Now Ryu collectors need a 6-inch base on SF alpha/zero with white headband.

So it's Xmen vs SF Ryu again

I've always been a smidge confused as to Ryu's hair colour. In SF2 it's dark brown, in SF3 and later it's black, but in SF1 and Alpha it's red. Dark brown and black make more sense to me than red since he's supposed to be japanese and red hair ain't all that common to japanese people unless they dye their hair and Ryu doesn't seem to be the sort of bloke who does a lot of hair-dying.

Bizarrely, after some googling, I see it's KEN that's said to be dying his hair to keep it blonde and that Ken is actually only 1/4 American, having a Japanese father and American-Japanese mother and some versions have him born in Japan. But has always represented the US in the games and other media.

And all this time I'd thought the Poison stuff was the most unnecessarily complicated thing with Street Fighter characters. lol.
