Question re: POP! Games - Hot Ryu

Postby emk194 » Fri Jan 06, 2017 2:11 pm

Ok, so to my understanding, preorders for this Pop were canceled by both Amazon and EB Games/Gamestop as it was canceled by the manufacturer. Based on what I've read online, Hot Ryu won't be sold under the Pop! Games label at all and will remain as a POP! Asia piece only.

Is this correct? :-k :-s #-o

I believe so! I think it was meant to be a POP Asia exclusive only just like the gold Ryu.

As far as I know Gold Ryu, Pink Chun-Li and Hot Ryu are all Asia only exclusives. Especially since Alpha Ryu (white headband) is what he was replaced by at GS.

Edit: I guess it's like how Gold Deathwing and Gold Illidian were Asia only.

I was wondering what had happened with this Pop. I was hoping to find one but now I guess I need to figure out how to get one through Pop Asia.

I was just thinking about this one earlier. I preordered/prepaid, so I guess I have a credit waiting for me at GS now.

When this kind of vinyl isn't getting my money, the kind that spins in circles and plays music does.

Good to know. This has been on my GS preorder since around 6 months ago.

I moved my preorder to something else as soon as I heard this was cancelled in the US. I ultimately bought one on ebay for a reasonable price.

I really want to pick up pink chun li at some point too. I seem to remember her prices coming down a bit, but can't recall for sure.

I'm really not interested in gold ryu, especially for the price.
