Finally had the proper time to unbox my Ryu and I’m blown away. I’m still trying to get used to the body but this figure is amazing.
Edit: Very authentic experience. I was cussing to myself while changing out the hands and feet as much as I do when I play the game.

He wasn't in my plans, but I also was sincerely blown away by this figure. I can't recommend him enough, and if the rest of the line is anywhere near this quality there will be a lot of happy collectors and sad wallets.
That’s great but really hoping they offer a classic / short hair sculpt like with Ken, I cannot stand the SFV Akuma design
Oof, same here. I think/hope they would, as it's another skin/version in SFV to have his classic hair/head design. Crazy though, as his face shape actually changes too. Not sure how they would incorporate that, if they would actually make a different sculpt. Kinda hope they just go for the OG look, like on the left. See here:
Don't lose hope. The owner of Iconiq Studios, Andy, had said in an interview when asked about Chun-Li becoming a possibility, his response was this: "Chun-Li is a character we definitely want to make. It's just that she is also Capcom's baby. The shining star. There are a lot of gates to get through to get her license, and she's very protected in regards to that. But if allowed, we would definitely make her."The hopes of the Chun-li have fallen
Begun…the Shoto wars have.
Pardon the para-phrasing, but it was along those lines. They definitely have an interest in making her, and I'd assume it's just a matter of time before they do, but as he said, she's very protected and it might take a bit longer to get a hold of her license. If Medicom can do it, Iconiq certainly can do it (but better).
Anyway, with SF6 release date less than a month away, I'm still dreaming about future SF6 Ryu releases
Hoping Iconiq is one of them!

I asked Andy about this initially. And he said expect the classic looks of the characters first. That’s why SFV Ken was classic and not with the training shirtOof, same here.

Makes perfect sense. If you're doing a high-end collector figure, you want to lead with the most iconic version of those characters.
Id still love to see a true SFV Ken as well as the SFV Akuma. Yeah, that look isnt as cool as the original/classic, but it's still cool imo.
Hopefully they can also do Guile, Charlie, Chun-Li, Sakura, etc.
The line has a lot of upside. Hopefully it is selling well.

Classic Akuma is my all time favorite version of him, but if we ever got an alternative, I would love to see Oni.
Or rather, the most Iconiq version.
I'll see myself out 
That would be sick. With translucent plastic hair and LED in the head so the hair and eyes light up. Damnnnn
Hey guys,
Do you know if Iconiq will make Street Fighter 6 figures?
Because they make SFV figures at the end of this video game lifetime, I don't see the point to continue now that SF6 is out.
And to be honest, SF6's character design is much better than SFV's, as evidenced by this video:
In SF6 characters are more "realistic", less cartonny and closer to the design they had in SFII.
I also regret that their future Ken is still from SFV, I'd really have preferred the one from SF6.
Then perhaps they only acquired the Street Fighter 5 license and not the 6?
But again, I think it's a shame they got it at the end of SFV's life, when SF6 was about to be released, they should have opted for the SF6 license directly.
