I have the Collector's Edition and have been posting pics on my Twitter and Instagram (which I won't link because I'm not trying to get popped for self-promotion).

The Infinity Stones do indeed look pretty damn janky, but the figures look *great*. They feel lighter and hollower than I expected, so I really hesitate to call them "statues," but it doesn't matter - all four of them are real lookers, especially X and Chun-Li.

But yeah... those Infinity Stones are a shame.

I think he meant for all the announced characters.

60$ for the base game + 30$ for the Season Pass.

Oh. That makes sense.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I don't get it, the eggs are how I remember them looking in the comic back in the day, thought they should be shiny and not matte.

It's the left image that looks weird to me

--edit

Oh I see, it's a an angle issue

Capcom is just hitting it out of the park with their collector's editions.

Last year I bought the LE of the Mega Man Legacy Collection with that Mega Man statue that came with an E tank.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0188JBLBG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

The statue arrived separately from the game. With no instructions. At all. Eventually I figured out what you do. You touch his left foot to the right side of the E-tank and Mega Man lights up. Wireless charging.

After that worked for a few seconds, I decided to unplug it and move it elsewhere in the room. It shocked me, blew a fuse in the E-tank and it would no longer light up. Returned it with an hour of when Amazon delivered it.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I'm truly shocked.

I mean it's not like the game is a complete low budget half-assed effort... oh wait.

not to dismiss your complaints but...your talking about the very series that was spawned by rehashing years old sprites of various fighting games together

Infinite combo found that can be used to run out the clock.

How fast does it build meter for the opponent? Counter switch obviously would mean he has to stop it, so I guess it would be good at baiting meter out of the opponent.

 

[deadscreensky]

It is old news. It's just no one bothered to make a thread.

Never said it wasn't. But people are perfectly okay to keep talking about the same stuff for a few weeks, especially when it's a $200 product that hasn't even been released yet!

More like some people bring up the same shit over and over just to derail any thread they can, like you are right now. "Yeah I know SFV has been out for a year, but I just want to remind everyone that it didn't have arcade mode at launch so I didn't buy it."

You have an incredibly... generous definition of a thread derail. I'm talking about some of the responses from the defenders in this very thread. How is what I'm talking about remotely off-topic?

All the funny pictures and laughing about Capcom's scam here seem to be going on without any issue.

 

[Choppasmith]

Man, I was so happy to pre-order this, but with how the game was shaping up, I cancelled my order. Looks like I really dodged a bullet.

Saaammmeee.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Well, they aren't real infinity stones...so...okay?

What's your point? Since they're not actually fictional super powerful artifacts they have to look like bargain bin dog toys? For fuck's sake, "defense force for everything" indeed.

 

[Brock Reiher]

[/url]

This is why people are upset. People thought they were getting actual cosmic artifacts, but Capcom fucked up again.

 

[Forward]

Paul Newman is the super secret LE boss, isn't he?

 

[Trickster]

You can't even take them out of the box either from what I understand. Dunno if that's been mentioned yet

Outside the box? What were you thinking?

Let's face it. Capcom didn't mean to egg you on.

 

[Bishop89]

Hahahaha this is so bad

 

[sixteen-bit]

Surely they've upgraded to Shitcom by now

Shit takes money.

Counter switch says that aint no infinite for long. Course there goes 2 meters. Full bars means you can only break it twice.

 

[Durden77]

Definitely not the right thread for this. Also already been patched out.

 

[Bossking]

.

Fixed for accuracy.

And here I was under the impression that the statuettes were at least good. I mean, they're not horrible but where's all the advertised detail?

 

[Ryce]

Holy shit, that Captain Marvel statuette looks like a toy from Burger King.

 

[JayEH]

And there's the beginning of a new meme (justified like the others). Game was always DOA.

 

[Blueblur1]

I did the same thing.

 

[Gren]

Lol what the hell? I thought people were saying the statues were nice? They were just basing that off the marketing?

Jesus.

The eggs were really stupid, but yeah, this seems like it's completely crossed into false advertising now.

 

[jett]

Kotaku article.

lol

Anyone expecting the level of quality of the render is a fool. These things almost always end up looking terrible. Most CE's are such a huge ripoff.

 

[DR2K]

At least they look closer to their in game models

 

[Orochinagis]

To be honest the gems originally where like eggs, marvel movies make them looks like chunks and changed their color but still

 

[MrBS]

Damn son.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

it's like the textures didn't load!

 

[ShirAhava]

Everything about this game except maybe the core gameplay is so JANK!

 

[Inviusx]

Pretty much 90% of CE loot is garbage. I have the shelves to prove it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

And that's no eggsageration

 

[LordOfLore]

WTF

 

[qcf x2]

lol

This is the truest truth. Any figurines from CE's are likely to be poorly constructed, despite the sometimes exorbitant price hikes. This isn't good, but not Witcher 2 bust bad. But yeah of course they shouldn't use the doctored pics on the box itself.

At least they look closer to their in game models

Damn

WTF

Hopefully that's a one off issue.

 

[sixteen-bit]

WTF

 

[RockmanBN]

I'm dead

 

[LucidMomentum]

WTF

Man they real Cacpcom'd it up didn't they lol.

Also off topic but I got to meet Piggynukka at EVO when we played DDR together at the 0-2 Arcade.
Fun times, she's p nice.
