This Month On Edge

The things that caught our eye during the production of E284

STATUETTE

There’s a lot of StreetFighter tat kicking around the offices we inhabit at Future HQ. Some of it’s even ours, though we’ve got nothing to do with the fancy-dress Ken outfit that’s been lying next to the magazine archive for the past half-decade. We’re far too classy for that. Sadly, we’re nowhere near classy enough to

be able to cover the $378 that Singaporean design outfit Kinetiquettes is asking for just one of its astonishingly high-end figures of StreetFighterIV characters Oni and Evil Ryu, which join together into a single diorama. Only 300 of each of these

12-inch-high polystone statuettes are being made, and that combination of inevitable scarcity and high production values has only driven up the price, meaning this is the first videogame

merch we’ve ever seen that has a monthly payment option.

TWEETS

Yeah you know when Lara got upset about killing that deer? It’s because she couldn’t poison it and throw it off a roof instead
