Kidrobot’s second Street Fighter mini series is a compact time capsule from the early-2010s designer-toy crossover boom. Released in 2013, it brought Capcom’s World Warriors back as squat, stylized three-inch vinyl figures—not as straight arcade-model reproductions, but as a mix of newly represented fighters and familiar faces in alternate forms. More than a decade later, a sealed box still offers the original experience: one unknown fighter from a 14-design assortment.
The August 2013 rematch
Kidrobot previewed Street Fighter Series 2 on July 31, 2013 and announced an August 29 release at Kidrobot stores, its website, and selected retailers worldwide. The original retail price was $9.99, which is also the current price shown for this sealed BlindBoxes product. Kidrobot described the wave as 14 new three-inch vinyl designs, with “new characters” joined by foundation fighters in alternate form.
That distinction matters when comparing Series 2 with the first Kidrobot Street Fighter assortment. This is a continuation rather than a reissue: the point was to widen the playable-character shelf while remixing established fighters. Contemporary retailer copy specifically called out Cammy, Sakura, Fei Long, Gen, Charlie, Gouken, and Akuma among the wave. It is a roster built for fans who recognize more than the franchise’s headline duo, while alternate treatments keep repeat characters from feeling like simple duplicates.
Reading the printed odds
The photographed checklist panel is unusually useful because it shows the assortment ratios rather than leaving collectors to reconstruct a case from opened-box reports. Four pictured designs are marked 2/20 on the top row. The next two rows contain three more 2/20 designs and five designs marked 1/20. Two additional characters appear only as black mystery silhouettes with ?/?? beneath them.
The disclosed ratios total 19/20. That leaves a combined 1/20 probability associated with the two mysteries if the printed assortment math is taken at face value, but the package does not reveal how that remainder is split. It would therefore be inaccurate to assign either mystery a specific individual rarity. The five printed 1/20 designs are demonstrably short-packed compared with the seven 2/20 designs, so they are the tougher disclosed pulls. The mystery figures may be chase-level pulls in collector conversation, but the evidence here does not establish their individual odds or an official Kidrobot “Chase” designation.
For practical collecting, 2/20 means an average of two examples in a nominal 20-box distribution and 1/20 means one. Those are production ratios, not a promise that any single display or loose group of boxes will contain an exact result. A sealed individual box preserves the surprise but cannot tell you whether it came from an untouched case.
What the sealed package tells you
The box uses distressed blue-and-white rays, large fighter portraits on the narrow panels, and Kidrobot × Street Fighter branding. The front artwork presents the collaboration immediately; the rear checklist is the important collector panel because it records both the visible roster art and the original odds. There is no window, so the enclosed character cannot be identified without opening the box.
The product photographs also document real shelf wear. The top flap looks slightly bowed, several corners show compression or creasing, and the lower edges have handling wear. Glossy lines and wrinkling suggest an outer wrap, while the product is represented as a sealed blind box, but condition-focused buyers should judge the supplied photos rather than expect a perfectly sharp archival carton. For an opener, modest box wear may be inconsequential; for a sealed-package display, it is part of the object’s condition.
Who this box suits
This is strongest as a single nostalgic pull, a gift for a Street Fighter player, or an odds-documented addition to a Kidrobot mini-series collection. A buyer pursuing one exact fighter should generally seek a confirmed loose figure instead, because the two mystery slots and multiple alternate forms make character targeting impossible from the exterior. At three inches, however, any pull fits naturally beside other Kidrobot minis without demanding the space of a larger statue.
