Secondly, if they indeed do this, and they sell well, it could open the door for other tie-ins.
You all know you want a Bison figure with Funky Ass Glowing Hands...
Besides that, they were fun for what they were.

Only if its done right this time around. Which is very probable considering how well the anniversary figures look. There is a lot of potential and it could exist as a line on its own, even sold in the game aisle of TRU and the other stores, plus gamestop.

Its got a line up and market big enough that it doesn't need to borrow space from the gijoe line at all. The only thing in common would be the body types and thats about it.

Yes, it would.
Which is why I said a line such as this would open the doors for other venues in which Hasbro could use these new style bodies for.
It's not about borrowing from the G.I. Joe line, it was originally part of the G.I. Joe line, and it would be a nice tip of the hat to see a six pack or a battle pack of updated figures.
It's funny how everyone keeps complaining about the Street Fighter figures, but IT WAS A PART OF THE JOE SERIES.
Lol.
That is all.

Yes but it was a part that not everyone was a big fan of. Sure the concept was unique and street fighter fans like me WANTED it to be good. Thing is, a lot of joe collectors strayed away from the joe line starting in the 90's. Some say after 86. Some say late 80's. Ninja force, street fighter, battle corps, as well as some of the figures were made, they weren't the most memorable. Now I will say that a lot of great vehicles and figures from that time are overlooked, however the early 90's era was not the best for the joe figures.

So no one is complaining simply because they were street fighters in the joe line, they were complaining because the street fighter joes could have been so much better. Others are worried that the space allocated for another subteam could be taken up for street fighters. I'm of the opinion that if Street Fighters are greenlighted, they will not take up any spaces for other teams and that it will be sold in other venues.

So I'd love to see gijoe street fighters done right this time around.

I'm still confused on HOW Street Fighter figures got considered to be part of the Joe line. The only thing I can see is that they have the Joe logo on the package. But when most of them are recolored for the Street Fighter movie and the Joe logo isn't on the package, then they're not part of the Joe line.

I'm willing to bet that Hasbro thought they could sell the Street Fighter figures easier with a Joe logo on the package, then when the movie came out they figured they didn't need the logo anymore.

Personally, I wouldn't be very interested in Street Fighter as part of the new line. I'm not as big a fan of the game as I used to be and I doubt that Hasbro would give them their own line (complete with designers and a budget)

Don't be confused. They were a part of the line. Face it.
This was also over 10 years ago too, so just chill!
The movie figures were a separate release, as were the Mortal Kombat game and movie figures.

Son't worry man, as evidenced by what hasbro said today in round 2 of the q/a's, the classic RAH era stuff has first dibs over anything new. Surely anything iconic and popular with us, will see fruition before something like street fighter ever comes out again in the line. They do know that street fighter wasn't the most popular era, they know the 90's era wasn't the best, and they are definitely focused on the anniversary this year leading to next.

Even if the poll showed street fighter winning, whatever is more classic to us will hit retail first most likely. They are planning more army builders, stuff that caters to us, we will surely be taken care of before the street fighter fans are.

For example I don't see Street Fighter really even hitting aisles for joes until the anniversary game/celebration comes out, and that isn't for a while.

STREET! FIIIIGHTTTEER 2 lol
lets see them all but if only 1 street fighter but better this time

[CobraOfficer999]

Didn't know this poll existed, but had I known, I would of voted Street Fighter.
