chun li figure: The Street Fighter Girl I Never Forgot

The first time I came into contact with Street Fighter was at a roadside arcade when I was still a child, and this is where my chun li figure story truly began.

The Arcade Window from My Childhood

At that time, I was very young. I had always been a rather timid child, and I was not good at communicating with people. During my younger years, anime and games were what stayed with me the most. They did not require me to speak first, and they never made me feel embarrassed. As long as I quietly looked at the screen, I could hide for a while inside my own world.

At first, I only dared to stand outside the window and watch the adults operating the arcade machines.

The arcade was very noisy inside. The sounds of machines, buttons, and people talking were all mixed together. Some people shook the joystick hard, some slapped the buttons, and some shouted move names from the side. I stood outside and watched for a long time. I was curious, but also a little afraid.

Later, because I became more and more curious about the game, I finally gathered the courage to walk in.

When I first went inside, I did not like the smell of smoke. I covered my nose and stood behind the crowd, watching the adults play. The characters on the screen kept jumping, punching, kicking, and throwing out one combo after another. Those images completely shocked the child I was back then.

The First Time I Saw Chun-Li

And it was there that I first saw the girl on the screen — Chun-Li.

To me, she was so dazzling.

She wore a blue qipao, white combat boots, and her hair was tied into two clear buns. Her movements were extremely smooth. Every kick and every punch went deeply into my mind.

At that time, I did not understand what character charm was, nor did I understand what a fighting game really meant. I only felt that this girl was different from all the other characters. Her movements were fast, but not messy. Her body looked light, yet every attack carried strength.

After I went home that day, her moves still remained in my mind.

Normally, when I came home, my favorite thing was to watch anime. But that day, I had no mood for it. Sitting on my bed, all I could think about was the way she fought on the screen. She jumped, turned, kicked, and stood firm. Those images appeared again and again, and I simply could not forget them.

When I Learned Her Name

Later, from the words of the adults in the arcade, I heard her name.

Her name was Chun-Li.

From then on, I began browsing online to find out who she was. It turned out that she was not just a simple game character. Her background story was also powerful. She was born in Hong Kong, China. Like me, she was also a fan of Bruce Lee, and she was also an Interpol officer.

After learning these things, my feelings toward her changed.

At first, I only liked her movements in the game. But later, that liking slowly turned into admiration. I would think to myself, how could one girl be so strong? She was not timid like me, and she was not always hiding behind the crowd like I was. She stood on the screen and never backed down in front of any opponent.

At that time, I truly admired her.

The First Time I Really Played as Chun-Li

Later, I saved up my first bit of pocket money.

That day, I was very excited. I took the money and ran to the arcade. My purpose was simple. I wanted to have more contact with Chun-Li. I did not want to keep standing behind others and watching them control her. I also wanted to move her with my own hands.

When it was my turn, I copied the way the adults moved the joystick and hit the buttons.

But perhaps because it was my first time playing, I lost very quickly.

At that moment, I felt very upset. In other people’s hands, Chun-Li could perform such beautiful movements. But in my hands, she seemed completely out of control. I tapped the table twice with regret, feeling very unwilling to accept it.

After I went home, I began searching online to learn how to release her skills.

I read the move instructions again and again, memorizing the joystick directions and the button sequences. At that time, I learned slowly, but that desire kept pushing me. I did not want to be just a bystander. More than anything, I wanted to truly control Chun-Li, and I wanted her to perform those beautiful movements in my hands too.

The next day, I went to that arcade again.

I followed the moves I had seen online the day before and tried again and again. Finally, for the first time, I successfully released one of her skills.

At that moment, I was truly happy.

From that day on, the arcade became my first choice after school every day.

I learned when to kick, when to defend, when to move closer, and when to create distance. At first, I always lost. But later, I slowly began to win. After that, I even became one of the better Chun-Li players in that arcade.

Many adults were no longer my opponents.

I used Chun-Li to defeat them again and again. Every time I won a round, I felt a kind of satisfaction that I could not really describe. It was not simply because I had won the game. It was because I could finally control the character I loved well.

Another Way to Express Myself

As a child, I did not really know how to speak, and I did not know how to get along with others. But in the arcade, I seemed to find another way to express myself.

