Toy Review: SOTA Street Fighter Adon

Unlike Sota's version of M.Bison, Adon is short of impressive. Even with better articulation points than M.Bison, there are some minor annoyances.

The key to tight abs is to keep a sinister grin while doing crunches


Arms - it is difficult for the arms to clip towards his torso. Better to give him leg room when displaying this with other Street Fighter toys, or other figures. Yes, even as a figure, Adon is arrogant and obviously selfish. Sagat's attitude is more affable than Adon.

Legs - the legs are not well balanced, he tends to tilt on his right side. But (gasp), with the right pose, he can balance well on one leg.

I guess if I add maracas or rumba shakers, he go head to head with DeeJay


With my dismay despite being a huge Street Fighter fan, these Sota lines are susceptible to wear and tear because it doesn't have reusable box like other Japanese figures nowadays. The paint again flakes off after a weeks and when leaned on walls or sides of the shelves the figure tends to stick.

This is only toy line that I know that has Adon in their roster. So for any Street Fighter fan, despite some annoyances, this figure should be part of their collectors list. It is still game accurate and more articulation than M.Bison. It's up to you whether you want to take it out of the box to preserve its shelf life. (I know some avid collectors are very particular about it).

To each his own. As my fiancee said, what's the point of having toys if you are not able to play with it. :) Enough said.

Preparing for hadoken? U ZO!!!


Here is my video review of Adon from Street Fighter.
