Im pleased to announce this new line of Street Fighter Large Scale Busts.  They are going to be a lot of fun to sculpt as Capcom and I have decided to give the characters a realistic look as opposed to the standard anime/sprite look.

The bust measures 10″ tall x 6″wide x 4.75″ deep. It is between 1/3rd scale and 1/2 scale.  Its big enough to get in more sculptural detail than you normally see on a bust yet not so big that they take up too much space.

Each hand painted statue comes with real wooden beads and a signed certificate of authenticity by the sculptor, yours truly, Jerry Macaluso.  Go to popcultureshocktoys.com to see final painted pictures.

The Akuma Bust is limited to 300 pieces and the Shin Akuma Bust is limited to 175 pieces.  The Shin version is ONLY available at www.sideshowtoy.com beginning  Thursday June 25th !

Retail price will be $175.00usd with expected ship date of late October 2009.

Sculpting this Akuma was a blast.  I always like to sculpt Akuma but getting to do him realistically with skin textures was extra fun.  Below are some pics of the sculpt. Click to see larger images, click again to see full size images.