I did not need to say much.

As long as I stood in front of the machine, selected Chun-Li, and used her skills, I felt that I was not so timid anymore.

Gradually, my feelings for Chun-Li became deeper and deeper.

I seemed to no longer be satisfied with only watching her in the game. I began buying some of her toys and posters. When I saw her pictures, I would think of the sounds in the arcade, the joy I felt when I first released her skill, and the child I used to be, always standing behind the crowd and afraid to speak first.

The Regret That Posters Could Not Fill

But for some reason, those collectibles always made me feel that something was still missing.

The posters were only pasted on the wall.
The ordinary toys were only placed there.
They allowed me to see Chun-Li, but they could not make me feel that she had truly come close to my life.

At that time, I could not really explain this feeling. I only felt in my heart that if one day I could own a chun li figure that truly belonged to me, perhaps that sense of regret would become a little smaller.

After Graduating from University, I Returned to That Road

Later, I graduated from university.

I returned to my hometown.

The Arcade Had Already Closed

One day, I passed by the place where the arcade from my childhood used to be. But that arcade had already closed long ago. The window where I once stood outside and secretly watched was gone, and there were no longer any machine sounds, button sounds, or adults shouting move names inside.

But for some reason, when I stood there, I stopped and looked for a long time.

Clearly, nothing had been left behind. Yet images from the past kept appearing in my mind.

I remembered how I always liked standing outside and looking in when I was little. I also remembered the nervousness I felt the first time I gathered the courage to walk in. Then came the first time I saw Chun-Li, the first time I played as her, and the first time I lost because of my own mistakes. These things had already passed for many years, but that day, they suddenly became especially clear again.

I realized that what I missed was not only that arcade.

What I had always remembered was actually that character.

Over the years, I had bought her posters and some collectibles. But every time I looked at those things, I always felt that something was missing. They could remind me of her, but they could not make me feel that she had truly entered my life.

It was also on that day that I seriously had this thought for the first time.

I wanted to create a Chun-Li that belonged to me.

I liked her.

This feeling had lasted for many years. From the first time I saw her in the arcade as a child, to later learning more about her story, and then to remembering her again after growing up, she had always remained in my memory.

I did not want her to always remain only as a character inside a game.

I wanted her to stay in real life in another form.

So, I decided to make her in the direction of a Hentai Figure.

I wanted her to become my most realistic companion-style collectible.

I Started Making My Own chun li figure

So, I began making this chun li figure.

The Face and Body

I found a craftsman online to help me sculpt her face. To me, the face was the most important part. If the face did not look like Chun-Li, then no matter how good the body, clothes, or materials were, she would still just be a stranger.

I hoped her face would not look too ordinary, and also not too deliberate. She needed to have the feeling I remembered. Not staring forward with an empty look, but carrying a bit of firmness, and also a little sense that she was ready to fight, just like in the game.

For the body, I used full silicone.

Because I did not want her to be only a hard model. Ordinary figures can be admired from a distance, but that was not the distance I wanted. I hoped she could be closer to reality, as if she had truly walked out of the game world.

I also added a jelly chest, making this Hentai Figure feel more realistic to the touch.

The most special part was that I added a metal skeleton inside her body. This allows her body to move freely instead of being fixed in only one pose. She can stand, and she can also have her posture adjusted. To me, this mattered a lot, because in my memory, Chun-Li was always moving.

Skin Tone and Soft Rubber Hair

I also made two different treatments for her skin tone.

One is white, and the other is brown.

I hope different skin tones can give different feelings. White is closer to the visual style of some game images, while brown feels closer to the natural look of real life. No matter which one it is, I hope she can stay close to the true game impression, instead of becoming a completely unfamiliar character.

For the hair, I chose soft rubber hair.

Because Chun-Li’s hairstyle is too important. The two hair buns and ribbons are the parts people remember most easily. If the hair becomes messy, she no longer feels like herself. Soft rubber hair can better preserve her original outline and make her look closer to the Chun-Li from the game.

I did not want to make these production details overly complicated.

I only hoped they could help me complete one wish: to let Chun-Li walk out of the virtual screen.

