Good figures are good figures regardless of the source material and these are damn good figures.
Fei Long has more attitude than any figure I've held in a long time.

I agree with that statement, one of the reasons I have a small handfull of Lightning Collection figs and Fortnite figs. Some of them are just damn cool. I was a big arcade rat in the 90's and Street Fighter (and most Capcom fighters) were my go to's even though I was only an average player. Finger crossing that this does well so they can start expanding the roster to those beyond SF2 to maybe the alt costume colors (personal fav is yellow gi Ken) and maybe even some of the other Capcom games, that I have no real connection to, but they fit in with SF folks.
Entertainment Earth just shipped my Fei Long, he should be here by Wednesday!
Can't wait to have one of these in hand!
Any guess on when BBTS will get Chun-Li? I have 7 days left on my current PoL and hoping she arrives in time. Fei Long and Ryu came in the day after I shipped my last PoL. I'm expecting that to happen again. Hahaha.
Wave 3? I still have not seen wave 1 in store!
This might be a one-off occurrence but my Fei Long arrived from Entertainment Earth sealed and looked fine except he had two of the teeth-showing head and none of the lips-closed heads.
Jada Toys was fantastic at helping me out. There's an email on the bottom of the package, I contacted them with a copy of my digital receipt and photo of the figure still in box and within a week the replacement head arrived in my mailbox. Absolutely stellar customer service. They didn't even tell me to go f myself like Hasbro does!
For anyone receiving Fei Long, since the old posts are gone, I really recommend shock oil on the torso balls. Personally I turned the upper body sideways (as much as I safely could), snuck a paperclip with silicone shock oil on the tip in there and rubbed it around the ball joint enclosure. Took a few tries but absolutely saved the figure. Keep this in mind if your Fei feels too stiff to bend and turn, you don't want to snap that ball joint from twisting the plastic.

I got my Fei Long a few days ago and yep, the hips don't squeak but they're pretty hard to turn and I feel like they're going to break every time I try to use their full range of motion. I hadn't thought of using shock oil since I mostly bought it for Mafex joints that squeak, but yea, I think I'll shock oil my Fei Long's hips.
GREAT suggestion on doing it with a paper clip, I wasn't sure how I was going to get the oil up there until you suggested that. 👍
Where in Target are these located? Are they in the 'Collectors' section or the regular toy area? I didn't see any figures or peg labels at my local Target, and I'm not sure if I'm looking in the wrong area or if my Target just doesn't have them. The action figure aisle had a side for Nintendo and Minecraft and a side for everything else. I appreciate any help folks can provide.
When I've seen them, they were in the collector's section. I've only seen two characters at a time though. Two of each at best.
I have yet to see them in stores, but all of the pics I've seen on Reddit of them in Targets show them in the collector section that's in the electronics department.
@enigmaticclarity @chooch555 Thanks! I'll check the collector's section more closely the next time I go.
While I love Street Fighter as a series, my real love lies with Final Fight.
It'd be a dream come true if Jada did some Final Fight figures when they wrap up the SF2 roster.
I already have some dream waves
Wave 1
- Cody
- Poison
- Eddie. E
Two-Pack - Belger & Jessica
Wave 2
- Haggar
- Andore
- Damnd/Thrasher
Wave 3
- Guy
- El Gado
- Sodom/Katana
Wave 4
- Maki
- Wong Who
- Rolento
Wave 5
- Lucia
- Two P.
- Abigail
Then they could even do store exclusives for some of the goon color swaps!
I'm fully with you, not being able to get Final Fight characters soon is the main reason I'm against them doing every single USF2 character first. But I'm certain they'll be some of the first characters we get once USF2 is done, and they'll be even better than current releases, so I can cope.
