Chun-Li Street Fighter Statues Have an L.A. Face and Oakland Booty

I remember playing lots of Street Fighter back in the day. Chun-Li was maybe the hottest character to ever be in a fighting game. While she wasn’t quite this exaggerated in the games, she sure is here, complete with that itty bitty waist and that round thang in yo face, to quote Sir Mix-a-Lot. If you have a thing for Chun-Li and her ample assets, you can soon get one of three statues to gawk at.

The third-scale, 30″ tall statues are coming from Pop Culture Shock Collectibles and the three varieties show Chun-Li dressed up in three of her form-fitting fighting outfits, each made from actual fabric.

Before you get too excited, these things are EXPENSIVE. The Street Fighter II statue will go for $925. The Street Fighter Alpha version and the battle dress version from Street Fighter V each sell for $900. The trio will land in Q4 2018 reports Kotaku, giving you time to save your change for a Chun-Li of your own.

Pay pros for lessons on sucking less at video games

Losing to a 12-year-old in Super Smash Bros. can be a real downer, but there are a few ways to prevent that. You can challenge kids who aren't as good, practice and improve on your own, or, if you have a few bucks to spend, get a video game tutor fro...

Street Fighter II World Warrior Travel Posters: Capcom Street View

Fro Design Company turned the stages in Street Fighter II into a series of beautiful 18″x 24″ travel posters. The illustrations don’t copy the entire stage, but show just enough that you’ll recognize which one it is. Can you imagine traveling around the world just to get your ass kicked?

I bet Ryu and E. Honda wish they only had to fight each other. Fro Design sells the posters for $30 (USD) each, $180 for six or $220 for all 12.

Street Fighter II Defeated Face Busts: Nine! Eight!..

Milestone reminds us how far Street Fighter‘s art has come with these terribad 2″ busts. They’re 3D versions of the character portraits that appear in Street Fighter II after you’re defeated.

Seeing Ryu and the gang beat up makes the “Continue?” prompt seem sarcastic.

Chun-li is just straight up crying and E. Honda looks like he’s embarrassed because there’s some ketchup on his face. Guile and M. Bison on the other hand clearly gave it their all. You can buy a 12-pack from Hobby Link Japan for ~$80 (USD), but these are blind boxed so you might not complete the set in one purchase.

Street Fighter The New Challenger Ken & Chun-Li Light Up Figures: LP+LK

Earlier this year, BigBoysToys launched its Street Fighter The New Challenger line with a kick ass Ryu figure. The toy maker has stayed busy and has since released a Ken figure and a Chun-li figure. Like Ryu, both collectibles have light up effects integrated into their respective diorama stands.

You can pre-order both figures from PlayAsia for $90 (USD) each or as a bundle for only $160. BigBoyToys said that the The New Challenger line will eventually have 12 classic Street Fighter characters “plus some secret challengers”, as well as larger stands that can fit two characters. I think it would be awesome if they made a model of the car from the bonus stage too.

Street Fighter Hadoken Plush: Fluffball

Add a legendary projectile to your pillow fights with Multiverse Studios’ officially licensed Street Fighter Hadoken Plush Ball. The 9″x 14″ plush is based on Ryu’s version of the Hadoken. Or a yeti’s poop.