If you also want to explore more characters from this series, you can view the full Street Fighter figure collection.

I originally thought I would be very excited, that I would immediately take photos after receiving her and place her in the most noticeable spot. But when I really saw her, I first sat there quietly for a while.

I carefully looked at her face, then looked at her hairstyle and overall appearance. As I kept looking, I suddenly remembered the scene from my childhood when I first saw her in the arcade.

Back then, I always liked standing behind the crowd. I did not really dare to approach people on my own. Later, because I wanted to play Street Fighter, I slowly gathered the courage to walk into that arcade. It was also there that I first met Chun-Li.

Those things had already happened many years ago, but when I saw this figure, they surfaced again in my mind.

At that moment, I felt that those memories were no longer only stuck in the past.

She was no longer just a character on the screen, and she was no longer just a poster on the wall of my room. She had truly appeared in front of me.

I reached out and gently adjusted her pose.

At that moment, I felt a very special kind of satisfaction in my heart. It was not the excitement of buying a new collectible. It was more like completing a wish that had stayed in my heart for many years.

I had finally brought Chun-Li back into reality.

How My Life Changed After Owning Her

After owning her, my life did not suddenly become very dramatic.

But my room did become different.

Before, my room was only a place to rest. I came back when I was tired from work, slept, woke up, and left again. Many things were simply placed there without much emotion. But after Chun-Li appeared, my room gained a piece of memory.

When I see her, I often think of the road I walked as a child, and I also think of that arcade that has been closed for a long time. Sometimes, I also remember the shock I felt when I first saw her in the game, and the way I sat in front of the computer, repeatedly searching for information so I could learn her skills.

A More Real Sense of Companionship

She stands there. She does not need to speak, and she does not need to do anything. As long as she is there, I feel that the childhood days from back then have not completely disappeared.

This is why I wanted a Hentai Figure.

I did not simply want to own an ordinary figure. What I wanted was a more realistic sense of companionship. She is not just placed there for me to look at. Instead, she feels like she has brought one part of my past back into the present.

When I have free time, I sometimes casually tidy her clothes or adjust her pose. Sometimes, after coming home from work, I simply sit beside her and look at her for a while, and my mood slowly becomes calm.

That one glance is enough to remind me of many things.

How I Will Live with Her in the Future

In the future, I want her to truly become part of my life.

When I Come Home

After coming home from work, I will probably still sit down and rest for a while, just like before. The difference is that when I raise my head, she will be there.

Sometimes, when work does not go well and I am not in a good mood, I may sit beside her and space out. When I see her, I will think of those simple days from childhood. Back then, although I was timid and did not have much money, the thing I looked forward to most every day was running to the arcade after school.

On weekends, when I have time, I may help her change into another pose.

Sometimes I will let her take on a fighting pose. Sometimes I will let her stand there like her entrance pose from the game. Every time I finish adjusting her, I cannot help but look at her a few more times, because that feeling is very similar to looking at her on the screen when I was young.

When I see her, I will remember the nervousness I felt the first time I walked into the arcade. I will remember the excitement I felt when I first released her skill. I will also remember the version of myself who was once not very good at expressing himself.

Maybe many people would think this is just a Hentai Figure.

But to me, she is more like an old friend who has accompanied me for many years.

From the first time I saw her as a child to now bringing her into real life, many years have passed. Many more years will pass in the future, and I hope that no matter when I come home, I can still see her standing there.

Not as a virtual character, and not as an old poster, but as a chun li figure that truly belongs to me.

What She Keeps Is Not Only a Character

Many people collect characters because they love the work itself.

But for me, making this chun li figure is more like preserving a part of my own growth.

If there had not been that arcade from my childhood, I might never have known Chun-Li. If there had not been repeated failures and practice, I would not have developed such deep feelings for this character. She accompanied me through the years when I did not know how to express myself and always liked hiding behind the crowd.

After all these years, many things have changed.

The arcade is gone, and the people who used to play games back then have each gone on with their own lives. But every time I see her, those memories still become very clear.

Perhaps this is why I insisted on making her.

Because some characters have already gone beyond the meaning of the game itself.

She represents my interests, my youth, and that time I can never return to.

And now, she has finally stayed in my life in another form.
