Both covers look sweet, can’t decide, will prolly wind up buying both. Especially since Ryu and Chun-Li are close to each other on both.
Are Ikeno & Shinkiro going to draw sketches like the other Udon artists? Which day are they going to be at SDCC? I don’t mind to buy a lot of stuffs from Udon if I can get sketches from them, hahaha.

A little more info -
The SF EC hard cover edition is a revised edition of the now sold out first printing. We have gone in and fix all the minor mistakes that we can find, and this hard cover will be printed on 100 lb paper VS the 50 lb paper that is used in the first printing. It will be sold at $80.00 per copy, with autographs by both Ikeno and Shinkiro.
Shin Akuma bust will be selling at 50.00 each. The lucky ones might get the ultra secret variant… (what is it?? hee hee… guess who…)
Before anyone start posting your usual “UDON is screwing us” -
For those who cannot attend, we have arranged with herofix and rupps to set aside some copies of the busts and SFEC HC to be available in their webstore.
And for those who complains about variants, and how we are ripping you off with it, I want you guys to keep in mind our expense on this convention:
On top of the thousands of dollars that San Diego is charging us for the booth space, we are paying for Ikeno & Shinkiro’s air ticket, 3 hotel rooms for the 3 artist and their translator/manager. We are also covering for all of UDON creator’s hotel rooms during the almost one week event. And of coz, it cost us money to print the books, produce the busts, and ship the goods, pay for storage and pays the union people to bring in the goods to the convention hall by the pound(yes, that is extra believe it or not!). Yes, we will be making some money, but afterall, we want to make this SD Con a nice event for the fans to be able to meet some legendary Capcom Artists!

Man, if you can’t figure out who that secret bust is of you failed Street Fighter Fandom 101. Nice surprise there Studio Udon!
haha… anyway. Unlike some think, this secret bust is more than just a head change. The forearms has been resculpted, the shoulders are different, and the back engraving are removed. So, it is essentially a totally new cast.
