X-Men vs. Street Fighter Toys

Marvel Entertainment subsidiary Toy Biz Inc. is planning a line of toys based on Capcom's X-Men vs. Street Fighter title. Both a hero and villain will be packed into each set, with matchups of Ryu vs. Magneto, Cyclops vs. M. Bison, Wolverine vs. Akuma, and Sabertooth vs. Ken. The bodies of the toys are apparently made from older Toy Biz toys, with brand-new heads created for the line.

It has yet to be announced when the toys will ship - it's highly likely that they'll hit store shelves by the end of the year. If the toys sell well, the company reportedly plans to continue the line. For a look at shots of the toys, check out the following link to the excellent toy web site, Toymania.
