Ken Action Figure

I don't know if I told you already, but here's a confession - back in the days when I was a kid, Street Fighter was one my passions. Since I didn't have any gaming console or computer around, seeing those arcade slot machines running Street Fighter here and there raised my heartbeat instantly.

On the other hand, I never got crazy enough about action figures. First, it was because I found them rather useless, and second - but probably even more important - because I always had something better in my mind as "next thing to buy," but if you're running out of ideas, here's some interesting addition for your collection...

"Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is proud to announce KEN as the next figure in it’s popular line of limited edition 1/4 scale statues based on Capcom®’s legendary property, “Street Fighter®”.

The Ken statue is 18” tall ( 19.5” tall with base), will be limited to 300 pcs worldwide ( a special Sideshow only version will be limited to 150 pieces) and is scheduled to ship in June 2009 with an MSRP of $250.00.

It will be available for pre-order in the USA through www.SideshowCollectibles.com ( available on January 29th ), Diamond Distribution Previews February Edition, as well as specialty stores."

Ain't that just great? First of all, you should have a lot of space on your desk for the 20-inch Ken, and $250...ouch!!
