Here’s a new San Diego Comic Con exclusive that is sure to be popular with the video game aficionados in attendance this year. Capcom is releasing their very first Street Fighter IV product to promote the video game’s upcoming debut. It is a 10 inch Chun Li Resin Statue and is limited to a production run of only 700 pieces. You can find this beautiful statue at Capcom's SDCC Booth #5113 for $100 each.
Also making its debut at San Diego Comic Con 2008 is a new limited edition hardcover Street Fighter Tribute book by UDON, SDCC Booth #5368, “commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Street Fighter franchise.” (link) This $80 hardcover book contains over 200 all new pieces of artwork by some of the hottest artists in the comic book industry, including J. Scott Campbell, Adam Hughes and Gabe from Penny Arcade.
I always enjoy checking out different artists’ interpretations of classic video game and comic book characters, and from the look of some of the book’s sample art this title delivers some stunning reinterpretations of the now classic 90’s Street Fighter characters. A softcover edition of the Street Fighter Tribute book is also available for pre-order at amazon.com.
