Having a bendy cape at this price is unheard of, that alone makes this figure worth it IMO
And more than that, this is a wired cape of a very good quality
I could be wrong but I think we got a bendy robe for the neca pinhead which the retail is around 30$ so it’s not entirely unheard of
Something to note, the branding on these is Ultra SF2 which is the most recent version released on the Switch. The box art face is definitely the SSF2 game art but the head sculpt does look closer to the HD USF2 option. Its a bit of a mish-mash but i dont mind, feels like theyre trying to thread the needle for a single iconic look and peoples mental image of these characters is a blend of 30 years
Idk. I think most people collecting these know the major different looks for the characters and would prefer those distinct looks to be represented across different releases.
The cape's based on the Street Fighter Alpha cape: the one in Super Street Fighter 2's a cloak he wraps around himself, but Juhn's a huge fan of the Alpha cape so he asked Capcom for permission to use it, and they said yes
And he had a cape like this in the animated movie predating even Alpha, so it's not completely out of place. We need variants, I tell you! Jada should make all the different looks.
Oooh shut upppp with your life stories…
I can agree with the head sculpt comments but its really reaching for some criticisms from me. For my money, this is the best toy line.
Ye the alternate head for fei long was pretty rough too. Mine is a completely different colour to the body
There is a Target in my area that keeps respawning these figures.
Which target would that be? Please do tell.
That's lucky
@@insufficientfunds076 That’s like asking someone where their lucky fishing hole is at.
For $25 these are awesome. There are figures 3× the price that have issues so to have these figures at a fraction of the price AND good packaging it's tough to complain. It's much easier to nitpick a pricey SHF or Storm or Mafex or Yamaguchi cuz they cost $100 or so. They're at the Marvel Legends and McFarlane price point but much better.... to get the added paint would increase the price by atleast $10 in my opinion, of course. I would buy every figure by Jada over any Marvel Legends or McFarlane figure hands down. For the price they knock it outta the park
I agree with the few negative points that Anthony made; but I still bloody love this figure. He feels solid and poses very well.
I thought about adding some shading to the mouth for the grimacing face.
If Hasbro put this much effort into their Marvel Legends figs then I'd buy more. Most of their figures can't do the splits (including Spidey) and they insist on using waist cuts ab crunches and ball hinged necks.
Yeah, I constantly hear from hasbroboys that ball hinged necks are necessary for such poses as Iron Man's flying pose, but this is completely untrue. This Bison can do the same with his neck and much-much more, hasbro's necks are 100% inferior in any way.
My Target had all Ryu, Chun Li, and Fei Long, hopefully theyll have Bison, this line is definitely one of the best ones
Good chance they probably already got Bison and Dhalsam, I had to ask for them at mine cause they were kept in the back.
My walmart has Ryu, ken, dhalsim, bison, and chun li. Needless to say, I'm a lucky man
@@hammskie05 very so, I need to check again i need bison
I wish Jada did Judge Dredd 😢
Yes yes yes! I would love this as well.
Great line and great review thanks!
Sometimes I feel like they are matching alpha and SF4 designs closer than sf2. Bison has the gray/green cape more prominently in alpha 3. I feel like Fei's portrait is spot on SF4, less sf2.
I love these. Target sells out fast, so I pretty much use Amazon.
I also have it on preorder at BBTS. My targets take forever to get them. Love the Jada Street Fighter line.
This looks awesome. Seems more close to the Alpha version to me, which is fine as I loved the Alpha series.
The cape part yes. When they do an Alpha Bison it’s going to be MASSIVE
the alpha art is just so much better than sf2 honestly
I'm hoping someone at some point will make SF3 figures
I would like to see Jada put out fighter stage dioramas.
Duarte studios has made 2 scenes so far and they look incredible!!
Still in onboard for the Jada line and as long as I can get DeeJay and T. Hawk I’m happy. I have the old Sota Toys figures and they’re starting to fall apart and have extremely loose hip joints.
Fun fact: you can easily swap the Jada Street Fighter heads for their Sota counterparts, I made a custom Dan Hibiki using a Jada Ryu I dyed pink and painted the chest black like Dan’s undershirt.
I got Fei Long not so long ago, and I must say, everything people praised about Jada Toys is true !! They're very good, and I can't wait to collect the rest of the Street Fighter line.
