the idea of Robo as a child at the arcade, with no beard is just so hard to picture, so I'm choosing to imagine child Robo is just present day Robo but smaller, beard and hat and all. Also love the music cues as always
Big fan of everything you do, but I gotta say it: dang, Robo what were you even doing in 1991-1992? You weren't playing SFII! You weren't digging the X-Men comics or cartoon during that post-Claremont era! What were you doing, being gainfully employed and spending quality time with members of the opposite sex or something?!? 😂
I think the same thing…lol. I was mowing lawns for money to waste at Food Lion playing Street Fighter 2. We waited in lines at times, putting quarters on the game to signify next player. The champ stayed, the rest paid.
Bison's size here is fine. It's based off of SFII where he was only a bit taller than average. In the Alpha games and forward, Capcom started scaling him up, both in height and in musculature.
They are CRUSHING this license and at the most reasonable price point I could believe. I will be SHOCKED if they ask less than $39.99 for the big boys since Gief, Honda, Sagat, Balrog and T Hawk are all quite a bit larger. I hope they decide to make a go at other games in the series. I'd love to see Poison, Makoto, Dudley and Ibuki get this treatment.
I believe they said that they’ll be releasing at 30 for bigger guys like Blanka but that may change but I’m not sure. So hopefully it stays at 30 but I say they won’t be more than 35
If you ask me Capcom has to be extremely happy with how they're treating their ip's... Mega Man figures are also on point. If things go well we could be seeing some very nice Resident Evil figures in the future.
A lot of people mention Mortal Kombat, but I'd like to see Jada do Resident Evil figures! Shouldn't be too hard, since they already have a business relationship with Capcom. Darkstalkers too. Sota was going to do them back in the day, but it fell through.
We can only hope Jada is doing great financially and the megaman & SF line are signs of future things to come. I love some of my SHF & MAFEX but they're usually too expensive for what they are. I feel like NECA & Jada are the main companies that usually mantain a level of quality and give you what you paid for.
I think as collectors, we can all agree that it is important we purchase from Jada. Not only are they high quality, highly articulated, and are visually amazing for the price they are charging us. I cant wait gor them to get other licenses.
I dont have any of the figures from this line yet, but everything points to them being easily on par with the Figuarts releases from a few years back, which i do own. Ridiculously impressive, especially price-wise
I was never a street fighter guy too!! But yeah at my friends place they used to have these games and I would join in. Blanka was the character I would play. Man those were the days!!! I love what Jada toys is doing. Ordered Chun li and will be ordering Dhalsim soon.
On the packaging, I believe the art on the sides and character portraits on the back was made for the recent(ish) Nintendo Switch exclusive release of SF2. Getting new, unique releases of SF2 in the current day is so funny. Excited for Super Duper Ultra SF2 in 2031
I care not at all for Street Fighter.... I'm also buying everything from this line. Particularly for this price point, what excellent quality, aesthetically gorgeous figures.
I just realized how bad I want Jada to pick up the big 3 in anime. Like this is INSANE quality, I think surpassing SHF figures. You can’t tell me Jada wouldn’t absolutely KILL Goku and Vegeta. I was looking at Dhalsim for potential Luffy customs. So dang cool dude
Dude, i have been looking these two online and nothing yet here in my country, only found a dhalsim with third party seller and was like 8 times the original price, 😢
I love this line so far. I've been able to get all of them but dhalsim (haven't found him yet). one thing I woulda added would be a 3rd head sculpt for bison with his signature evil grin.
I believe Juhn had said during an interview at one point that he definitely wanted to do Darkstalkers figures at some point. Hope Darkstalkers is the next series they get to before Mortal Kombat 🙏🙏
You're not the first person I've heard call Chester Cheetah "Chester Cheeto." I'm not from America, and I've never eaten a Cheeto, but even I know his proper name.
While I haven't picked anything up by them it is very impressive what Jada has been doing with their actions figures. Aside from Joe classified this is probably one of the best bangs for your buck out there and they are very well done. Never really been into the street figure games and more of a 4 inch figure collector myself I will admit I am always jealous when I see these figures 😂
Street Fighter characters were always realistically listed in terms of heigh, Ryu 5'7" I think...weights were kind of wild in some of them. These seem to be fairly accurately scaled to 1/12. Glad i found your review because Dhalism totally sold me.
