These are great. I'm a fan of this idea in general (I recall one of the Amiibo also tried to replicate "old school" graphics in figure form, too).

I feel like these particular character designs were best left in 1993. Laughing

Not nearly as expressive as the anime's designs, but a fun throwback.

You may believe this, but remember that Virtua Fighter 1 remains far easier to emulate than its successors.

Do any of these come with the arcade cabinet? Because that's a really nice finishing touch.

There's a funny running-gag in the anthropomorphized-Sega-girls series "Hi-sCool Seha Girls" where the Saturn girl is the only one who thinks the Chan fighters are "handsome", while the others wonder, "Uh, don't they look sort of.......angular? Shocked "

Even in this digital age, some people like seeing old-school computer or video game graphics. I think it stems mainly from nostalgia. Congrats to this company for staying faithful to the original design.
