I'd legit just buy everyone in that case tomorrow if they put them up for preorder. This line really is knocking it out of the park.
@tenime I agree. It's pretty easy to let it slide, since the rest of them all look amazing, but Blanka is just ok.
Can't wait to get the likes of Sagat, Vega, Guile and Balrog in hand, though.
Seconding the love for the sculpts and rapid completion of a lineup.
Looks like Honda has toe tilt articulation. Probably will aid him in those crouching Sumo charge poses. Looks like toe tilt was added to some other figures beyond wave 3. Balrog looks like he has it too. Can’t tell with THawk. Not sure with Sagat because it looks like he may have it but that just might be the way his foot is sculpted. Vega looks like he doesn’t have it.
I get holding off on him until the end, he’s technically the last unique character to debut, but man do I want Akuma.
Agreed. I'm still left with a lackluster Blanka, though. Never liked the colors of the Figuarts (but own it), don't like the colors or that roaring head (but will get it, not only to help support the line, but in the hopes of better alternate parts than the SHF) of the Jada. *le sigh*
Pixel Dan posted a YouTube video today of the Jada booth. Jada said they still have some reveals for USF2 and Megaman lines tomorrow. Not sure when the video was made so “tomorrow” could be today or Saturday. Nevertheless, quite possible to see Gief or Akuma proto soon.
And beyond that I’m personally looking forward to all other SF reveals once the 017 are done. Bring on the Alpha series, SF3, SF6, and everything else SF Jada can throw at us.
Heck, some SF1 figures exclusive to Jada next level site could be nice. Retsu, Geki, Eagle, Joe, Lee, illness suffering Birdie, and Mike would be personal wants.
Oh no, I was forgetting about Ken and Chun-Li. I just ordered right now, thankfully Jada isn't a bunch of d-bags that need to create scarcity.
I saw Red Chunners again, sitting on a cart with Ken and Fei Long. Still haven't seen M. Bison in a store (he's in my POL).
I seeeee Zangieeeeef! 👀
Me too! The original 8 World Warriors complete!!! 4 New Challengers complete! 4 Grand Bosses complete! Only super secret boss Akuma/Gouki needed to be revealed.
And Proto Man is a must.
Just Akuma left!! Hell yeah!!!
This is shaping up to be an incredible SDCC for Jada. MONTHS of excitement to follow!
If they want to be cool they could have Akuma standing over a fallen Bison figure tomorrow. Just throwing it out there as an idea.
Should Akuma have the sign of heaven printed on his back or just leave it blank.
Easy paint variant if they choose to give him the blank back initially.