You thinking of M. Bison as being bigger than this isn't really too out there or anything. It makes sense you'd remember him that way because throughout the series, they can tend to vary on how big they make him, and sometimes, yeah, he's significantly bigger than this.
I have Ken on the way from winning an online trivia game, so I bought Ryu just to go along with him. I had no intentions of getting this line. But now I'm considering Chun Li, and maybe a Guile if/when he comes out. It's a rabbit hole I have to be very careful about. That speaks volumes about Jada's design and execution of this line!
I'm disappointed that the player 2 figures dont have the additional effects. Chun li has a fireball effect, but the player two came with the same leg effect. BUT if you say she didnt have the fireball in Street fighter 2 then where is Dhalsims flames effect?
I can't wait for Guile and Vega. Shoot, let's just say I am looking forward to the whole line being completed! GOD Bless Robo and the Family, and all of our fellow toy and pop culture fans!
Yeah that would be so cool, the McFarlane Toys mk line is just too big, and the quality isn't always the best. The storm collectables mk line is just amazing, but they're too expensive, even tho I've got a few of them. Ive just bought the Chun Li and ryu from Jada toys, and now I'm addicted to them, and i don't even like street fighter as much as I do mk.
Dear God I hope jada gets EVERY line. Have you SEEN the cyberpunk figs revealed at comic con? They are cooking on every single release, it's hard to describe but it's like they're combining the sensibilities of figuarts mafex etc with the price point of marvel legends
Technically, Bison is actually Balrog. At the time of the development of 'Street Fighter II,' Mike Tyson was a worldwide phenomenon,” Ono said through a translator. “The creators wanted a character like him, but it was risky to use his name, so Mike Tyson became Bison, and then outside of Japan, he became Balrog.”
Fun fact for non SF fans… the real M Bison in Japan is the boxer character who was named after Mike Tyson.. but Capcom was afraid it would cause legal issues here.. this M Bison is actually called Vega in Japan ..
Another fun fact--to avoid confusion in international events with both Eastern and Western competitors, players gave the three name-swapped characters new nicknames: Boxer, Dictator, and Claw.
Love your videos, watch them all. Jada toys, in my opinion, is probably the best toy company on the market right now. Quality, sculpt, price. "Tell me when I'm telling lies!"
Great now I'm regretting not snagging Chun lee today, still shocked my walmart even has this let alone wave 2. This is a store that is typically 6-12 months behind. Really, really hoping to see whatever company Jada has working on these get lisences for other figs. At the price, the detail and the accessories? sorry but mcfarlane toys got knocked back a peg when its quality and price.
I agree with the criticism that Jada is releasing their SF figures too slowly. They're awesome, but when there is a year between figures, people can lose interest. I passed on Ryu, Ken and Fei Long (yawn) but I'm definitely getting Dhalsim. Probably passing on -Vega- M.Bison. In future, I plan to get Guile, Blanka, -Balrog- Vega, Cammy, C.Viper. Maybe some others. They are affordable, but I definitely don't need them all. I've always enjoyed fighting games, but more as an observer than a player. They take *a lot* of time to master all the controls. I love the character designs of SF, but the combat is not my cup of tea. My favourite fighting series is Soul Calibur.. sword fighting instead of 'martial arts with magical fireballs'.
Wow! Jada is killing it!! And to think: this company was known for tiny metal cars! Soft goods wired cape?! Packed with accessories?! Amazing in box packages?! How on earth at this price point?! 😮❤
These little Jada muthas are right in the sweet spot of plastic bliss. Chun Li is really well done, but Ken is just Ryu in red with He-Man's head (so it's like he's slumming).
I wish I could share a pic here; I used Dhalsim's stand to utilize a hovering legs crossed pose. Put his arms in a "praying" pose, legs crossed Indian style (get it? Wocka wocka! 😅), feed the stand up between his legs & clip it on one of his wrists. It's a nice, lower "hover."
These two are the best $25 figs I’ve ever seen. Ryu, Ken, Fei Long and Chun Li are all amazing but Bison’s size, wired cape with articulated/swappable shoulder pads and Dhalsim having 4 separate bendy limbs and metal earrings puts these above the rest of the line. That Dhalsim puts any Mr. Fantastic that Hasbro has ever released to shame. Jada is killing it.
Jesus... Jada is just knocking it out of the park. They really need to get more cool licenses to apply this production value to. They can keep taking my gold.

