1993 Zangief: Russian Bear Wrestler (Street Fighter II)
Includes: rifle, machine gun, submachine gun, missile launcher, missile (2), grappling hook, string, figure stand
Zangief featured an all new head sculpt. His chest and arms were borrowed from 1989 Gnawgahyde and his waist and legs were borrowed from 1991 B.A.T. (v2). 1993 continued the tradition of oversized, spring-loaded weapons. These powerful weapons shoot over 10 feet.
1993 introduced the weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.
Zangief's orange weapons tree included three rifles, two missiles, and a figure stand.
Zangief also came with a spring loaded orange grappling hook launcher, an orange grappling hook, and a black string.
