Dhalsim
Street Fighter (Jada Toys) - Ultra Street Fighter II
Rated 4.90 stars by RMaster007
When Street Fighter comes to mind, you don't think about two aggressive drunks going at it in the middle of the road; you think about heroes and villains duking it out with super strength, energy blasts, fire, electricity, and other abilities that no real-life person can do. The second game brought one of the series' most outlandish characters in Dhalsim, an Indian yoga master… who has elastic limbs. And breathes fire. And is the first Jada figure I'm reviewing in a long while. Being from India, Dhalsim has a darker complexion than the figures before him, as well as face and head paint that fits his culture. He's also outfitted with large earrings (actual metal, mind you, since that's what Jada likes most) and what seems to be a bead in his forearm, but more unusual than that are his...[See More]

Fei Long
Street Fighter (Jada Toys) - Ultra Street Fighter II
Rated 4.70 stars by RMaster007
I may be sounding like a broken record, but Jada's Street Fighter figures are great, thanks to top-notch quality and articulation for a price not too far off from the work of big wigs like Hasbro and McFarlane. I was able to acquire two more through Target recently, and they’re the last ones for now until Jada gets to work on putting more up for pre-order. I'll start with Fei Long, since he came first alongside Ryu. He's basically the Bruce Lee of the SF universe, most notably in the face. He bears an intense glare similar to the late martial arts legend, and a somewhat similar hairstyle as well. It looks like face printing was done for the head, as the eyes are rather clean, but the eyebrows could be a little nicer. As with the others, he gets an alternate head, with teeth showing a bit...[See More]

Ryu
Street Fighter (Jada Toys) - Ultra Street Fighter II
Rated 4.70 stars by RMaster007
Although they've been putting figures out at a slow rate, Jada's Street Fighter line has proven promising, showing off fully-posable and well-made characters for good prices, and I await the next couple of pre-orders. I covered Chun-Li a while ago, and now it's time to look at the major player of the franchise. Ryu is designed not just after how he appears in SFII, but much of the franchise in general. He has his typical stoic expression by default, but it can be swapped out for an alternate head with a fiercer look. Most of the hair and the headband tie are a separate bit of softer material on top of the heads, with the tie flowing differently on both portraits. Both heads look nice, and the paint is pretty good, aside from some slop and bleed, including some white marks on the back of...[See More]

Chun-Li
Street Fighter (Jada Toys) - Ultra Street Fighter II
Rated 4.60 stars by RMaster007
Befitting a popular fighting game, Street Fighter has received plenty of action figure lines. The first one (related to the games, not the movie) was by ReSaurus, and it was succeeded years later by the much better and longer-lasted SOTA line. Storm Collectibles' line serves as the most recent major one, with plenty of figures, but being produced overseas means they're sorta pricey. Thankfully, Jada Toys is giving us a cheaper option, and they're going through it slowly, but with promising-looking figures. It took me until their third release to actually get something from their line, but said figure is Chun-Li, one of my favorite characters from the series. These figures come in window boxes shaped like an arcade cabinet, complete with printed-on buttons and lifebars, and it definitely...[See More]
