Chun-Li Lightning Legs Her Way into BigBoysToys’ Street Fighter Line

Over the past year, BigBoysToys has released two figures in a unique Street Fighter line that incorporates lighting and sounds to enhance presentation. Their first offerings focused on friendly rivals Ryu and Ken, but now the strongest woman in the world is ready to make her debut.

Similar to past releases, the Chun-Li figure highlights her most iconic attack in a cute, chibi-like style, with a batter-powered glow that really brings the Lightning Legs (or Hyakuretsukyaku for you purists out there) to life. A button on the base allows you to light up each kick in succession, but you’ll have to rely on mashing instead of piano inputs to get the full effect.

Chun-Li is currently available for pre-order through Play-Asia. Shipments are expected to begin in February.
