Toy Data Toy Name (Short):  Ryu Original Price:  24.99 Scale:  1:12 Country:  USA Review Content Toy Review Summary:  Ryu Toy Review Content:  As a big Street Fighter fan, I'm down for toys from most of the games. But options have been limited. SOTA Toys did the biggest run in the mid-2000's, and those are easy to find. But between spotty QC and insane online prices, I can't afford to chase anymore down at this time. SH Figuarts & Storm Collectibles have done a few, but they're a little pricey ($80+, $100+ respectively) and mostly based on the ne ..read more

Besides being the first female Joe, she was the first and only female figure in ..read more

Joe. In this case, Target was the home of Transformers Buzzworthy in the US. Not sure if that's more pun or celebration of Bumblebee, who's been a flag bearer since the live-action movies took off. But some cool toys have been made. In 2021, Origin Bumblebee was released, an all-new G1 Bum ..read more
