PCS: Street Fighter - Chun-Li Powerlifting 1/4 Statue

[Gyro Zeppeli]

That being said, the others are right that she does look as advertised. He is, thus, an idiot for being her at retail price to begin with. His IQ is questionable to begin with though. He looks at a clearly loose fitting shirt and questions why it isn't skin tight. He wonders why the materials of a weight don't look a material that they aren't even trying to look like.

If he were just handed the statue randomly at gunpoint while being forced to record with a phone vertically, then the review makes sense especially if he was just told the pricepoint upfront. He's right that the accessories look extremely cheap, that the paintjob is flat, that her leg definition is nonexistent given the situation, among other things. She looks like a $400 at best. That is very much the case. The fact that people like him spend the full price anyway and just return statues and get a full refund is actually really silly though.

So let it be clear that my issue is not that she suddenly looks bad. My issue was with how she looked to begin with in comparison to the price. I always liked this statue as a statue, but I also always had an issue with how her legs lacked definition, which was why I was always conflicted on this specific version versus the others. To me, it just looked like they took her default version and painted the blue leggings to a skin color. She still looks like she is wearing tights to me. It doesn't look like skin and it lacks the muscle definition to suggest otherwise. I actively chose not to preorder this not because I disliked the statue. I like it quite a bit. I chose to avoid it because I hoped it would go down in price.

My main issue with most PCS statues these days is that I feel they are overpriced. I also know they tend to get delayed a lot and I am not too keen on their customer service and website. I would rather just take my chances with the aftermarket. If the statue goes up in price, I honestly don't mind and I just ignore it and move on. If it goes on deep discount, it feels like a nice win to me. If it floats at the same price, I just skip it. I imagine a lot of people are doing this same tactic too because PCS seems to be getting more and more aggressive with their PR and with their preorders in general. They probably rack up quite a healthy amount just on NRD, though I imagine that is the name of the game for most of these statue companies.

Hmm, would you say the reviewer was...GOATING?

To be honest, if this is his first PCS statue, I can understand why he thinks she looks cheap. I thought the same way about my juri 1:4 statue, when I first i got her. Especially when you are used to Prime1, Queen Studios or JND standards. The painting on PCS statues is pretty bland.

Doesn't change the fact that this is what he paid for! Doesn't make any sense to cry about it the whole video. Hopefully, someone with a better camera and better reviewing skills does a review, because it looks pretty good for what it is.

There is nothing wrong with mentioning that PCS detail could be improved.(I agree), but not the whole video. Ignoring the good things this piece does. Kind of a pointless video really.

I saw the Battle version at SDCC and it looked great. So if it looks like the piece they showed there, and it looks like it does, everyone will be happy

More i look at battle version more she looks like Kora to me from avatar than chun li.

Chun-Li Alpha arrived today. I took a peek in the box, and the piece looks good.
The portrait size is the large end of 1/4 scale. I almost thought the portrait looked 1/3 scale.
I double checked on the PCS website, and Chun-Li is 1/4 scale. I wonder why PCS made the 1/4 as large as it is?

I'll be curious as plan is for this 1:4 Chun-Li to be next to my 1:3 Chun Li from them.

I might unbox the statue tonight. I will take a shot of Chun-Li next to the 1/4 Elena statue.
Chun-Li Powerlifting could possibly be classed as 7/24 scale, which Quora informed is the middle of 1/4 - 1/3

I'd be okay with that as not expecting to put her next to 1:4. I do find it curious how this happens.
