About Chun Li and joints specifically, I don't think there's any joint on it that can possibly crack or break if anyone is worried about it. The swappable parts (head and hands) have very simple pegs that get in and out easily.
>>6628163>What about Storm Collectibles [Chun Li]? Is that out yet?I would say it's a good figure with three problems:
-Face sculpt (serious problem here; have had jokes and flaming criticism about it and there's some truth to them with the figure on my hand)
-Doesn't look right when she stands straight, because of forced proportions (your mileage may vary) and dumb asymmetrical hip piece (no mileage about this one; it's just wrongly sculpted).
-Silken outfit is matte (just like in-game, so this one is 100% subjective on my part).
I think it can look great in action poses (

Anyways, although it is advertised as 1/12, the SC line is actually 1/10, so any comparisons to the Figuarts have to take your master plan into account. This is, think whether you only want to display Chun Li or you'd like to have KoF, Tekken figures, etc. Storm Collectibles has got the licenses to a shitload of fighting games and their line can become a fan's wet dream, but on the other hand it's expensive to buy them all, and most people will already have a bunch of 1/12 figures in the same size of the Figuarts and there are some KoF Figmas coming around.