Jada is killing it with this line! If they can complete the SF2 roster, they'll be legends.
They just did what SHF couldn't do for like literal eons lmao

I hope they do The 3rd Strike roaster
I believe they said that they’ll be releasing at 30 for bigger guys like Blanka but that may change but I’m not sure. So hopefully it stays at 30 but I say they won’t be more than 35
I gotta say, if they do the Street Fighter 6 roster and do Dee Jay and Ryu’s new looks, it’s a day 1 for me 🙏
If you ask me Capcom has to be extremely happy with how they're treating their ip's... Mega Man figures are also on point.
If things go well we could be seeing some very nice Resident Evil figures in the future.
@@Dazz9an Alex that can pull off most of his normals in figure form? Count me the F in lmao
Jada is doing so well with the SF line. Haven't picked up any yet, but it's getting harder to resist as they keep smashing it out of the park
I live for the 90s Alt Rock references in your content Robo.
Same
A lot of people mention Mortal Kombat, but I'd like to see Jada do Resident Evil figures!
Shouldn't be too hard, since they already have a business relationship with Capcom.

Robo, I greatly appreciate that you put in the L7 reference. I personally think that L7 is great.
Could've gone for a Shinedown reference, but instead went for the superior Collective Soul "shine down" lyrics. Well done, sir. 💙🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I think as collectors, we can all agree that it is important we purchase from Jada. Not only are they high quality, highly articulated, and are visually amazing for the price they are charging us. I cant wait gor them to get other licenses.
Can’t wait for mine to come from BBTS … but it’s BBTS so this is a test of patience !!!
I dont have any of the figures from this line yet, but everything points to them being easily on par with the Figuarts releases from a few years back, which i do own. Ridiculously impressive, especially price-wise
All of these figures are incredible. Especially for the price.
I was never a street fighter guy too!! But yeah at my friends place they used to have these games and I would join in. Blanka was the character I would play. Man those were the days!!! I love what Jada toys is doing. Ordered Chun li and will be ordering Dhalsim soon.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing when you started the height comparison, well played.
I’m so excited for jadas future they are seriously killing it right now
I've been looking for these for a while but haven't had any luck yet. Looking forward to adding them to the collection as soon as I find them.
Ken, Chun li and Fei Long recently started to show up at Walmart in Canada. I really Hope Bison shows up to
On the packaging, I believe the art on the sides and character portraits on the back was made for the recent(ish) Nintendo Switch exclusive release of SF2.

