I'm stoked for Wave 3; it looks like the best one yet. I'm particularly excited for Cammy. She's one of my favorite Street Fighter characters, but none of her previous figures ever really did her justice in my opinion. Jada's Cammy looks great.
I have SHF Cammy and she is so... Just okay. Jada's? Looks fucking amazing. I can't wait to finally have her!
Can't wait for these to come along.
Juhn has even stated, they're doing their best to improve on every figure, that Ryu could be done better for a future release.
He had a good interview on Toymigos podcast explaining about Wave 3, improvements in QC & deluxe releases.
When I saw how extensive the line-up was at SDCC I went to BBTS and ordered the first wave. Do we know when Wave 2 goes up for preorder?
Got Ryu from Amazon last week. Waiting to pull the trigger on Fei Long, they want $27.99 for some reason. I have yet to see these in any Target between McHenry and Chicago.
Saw Ryu & Fei Long at a Target back in May. Even set them up on the top shelf for this shot. Had no interest. Few days later, started to find out how awesome these were. Went back to Target...gone. Went to a few more Targets. None. Ended up ordering both online. Juhn's excellent attention to detail when he describes each character is terrific. From the articulation to the scaling for each character. Can't wait for Ken, Guile, Bison, Cammy & hopefully eventually Vega.
I'm still hoping Target puts these for sale online and they qualify for a toy promo once they do one.

Target's online inventory management has gone to total pot over the last year. Many toys go into purgatory and never become orderable online, and many others that are pre-orderable never get those pre-order fulfilled. It's a real shit-show buying toys online at target.com right now, and that includes using the site to find out if toys are in stores. Sometimes that works, but usually it doesn't.
Ryu and Fei Long have been in target.com purgatory this entire time and I'll be surprised if they emerge from it. 😫
Those Wave 3 figures look really nice, so I'm glad I'm not a huge fan of SF in general. I'll grab Guile because after a head swap he'll fit great on my GI Joe shelf. That will continue the trend of one figure per wave from me (Fei Long, Dhalsim, Guile). There's really only a very small handful of characters I want/need - Blanka, Akuma maybe E. Honda and then from later games Rashid, Jamie... possibly Lily and Kimberly. But if they don't get that deep and I just get Blanka and Akuma I'll be satisfied.
Personally, I'll be getting one or two figures per wave so far (Ryu, Chun-Li, M. Bison, Ken, Cammy)
Once we get into later games that'll definitely be bumping up a bit, and if they do the Final Fight cast all at once my wallet will definitely hurt.
So after I watched some interviews stating the initial focus will be on completing SF2, then watched some reviews showing how good and sturdy these are I decided to go all in on this line.
I'm super excited for Cammy.
Haven’t gotten them in hand yet, but ordered Evil Ryu and hoping to play catch-up soon!
Anybody have any pics of these with Classified? My goofy self likes to think Guile is a reserve member of the Joe team, and Bison owes Cobra Commander $20.
@spongyblue i got u
They're a tiny bit shorter than Duke (his knees are slightly bent) but overall they fit in pretty well. Guile might fit in just fine, we'll have to wait and see, I'm sure some social media toy influencers will have him long before the rest of us.
Fei-Long absolutely destroying Storm Shadow in poseability here, lmao.
