Etchstar’s officially licensed collection of Capcom’s Street Fighter designs are up and have started to generate a lot of fan chatter.  We even we got some blog love at one of our favorite gadget sites, Gizmodo (thanks Mark).


Etchstar is the only place where you can get your favorite art, characters, logos, designs and more to laser engrave your favorite stuff.

We knew it was a good sign when we recently spotted an original arcade Street Fighter II over at Mahalo HQ earlier this week.  So this one’s for you, fellow gamers.  Enjoy… and we’ve got more great stuff from Capcom coming soon!  Keep you posted.
