Jada Toys M. BISON (Vega) Street Fighter II Action Figure Review 

Having a bendy cape at this price is unheard of, that alone makes this figure worth it IMO

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

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.

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

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.

There is a Target in my area that keeps respawning these figures.

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.

My Target had all Ryu, Chun Li, and Fei Long, hopefully theyll have Bison, this line is definitely one of the best ones

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 wish Jada did Judge Dredd 😢

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 walked into my target the other day I found bison Dhalsim and the Pink Chun Li.

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

This looks awesome. Seems more close to the Alpha version to me, which is fine as I loved the Alpha series.

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 also have it on preorder at BBTS. My targets take forever to get them. Love the Jada Street Fighter line.

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.

I would like to see Jada put out fighter stage dioramas.

I enjoy them, but the headsculpts are very lacking. Ryu's grimacing face looks especially terrible.

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'm hoping someone at some point will make SF3 figures

I’m all in on the Jada SF line. Can’t wait to get this figure.

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

just got mine today, pretty good

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.

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’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

For me I'm keeping them in box. However, I do wish Jada made, these figures with battle damage heads.

He only wears his cape before the fight starts. Capcom did approve them on this design if jada wanted to add the cape.

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

Hopefully, they do more capcom figures , like darkstalkers

i really appreciate the compassions being more diverse, thanks for that change anthony

I saw a Fei Long once at Target, but that's it. I've been waiting for BBTS for what feels like forever.

Just pre-ordered him yesterday, actually! I figured "it was Tuesday" so I might as well!

Love Jada toys! Great figures for a great price! Value wise I think they might be the best company out there.

My Target finally got Ryu and Fei Long in stock. And someone stole both their effect parts

This line so far has been one of the most consistent quality lines for the price they are asking. Some individual issues here and there with but their designs and executions are almost flawless.

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

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.

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.🇬🇧🇮🇹

Wonder if Jada will end up with mortal kombat with the way they are doing this line

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.

Same, my target sucks

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!

Definitely you cannot complain about anything when they are offering so much for only 25 bucks.

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.

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.

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?

Found Bison today at my Target along with Player 2 Chun Li and Dhalsim. Cool figure line!

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.

Awesome video Anthony always enjoy watching your reviews keep it up brother👍👍

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.

Love collecting these, they're so solid.

I love this line. Can't wait to finish it.

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.

Kinda wished they would have given him that manical smile he normally has instead of the frown.

The cheap plastic feel made me go back to the figuarts, I liked both but prefer the premium feel.

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.

Can't wait to get my hands on this

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Just waiting for the Muay Thai king’s release.

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.

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.

Great line of figures! Really enjoying them.

Scaling is always priority for me. Having a super short Bison doesn't work for me.

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.

Been waiting for this one.

Love the podcast review lol,love your reviews

I'm in on all of it. These streetfighter toys are amazing.

Jada Toys Street Fighter figures are literally a poor man's version of Storm Collectibles

I really don’t want to rock the cape but one of the shoulder pads pops off so I’m forced to rock the cape. :-/

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

The new releases for the jada Street fighter waves on only available on the west coast or the us

in my country, you can find find these Jada Toys figures everywhere

Can't wait for their Vega

I love this figure the cape alone is amazing jada toys killing it with this line.

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.

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...

3:37 🤣

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

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 💀

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.

Im still in. 👌

SF2 his flame effect is supposed to be aqua green color not purple

M. Bison's Psycho power is always purple.

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

For the price, Jada Toy Street Fighters is great

Jada is killing it

Cool figure 👍👍👍👍🍕🥤

head sculpts are ugly on the whole line. this is one of the okish ones along w dhalsim

Bison needs to be taller Just like in the anime movies

I want to paint mine grey and give him a little mustache under his nose... And have him battle captain America

Possibility wise. Chun li & Dhalsim take the title for now.

He doesn't look Alpha and it doesn't look SFII.
