The Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers M. Bison (Player 2 Ver.) is a BBTS 25th Anniversary exclusive figure from Jada Toys, and it’s here to remind us that bad guys always look good in purple. This particular version of M. Bison takes inspiration from his alternate Player 2 colour scheme, donning the iconic purple outfit with silver armour, as seen in the Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers game. Standing at an impressive 6 inches tall, it’s part of Jada’s growing collection of Street Fighter action figures, and honestly, it’s nothing short of awesome.

If you’re familiar with M. Bison, you’ll know he’s got an aura of menace that few villains can match, and this figure brings that intimidating vibe to life. Let’s dive deeper into what makes this release special and see how it stacks up to other figures in Jada’s Street Fighter line-up.
M. Bison’s Ruthless Look – A Player 2 Delight

One of the first things to notice about this BBTS 25th Anniversary exclusive figure is how Jada Toys has captured M. Bison’s menacing presence. The purple costume, silver armour, and his trademark smirk make him feel every bit the tyrant he is in the game. The figure is hyper-articulated with over 20 points of movement, which means you can strike some truly sinister poses. The Player 2 Version stands out nicely in any collection due to the bold colour palette. While some may prefer the classic red, this alternate look is perfect for collectors who want something a bit different (and it looks brilliant on display).

When it comes to accessories, M. Bison comes loaded with interchangeable hands, including one that’s ready to deliver his iconic “Psycho Power” attack. There’s also a fantastic energy effect piece that replicates his Psycho Crusher move, bringing that bit of arcade magic to your shelf.
How Does It Stack Up Against Other Jada Toys Figures?

Now, if you’ve been following my blog, you know I’m already a fan of Jada Toys’ Street Fighter line. The attention to detail they’ve shown on figures like Guile is top-notch, and this M. Bison is no exception. The craftsmanship is solid, the paint job is crisp, and the articulation is a joy to play with (or pose). For comparison, Jada’s Cammy and Dee Jay figures are similarly well-made, though M. Bison definitely has a more dominant vibe. I’d say if you’re into collecting villains, this one is a must-have, especially since it’s a BBTS exclusive—grab it before it’s gone!
For those who already own the original M. Bison, this Player 2 version might just offer the perfect excuse to expand your collection. After all, a dictator needs options, right?
A Quick History of Ultra Street Fighter II The Final Challengers M. Bison as a Playable Character
M. Bison’s journey in the Street Fighter franchise is as legendary as his Psycho Power. First introduced in Street Fighter II, Bison quickly became a fan-favourite villain. He was initially the final boss, and his terrifying abilities made him a force to be reckoned with. When Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers dropped, Bison returned in his Player 2 purple form as a playable character, giving fans even more ways to experience his chaos. Not only could you face him as the game’s primary antagonist, but now, you could channel his Psycho Power for yourself, terrorising your opponents just like Bison would. The addition of the Player 2 colours in the series just cemented his status as one of the most iconic villains in gaming history.
Is This Player 2 version of M. Bison Worth Adding to Your Collection?
In my opinion, the Ultra Street Fighter II M. Bison Player 2 Version from Jada Toys is a solid addition to any Street Fighter collection. The exclusive nature of this BBTS 25th Anniversary figure makes it even more special, and with Jada’s excellent articulation and accessories, it’s definitely more than just a pretty face—although Bison would argue his face is perfect!
As a figure, it’s a great representation of a classic villain, and the purple and silver combo makes it stand out on any shelf. If you’re already collecting Jada’s Street Fighter figures, then you won’t want to miss this. Don’t let this one slip by—it’s not every day you see a dictator looking this sharp!
