STREET FIGHTER CHUN-LI 

BISHOUJO STATUE !!!!

The incredible Bishoujo statues from Kotobukiya have brought you everything from superheroines to Tekken fighters, and now the long-awaited line of Street Fighter members is finally here with the one, the only, CHUN LI!  One of the bestselling video game franchises of all time, Street Fighter first debuted in 1987 with its unique blend of one on one combat and international characters (and fighting styles).  The beautiful and fierce Chun Li first appeared in 1991’s Street Fighter II and has since gone on to become one of the most popular and recognizable characters from the series.  A Chinese fighter and an undercover Interpol agent, she exemplifies justice and honorable martial arts.  Chun Li is presented in a brand new Bishoujo Statue based on a new illustration by master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita.






 Chun Li is captured mid-kick, finishing off an unseen opponent with one of her signature moves from the Street Fighter video games.  She rests solely on her right foot, her body bent at a nearly 90 degree angle while her left foot extends high into the air.  The fighter wears her iconic blue outfit based on the traditional Chinese qipao with yellow piping and designs along with brown tights, white combat boots, and her trademark spiked bracelets.  Not only does her intricately sculpted clothing move along with her body to create the illusion of motion, but also the ribbons tied around her “ox horns” hairstyle.  The sculpted and painted details on Chun Li’s outfit and lithe musculature is perfect, a perfect representation of the high quality you’ve come to expect from Kotobukiya.  Even the fighter’s face, smoothly combining the intense focus of the moment with traditional Bishoujo beauty, is captivating and eye-catching.




    Figurine Details:
  • Captured mid-kick pose
  • Highly detailed sculpting includes all the folds and waves in her flowing clothes, muscular legs, and hair ties. 
  • Chun Li stands nearly 8 inches (20 cm) tall in 1/7 scale.


A must buy for all Street Fighter fans!

Release Date February 2014!!!

Ryo Hazuki - Shenmue

Finally Ryo Hazuki arrives to Australia!!!


I could not believe my eyes when I heard the initial release of Ryo Hazkui Statue. For those out there who do not know who this character is, check out some clips on youtube of Sega's release of Shenmue. This game was released on the old classic Sega Dreamcast console. This game was an all time classic, I spent hours playing this game when I was in high school, the story line was amazing and the character itself became an all time classic addition to the Sega family.























































Shenmue Storyline:

Ryo is an 18 year old from 1980s Yokosuka, Japan. He sports a brown leather jacket bearing a tiger on the back, and a small plaster just below his left eye. Having been trained in martial arts from a young age in his father's dojo, Ryo is on a quest to find the evil Lan Di, after a fateful encounter which resulted in the death of Ryo's father (Iwao Hazuki) right in front of Ryo's eyes.








Ryo Hazuki Stands at 1/6 scale, and 12 inches in height, cast in high quality polystone and painted by hand, he is stood in a 'ready for action' stance, ready to take on any challengers as he walks the streets of Yokosuka.
