Small update. Here is their twitter account: https://twitter.com/ultimatetoy

They have more pics on there with the figures' accessories.

Ono stated that the reason they are handling it this way is because of Killer Instinct and to a lesser extent MKX. They now want SFV to be a base game with 16 playable characters at launch, (with more to be released as time goes on,) but without forcing players to upgrade to a "championship edition" or "third strike" and purchase a new disk, as this was causing a bit of divide during the life cycle of SF4. This was a huge issue for a lot of players (myself included,) as they were forced to pay for characters that they didn't want in order to get the balance changes and patches to continue playing. (Looks at SF4 A.E., giving it the finger...)

Capcom also said that there will be ways to unlock all the new characters for free, based on how much you play, or....if you don't have the time to grind, you can pay for the character that you want. While I'm not a fan of DLC myself, it's a great model (not all that indifferent from what EA did with Rock Band all those years ago) as it allows you to get more mileage out of your base game, without segmenting your community and forcing a purchase to keep playing with them. You get to choose what you want, and how you earn it.
