Max Factory Re-releases Chun-Li "Respite After Battle" Street Fighter Statue
Collectors and fans of the Street Fighter universe once again have the opportunity to pre-order the 1/6 scale Chun-Li statue from Max Factory.
Originally released in 2024 by Max Factory and Good Smile Company, this statue draws inspiration from an illustration created for medical booklets as part of a unique collaboration between Capcom and Momochihama Chozai Pharmacy. Significantly, Akira Yasuda, the renowned Japanese illustrator and creator of Chun-Li's iconic design, personally reviewed and approved the artwork, ensuring its authenticity.
The highly anticipated re-release of the statue is scheduled for August 2026. Enthusiasts can currently pre-order it for 33,000 Japanese Yen (approximately 16,475 Russian Rubles).
Sculptor Hiroshi Yuasa masterfully captures Chun-Li in a rare moment of respite after fierce battles. The statue's base is intricately designed as a crumbling concrete block, upon which a bottle, presumably containing water or an isotonic drink, is placed.
Crafted from plastic, the figure stands at an impressive 27 cm tall, including its dynamic base.
