If you’ve been reading Time Extension for a while, you may have heard us talk about the retro enthusiast and archivist MrTalida in the past.
They’ve been behind some amazing preservationist-based projects over the years, with one of our favourite projects of theirs being the ongoing series Keshi Corner, where they go to the effort of tracking down rare Japanese Keshi-Gomu figures and 3D scanning them so that they are still readily available for others to print off and enjoy.
In the past, we’ve reported on a bunch of releases and milestones related to the fascinating project, including their preservation of various old Mario and Zelda toys, but recently they’ve achieved yet another amazing feat that is worthy of celebration, managing to locate and scan a full set of Street Fighter II figures from the Japanese company Bandai.
The set, according to MrTalida, was released exclusively in Japan back in 1992 to coincide with the SNES game and includes 20 toys in total.
All of the 8 main characters from the SNES game are present (such as Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, etc) and come in two different poses. The remaining four figures, meanwhile, are based on the non-playable bosses M. Bison, Vega, Balrog, and Sagat.
You can download the full set here.
Go on.... treat yourself to a new game.

Wow, this is such an awesome find! Street Fighter II toys from the ’90s? That’s pure nostalgia right there. I remember having a few of those figures back in the day, and they were always a blast to play with. It’s amazing that MrTalida is preserving these gems and making them available for everyone to enjoy again. I love the idea of being able to 3D print them too—what a cool way to keep the spirit of those classic games alive! Can’t wait to check out the full set and maybe even relive some epic battles with my old favorites like Ryu and Chun-Li. Thanks for sharing this!
