TOY TUESDAY 

 *For Toys Tuesdays are the days I'm going to post Action Figures that still new in there package that are part of my collection. Many more to come.*

  Street Fighter Series 1 Ryu Action Figure

Street Fighter was one of my favorite video games but I was never really good at it LOL. I guess I didn't want to spend the quarters to get better at the game. Thank God for game consoles. 

I bought this Ryu's Action Figure from a guy on Craigslist. He was getting rid of his whole collection but also keeping some. His wife didn't really like them too much and he had kids and didn't have much room any more. Being a fan of Street Fighter this action figure in my opinion is one of the best ones out there. The sculpt and articulation are detailed close to the video game.

BIO

An orphaned child with no knowledge of who his parents are or if they are still alive. When Ryu was a young child, he was adopted by Gouken and began living with him as well as learning the mysteriousand dangerous martial art known as Ansatsuken  (Assassination fist, used to describe any martial art developed with the intention of killing the opponent.)
