The most important bit of merchandising is obvious. Figures. Which is where Mr Kenneth Masters steps in.
As you can probably see, there's a fair bit of detail to that. It's even using fabric for his gi, which is a nice touch I suppose, but I've never been sure about that. It's also eighteen inches in height, and has a rather fetching price of around £170.
Of course, maybe you don't like Ken. Maybe all his shoryukens and frequent moments of winking and giving a thumbs up at the camera has made you dislike him (although it shouldn't).
In that case, Capcom are continuing their Capcom Girls Collection, which has been going for a good few years now. The latest entry is the lovely Ms White.
Despite having a release date in July, for some reason they're not going for her classical look sported in Street Fighter 4, and is instead in her Alpha series outfit. The main problem with that is her beret isn't as awesome.
It's also got a much more reasonable price, coming in at around £55. So, some of the recent merchandising is pretty pricey, but often it's worth paying a bit more for some of these figures. They're often limited, and finding them after they've gone out of circulation can be incredibly frustrating.
That is, of course, if you like such things.
