CHUN LI

One series i been collecting on the past few years is Bishoujo series from Kotobukiya and while i am not fond of the DC and Marvel women, i am crazy for female fighters from Tekken and Street Fighters. Sadlly, i missed a lot of them, specially from the Tekken side and i am still regretting not getting Poison from Street Fighter since she is pretty expensive by now.

Soo to avoid any kind of regrett, i get myself Chun Li with her new design for SFV. I really love the original version on her blue costume since her pose is more dynamic than slutty, but this new version is just stuing beautyfull.

Designed by Shunya Yamashita, this time around the box dosnt have the name of the sculptor but he did a great job translatting Yamashita´s illustration to 3D.

The materials used here are really amazing, very light and easy to clean but with an strange organic transparency that really gives her a fleshy texture (and this times around, theres A LOT of flesh showing) and still the texture on her dress is like silk.

The figure is big and heavy mustly for her hair, an amazing piece that flows perfectly with the movement of her dress. The golden details gives her a pretty elegant look for an otherwise whorish looking dress.

The anatmy on the muscles is trully amazing, each muscle on her leg is perfectly shaped and things got even more detailed on her back. Her back is that of a serious heavy lifter.

Her smile is soft and sweet and her eyes really detailed and sharp, tough i kinda miss her red make up around her eyes, without it is a little hard to tell who this character is.

The base is as pretty and amazing as always, a transluscent coin with the option to put the Street Fighter logo on it or Shunya Yamashita´s art, and while she stands with no problem, i am afraid to broke her leg some how. I really hope the plastic is resistant this time since her legs is supporting her entire body (and heavy hair) but only time will tell.

I would have liked this much more if it was Hot Ryu on a slutty pose but still, this is an impresive looking piece that abuse a lot of the sexual side of the character but manages to look elegant and classy at the same time and is a pretty fresh design for such and old and classic character.
