Street Fighter Figure Kickstarter Update

Sculptor Rocco Tartamella has sent along an update on the status of Capo Toys and the Street Fighter Ryu Kickstarter Campaign. After Toy Fair, a legal dispute arose between Rocco and the other members of Capo Toys, in which the partners claimed ownership over Rocco’s work. You can read up on the original dispute at Little Plastic Men. However, Rocco has officially come to a legal settlement with his ex-partners and is now the sole owner of Capo Toys and all of their properties.

This is where the Kickstarter comes in. Capo Toys is in need of funding to get the line off the ground. They are looking for fans to help kick it off with the Ryu figure. They have also added a stretch goal that will fully fund the creation of Sagat as well. The Kickstarter has 16 days to go and is at $6,855 of the $85,000 needed to get this line going.

Capo Toys Announces Their Street Fighter Action Figure Series Live Via Kickstarter!

Capo Toys successfully debuted their first wave of Street Fighter Action Figures, sculpted by Rocco Tartamella, at Toy Fair earlier this year and was awarded the Best New Toy line of 2014 from InsidePulse.com. This series of highly articulated Street Fighter action figures features in game design, style and scale in a 6 to 9 inch range with select figures outfitted with micro fiber clothing for added detail and motion.

The first five have been prototyped, Ryu, Sagat, Guile, Blanka and Chun-Li, with plans to continue the full series of Street Fighter characters. Capo Toys is featuring Ryu as the first figure to be funded on Kickstarter. With the support of the Street Fighter community, we can make this happen in a big way!
