Street Fighter IV figures recalled due to breathtaking typo

sf4oops-00

We’re no strangers to typing errors here at DZ, but this tip we received from a friend of ours – who wishes to remain anonymous – was too brilliant not to post.

It seems a large number of Street Fighter IV figures are being pulled from sale as we speak, after someone spotted an incredible mistake on the back of the Ryu figure’s packaging.

We won’t point it out for you, as it’s more fun to find it for yourselves. It’s kind of NSFW, but your boss/mum will need an ACTUAL hawk’s eyes to spot the mistake before you hurriedly minimise the window. Behold:

Amazing, no? Luckily this stands little chance of messing up the game’s retail performance on Friday, since literally everyone in the entire world is declaring it to be the best game ever.  Including us.

See you on Friday, eh?

  1. Amazing. Great spot.

  2. what am i lookin for

  3. A simply incredible accidently swear, Mr. Cure.

  4. I’m wondering if this was an intentional slip-up by some bored packaging designer who wanted to see if he could get away with it.
    It’s probably the best possible spelling mistake that could have been made on that box.

  5. omg i saw it..wow

  6. Nice, I had to look it at for a minute.

  7. hahaha.

  8. It was the first thing I noticed. Kinda awesome, really.

  9. Reminds me of being in the 7th grade.

    that is stupid…
    anyone that missed it, its CUNTry instead of country.

  13. These early editions could become highly collectable!

  14. really…….?

    cuntry?

    ………………..really?

    This was worth posting?

  15. My Cuntry Boner, it won’t go down!

  16. Lol thats great! At first I thought the mistake was that he had 3 legs (or 2 legs and a rather large appendage)

  17. A little help to all the non-native English speakers:

    The package says, “CUNTRY of Origin” when it should say, “Country”

    A “cunt” is 1) an extremely rude name for the female organ and 2) a mean way to call someone a “bitch”.

    So, one letter makes it a huge mistake!
