Chun-Li In A Spectacular Outfit

No, no, not Street Fighter character Chun-Li in standard blue. Classic, but typical! The outfit that Japanese figure maker MERSA dresses her in is anything but that, after the jump.

Spotted at big-time figure event Hobboy Complex 07 earlier this month in Tokyo. All kinds of fantastic.

Wow i would buy this. COME TO THE US!
Yea, the link is pretty NSFW. Thankfully I saw this at home before I head off to work.
@AncientUnknown1: Haha, since you mentioned it I had to look. It could have been worse, but it is surely NSFW.
TheKat
I love her...
and that link was a little much for me to see first thing in the morning.
Illist
Yeah, that's great. Now if the game hadn't been so disappointing it rendered me mute. It caused me to cry myself to sleep for a good three days with the crushing and overwhelming disappointment I felt at the slow game play and the weird anime shorts that made little sense. Oh well, there is always 2012.
Kinda looks like Tila Taquila...no?
@Vidunder: Yeah, everything, like the GIANT EYES, veeeeery chinese. :D
lucasreis
Dur, he meant the tights. The sparkly of the pantyhose is a pretty cool effect.

@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: I'll also agree. The face does seem a little weird, but other than that, its an awesome piece.
You may want to NSFW that link...
I'm going to advise people not to follow that link or you'll find some fairly disturbing stuff.

@Nawara_Ven: Yes, throw away the features which make a character recognizable, and people will never know who it supposed to be.
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: I'm in the same boat. The face looks a bit mutated, especially in the close up. Those eyes are like half her head size. I know, I know... Anime exaggeration and all but seriously it looks like crap.

Fan-bloody-tastic! That is a gorgeous work of art if nothing else! Both the blue and the white ones are amazing! I've never seen that amount of detail on a figure before, and the finish is spectacular!
Although I must say, I always prefer Chun Li with bare legs without the dark tights...
When I first looked at that I thought "Holy crap! They gave Chun-Li hairy legs!"

@Zolbrod: Well, it looked like that to me anyway :P
@0xC001D00D: I always wondered what kind of cutting the clothes need to be in for the boobs to hang like that.
kitsuneconundrum
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: My thought too. Kind of a shame.
Moral_Avenger
@Pepek: Um. No I wasn't...
@RomieYO: Good point. There's a Chun every 6 months since 1991, you need to make it spectacular to stand out.
I guess the outfit edit was their attempt at "please care about this!"
Otherwise, without the dress & hair buns you'd never know who it was supposed to be.
@kitsuneconundrum: I can only imagine that would lead to crude drawings of penises...no thanks.
Back on track: I'm not into figurines, but the dress and tights make this one stand out.

@undefined: Actually, it's from Taiwan.
Looks nice.
Fabulous!
@AnnihilatorX: er, indeed. But that's chun-li :P
Vidunder
@Donutta: He was pointing out your spelling error, not your erotic tastes. :>
@0xC001D00D: As opposed to the non-classy junk the Chinese usually get?
SansSanity
@Zolbrod: Hehe, your comment made me giggle. No, I've sort of reached that age where I don't get my jollies over inanimate objects any more. I was just more impressed with the level of detail. The design is also quite impressive.
Doesn't look that great. There have been way better chun li figures.
@Zolbrod: not the new models. Im talking about letting people draw on the current stuff.
kitsuneconundrum
@AnnihilatorX: I'd say except the boobs. Those are classy silicon implants
I would really like to buy one of these.
Khokhloma
@kitsuneconundrum: They DID do reskins for SFIV, you just have to pay for them...
@Donutta: Tights?
You mean that as a composite of 'Tits & Thighs', right?
Stunning~ Now if only he would come paint me up... but really now that is a great new fit on a classic character.
they should do this kind of reskins rather than palatte swaps in the games. or maybe like the dress-a-car mechanics from NFS. That's right.
kitsuneconundrum
@Vidunder:
I'd say except the boots.
AnnihilatorX
I would've taken out the spiked bracelets and the wrestler boots and opted for something more classy to fit the rest of the figurine but it does look amazing..
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: same here.
indyit just wants exams to end.
Nothing short of awesome. The face as well. Everything screams "CHINA" in that figure... features as well. In a good way, of course.
Vidunder
Thems some sparkly thighs. O.O
CyricZ
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: I thought the same.
DO WANT! How much? Seriously, I'll splonk down serious cash for this. I mean, look at the tights!
It looks fantastic, save the face. That makes her look just plain stupid. But thats just what i think.
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: Doesn't look that bad actually. Reminds me of the old SF2 anime movie really...
Shiroi Kaze
Really good figure, but, damn... Those eyes are spaced WAY too far apart. Just being huge would be one thing, but they're way out by her ears as well!
MrPerson
Om nom noms.
@RomieYO: Yeah it looks really plasticky, and the face looks somewhat distorted.
firefly
her eyes, oh god her eyes, their just so....ugh bulging and grotesque
Gee, what happened to her gorilla hands? Maybe someone with good taste thought that they were disgusting like any normal human being would.
AlucardsQuest
The link on the page has some..uh..interesting figures....
me too. theres something a little off. her nose looks a little pointy.
TikkiEXX
I have this here piece of toast that looks like Chun Li! I'll trade it for the statue!!! No questions asked..
HOLY SHIT I don't think boobs are supposed to be tied up like that. Yeah, link needs a bit of NSFW love there.
The outfit itself is really nice, very traditional. I would love to get that as a downloadable costume for SFIV.

@CyricZ: For a second there, I thought that it was actually hair
OtaconR
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: I like the face...
kylenalepa
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: Even when put up to anime art standards, it looks bad. Almost as bad as Lymle from Star Ocean. *shudder*
yamamoto114
@TikkiEXX:
Nooo, why'd ya have to point it out?! :'(, now I've noticed. I think it looks perfect, except for the nose, now that I've read your comment.
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: why is she caucasian?
father-mckenzie
@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: yeah the face is the only bad part
neoxbomb
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn....
@folnevar: (dodges flying tomatoes)
@Donutta: That figure is tight, yo!
that's pretty fuckin beautiful

@Pepek: Tights are what we call pantyhose Down Under. ;)
the face is alright.
it's relief to see her thigh looking not so buff
like the one from the street fighter 4.
nkxjakfhda
Her breasts must see something on the ceiling.
She looks hotter here then she does in SF4. It's probably because she's not touting massive thighs..
nice costume, shame about the face and especially the nose.

@Zolbrod:
Tights = pantyhose on your side of the pond. ;o)
