What am I talking about you ask? Well.... I'm sure most of the avid statue collectors have noticed the recent, ongoing trend of SideShow basing their female PFs off of the incredible Artwork of Artgerm!

The PFs look phenomenal, just like his artwork.

So, I was thinking about my favorite lady sculpt. The beautiful (repainted) Chun Li PF, when I realized she too is based off of Artgerm's work!

So I just wanted to thank Jerry, not only for an awesome Chun PF, but ushering in an era of stunning PF's based on his artwork. (Power Girl ftw!)

Is this picture ArtGerms work too?? I love his art style and love my chunners, Jerry fixed our eyes little less than a year ago and now my Chun-Li's are perfect! I have the red and blue didn't get the black as i liked her in the red and blue…. And one day i will own the pink chin li variant it may cost me thousands but if i ever have chance to own it i will

Hey Sarah,

Yes ma'am, that picture is the art on which the Chun Li PF was based, and is done by none other than Artgerm.

So a print of that art would display beautifully with the statues (and with Harley, Ivy, Catwoman, Power Girl etc, etc, if you were doing prints for any of those ladies.) Congrats on having your Chun's eyes and makeup fixed.

I had mine done right when she released. Couldn't bare to look at her until she came back from Jerry's!

I Want to buy a red or blue chunli not repainted. Is there a difference in the eyes? I saw on YouTube that the red is worse. Can you live with the eyes if your not so critical and don't look at it at 5inch distance?

I just bought one and I would STRONGLY advise that you wait for one that was corrected. that lazy eye looks horrible.

I didn't have to wait too long to find the right one 8)

Would you prefer buying this version of her instead..She is gorgeous IMO though...




If so ,you can pick her up for a great price at either Sideshow or BBTS. She is all polystone, no fabric.

But she is 17" tall according to the info on sideshow website..

Why not get the 1/3 Chun Li or wait for ultra line or even the new 1/6. I’ll be honest those old sf statues are vastly outdated. It’s not only the eyes that bothered me, her fabric looks cheap especially the legging and her skin tone is terrible. Almost Indian looking skin wise than Chinese. I can’t beleive people used to hype these old pieces up even if PCS was the one doing the best sf at the time the prices people were paying comparing products from other companies was just mind blowing.

Glad market corrected itself on these pieces.

Thank you all, I must say that I really like the old statues with musea pose. Balrog is my favorite statue, and I have zangief ultra and akuma 1/3. Red Chunli is really cheap now and I like the pose and fabric. Chunli 1/3 is 5times more expensive. The only thing that could bother me is the googly eyes. If I can pose chunli without noticing these eyes I am happy. She is not my most important piece, but I want the 12 world warriors and they must be 1/4.

Too bad the production piece arrived using a much darker blue than the prototype.

Just go for it! And a blue one
You won’t see a huge difference if you are not looking at it very very close. Mixed media is cool and she has got wires in her hair bands just like OG Ryu so you can adjust them as you want
Such a great feeling having the 12 WW

That's fine with me, since I happen to like that darker shade of blue
