@doc-baghead good luck finding her. I haven't seen red Chun either and it's a little depressing. I was fine preordering these from EE and getting them months later than early birds, but I'm really, *really* tired of hunting toys at Target and Walmart. My local Targets just seem to all have a couple Fei Longs and that's it.
Hang in there fellas and keep looking. Red Chunners might pop up on the website at some point so it may be good to set up a notification. While the distribution is still spotty, I did notice a slightly better frequency of figure stock with the Targets that get them in my area as opposed to last year or earlier this year. It’s still not ideal as they all seem to still disappear within a week. I still haven’t seen any Fei Longs that stick around at my Targets.
Red Chunners and Fei Long popped on the Target app for me at some godawful hour. Not sure if this was local stock or nation wide.

The app and popfindr didn't update with stock when I found Chun-Li. I tried before checking out.
I had all the Jada SF figures on notification on the Target website since a few local collectors were still looking for them. When Fei Long and and Red Chunners went up, I never got notifications. I ordered one Red Chunners for a local collector and the notification should have stopped but the notification button was still active afterwards. Not sure what is going on with the app.
I thought Red Chunners was a local stock thing and was being fulfilled by a local store, but shipping notification shows that place of origin is one state over. I guess it was available for everyone nationwide although when she popped up, the majority of the country was still asleep.
Both of these figures are sincerely awesome. I’m surprised at how much more I like this Bison compared to his Figuarts, which was already nice. And I can’t put Dhalsim down. He’s so fun to pose and play with and he’s not made of recycled sawdust like SOTA’s.
A couple pics with my original 1993 GI Joe versions and my later ToyBiz X-men vs Street Fighter versions.
I have never once seen any of these figures in stores. 😫
I spoke too soon; I saw a lone Fei Long today, mixed in with the NECAs.
Now that Marvel vs Capcom Arcade Classics has been announced for Nintendo Switch and PS4 later this year, I am even more compelled for Jada to complete USF2 and any other possible Capcom characters from that game.
But really, just finishing the original 17 of SF2 would be a great accomplishment.
We won't have any proper classic MVC Street Fighter figures for a while though, all the looks from those games are Alpha specifically. Those won't start releasing until either late next year or early 2026.
True but for me I’m not going to complain too much mixing ML with current Jada USF2 figures in the meantime until the Alpha looks get released. Just having them properly scaled is good enough for me.

I'm with you on that.
However I am also more of an old school SF2 fan so I probably won't go beyond the characters I consider the original choices in the game, along with the bosses.
So that would be Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Zangief, M. Bison, Balrog, Vega and Sagat. Although I probably will bite on Cammy and Akuma as well. I have passed on Fei Long so far because I don't think I have ever played with him in a game, and he is the pegwarmer around me (the only one I see consistently on the shelf). I may get him if he goes on deep discount.
The only other question for me is the player 2 colour variants. Some of those are great and I will probably cave on them as well, but we'll see. Much like with MOTU: Origins the price on these is reasonably good, but I worry they may increase the price as the line goes on (hopefully not).
The rising cost is always looming over every line. However I don’t think it will happen in awhile. And that’s why I hope Jada completes the entire USF2 cast before Juhn starts having lesser say on how the figures get made when it comes to value. I mean I’m gonna be there for ever character for every SF game beyond USF2 and even the ones I don’t know too much about because they all look cool to me, but I will still be very happy if the line ended after USF2. At the very least someone actually completed the original 17 cast in 6 inch action figure form which no one has ever done. This toy line will be my “Kenner Super Powers” for Street Fighter.
I found a Red Chun-Li to open and PlayToy Chun-Li finally arrived in NY and cleared customs.
Heard rumors that SDCC exclusives Pink Chunners and Violent Ken will be $35 and $40 respectively. Seems like a fair price for both. Time to start saving them pennies.
