February 19th, 2009

street-fighter-swag

With 20 years of Street Fighter, the game that defined the fighting game genre, there’s got to be thousands of pieces of Street Fighter merchandise, memorabilia, figures, comics, posters, and collectibles out there in the wild… here is a small sampling of some of the best, worst, and everything in between.

Poseable Microman Street Fighter Figures
Perhaps not the most detailed figures, but a lot more fun than most. You can change the pose of the characters on the stand to post them mid air. They also have removable fists so you can change their stance so you can really recreate an interesting fight between two characters.

Street Fighter Coin
Commemorative coins usually come out for boring things like wars or presidents… finally something for the gamers!

Blanka Plush UFO Catcher
Ugly as sin, even for Blanka, this Japanese plushie is hard to come by.

NIX & Scratches Sketchbook
A powerful collection of unpublished sketches by comic book artist Allen Lee.

Puzzle Fighter Key Chains
These adorable key chains are based on the puzzle fighter designs and capture the essence of each character in cute chibi form. Display your favorite character or collect them all.

Street Fighter Nintendo DS Lite Vinyl Skin
A cool ebay find, we’re not sure who else carries these, but we are sure that they are pretty awesome. They feature E Honda on the cover, Guile and Abel on the back and of course where you stare the most, the popular Ken and Ryu on the inside. The artwork is pretty awesome, although we would have loved to see some more Cammy ass.

Udon Street Fighter Superwide Street Jam Poster
This massive 55″x17″ poster features all of your favorite (and some not so favorite) Street Fighter characters and is a stunning piece of artwork. Unlike a lot of lets-include-every-character-ever posters, this one is actually interesting and captures a lot of personalities.

Street Fighter Minimates
Ugly Street Fighter legos? Well Minimates to be technical. These block figures stand 2″ tall and come with accessories to make the mini block fights more fun.

Street Fighter Watches
These unique timepieces are made to order and only found on ebay. They feature several options for Street Fighter characters and come with genuine leather bands. Classy.

Panson Vinyl Street Fighter Figures
Despite Chun Li’s tiny thighs, the Panson Vinyl Street Fighter figures are certainly a unique collectable. The set includes Ryu, Chin-Li, Guile and Sagat in crazy proportions. Preorder now as these are due out in March 09.

Street Fighter Door Posters
Practically lifesized, these 22″x55″ door posters are an obvious must-have lonely perverts who want to make out with their door-Sakura.

Street Fighter Vintage T-Shirt
A t-shirt featuring art from a simpler time, this t-shirt doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not, with stiff artwork, silly poses and an awkward arrangement of the characters, it’s still awesome and everyone should own at least 2.

PopCultureShock Quarter Scale Street Fighter Statues
Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide, these impressive 18″ statues are available by preorder at shideshowtoy.com Ken, Ryu, Vega, Cammy and Shin Akuma all feature incredible detail, real fabric and in memorable poses right out of the games.

Puzzle Fighter Ken Vs Ryu Messenger Bag
The ongoing (and adorable) battle of student vs master finally captured on a messenger bag to display your fandom. Puzzle Fighter and Street Fighter fans alike can appreciate this sturdy flap over bag.

Street Fighter: Eternal Challenge Artbook
Official Capcom artbooks never disappoint, loaded with rare images, incredibly detailed pieces of art and your favorite characters in a new light, Street Fighter: Eternal Challenge is 304 pages of the best Street Fighter artwork by amazing artists like Akiman, Shoei, Kinu Nishimura and more.

Chun Li Resin Statue - Capcom Girls Collection
If you’ve always been mesmerized by Chun Li’s raw beauty rather than her raw power, then you’ll love this figure that captures her softer side. With a feminine pose and soft sexy eyes, you won’t be able to resist her.

2009 20th Anniversary Wall Calendar
If you still haven’t picked up a calendar for 09, here’s the one you didn’t even realize you were holding out for. This collectable calendar highlights 20 years of Street Fighter.

Street Fighter PSP Sticker Skin
Another cool ebay find, the Street Fighter PSP skin features some bad ass art.

Street Fighter Tribute Artbook
Professional artists and fans alike have come together to create over 200 new pieces of original Street Fighter artwork in honor of the game’s 20th Anniversary in UDON Entertainment’s Street Fighter Tribute Artbook. You won’t ever find more dynamic styles, designs and techniques in any other collection.

Street Fighter “Fight Night” T-Shirt
A fun take on the fight classic poster, this t-shirt promotes the raw street fight between Vega and Balrog!

Ryu Hadoken T-Shirt
Not that you’ll ever forget how to pull of a Hadoken, but this iconic T-shirt combines the kanji, Ryu’s silhouette and the button combinations in a way that makes you feel powerful when you wear it.

Street Fighter Beach Towel
Unless you’ve got a time machine or get lucky at a flea market, you may never have the joy of owning this Street Fighter beach towel we found on flickr.

Official Street Fighter IV Pins from TGS
If you’ve had the pleasure of playing SFIV at TGS08 then you have a pack of 5 Street Fighter IV pins. Otherwise you might have bought them off of ebay. Either way these pins are pretty awesome.

Street Fighter II Costumes
Cosplay was never quite so easy… or maybe that’s cheesy…? We’re not really sure what’s with the big puffy fists, maybe so you don’t hurt yourself when you forget that you can’t actually punch through bricks.

Chun Li “Gomen Ne” Hand Towel
Spotted over at Wired, this Chun Li “sorry” hand towel was giving away as a freebee for playing Street Fighter Alpha on a cell phone at TGS06.

Street Fighter Sound Drops
Because Japan does useless plastic crappy toys way better than we do, there’s stuff like Street Fighter Sound Drops. Check out the video to hear muffled battle cries you know so well.

Xbox & PS2 Controllers
For the 15th Anniversary of Street Fighter Capcom and Nuvatech released some custom controllers for the Xbox and PS2 featuring many characters from the series. Also released for the 15th Anniversary, the Limited Edition Xbox Arcade Stick. Check them out at streetfightercontroller.com

Street Fighter II Pencil Board
If it’s Japanese, you’ll find a pencil board of it floating around somewhere, maybe online, maybe at some kind of convention. Street Fighter of course is no exception.

Fighting Chun Li Figure
Incredibly deadly, this figure captures Chun Li kicking but still manages to balances perfectly.

Capcom Companion Characters
See some of your favorite femme fatales in a trendier, more approachable light with these sexy little dolls.

Pink PVC Chun Li Statue
A young innocent rendition of Chun Li, usually only seen in the fanart of 13 year old girls and 40 year old men, is now available in PVC figure form.

Xbox 360 & PS3 Street Fighter Faceplate and Console Skins
If the only reason you ever even started playing video games has something to do with the Street Fighter Series, then you should grab one of the limited editions skins and faceplates for your console.

Street Fighter IV Controllers
If you liked the 15th Anniversary controllers than you’ll love the Street Fighter IV controllers featuring Ken, Ryu, Chun L, Blanka or Akuma for PS3 or 360.

Official Street Fighter IV FightSticks
You really can’t play street fighter on a controller… it’s just not the same. Relive your glory days in the arcade and have a genuine Street Fighter experience with the Street Fighter IV fight sticks.