I care not at all for Street Fighter.... I'm also buying everything from this line. Particularly for this price point, what excellent quality, aesthetically gorgeous figures.
wellll yea . i never realy player those game, just marvel vs capcom x) and im getting almost all of them too x)
The only one I have is Chun-Li which I happened to find at a Wal-mart. She's fire. You gotta get one Robo!
"L7 ?!" lmao. Cannot unsee it, and now that song is stuck in my head
Robo does it again! Awesome "Collective Soul" reference! Love those quick jabs!
I just realized how bad I want Jada to pick up the big 3 in anime. Like this is INSANE quality, I think surpassing SHF figures. You can’t tell me Jada wouldn’t absolutely KILL Goku and Vegeta. I was looking at Dhalsim for potential Luffy customs. So dang cool dude
If there's one thing the world needs, it's *more* Dragonball figures. 😏
Got to get that Bison! I’m cherry picking this series. Only getting my favorites. Got Ryu & Fei.
Dude, i have been looking these two online and nothing yet here in my country, only found a dhalsim with third party seller and was like 8 times the original price, 😢
Dangit robo, was doing fine and this video made me impulse buy ken and Chun Li off Amazon😂. Let the completionist in me commence!
I love this line so far. I've been able to get all of them but dhalsim (haven't found him yet). one thing I woulda added would be a 3rd head sculpt for bison with his signature evil grin.
That Collective Soul needle drop got me.
I believe Juhn had said during an interview at one point that he definitely wanted to do Darkstalkers figures at some point. Hope Darkstalkers is the next series they get to before Mortal Kombat 🙏🙏
That would be totally awesome, that series has really not seen enough love from figure lines.
@@Sybatoif they get to it, they may be the only company to do a Huitzil/Phobos lmao
As a Mortal Kombat fan, I'm just here for DJ Robo's Retro Rock References.
Yup that Bison should be a little taller. But yeah, Jada is killing it. Keep em coming 😊
I picked up Ryu and M Bison. Best decision I've made in a while.
There's currently two Jada figures on my buylist: Chester Cheeto and Dhalsim
You're not the first person I've heard call Chester Cheetah "Chester Cheeto."
I'm not from America, and I've never eaten a Cheeto, but even I know his proper name.
While I haven't picked anything up by them it is very impressive what Jada has been doing with their actions figures. Aside from Joe classified this is probably one of the best bangs for your buck out there and they are very well done. Never really been into the street figure games and more of a 4 inch figure collector myself I will admit I am always jealous when I see these figures 😂
Do it take the plunge
@@Ningsoong 😂
The only ones they haven’t shown off yet are E Honda, Zangief, THawk, Balrog, Akuma, and Violent Ken.
If Jada Toys got the DC license from McFarlane, it would be an AMAZING toy line
i iwsh they had power rangers insted of Hasbro giving them to Playmate X)
Kind of weird that they didn't include fire or flame effects for Dhalsim.
I’m guessing That will come with the player 2 colors re-release
Tring to resist the urge to start another collection and now you review these.... 😂😂
I tried to resist these and failed. Don't even buy one or it's over. They're too awesome.
Stop resisting and enjoy these figures. They are worth the money.
Do it!
You won’t regret your purchases
I bought myself Ryu and am promising myself to only get Sagat later..... it's going to be hard to resist getting further than that lol
Idk if it’s a QC issue but for me the shoulder pads have the red circle to stick to the pads but it doesn’t stick that well
Yeah m.bison is definitely suppose to look bigger even for the older versions
Street Fighter characters were always realistically listed in terms of heigh, Ryu 5'7" I think...weights were kind of wild in some of them. These seem to be fairly accurately scaled to 1/12. Glad i found your review because Dhalism totally sold me.

pick up paulmart exclusive ryu and swap his gee with the first player ryu he loos so much better without jaundice lol
The music was fire this episode!
I have Ken on the way from winning an online trivia game, so I bought Ryu just to go along with him. I had no intentions of getting this line. But now I'm considering Chun Li, and maybe a Guile if/when he comes out. It's a rabbit hole I have to be very careful about. That speaks volumes about Jada's design and execution of this line!

Give them Stellar Blade. Eve with variation costumes would be neat. Uncensored costumes please. Lol.
A request: when doing height measurements can you also use metric? Or show the metric conversion on the screen?
I think this is the only line I would buy, one to rock one to stock. It's a full roster a complete collection set, all its missing is the bow.
god damn, i love jada toys 😂. I have zero attachment to street fighter, but how good their stuff has been makes me want them all!!
I can't wait for Guile and Vega. Shoot, let's just say I am looking forward to the whole line being completed! GOD Bless Robo and the Family, and all of our fellow toy and pop culture fans!
I’m hoping Jada gets the Mortal Kombat license
Me too. I am not attached to SF like I am to MK, although I did have the 3.75 M. bison figure I used as another Cobra lackey.
Yeah that would be so cool, the McFarlane Toys mk line is just too big, and the quality isn't always the best. The storm collectables mk line is just amazing, but they're too expensive, even tho I've got a few of them. Ive just bought the Chun Li and ryu from Jada toys, and now I'm addicted to them, and i don't even like street fighter as much as I do mk.

Bison is actually Vega not Balrog but your absolutely correct - although I actually prefer Bison as Bison and Balrog as Balrog
I always thought they should have named Vega, Balrog and named balrog, Vega(s). I think his board in in Las vegas and everything.
Fun fact for non SF fans… the real M Bison in Japan is the boxer character who was named after Mike Tyson.. but Capcom was afraid it would cause legal issues here.. this M Bison is actually called Vega in Japan ..

