Street Fighter II Diorama Lights Up & Has In-Game Sounds

Street Fighter TNC Ryu BigBoysToys image 1

Bigboystoys HK would win any science fair in my book with this Street Fighter II diorama featuring Capcom’s hadoken master himself, Ryu.

The first of eight figurines to their upcoming Street Fighter T.N.C. line, Ryu here (about 6.7 inches tall in size) not only comes shipped in such an awesome pose, but also the miniature background inspired by his in-game fighting state that also lights up with classic sound effects. And yes, he does say “hadoken!”

Let’s just say the end result, which you can see video of directly below, is PERFECT.

According to their Facebook, Bigboytoys HK appears to be planning for Ryu’s shryuken-wielding bestie Ken for their next T.N.C. figure. For now though, you can pre-order the Ryu figurine and all its awesome splendor through Japanese gaming import shop Play-Asia for $89.99 (USD), to be shipped out to customers sometime in March.

Arcade Lights Bring the Arcade Experience Home (Minus the Games)

While many of us fans of classic arcade games would love to have a whole roomful of old arcade cabinets, we don’t always have the space, the money, or the understanding significant other to allow for such dalliances. ArcadeLights has the next best thing.

Instead of filling up tons of space with a complete arcade cabinet, ArcadeLights takes original game marquees and mounts them into wall sconces. They come in a wide variety of designs, and are the perfect addition to your gameroom. Whether you’re looking for Pac-Man, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, or TRON, they’ve got you covered.

arcadelights asteroids 620x366magnify

Prices range from about $85 up to $225(USD) depending on the rarity and cost of the particular marquee. Head on over to their Etsy shop now to check their current stock. Keep in mind that due to the age of these marquees, they’re not all in perfect condition, but that just adds to the arcade-y charm, IMHO.

And if you miss playing the classics, you can always load up some games on your arcade emulator while you admire your shiny new wall light.
