So, there's a local Chinese restaurant that I go to frequently, and besides the damn good eating, their toy machines actually have some cool stuff in them. Every couple of months or so, and they change them out with a new series of toys...and THIS line in particular surprised me a bit...
So you have these little rubber fighters on display, and the sign says "EXTREME FIGHTERS!", but if you take a closer look at them...
Heeyyy, wait a second!! It's Bison and E-Honda!!! In the first image, you can kind of make out a lot of the other "Extreme Fighters" as well. Along with Bison and Honda, you got Ryu, Vega, Sagat, Balrog (Who's white for some reason), Guile, and some chick who I can't really make out...(I thought MAYBE she was Rose or something??)
Here we got Vega, who's "claws" seem to look more like some hideous growth.
I wanted to get the rest, but I ran out of quarters. This basically looks to me like another case of cheap knock-off toys, like those delightful "Changeable Robots", or "Spaderman" and how about "Robert Cop"? =P But in any case, I found it rather amusing...still not as funny as the time I saw a cheap plastic dagger at the dollar store with, I'm not kidding, SEPHIROTH on the packaging!!!!!!!! (Only in this he was wearing a "Zorro" mask, lmao!!! God I wish I could have gotten a picture of that!)
Anywho, just thought I'd share that.
(The dinosaur was from Finnegans =P)
"Come, my Reptilian friend! To Bisonopolis! Awaaaay!"
