for the popular brands. This sort of discussion is inevitable when a brand's reputation determines the level of excitement and trust in a product. If you want to directly compare the success of the Star Man Chun Li or Cammy to the upcoming Star Man Tifa, either you're off topic in the SF thread or off topic in the FFVII thread. People want to talk about OneToys Jinx in the OneToys Kratos thread. Every LimToys thread just becomes a discussion on LimToys as a whole. And so many companies these days start talking about potential product long before it goes up, that it isn't feasable to contain all discussion in per-product threads. It's actually funny how many LimToys threads there are for products LimToys hasn't actually announced. I do think the FFVII thread should just be renamed to a generic Final Fantasy thread, though. There's extreme overlap in people who are interested in FF7 product and people who are interested in product from the rest of the franchise, and so far, the same is true for the people manufacturing them. GT is also making FF15 product, ToysEra is also making FFX product, etc.
