Month: February 2017

Despite its age and lack of updates, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is still one of the most hype competitive fighting games around. The game has been a mainstay of tournaments (including Evo) and has been the source of numerous moments and stories at these events.

For those interested in picking the game up, the recent PlayStation 4 port of the game is currently on sale over on the PlayStation Store. Those looking to get in on the hype can purchase UMvC3 for only $18.74. This represents a 25% savings off the game’s regular retail price of $24.99.

For those tempted by this offer however, we suggest you act now as the sale will last only until February 8.

Following on from their previous Ryu statue as part of their Street Fighter V product line, Storm Collectibles have announced their new 1:12 scale Zangief figure for release in the third quarter of 2017. This Zangief comes with three different heads, five pairs of interchangeable palms, two special Lariat Cyclone effects and a special Street Fighter V logo base to stand him on.

You can pose this mini-Zangief so he looks like he is doing his Siberian Express running grab, his Iron Muscle V-Skill, his Lariat V-Trigger and his standard chop. At least I think that is his Siberian Express, he may just be about to give someone a big hug. For a sampling of these poses, check out the gallery below.

If you are a collector of Street Fighter merchandise, this highly mobile Zangief figure will set you back $90 and pre-orders are open now, should you wish to guarantee ownership of your own miniature bear wrestler.
