Isn’t Sagat and Blanka most likely next?  There’s finished or package photos of them around the net. Maybe even Vega?    But we are more likely to get more repaints down the line before the next official wave release. I heard rumors that Paulmart store had another exclusive again?  Don’t know who. Either way, I need black or dark gray uniform Bison, blue Dhalsim, pink Cammy, purple Ken, sky blue Ryu and blue Guile for repaints.

So black uniform Bison and blue outfit Guile are two repaints I will buy in a heartbeat.   I might consider a blue Dhalsim...

I kind of like the suggestion of Jada super powers but the character selection of the original line always left something to be desired in my mind I would rather they ditched characters like Tyr and the 4th world guys and threw in a few ladies (Super Girl, Bat Girl Catwoman) using the styles guides from that era maybe the other titans from around then. Oh anyway back to street fighter we havent heard anymore about that purple Fei Long maybe he will be the paulmart exclusive.

Guile came out great! Cammy is cool, but overall, I feel like the design and articulation on Marvel Legends Warbird is better. 

Overall, this is my favorite Street Fighter line. Can’t want for Vega.

My Wormhole 1/12 Kung Fu set for Fei Long came from 5k today and it's awesome.  No pics atm but I tried it on him and it fits great.  Not sure if it stains so I am throwing the black pieces into a tied sock and through the wash cycle with my laundry.  Anyways, I recommend it, def gonna pick up a second Fei Long now and turn one into Bruce Lee for the display. (lol @ "My Wormhole")

Wave 3 was Dee Jay, Cammy, and Guile, and I think wave 4 is Sagat, Blanka, and Vega.  Sagat and Vega are my two favorite characters so I can't wait.

Have we heard if they're going to charge more for the larger characters?  Zangief and Sagat jump to mind as ones that Mattel or Hasbro would package as deluxe, so it'll be interesting to see how Jada handles them.

I bit on this, it arrived sooner than expected too.

Not sure why someone named “Lord of Bass” has White Gi Kens cheaper than EE, but if you need one it is in fact a legit listing!

… now someone just needs to get a blue Dhalsim and Guile variants already!

this website has all the palette swaps for this particular SF just a heads up for making your wishlists lol

Purple Dhalsim and Pink Dee Jay are my most-wanted so far just because they're such stellar figures already.  Tanned Zangief will be up there no doubt.  And as a big fan of G I Joe Sonic Boom tank Guile, I hope we get Tan clothes Guile.

It is kind of fun to look at those.    There are a couple of palette swaps I would probably be tempted by.   

 

The dark grey skinned Dhalsim with the green trunks is appealing.    I really like the black skinned Blanka with the red shorts as well.    And as I've said,  black outfit M. Bison would be an automatic purchase.   

I wish there was an Akuma with a different skin tone palette -  a dark blue or black Akuma would also be a must have.    I already have the orange and the white haired versions from Storm so probably don't need both from Jada - although I am weak and might buy both agani anyway.

@enigmaticclarity It was awhile back, but I believe Jada mentioned in an interview that the price for the larger basic figures would only be $5 more than a regular basic SF figure. So basically $29.99 for a larger figure like Sagat, Honda, Blanka, Thawk, etc.  I was thinking it would have been $34.99 but I won’t complain if it was $29.99 considering all these other companies are charging almost twice the basic price for their larger figure.

I have very little emotional connection to Street Fighter and have (*spoiler: had) no interest in collecting this line... BUUUUTTTT...  I saw Cammy in store over the Christmas season and passed by her a couple of times.  Though, I was shocked at how good she looked in person.  I'd seen reviews which were mixed on her, but in video and pics, she looked very flat and cheap.  The third time I saw her I broke and picked her up.  If this is one of the least good figures in the line (according to what i'm reading here), I'm blown away.  She's freaking hand candy!  I LOVE posing her around.  Are all the Jada SF figures as good as her with posing and just general fun?  If so, I might be cherry picking a few here and there.  I saw Chun Li a couple of times and Fei Long, but wasn't nearly as enticed.  Now I'm rethinking...

I'm like you with little attachment to Street Fighter, outside of playing it as much as any other kid growing up in the 90s and also collecting the SOTA line back in the day. But this line is fantastic, and I've picked up every mainline release so far (haven't opened Guile yet, but I've got him).

I'm surprised that the reviews on Cammy are negative because to me she's just as good as the other releases. The only ones that aren't as fun to me in hand are Ryu and Ken because of how restrictive their gis are, but they're still very well constructed and fun to pose. Fei Long is one of my favorites because of how simple his design is - it really lets the excellent engineering shine through. Dhalsim and M. Bison are probably in the top figures I picked up in 2024. Every figure so far has been a ton of fun - I'm honestly enjoying these more than some much pricier Mafex figures I got around the same time. Really excited for what's next!

Agreed on being surprised people are down on Cammy. I haven't been disappointed by anything in this line and actually enjoy them more than my imports because I CAN enjoy them. I live in terror of breaking the expensive imports. They're all a great combination of posable and durable.

Just for fun, here's my quick ranking of these figures from my favorite to least-favorite:

Fei Long, DeeJay, Dhalsim, M Bison, Cammy, Ken, Guile, Chun-Li, Ryu

I like them all but I just find those top three to be the most fun while the bottom three just feel a little "off" to me.  Worth noting that my Ryu is a first-run copy so some my issues were probably fixed in later releases.

Looking forward to more Shadowloo to keep Bison company on the shelf, and some of the oddball characters like Blanka and E Honda to bring variety to the display (we're gonna need a bigger shelf).
