Viewtiful Joe Figure is Ready for His Close-up

First in First 4 Figures' Capcom All-Stars line

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.

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?

@A01 Yeah, their prices are a little intimidating.

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.

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.
