There's some iconic outfits and characters in Alpha for sure. Personally I'd want Charlie, Chun, Mika, Dan, Sakura, and Cody. I can't see them doing the whole lineup as there's a ton of characters and many remakes from SF2, but I like that idea of a big name headlining each wave. Either way, there's some difficult decisions to be made by Jada, as I can't imagine any fighting game lineup that is as popular and needing of new affordable figures like SF2.
Don't much care...I forget which costumes and characters are in which games. Just get Sagat in my hands ASAP.
What’s the consensus on the next game in the series that we’d want figures from? Alpha? Third Strike? Modern (4-6)?
Also, does anyone think it would be a good idea for releases to include alternate heads that either have the beat-up portraits from the continue screens, or at least have faces that look like they are taking damage?
They suggested in the interview a few pages back that they’re going to begin doing mixed waves once they finish USFII rather than doing one at a time.
For me 6, Alpha and III are all major wants. IV to a lesser extent as well because I really want Poison.
Good to know about the mixed waves. I was worried they would split the fanbase if they committed to a specific game or era. I’m especially excited for some Alpha 2 and 3 characters, but think it would be good for fans of the modern games to see those characters in plastic while Street Fighter 6 is still somewhat new.

Fun fact, my dad asking a TRU employee if they had a Dhalsim and E. Honda “in the back” was the first time time I ever learned of the existence of a magical “back room” that has everything you’re looking for stored away inside.
Are you guys going to keep collecting this line once they finish the SF2 roster? For me, that was the definitive Street Fighter game, that's the only one all of my nostalgia is tied to. I don't need to keep buying figures just to buy figures. Once I get the 17 SF2 characters, I'll be done with this line.
I would love it if Jada got the Mortal Kombat license. SF and MK were by far the two fighting games I played the most growing up, and getting figures of both in the same style/scale would be awesome. I know Storm Collectable did both games, but some of those figures sell for literally hundreds now.
I'm not buying everything, just favorite characters. But I'd buy some from later SF characters too. I want a bearded Ryu for instance.
Yeah - for me, I don't want the entire roster of SF 2 - there are characters in there I don't care about at all - and there are characters from other iterations of the game that I would love to have (Rashid, Necalli, Gouken, Menat) - so I hope they go wide and deep so I can pick and choose and grab my favorites.
I’m all in. Even for every SF character in every SF game ever made even after USF2 is done. As long as the quality and availability are high.
I’d like Blair and Skullomania if possible at some point as well.
I'm only picking up faves, whether they be from SF2 or any of the other games from the series. I know the big one I really want right now is Ibuki; I hope they get to her ASAP after the SF2 roster is done.
I can only really justify faves at this point in my collecting, and all my faves are outside USF2 (outside Vega and maybe Cammy) so I'm going to end up with more once it's done. Final Fight gang, AKI, Karin, etc will def end up in my collection when they get made.
Mortal Kombat always gets mentioned, but I could only ask for it if they did a mixed lineup in terms of designs. MK1-3 ninjas are easy but I would also love their MK9 counterparts. MK9 Smoke with the long hair is my favorite design in the series by far and has no figure. I'd really love OG Nitara and some of the weirdo villains as well.
I’d be all about the line continuing. Capcom has such a roster of characters and background lore that they could go for a while. I especially want Guy (Alpha 2), but would love Maki (CvS2) and Kimberly (SF6) to go along with him. Sean, Dudley, Alex, and Gill from 3. Adon, Birdie, Rolento, Rose, and Sakura from Alpha. Poison from 4. I could easily see myself buying all of those.
As far as other non-Capcom fighting games- everyone asks for Mortal Kombat, but I think the next logical step for Jada in the fighting game realm would be SNK games. Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, and King of Fighters have deep rosters of characters with a similar overall look.
Since I’m down for all SF, my immediate concern now is when those P2 colors of Fei Long and Chun Li are supposed to hit. Them and Violent Ken. SDCC 2024 is getting closer. Was VKen supposed to be the rumored SDCC exclusive or was that Akuma?
I'd love a Jada MK line more than anything else, but I'm losing hope on that front. WB is on fire and it seems like that's affecting MK if rumors of Storm's license either being lost or stuck in legal limbo are anything to go by. Might be awhile yet before we see anything there.
SNK figures, though, that would be pretty cool and it feels more possible right now. I'd at least buy King and Geese. Maybe Terry and Mai too.
I could go on for days about the SNK characters I'd buy, but Terry, Blue Mary, Whip, Ralf and Clark, Robert, and Yuri all come to mind immediately. Storm's offerings are too expensive and don't aesthetically do it for me.
I'd love for them to build up a relationship with Konami as well, and maybe Sega (even if those new Sega figures look fun enough).