Honestly I’m all in with Jada’s 1/12th lines. The price and quality is too damn good in my opinion, I’m just hoping Sagat will be a super tall boy whenever we get him.
Definitely agree with you about the softness on some of these sculpts.
It’s a middle ground I’m not particularly happy with it feels like they’re trying to mix SF2 with the softer alpha aesthetics but I’d prefer if they just did both separately. Alpha is my favorite I’d buy figures that really committed to that style instantly
I enjoy them, but the headsculpts are very lacking. Ryu's grimacing face looks especially terrible.
I remember hearing Juhn say that he'd like to redo these figures a couple times. So who knows if they'll redo "that" headscuplt. 🙏
The Street Fighter Alpha cape gives me hope that they'll do an Alpha version of Chun Li in her athletic outfit. I've been waiting for a good figure of that look in this scale .
I’m all in on the Jada SF line. Can’t wait to get this figure.
just got mine today, pretty good
Whether they're good or bad overall I don't know if it's a reasonable expectation that the head sculpts specifically match the super street fighter portraits. To me those always seemed like exaggerated one off caricatures rather than the canonical look of the fighters.
I initially thought this figure was too small for M.Bison, but after looking at their Official heights...
Bison's official height is 5'11 at best he's 6'0.
Ryu is 5'9. 5'10 at best so, I think they scale pretty decent.
In the animation and games they seem to exaggerate the heights but officially that's their heights.
And Bison is the shortest of the 4 bosses, lol
True
I'm still all in on this line, at least for all the mainline releases but some of the exclusives like pink Chun-Li with her victory pose accessories are winning me over.
My biggest gripe with the entire line and Jada as a whole is distribution. I got lucky finding all of them at Target but the only fig that's still there is Fei Long. I've not once seen Bison or Dhalsim in person yet nor any of the Megaman figures aside from Amazon/BBTS/other online retailers. It's frustrating but at least getting them online is easy enough.
I'm not that interested in alt colors, so I'm not too big on the pink Chun alt having extra accessories. I'd like the accessories for the default Chun, so an accessory pack would be ideal.
I walked into my target the other day I found bison Dhalsim and the Pink Chun Li.
I saw a Fei Long once at Target, but that's it. I've been waiting for BBTS for what feels like forever.
Yeah the angry head would be my biggest nitpick. It definitely needs a wash to bring out the sculpt better. And help distinguish the mouth and eyes from the rest of his face.
He only wears his cape before the fight starts. Capcom did approve them on this design if jada wanted to add the cape.
Yeah.
Oh, how I have been waiting for this one! M. Bison is my second favourite Street Fighter character after Ryu, and Jada did not disappoint - this figure is bloody fantastic! Great review, Mister Anthony! 👍
Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹
Same, my target sucks
I'm looking forward to getting this. The face sculpt is pretty soft. I'm used to how he looked in the animated movie. May be the plastic not being opaque enough. I still like the SOTA sculpts over these. @AnthonysCustoms any chance of getting some JADA Street Fighter head sculpts from you?
Once i have time to do it yes
Just pre-ordered him yesterday, actually! I figured "it was Tuesday" so I might as well!
That's good reasoning
Chun Li’s dad rolling in his grave right now
I want to be all in on this line, but as a non-US collector I find all the retail/convention exclusives really alienating. It’s hard enough finding the regular releases for a decent price considering Jada’s non-existent brick and mortar offering in the UK
Great stuff!I don't know how many times I've watched your SOTA figure reviews. I passed on this Bison due to scale. I customized a Funko savage world Bison head and put it on the SOTA figure.Its perfection...im going with SOTA for Balrog Bison, Sagat.. I modded my NECA Guile and Akuma (gave em asses, a Kanji, and dogtags). Gonna go Jada for everyone else. My Jada Ken is getting the flame effect from ToyBiz lol. Ryu got a custom paint job. May give Chun Li the playmates head customized.
My Target finally got Ryu and Fei Long in stock. And someone stole both their effect parts
Despicable
All in. Can’t wait to get mine. Would love a chonky boy/ultra thick Alpha Bison. This looks like a mix between that and SF2. Would love to see Jada do other Capcom characters like Strider Hiryu, Hayato, Jin Saotome, etc from MvC!