The art on the sides is from a switch re-release of sf2
already pre ordered mine :)
Robo! tell Jada to scoop up the Fallout license. they would kill that line.
holy shiiiit I just picked up Dhalsim at Target. I was bummed when he wasn't on sale but oh man this figure is GOOOOOD
Childhood robo when he only had a mustache 😂
That L7 is gold. Well, literally it's gold but yep, I didn't see that.
You're telling me you can't get bendy legs and arms like that on a Mr fantastic Hasbro?
Great now I'm regretting not snagging Chun lee today, still shocked my walmart even has this let alone wave 2. This is a store that is typically 6-12 months behind. Really, really hoping to see whatever company Jada has working on these get lisences for other figs.

Damn good music in this one. Another fantastic review!
Love the collective soul reference. My brain goes to squints from sandlot w L7 though. L7 weeeeeeenie
I agree with the criticism that Jada is releasing their SF figures too slowly. They're awesome, but when there is a year between figures, people can lose interest.

Robo man you’re hilarious,
When you cut to the height comparison with Dhalsim at 1000 inches I lost it 😂😂
Made my day, thank you for the laugh 💖
Wow! Jada is killing it!! And to think: this company was known for tiny metal cars! Soft goods wired cape?! Packed with accessories?! Amazing in box packages?! How on earth at this price point?! 😮❤
Man! That cut to COLLECTIVE SOUL made me laugh way more than it probably should have.
Thanks for that.
Yes to Jada Toys knocking these out of the park.. And 10 out of ten for the L7 snippet.. Damn… Robo Do Know.. 😂
These little Jada muthas are right in the sweet spot of plastic bliss. Chun Li is really well done, but Ken is just Ryu in red with He-Man's head (so it's like he's slumming).
I immediately started thinking about the feasibility of making Mr Fantastic with those bendy limbs
I only have Chung Li and Ken and still have them moc for now
I wish I could share a pic here; I used Dhalsim's stand to utilize a hovering legs crossed pose.
Put his arms in a "praying" pose, legs crossed Indian style (get it? Wocka wocka! 😅), feed the stand up between his legs & clip it on one of his wrists.
It's a nice, lower "hover."
Want them to get the DC license
Didn't mean 👎 meant 👍
Dhalsim, figure of the year so far for me
Damm robo these look amazimg . Ive been holding off because they are rumoured to get the mortal kombat licence but if thqts true ill be all in on jada
Dhalsim is considered a lower tier character, but the figure is top tier! The muscle definition, striations pop much more than the other jada figs, 👌
Can you give an example of high tier street fighter characters ?
Bison looks amazing, they got him just right. loved when in SF Alpha 3 his "psycho crusher!" sounded more like "Hay cucaracha!"
I do wish he had yoga fire. Great job though 😊
Why is the only one I really want gonna be the last one they release? Hurry up and make Edmond already Jada
I have thought that I might pick up Bison to serve as my commander of my COBRA Crimson Legion, with Tomax and Xamot as his lieutenants.
That shinedown reference! Lol
I just bought the Chun Li and ryu, and I am now obsessed with this line, and I don't even like street fighter that much lol
My chun li's ankles are so loose, she can't get into most poses
You can fix that with a tiny drop of super glue drop tiny bit where the peg Meets the socket and twist the ankle all around to disperse the glue
I have to check if there is still Fwoosh channel
X-Men Vs Street Fighter
What's up with the distribution for these guys??
These two are the best $25 figs I’ve ever seen. Ryu, Ken, Fei Long and Chun Li are all amazing but Bison’s size, wired cape with articulated/swappable shoulder pads and Dhalsim having 4 separate bendy limbs and metal earrings puts these above the rest of the line. That Dhalsim puts any Mr. Fantastic that Hasbro has ever released to shame. Jada is killing it.
We have 4 confirmed waves already, yet only 1 character is available in retail from wave 1! Fei Long 🤦🏼♂️
I NEED a zangief figure released soon
I love that dhalsim
Petition to have Jada Toys make a Mr. Fantastic
Petition to have Jada Toys get the license from McFarlane toys to make 6 inch DC action figures.
Jesus... Jada is just knocking it out of the park. They really need to get more cool licenses to apply this production value to. They can keep taking my gold.
Robo has em but not Target or online stores 🤨 🤷♂️
