At the New York Toy Fair that took place this weekend, Square Enix Play Arts Kai had a ton of their figurines up for show and guys at ToyArk snapped some great pictures of these. Below and after the jump are images of the Ken, Sakura, Guile, Ibuki, Vergil and Dante figurines.

That second to last picture, with Guile's head, looks like he is screaming in anger/pain after being dismembered. Horribly disturbing.

I'm kinda disappointed in these figures. They went for the whole "intense" angle, and I don't think it worked to well on the more lighthearted characters like Ibuki and Sakura. On top of that, they go for over $60. Figma does better work for cheaper.

I really have no interest in these. They're nice and all, but they're characters who good figures already exist of for way less money (SOTA).

If they want people to pay $60, they should do something a little more exciting. Why not make Rufus, Abel, Hakan, Juri, and all the other people who never got a figure? Do we need more Ryus, Kens, Guiles, ect?

Ibuki and Sakura are very good IMO. Still have the entire sota set and still think they're the best out there.

This line is definately my favorate SF line ever released but I would like to see some characters who were never made before, like Rose for example. I hope they keep this line going long enough to get to some of the more obscure characters.

As far as the price tag, I would recommend waiting for a deal on Amazon or something. They will still be pretty expensive but I bet patient people will be able to get them for $50 or less.

Wow! These pics make them look like a**. Haha, I know, because I just bought Vergil tonight, and he looks clean as f**k! Although PAK isn't even close to the top of the line when it comes to collectors, like myself, he looked too badass. And I'm beyond picky.

@7 I agree, Rose with interchangable scarfs would be cool. Cody with a criminal upper tornado and knife prop would be cool too.

@10

Unfortunately the SFxT Minimate line is over. I was hoping to get Juri as well. Each Play Arts release has included one male and one female character. With 4 more females to go (Juri, C Viper, Makoto, and my favorate, Rose) I would think there would be a good chance of getting Juri if this line continues.

Seeing the Guile figurines i thought he was doing a one handed Sonic Boom. Then i realised it just the amount of hair gel he uses everyday...

The Sakura one looks fantastic. I've already got the Cammy one, might be a good time to expand the play arts collection

@18 Well, Juri IS meant to be SSF4's "protagonist" according to Capcom. If she doesn't get included in this line, and I mean right after this pair, it'll be Squeenix's biggest insult this side of Hitman: Absolution.

I'ma pretty big fan of the Play Arts Kai figures, especially after getting Meryl from Metal Gear Solid and should be getting Lara Croft also, since I've pre-ordered the CE of Tomb Raider. They look more amazing in person, believe me.

But I agree with what many have already said, I wish they would make figures of SF characters that haven't been made yet. I mean, when's Dudley and Rolento gonna get some love? Ah well, crossing my fingers that will change soon.

I don't get all the hate. These may not be the best figures ever made but they look really good. I can't think of a better series of SF figures that have ever been made. The Sota line (which I loved and have quite a few figures from) just doesn't compare to these in my oppinion:

I will admit that these are a lot more expensive however.

Man, these are nice, but I'm not for posable figures. I like statues. I just hate how the joints look.

@14,
I would love a Juri Figure personally. I'm not impressed by the Play Arts Kai for SFIV. I find that the best representations of them are in figures like the Dante and Virgil action figures. The MGS line of Play Arts Kai are sweet too. I would however rather a Juri Statue personally. Maybe with an LED in her eye.
