The Kickstarter from Capo Toys failed because during its initial run, it was ONLY for Ryu, with some of the weakest unlocks you could think of. Then came the back pedaling promises and questionable marketing strategies, (such as kickstarters for each individual figure) as many of us interested in the line thought it was going to be a fully developed line as it was shown off at various shows such as SDCC and Toy Fair, only to be told afterwards that it was a project we were going to have to fund all along. It was an absolute mess.

As for the desires for classic characters only to gripe when we get Ryu, it's simply because in the original SF2 series, there were 16 characters (17 if you include Akuma) yet developers seem content to only give us five of them, and it's almost always the same five (Ryu, Ken, Chun, Guile, and Akuma.) There are plenty of other characters with huge followings (such as Sagat, Blanka, Vega and Cammy for example) and still yet, a character that to this day has still never been done that is a gaping hole in many SF fans collection (Dee Jay.) Yet every time, it's the fab 5 and often at times, color variations of them. Yawn.

I'm glad to see a new character in Rashid, but unfortunately, I just have nothing invested in him as honestly, I feel that SF5 is the weakest game in the series next to the original SF. Had this been Juri though, I would be all over
Yeah I get it now. Thanks to you two that explained the other side of the spectrum to me. It was just frustration. See the thing about the Capo line is that it was originally a completely funded line. What happen was the sculptor was not going to be given full creative control over his sculpts so he backed out and that's why it became a Kickstarter. Rocco wasn't trying to deliberately deceive us but last minute changes behind the scenes took place. It sucks too because those figures looked great to me. Also I do have to fault Rocco for his weak Kickstarter campaign.

Still blows my mind that DeeJay hasn't been made yet. And since he's not part of the SF5 roster this could ultimately mean he's lucked out again. Hopefully not though.
