Why do people give me random Guile toys?

Maj · Post by **Maj** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 5:34 am

So, i was looking through some storage boxes that i hadn't opened in a while and i realized that people give me kind of a lot of random Guile garbage. Figured i'd share.

This is a keychain that someone must have bought for me cuz i sure as hell don't remember buying it:

SF2 Guile Key Chain

Someone actually bought the American SF Cartoon DVD for me. As you can see, it's still sealed because i fear unleashing it upon the world:

Street Fighter Code of Honor DVD front | Street Fighter Code of Honor DVD back | Street Fighter Code of Honor DVD angle

I guess omni thought it would be funny to get me a Guile mask which is totally not authentic anyway cuz it has eyebrows:

Guile mask front | Guile mask angle | Guile mask back

And finally, MrWizard got me a Guile J.I.Joe figure, but i can't remember where i put it. Maybe i lost it. Apparently that particular version of Guile came exclusively with the Sonic Boom Tank. If those plastic missles don't strike fear into the hearts of those evil capitalist mercenaries DeeJay and Sagat, well then, i don't believe there are any plastic missles that can.

Man i really need to get rid of this stuff. But if i do, even the garbageman will laugh at me.

...the garbage man will laugh at me.

If you really don't like it, and i can't imagine why not..you can sell it on ebay or something. Seriously, those are so cool, just do what ZachD did and buy shelves for all of them and put them on display and change your car's license plate to "SNCBOOM".

That Guile keychain is the shit. Don't you dare throw it away, at least donate it to Goodwill or something.

Why don't you ask them why they do it? They probably just had it, realized they didn't want it, and sent it to you.

Clearly none of the good people at Placo Products Co. have ever played Street Fighter before, or Ryu wouldn't be low blocking Ken's jump kick. Damn shame too, cuz that company claims to be located in Los Angeles so i can't even make an elitist home town pride remark.

I guess the Guile figure itself is cool but as a keychain? Keys take up enough room in my pocket without me carrying around an extra toy everywhere i go.

In fact the whole thing is a paradox. Keychain toys are for kids but kids don't have keys. There's maybe a one year period of time where kids get to have house keys before they become adults. How can a whole industry be based on selling products to a one-year age span? I guess there's always room on the car mirror but then why don't they call them mirror chains?

For girls. 'Cause you know, they all love Street Fighter.

N - You should see the shit people send ME.

PS: It's a whole bunch of NOTHIN'.

PPS: Except that awesome DVD!

You're totally focusing on the key potentiality of it far too much. It can hook on to anything. Backpack, bicycle, console controller cord (stick/pad), pants, cellphone, hair (with elastic band assist), wallet chain, ear (if you gauge them), leather jacket (if you ware one). And you could totally hang it from your rear-view mirror.

Keys would be the last place I'd put it. Too big, wouldn't fit in pocket.

And if I lost my keys that'd be like a double wammy, lost my keys AND my damn Guile. D:

Yeah, doug's right, I think it's just a bad name..."Key"chains can go anywhere. Even the guile cave

You know what? I'm convinced. My Guile keychain rocks.

However, that mask has got to go. It's too difficult storing that thing cuz it takes up a lot of space and it will get crushed if i put it under or behind anything. And it's damn ugly.

Any takers? I'll pay for shipping.

You know what? The gloves are off! I hereby challenge omni to a money match at Evo! Race to 20, in Cee Vee Ess ONE!!! Winner gets TWO AMERICAN DOLLARS and loser has to keep the Guile mask! Then anytime the winner wants to wear the Guile mask, the loser has to bring it out of storage in near mint condition or better. If the Guile mask gets crushed while in the loser's possession, the loser has to get a new one custom-made using only the finest leftover piñata pieces and the absolute top of the line paints purchased from the most reputable flea market in the area.

Too good. Do this shit on the stage. Forget marvel, it's all about guile masks now.

First to 20 in CvS1? That'll be the longest money match in history. Maybe you'll get your own whole DVD in the Evo collection.

Wait can I get in on this? I don't know how the hell I'd make it work. But I'm a straight up killah at cvs 1. At least in my own mind. But anyway, I'll play you for the guile mask!

Oh and just so you can practice my team will be

Ex Benimaru, King, Ken. Bet it.

Well, i'm not so sure that omni is down for the 90 hours of CvS1. If you're gonna be at Evo, i'm down to play you for a dollar a match until one of us runs out of money or one of us falls asleep, whichever comes first. But just so it's clear, we're not playing for the Guile mask. We're playing against it.

Maj · Post by **Maj** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:24 am

Looked through some old file backups a couple of days ago and happened to find this: the Guile Futon. At one point (quite a few years ago), i needed a couch and my parents offered to take care of it. Somehow they ended up getting that one. Totally random. What can i say?

Magnetro · Post by **Magnetro** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:41 am

Haha, cool.

Can't wait for the money match at Evo

I used to have a ton of SF2 keychains but I can't believe I lost them...I dont remember what happened to them : (. Ugh. If I ever find them I'll make sure to post them up.