Love Jada toys! Great figures for a great price! Value wise I think they might be the best company out there.
Hopefully, they do more capcom figures , like darkstalkers
I agree with the faces bugging me a bit, but they made adjustments to Fei Long and the update looks much better. I'm hoping they do the same for Ken, because I won't buy the one they first released since he looks silly to me. Overall, I do like collecting these alongside the Storm Collectibles offerings.
I love this line.
Can't wait to finish it.
Awesome video Anthony always enjoy watching your reviews keep it up brother👍👍
Thanks 👍
Definitely you cannot complain about anything when they are offering so much for only 25 bucks.
I do love this figure. But unfortunately, my Bison's right shoulder pad couldn't be clipped. Idk if it's just me or anyone else has the same problem, but overall, I still like this figure.
I had my M. Bison posed for about 2 or 3 weeks in the pose at 11:31 and when I went back to add the cape his inner left bicep had s small silver line bleed from it. Not gonna lose any sleep over it, but definitely a QC issue that may happen overtime if not brought to attention.
You're talking about paint transfer?
@@AnthonysCustoms if that's the correct terminology for then yes sir.
If it's just paint transfer then it's not qc. There's not much that can be done to prevent that 100%
@@AnthonysCustoms Fair enough. If I can deal with the small cylinder on the left side of his cape not fully clipping in 100% securely, I can live with this too.
Found Bison today at my Target along with Player 2 Chun Li and Dhalsim. Cool figure line!
That's a super lucky find
Great line of figures! Really enjoying them.
Love collecting these, they're so solid.
i really appreciate the compassions being more diverse, thanks for that change anthony
Happy to help
I’m still 100% in. My chun li was a little wobbly unfortunately but vote with your wallet people. Why would I ever pay ML price when jada is doing this well, even with a price increase I’d pick jada
As great as these figures have been turning out, I'm just not interested in buying Street Fighter figures. But if they ever get to Mega Man X figures, and if they're as good as these, I'll buy the hell out of them.
Can't wait to get my hands on this
There's something I noticed with my Jada sf2 figures and that is the paint chips very easily after some handling. This has happened to my Ryu Chun Li and Ken already.
What paint? They're molded plastic with some slight shading. There shouldn't be anything chipping.
@@AnthonysCustoms Ryu's belt in black is not black underneath. Chun li's face also can chip off. I assume it is paint
Yeah in some places there is paint but you really shouldn't be seeing chipping in those places.
I just hope that they make a deluxe version that comes with a grinning or laughing face. You can't have an M Bison that doesn't have that evil toothy grin
I haven’t seen M.Bison or Dhalsim in the wild, but I have them preordered on BBTS, so whichever comes first, I will own them.
The cheap plastic feel made me go back to the figuarts, I liked both but prefer the premium feel.
in my country, you can find find these Jada Toys figures everywhere
Which country
Waiting for cammy, but , yea, like you mentioned in the review, I wish their faces were better. But overall , it is a really good line so far!
The new releases for the jada Street fighter waves on only available on the west coast or the us
The light brown hair really throws me off; that’s one my biggest disappointments with this figure. I dont think it has that colour in game or in his portraits
Love it I just got Ryu will get ken and definitely will get this guy and yeah he needed to be bigger but is ok love it and the cape is an alpha reference if they give us alpha series in figures they will get my money lol if they keep those prices oh yeah no more buying Marvel legends for me.
Love the podcast review lol,love your reviews
Lol. Thanks
Have only even seen Fei Long in my Targets. Went Sunday and happened to find ONE red Chun Li, so of course I grabbed her lol.
Just waiting for the Muay Thai king’s release.
Just got mines today! Definitely NOT In retail. I really like the articulation but I prefer the details of the sota and sh figuarts figs.
Kinda wished they would have given him that manical smile he normally has instead of the frown.
Me too. That's the only other thing I could've asked for. Planning on ordering a custom sculpt to scratch that itch.
O man I can only imagine what THawk, Zangief, Balrog and EHonda are going to be like!….. this line and Masterverse New Eternia is really the cream of the crop for me…. gladly give my money for all these no question.
Been waiting for this one.
