I think most fans knew what to expect when it came to the Black Major. M Bison's head sculpt was a perfect translation of the old school Major's noggin, and was almost too perfect not to use. What I don't think the fans necessarily expected though, was just how awesome the entire package would look in this updated tooling. With a nice mixture of later year parts, including Hardball's torso and the Action Soldier's waist, this figure looks simultaneously sleek, dignified, yet imposing.
