Ōkamiden
In accordance with Capcom's upcoming Ōkamiden, limited-edition plushies and pillows are being made of Chibiterasu, the son of the wolf goddess Amaterasu from the previous game.
Darksiders
SOTA Toys has announced a partnership with THQ that will result in a series of high-end collectible art statues based on THQ's critically and commercially successful video game title, Darksiders. The first model to be released from this partnership will be a 14-inch statue of WAR, the lead character of the game and the first Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, atop his fiery mount, Ruin. The statue is currently still in the prototyping phase. Despite the obvious similarity to the earlier Death statue, War is part of a separate line, as it is property of THQ, whereas Death is a SOTA original.
Humping Robot keychain figure
The company is releasing a 5-inch tall keychain figure of the Humping Robot character from the stop motion television show Robot Chicken. These figures feature articulation in the neck, arms, hands, legs and even hips!
Ryu – Anniversary Edition Statue
For SOTA's 10th Anniversary they produced an 18-inch statue of Ryu from Super Street Fighter 4. This statue is a culmination of 10 years of experience and will be guaranteed to impress. Exceptionally bright LEDs illuminate Ryu in an awe-inspiring power-up pose, and are powered by USB cable which can connect to any powered 5v USB port or into an included US wall-socket adapter. The standard version is limited to 200 pieces, while the Satsui no Hadou variant is limited to 100 pieces.
Street Fighter resin statues
SOTA Toys' current flagship product is a line of 1/6 scale statues depicting characters from Capcom's popular fighting game series:
SOTA Nightmares
Returning to their horror background, SOTA has released several exceptionally detailed resin statues of H.P. Lovecraft's creatures, Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep, with Dagon ready for release mid-2010. Nightmares is not limited to Lovecraft's imaginings, however. SOTA is also releasing a series of statues based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. They will be made of the same resin material as the other aforementioned products. The first horseman, Death, has been released in early 2010. Although they have a similar namesake, SOTA Nightmares is not intended to be a continuation of the previous Nightmares of Lovecraft line.[1]
Past products
Street Fighter 15th Anniversary action figures
SOTA's Street Fighter line was unique in that the line-ups for each round were voted on by fans. SOTA had set up the voting so that popular characters are evenly distributed between the rounds of action figures. By delaying the release of the most popular characters, SOTA had produced more figures over a longer period of time, allowing obscure characters that would never sell on their own to be produced.
List of characters produced for the line:
- Round 1: Ryu, Chun Li, Bison, Sagat, Sodom, Evil Ryu
- Round 2: Ken, T. Hawk, Cammy, Blanka, Vega
- Round 3: Guile, Adon, Gen, Balrog, Sakura
- Round 4: Remy, Birdie, Akuma, Fei Long, Ibuki
- Exclusive: Gouken
Street Fighter Revolution Action Figures
In late 2007, SOTA released a new line of action figures known as Street Fighter Revolution. This line differs from the previous one in that the joints are character-specific, the sculpts differently styled, and the packaging is a highly detailed box rather than a
Preceding the Revolution line was Street Fighter Preview, a sort of teaser line for the then-upcoming Revolution line. Featuring Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Dan Hibiki, differently-colored variants were available, in limited quantity.
Street Fighter Rotocast Figures
SOTA produced a line of 10-inch pvc figures featuring details on par with their resin statue lineup. Rotocast figures feature actual fabric for the characters' clothing. Ryu and Sagat were produced for Round 1, both with variants. However the lineup was cancelled after the success of the resin figures.
