Ryu's body was designed with a "Dragon Punch." Ryu's spring-loaded right arm could be pushed back, then released, causing it to spring forward in a punching motion.
Note that there are two cloth ribbons attached to Ryu's right hip.

A Street Fighter Movie version of Ryu was planned for release in 1994 but was ultimately canceled. Note that the Street Fighter Movie figures are not considered G.I.Joe figures.
