I think they give you the extra shoulder pieces because he takes off the cape before he fights, so you can have him wearing the cape during cape season and no cape for fighting
Fun fact.. that's not M Bison at all..... that's Vega (yes, really lol).... M Bison was originally the character we know as Balrog (Mike Tyson - M Bison, get it?) When they went to America they didn't want to be sued, and they didn't want to be obvious so they shuffled 3 character names.... the Balrog of Japan became Vega in the US, Vega became Bison, and Bison Balrog...... Balrog wasn't in the first runs of Street Fighter 2 in the US for this reason as well. Most OG's know this.. but some of the newbs probably just had their mind blown lol
I noticed you struggled a little taking the figure out from the box. It's easier opening the box from the bottom then taking it out from there. Another great review 🙂
Jada Toys does it again! For $24.99, you get one great quality figure. Pay attention, Hasbro! This is how it's done. Jada Toys definitely gave us a figure for wild Young Turks!
I will give you a hint as to what the "M" stands for. In Japan "M. Bison" is the boxer. They did not want to get sued so they changed the names around.
Kyle, I too thought that M. Bison was from the U.S.S.R. I guess his flag is actually the emblem of the criminal organization he runs. He is southeast Asian as his racial heritage. The man has panache! A commanding cap, snappy uniform, and an entrance making cape😏 Jada has met it's own bench marks. Super review ✌️
I know this is kinda off subject but you being a great toy collector when do you think I should preorder the super seven toxic avenger figure says it doesn't release til march 2025
@@KylePeterson1980 But you still were confused after showing the instructions so that’s why I didn’t think you knew. I must have missed something. My bad.
I pre ordered mine, unfortunately M. Bison isn't here yet. I just googled it. The M in Japan stands for Mike. Bc M. Bison is apparently a parody of boxer Mike Tyson. I don't see it. However, Capcom never explained what the M stands for in western releases.
The history with the names. M. Bison was originally the name for Balrog (and Vega was originally the name for M. Bison), but they didn't want a lawsuit, so they switched the names.
I just noticed that M Bison figures from reviewers have glossy bodies. Maybe North America area got the glossy batch, while Asian areas have the matte finish (which I have) 😅
I would love to have Street Fighter figures from Jada Toys, However, I will try to get at their least Ryu and Chun Lee because they do look cool but M. Bison looks badass and brawn with that effect, Overall, Awesome review on him Kyle.
This figure's proportions seem off. He seems a bit too stubby. Seems like his legs should be a bit longer. That gripe aside, this is a great figure. I love the wired cape. If Jada can include a wired cape for the same price as a Marvel legends figure, why can't Hasbro?
I’ve got the Jada fei long just to see what all the fuss was about with Jada and tbh I’m not a fan. For the price yeah can’t argue that but to me it felt rough and looked rough and I won’t be investing in no more and if they do mortal kombat I won’t be interested either
It was kind of a play off Mike Tyson…. Mike bison….. but then it’s also said its master bison… so as Kyle the man always says choose your own adventure, baby 🤟🤟🤟

there's a space on the street fighter shelf waitin' for him
He's a must have. Just an awesome figure!
ROUND ONE FIGHT !!!

Thanks for the hint, Paul Blart… Fun fact for ya
MK with jada would ve great. Would love to see them in the same arcade box they did for street fighter
Megaman is a sleeper hit of a figure, I'm all in for these for the MVC shelf
M.BISON is awesome. I found him last month just sitting on the shelf waiting for me. (I NEVER have much luck finding figs I want at Target 😂)
These also scale really good with the new Tekken figures from Bandai/Namco
We need Mortal Kombat 2 next

Jesse ventura casually appearing in the intro video cracks me every time!!
I got M bison great figure I never switched the shoulder pads either
Love this line. Hoping they get the Mortal Kombat license
Great review. I also like how Jada rolls out these Street Fighter figures. I had the Hasbro Mortal Kombat figures back in the day
I look forward to M.Bison! P.S. Tully NEVER said "I QUIT"
I know this is kinda off subject but you being a great toy collector when do you think I should preorder the super seven toxic avenger figure says it doesn't release til march 2025
Love this line ❤. I’m going to skip on P2 but will pick up Evil Ken & Ryu as they are technically different characters.
Love these figures
Great review. I have him on preorder. The only downside of the Jada Streetfighter figures are that they near impossible to find in person at Targets.
Aren’t the extra shoulder pads for if you don’t want the cape on? He always took it off before a fight.
Yes I show the instructions in this very video
@@KylePeterson1980 But you still were confused after showing the instructions so that’s why I didn’t think you knew. I must have missed something. My bad.
Definitely going to order! He looks dope!

@@juliusthompson9306 thanks for the info. I didn't know that M. Bison was originally named Vega.
If I dont.get this one I most def plan to get the player 2 color. Love this joint. Had the G.I. Joe Bison back in the days
I'm still playing the BBTS long game this is the most frustrating line but it's better than nothing lol

Have these figures hit the shelves at any retailer?
Target
Still need to find this one.
i always thought the m was short for major. im very excited for this figure.
A phenomenal review!
The SDCC Ken isnt actually a repaint, its Violent Ken who is a playable character in Ultra Street Fighter 2, much like Evil Ryu.
Repaint in it uses most of the same parts across the board similar to the ryu
I hope they do MK
Unfortunately some people get these street fighter figures before I do because nobody cares about Illinois because the targets and Walmarts suck
@@thomaswintczak1853 and unfortunately many get them after you
@@KylePeterson1980 exactly have the ken chun li and feilong but not bison and dalsim
@@KylePeterson1980hey Kyle just four days later found dalsim and m.bison the last 2
FYI ,M.bison was Balrog's name in the first street fighter cause they couldn't get Mike Tyson

That gripe aside, this is a great figure. I love the wired cape. If Jada can include a wired cape for the same price as a Marvel legends figure, why can't Hasbro?
I've only got Ryu and Ken
Take the cape off
Remove the cape and attach the extra shoulder pads after
Target has the different color chin le
