Andei fuçando os blogs do pessoal da Sota Toys, onde respondem algumas dúvidas dos fãs, encontrei umas coisas interessantes sobre o round 5 dos Street Fighters. Deverão ser lançados Zangief, Honda, Dhalsim e mais um personagem escolhido pelos fãs, a partir das sugestões vindas de alguns fóruns.

how many characters are you guys planning to have for round 5?and what's their composition?(all males, 1 female and 4 males, or the sota's usual 1 bad guy, 1 good guy, 1 big guy, 1 bombshell, and 1 random character thing)
The next series is gonna be a little different, it’s a series of four figures, Zangief, E.Honda, Dhalsim and a character decided by the fans.

a few quick streetfighter figure questions. why the changes in production on series 5 figures? are sales declining or liscences expiring? is series 5 going to be the last one? if so i have to thank you guys for at least getting all the core figures(original 8 plus 4 bosses) out to complete the set and not leave us(the fans/consumers) hanging like other companies in the past. if it isn't then i will be looking foward to more high quality sf2 figures in the future from you guys.
We plan on making the whole cast, the change in direction is to re-launch the line.

In Sota Street Fighter Series 5, will Dee Jay be a part of it? Then all 17 characters of Street Fighter II, including Akuma, will be out!!
If he wins the vote he’ll be in.

Youve stated that E. Honda, Dhalsim and Zangief will be released for series 5. If this is correct, then why am I still able to preorder juni, Juli, Guy, Zangief, Rolento, and Dee-Jay for a december 06 release? Is this false or just not updated? Should I maintain a preorder for SF5 with these figures listed? Is the voting that took place irrelevant at this point? Will there be voting in the future? Will you have preorders from your website for coming products (would help build, track and calculate sales)? is it worth suggesting ideas for future products or promotions (not a sarcastic question)? There used to be a worker from Sota that posted at figures.com. Is he still there. Thanks for taking the time to read and/or answer my questions. Love SF and DS figs. Hoping to see more of them. Excellent sculpts and articualtion.
Those pre-orders aren’t updated. We still read the threads, the main ones we read are http://www.action-figure.com, http://www.fwooshnet.com, and http://www.moviemaniacs.net. You can make suggestions in those forums, I read all of them. (Also we have not updated the retailers yet as the fifth figure isn’t decided. Once the fifth figure is decided the retailers will be able to change the line-up.)
Achei bacana essa iniciativa de fazer a figura do personagem escolhida pelos fãs.
E aí, algum palpite para quem deveria ser lançado junto com Zangief, Honda e Dhalsim?
A única coisa ruim é que a nova série só deve sair pro final do ano mesmo...
Essa serie com certeza promete muito... Agora o Zanief ja vi a foto dele em algum lugar... so nao lembro onde... 
O Zangief eu já sabia há tempos, mas o honda e o Dhalsim são legais tb. Mas o Zangief tem que esculachar, tem que ser muito mau mesmo.
