As I said before; I want that Vega so bad. And Jada has done such an incredible job here that it's actively difficult for me not to grab all the other figures as well. But I'm really trying hard to just stick to my absolute favorites.
 
It's hard for me not to buy any, and I have almost no connection to Street Fighter. My only ties to the franchise are the old SOTA figures that I bought before I was as disciplined, and an animated movie I have no memory of that I watched around the same time.
 
Vega is one where I may pass on until we either get a deluxe alt announced with his proper arms as swappable parts, or just pray that Storm Arena has him in the next wave. I heard the way the arms are was mandated by Capcom though, so who's to say if Storm Arena would get it on model.

Not even X-Men vs. Street Fighter?! What is this madness?

At a glance I couldn't even tell you what's wrong with Vega's arms, to be honest. It's been 20 yeas since I played Street Fighter.

Before my time. I'm going to play all the MvC-like games when Capcom's Fighting Game Collection hits a decent sale on Steam.

I hope you enjoy them! X-Men vs. Street Fighter is great, but Marvel vs Capcom 1 is my absolute favorite of the series. I still gotta pick up the collection.

They're mirrored, based on SF4 and SF5's in-game models, rather than the character's actual design from Street Fighter 2 onwards. Capcom mandate to make it as such.

Got the player 2 Fei Long today. I have no specific interest in Street Fighter but these figures are so good I can't resist. The range of motion on this guy is insane.

I hope Jada continues to snatch up licenses because they're one of the best in the business right now.

Ooooh. Thanks for that. I honestly don't think I would have ever figured that out myself. And because of that, I know it won't bother me when I buy the figure. But I totally get why it would drive more hardcore fans totally crazy.
 
Found Dee Jay hiding behind the same two Red Chunnys that have been at my Target forever.
 
I never saw Red Chun-Li. I'm pretty happy with Player 1 and Player 2, but if I saw Red in the wild I'd pick her up.

I was doing a quick scroll somewhere on social media today and thought I saw a player 2 Blanka? Might've been hallucinating. Darker colors, more brown than green. Might have been seeing things though.

Maybe you saw the recently-released Storm version? He looks a bit darker.

I'm guessing we get the blue w/yellow version next. Personally I'd like the teal w/green, or grey-green w/grass green versions most! Monochromatic color palettes generally look sharp on toys.

Yeah, it had to be a storm version I saw - it looked like one of the second-from-the-right versions.

I'm hoping we get blue with yellow as his first repaint. That was always my favorite look for him when I played the game as a kid.
 
I'm a big fan of the blue and yellow back in the retro days...but this TURBO HD version's saturated color tones throw off a lot of looks for me, blues in particular (as it was with Chun Li). It's kind of a shame that most of us are here for nostalgia but Capcom's orders go against that. It will make for a good figure though either way, might be the first alt I pick up.
