Good gifts come in great packages!
A navy, open faced plastic packaged box (with white pin-stripes) are hardly the marks of a beautiful, display-friendly PVC figure. With the exception of your standard chocking hazard warning, the only other information on the box is the words: “CAPCOM GIRLS COLLECTION FIGHTING” (in that order). Who gives a fuck? Well, Asshole… look inside the box! Inside the outer-part of the box is an amazing penciled portrait of Chun Li. Anyone with the information about the artist inside please kidnap him/her and have them draw for you – only pay by feeding them Jalapeno Cheetos & generous oral sex. They should never want to leave after that, I promise. I can only speculate that an artist for Yamato is responsible – if not Yamato himself – for my eye-gasm.
Chun Li is sold in her classic baby blue outfit, or if you want to save between 10-30 dollars, she is available in orange! With a name like Mexicus Prime, it’s only right that I have the orange version (fuck my life). Regardless of what your taste (race) is she still is accented perfectly. Hair pieces, wrist spikes, and a gold trim on her outfit holds this even more true to the Street Fighter fans who want authenticity at an affordable price.
Amazon.com’s product review is a bit harsh. Stating that because this figure is “mass produced” it may have “inconsistencies in the surface/painting”; If you want perfection be ready for some “touch-up work”. I respectfully disagree. Even the most minute places have color or detail of some sort. Light-pink liner on the eyes, swirling effects on the outfit (from winding up a spinning star kick), and a flame stand twirling counter-clockwise to further add to the motion.
Perhaps I was lucky enough to get the best pick in the litter? For the price, artwork, and original stance it’s hard to not to include this (or consider it) top tier for affordable figures/collectibles.
