I'm kinda surprised they're releasing them in the same month and not later on, but I guess they're just keeping the molds in the machines and pumping more out at the same time. I'm all in on this line and will get these too.

I hope there's enough preorder interest for them bang out some more characters. September is a long time from now and if they wait until then to decide to do more characters it'll be like Summer 2017 with the wait time on their preorders.

Sarah in that outfit looks trashy.

Not your guy's mistake, but rather Figma's, but the white gi is actually Akira's 1P outfit, not the 2P outfit as they are calling it.

The arcade game they're playing in some of the promo pics is a model kit and is now up for preorder:

HLJ Link

Anime-Export link

I might get 2, I didn't know this line existed before, I'll have to hung down the SF one they released before.

The SF one is pretty cool. Though I find it odd they include what looks to be a Virtua Cop screen, but it's not a gun cabinet.

I think those look down right terrible. I don't care if they are accurate to the game's graphics or not, they should have made them based on the original artwork and not the actual character models.

I believe that's Dynamite Cop, released in the US as Die Hard Arcade. It's a beat'em up.

I know it's subjective but I frigging LOVE that they went this route for the line. I think there was a line of models that I saw on eBay once like 15 years ago that followed the same polygonal route, but I don't remember much about them.

Also not for nothing, this is the arcade cabinet art:



And I also found this pic of the cabinets here: Ben's Rants. The cabinets are really looking great, I hope I can put them together well enough.

OH! I freaking love the Die Hard arcade game. Didn't realize it had a different title outside NA. That's really cool.

I forgot I guess the technical Japanese name is Dynamite Deka (US Die Hard Arcade). There was a sequel (Dynamite Deka 2) that was released here on Dreamcast as Dynamite Cop, and I just learned there was another one called Asian Dynamite that was a Japanese arcade only game.
