Hasbro And Legendary Entertainment Collaborate On New ‘Street Fighter’ Toy Line
by Gary Catig
Hasbro has a history with the popular video game franchise Street Fighter. During the heyday of Street Fighter II — both at home and in arcades — the toy company created a line of action figures, vehicles, and playsets featuring the title. More recently, they created mash-ups with their Power Ranger line. Now, Hasbro has announced a new licensing partnership with Legendary Entertainment, the production company behind the upcoming film reboot.
The collaboration will bring the film’s iconic characters to life through a line of action figures, toys, and collectibles timed with the release of the live-action Street Fighter movie, which hits theaters on October 16th.
Street Fighter, boasts a star-studded cast, including Noah Centineo (Ken), Andrew Koji (Ryu), Callina Liang (Chung-Li), Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai (Akuma), David Dastmalchian (M. Bison), Cody Rhodes (Guile), Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Balrog), Jason Momoa (Blanka), and many others.
Imagine collecting an action figure with the likeness of Rhodes from a third toy company! He has his wrestling figures from Jazwares for AEW and Mattel for WWE already. With his Guile from Hasbro, you can set them up like the Spider-Man pointing meme. All jokes aside, the newly announced toy line allows fans to bring the action home and reenact their own World Warrior Tournament.
Expect more news about the Street Fighter line in the months to come.
