We haven't seen Viewtiful Joe a whole heck of a lot since the GameCube days, but if the cry of "Henshin a go-go, baby!" still burns in your heart, First 4 Figures has something for you.
The game figure producer announced via Facebook that Capcom's blazing red hero will arrive as the first in its new "Capcom All-Stars" line, with pre-orders opening 3rd March. Only one image has been released at this time, but what can be seen of the pose looks spot-on, from the hand gesture to the devil-may-care tongue lolling.
A mystery line-up of Capcom characters seems pretty enticing. Who could be next? Amaterasu? Phoenix Wright? Zack and/or Wiki? Who would you like to see?

Vanessa Z. Schneider statue. Do it, First 4 Figures. Just... give me a few months warning to save up for it. The Viewtiful statue is tempting enough.
@A01 I've been playing through PN03 recently, I'd love to see a fleshed out version of the game, with Shinji Mikami working some of that Vanquish magic into it along with Platinum Games.
I saw the picture and immediately thought a new game was announced, but a figure's nice too. I really wish Capcom would make another game though.
The cry of "Henshin a go-go, baby!" still burns in my heart. A new VJ title on WiiU would be a dream come true.
I thought I was done with collecting game figurines, but this might just be enough to tempt me, depending on how well the full figure turns out. Needs to be $50 or less, though.
Viewtiful Joe and Okami related figures plus some super nice (or at least batter then the ones the have up) Mega Man figures. Phoenix Wright would be cool, but I prefer more dynamic figures an I'm not to sure AA:PW would have much in terms of dynamic poses. Who knows though?
Amaterasu? YESYESYESYESYESYESYES. THAT WOULD HAVE ALL OF MY YES.
@A01 Yeah, their prices are a little intimidating.
@A01 Whoops... I was mixing up First4Figures with Good Smile. I got a great looking Other M Samus from Good Smile for $50.
For a second there I thought they were coming out with the figure because of an upcoming mash-up game called "Capcom All-Stars". I blame Sega and Sony (maybe Super Mario) for getting me into thinking that "All-Stars" mash-up gaming mentality
If they make an Amaterasu figure I will flip out. And then probably cry when I can't afford it.
Man I loved VJ1 and 2 on the Cube.
I love those Viewtiful Joe games on GameCube and Nintendo DS, so glad he was a part of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for Wii. He was my third main online for that game alongside Ken the Eagle. It would be nice if there's a Viewtiful Joe 3 or maybe a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 2.
Meanwhile, I keep dreaming of a 16:9 HD version of VJ 1&2...
Phoenix Wright is coming, there was a teaser image on their Facebook page a while back.
can we PLEASE get a new VJ game on the Wii U?
Dude I am all over this. Loves me some Viewtiful Joe.
Oh and I second a new game for Wii U. Shoot I'd even settle for a remaster. Please make this happen Capcom.
Phoenix wright. Take my wallet.
Vanessa PN03 please!!!
Viewtiful Joe, great games, they should have put him in Smash Brothers, he is s sure fit.
