I've always been a fan of the Chun Li character and have collected several models and figures of her. I just acquired one that has to have the most muscular thighs I've ever seen on a CAPCOM sanctioned figure of her. They are something else.

Incredible!!! ;D

thanks for the post.  i used to choose her in street fighter just to see her muscular thighs at work!  ;D

I, however, am very critical of this figure because Chun Li is depicted with a slender upper body when in fact the martial arts are supposed to hone the whole body into a living weapon.

Have you ever played the Street Fighter game and seen the character in context? She doesn't have an huge muscular or super buff upper body because her attacks and proficiencies are specialize to her legs. Even though she can deliver powerful punches, most of her attacks are centered immensely powerful and devestating kicks and jumps.

The character depicts her as she appears in the Street Fighter II, III, Alpha, Turbo and vs Marvel games. She is more muscular all over in IV.

  There's some merit to that, however I'd dispute that due to the fact that in the Alpha series, she wears a bodysuit which exposes her quite muscular upper body.  When she's wearing her traditional dress, she appears less muscular in the upper body, which I've always attributed to tradition, as well as the fact that those sleeves hide whatever she might be packing.

In the bodysuit, she does look muscular all over, but its more of a "figure competitor" muscularity than the other series. Here's a pic, the CAPCOM Alpha figure is in the back. Sorry its blurry but its the only picture I have until I get moved into my new house.
