I wonder if there might be preference for collectors who only order the Evo set. It might be so that collectors can match the set number with Chun Li Legacy Set number. It would make the set of 1/3 really special to a collector.
I think I understand why it might be limited to just the Evo set. Im still looking at Chun Li photos. It looks absolutely amazing..

So if you take the vest off...no boobs !

Classic and Battle have the same exact face. Just painted differently.

This is a brutal test of discipline. I'd prefer a 1:4 of Chun, as she isn't at a '1:3 tier' for me. I need to hold out for a revisit... but damn. Simply amazing work.

We remade these costumes dozens of times before we got them right. We went through 4 costumers before we found our new costumer, Sam. He is new to collectibles and usually works on film projects, but he loves Street Fighter and particularly Chun Li. He was the only costumer who 'got it'
The base was designed, sculpted, molded and painted and the done over again from scratch because we felt the original was too busy.
Must have put over 1200 cumulative hours into her and Im afraid of looking at how much we spent. I eventually stopped adding it up as it was painful. But had to be done.
But I believe we have created the Chun Li that I have always wanted, and hopefully you as well
Thanks for going on this ride with us !

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