I was initially all in but over the last few months I've kind of cooled off on this line. Not sure if it's the sculpts or the distribution issues but I'm kind of meh now.
I was at a toy con this weekend and one of the vendors had all of the characters and for basically retail price. I'm missing a few of them, but still ended up passing...
I only got Ken, but the issue i have noticed is that colors (red on kens cloth) dont feel saturated. They look washed out
I'm in on all of it. These streetfighter toys are amazing.
Fantastic line. As a fighting game fan, I'm crossing my fingers for Jada to release stuff from Darkstalkers and maybe KOF (though this is less likely because it's a different company and it's not as well known as SF). A man can dream!
I also really, really want Zangief and it's not coming out this year I think.
Nice critique about the face sculpts, I haven't noticed it before until you pointed it out. My main criticism of Jada are female figures; they're not there yet and I skipped Chun and will skip Cammy.
Chun-li is really good though
Very good and they do put to shame a lot of compagnies but like you said they have à harder time with faces. I do love Megaman line more
Scaling is always priority for me. Having a super short Bison doesn't work for me.
Wonder if Jada will end up with mortal kombat with the way they are doing this line
Can't wait for their Vega
I love this figure the cape alone is amazing jada toys killing it with this line.
Jada Toys Street Fighter figures are literally a poor man's version of Storm Collectibles
Off topic do think u can make luffy gomu gomu effects like elephant gun red roc my sh figuarts luffy didn't come with much
I could but they would cost a fortune due to the size and potential complexity of production
I honestly think one of their better releases, they are getting better with this one
Great review as always. I was wondering if anyone was going to point out the sculpting of the muscles...errrr,musculature? I didn't get a red squiggly under it so I'ma say I did spell it right. Anyway, the arms do look weird, like those red bell peppers, and the pecks kinda look like man boobs. The height, like you mentioned, I think is off also, he's BARELY taller that Ryu, and Ryu is barefoot. I'm still getting him regardless, waiting for my preorder at BBTS. But I'm glad you pointed out those little issues.
Just doing my job lol. Definitely room for improvement. I suspect we'll see different versions of all the characters at some point. I'm hoping for apha versions personally
Jada please acquire rights for Jojo’s! Charge a bit more and nail those designs. I’d buy all! I don’t like to simp for companies but hard not to with Jada.
3:37 🤣
Im still in. 👌
All in on the line. Proportions on bison arent great but the regular head being smaller helps the overall feel. Legs look stompy, makes him look comical instead of threatening. Adding the alternate big ass world destroying chin just makes him look clownish. I still prefer the sota figures , there is just more personality and boldness in the aculpts, that they still come on top. I wish sota and jada had a baby, a concept art based street fighter line. Overall very happy and excited to buy everything jada.
SF2 his flame effect is supposed to be aqua green color not purple
Was that true for this version of sf2 though?
@AnthonysCustoms psycho power is generally depicted as purple... technically in sf2 his hands would shimmer in different colours when using his powers but I would absolutely expect capcom to dictate his power effects be purple for any incarnation of the character.
Jada is killing it
For the price, Jada Toy Street Fighters is great
M. Bison's Psycho power is always purple.
It's not in the games
Classic is blue/violet. Modern games is purple, starting with SFIV
Cool figure 👍👍👍👍🍕🥤
My biggest problem with this line is that I hate the world warriors. If it were a Street Fighter 6, Alpha or III line I would be all over it
I have bought Ryu since he's my favourite SF2 character and I absolutely love him. The line overall looks insane, can't wait to get my hands on Sagat
Another W for Jada Toys! I personally am kinda skipping the SF line, but i have been tempted by the hands of fate many times LMAO. My most anticipated line is definitely gonna be the Cyberpunk Edgerunners line. Currently based on their teasers and some live streams, they're looking to be really well made! Heck, they have soft goods and they're lookin' to have more articulation than the recent Dredd you just reviewed LMAO 💀
Bison needs to be taller Just like in the anime movies
This height is right for his SF2 design. Anime height is based on his Street Fighter Alpha redesign.
Possibility wise. Chun li & Dhalsim take the title for now.
He doesn't look Alpha and it doesn't look SFII.
I want to paint mine grey and give him a little mustache under his nose... And have him battle captain America
Hitler on steroids.😳👍
