Shots fired. Storm trying to take a piece of that 6 inch Street Fighter pie from Jada and Jada trying to grab it back. Lol. I was hoping each company would do different SF rosters from each other, but oh well. In a way this is good. The competition should bring out the best in both companies and the customer wins out. There’s less chance of either getting complacent or lazy to an annoying degree. Some of these bigger toy companies could stand to get that level of fire lit under them again.
New interview. Interesting tidbit is Juhn saying he’s not sure if they want to commit to Alpha like 2, as they started on these figures a while back and since then other competitors have also begun producing their own Alpha figures. So he reiterates that they’re open to jumping around and doing various characters from the other later SF games rather than transitioning to Alpha full time. I’d be all in favor of that.

Hmm. While I do wish that Jada does not overlap with Storm, I am still not sure on that jumping around part. Storm is still questionable on completing rosters too. I would want Jada to to pick either SF3 or 5 or 6 and stick to that one game until the roster is complete before going to the next SF game. It’s what made them interesting since no other toy company really completes large rosters and just jumps all over the place. Jada can still do a alpha as secondary priority.
Jada has a relationship with Capcom, id rather that they focused on filling that Marvel Vs Capcom lineup; it's the only reason I've wanted Alpha figures as it's broadly same appearances in the game.
SDCC exclusives P2 Green Bison and Blue Dhalsim have shipped for me. Plus the metal Mets. Really looking forward to these variants and the burning figures.
Heard a rumor Target stopped carrying Jada SF. I’m tempted to believe it’s true as all the Targets near me do not have locations or tags for them anywhere now after that last clearance sale in the toy aisles.
That would be a bummer if true... on the other hand I stopped at a boatload of Wal Mart's traveling the length of California and all of them had the Jada Street Fighter line on the shelves... of course it was all wave 1 and 2 stuff... but they were definitely carrying it.
I really hope they didn’t drop Jada’s Street Fighter, but continue to carry the other crap that sits on the shelves.
Got my Vega, Sagat, and Blanka recently. I saw them in person a couple months back in Asia, so I knew they’d look great, but they're even more impressive in hand. I love them all- as usual, Jada did an excellent job.
Really excited to see more about Jada’s next figures after they finish the SF2 cast.
Yeah. I’ve checked a few other Targets that I happened to go by and are not on my usual path and they don’t have tags either. What’s even more worse is that that if you look at the Target app you can see the stores that carry them but have no stock say “out of stock”. Now the ones that use to say that show “not sold in this store”.
On the plus side, variant silver/blue Cammy is up on EE and for some reason other online stores besides EE, even though she’s supposed to be an EE exclusive.
Also Jada’s next SF figures after SF2 is Alpha. Directly competing with Storm Arena. I of the opinion is that Jada Alpha should take a backseat and pivot to SF3 or 6 or whatever. Let Storm do their Alpha and see if they can keep up a good schedule. If not then Jada can pivot back.
