STUDIO24's THE KING OF COLLECTORS'24 series, which began with characters from SNK's Fatal Fury SPECIAL and The King of Fighters '98, now crosses company lines. The 9th entry is Ryu from Capcom's Street Fighter II, sculpted by studio head Hirotaka Inasaka. The figure stands 18cm tall and includes an A3 poster for backdrop display. Orders are open until the end of August 2026, with a December release planned.
STUDIO24 handles all production steps in-house, from sculpting to coloring to packaging, a process the studio describes as a reckless challenge that prioritizes quality over efficiency. The Ryu figure is handcrafted in Inasaka's domestic workshop. The studio plans to release behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube showing the production process and research into Ryu's martial arts stances.
