After introducing numerous fighting games to compete with the exploding popularity of the Street fighter franchise, SNK introduced the King of Fighters series. The game would collect the best characters from some of their popular franchises and put them together in one game. Eventually, the King of Fighters series became the flagship fighting game franchise for SNK’s Neo Geo based arcade machines. Over the years, there have been a few companies who have brought action figures to the fans based on the game. The latest releases are coming from Good Smile Company as part of their Figma style action figures.
At Winter Wonder Festival 2017, we were treated to the first two figures in a new Figma King of Fighters line. Now a few new photos of the upcoming King of Fighters Figma Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami have been released. The new photos give us a great look at the sculpts, articulation, interchangeable parts and effects pieces that will be included. We also get a look at how the Figma articulated figure stands will attach to the figures. Pre-orders for the figures are set to go live on March 28th. We’ll update with official images and details then.
Read on to see the new photos.
New Photos of King of Fighters Kyo and Yagami Figma
Hell yah! I love the KOF games and Kyo is my fave character. Hoe we get more characters like billy kane and blue mary and king.
I like the look of these figs, but I'd really like to see a larger spectrum of release. I'm interested in seeing versions of Geese, Andy, Kim Kaphwan, Billy Kane, Tung Fue Rue, Duck King, Joe, and (of course) Mai. I lUUUUUV KOF, but gimme some hungry wolves.
Why does Iori tie his damn knees together? That's always bugged me since he first popped up in KOF '95.
Whatever happened to this guy? Did he come out?
Also these look ok. The sculpts look at bit soft. Not really impressed.

Well now... Give me Robert Garcia and Ryo Sakazaki and I will be a happy boy.
These look really good, but sadly I have no connection to KoF at all. It's among the very few fighting game franchises I could never really get into.
But for those who do love it these figures are a real treat.

I'm not super feeling the sculpts. They still look a little soft but I can understand if they're going with something more stylized. I'll probably get Iori, but I like the more modern or NESTS Kyo far more than this design. Hopefully we'll see Kim, Mr Karate, and eventually Shen Woo down the line. Would like to see other SNK licenses like Samurai Shodown eventually. I need a Yoshitora figure bad.
But I really wish Bandai would get onto some Soul Calibur or Tekken figures. Especially if they use older designs from the more iconic games. A Soul Calibur 2 Nightmare or Tekken 3 Jin for example.
