Personally, I think the statue is 1/4, Guys she isn't in her main costume, she pretty much naked beside the swim wear clothing, that is why she is small. I am sick tired of the thunder thighs we need to get back to the good old days where a woman thighs are well tone and not a male size tree trunks, that is just disgusting.
It’s advertised as 1/4. It should be 1/4.

Has absolutely NOTHING to do with the costume she is wearing, or the size of her muscles.

I’m not asking for 1/3.... But this is essentially a 1/5 Chun Li.

So yeah, she’s too small.

If they do a Battle Dress version I hope they print her LARGER than they did this one to account for shrinking in the casting process.

Yeah man scale ≠ anatomy proportions.

For some reason when I buy a statue that says 1/4 scale I expect it to reasonably be in scale with... other 1/4 scaled pieces, especially from similar 1/4 scale lines of the same license from the same company.

Also when I buy a 1/3 advertised statue I DON"T expect to pay 1/4 prices so yes I would gladly pay 3K+ for a 1/3 Chun-li EVO set with this sculpt, pose, and proportions.
If I was wanting a thunder thighed Chun-li I'd be content with the previous PCS 1/3 releases.

And I "complain" however I see fit. Not going to be taking the happy shaft for any of these companies. POing a $455 statue that arrives looking like a mini Cooper among my other full size SUVs is not my idea of a fun way to waste money.

Sideshow did give the dimension of the statue, so therefore, if you were not satisfy with the statue you should just not order it. I am sure there are plenty of people who would like to take your cancel order.

From your complain, it just seems to me you want thunder thighs in all your Chun Li statue.

PCS already gave you the dimension before the statue even release. No point in complaining about the statue proportion when PCS already gave the dimension a year ago.

I mean if you don't like the statue just cancel your order and let some other who wants this sculpt to enjoy it.

I did “just not order it”, because I don’t want her in a bathing suit.

I would order it in the battle dress, that’s why I’m asking for the print to be slightly larger so that it will be an appropriately sized 1/4 Chun Li.

The spokesman for PCS who posts on this site already confirmed she came out slightly under scale.

Which I appreciated the honesty, it was refreshing.

It’s a beautiful statue. I happen to think it’s very attractive and well executed. The Morrigan as well.

But the fact is, she’s undersized. The real question, why the hell does that bother you so much?

Are you the art director or something? In charge of QC?

Chill out.

Honestly speaking, if this statue bothers you guys then I highly recommend you send me your copy. I'll take it off your hands free of charge and liberate you of the issue once and for all. No need to thank me either. I'm just looking out for you.

You dog. I should just buy you one because of that Kinnikuman profile picture.

I received both Chun Li and Morrigan versions today. Without comparing these staues to other 1/4 pieces, they are nice. However, the head on Morrigan is smaller than Chun Li.

I don't love these statues, especially spending $1400 plus when you factor exchange, duty, and taxes.

I like the straps PCS uses to strap the styrofoam together.

Thanks for the feedback. Odd that the head size would be different, but there's probably some reason for it. Maybe that is part of the reason why the Morrigan one looks underscaled.

Some seriously contrasting correlations there to reach that final evaluation.
