Packaging Information
Filecard Information
Unlike many of the other contestants, Chun Li has not entered the tournament for personal glory. Instead, she has been secretly tracking the movements of an international smuggling operation known as Shadoloo. The trail has lead her to the tournament and she now believes that one of the Grand Masters may have been responsible for the disappearance of her father. Stunned by her good looks, opponents often underestimate Chun Li's ability and find themselves flattened by a few well placed kicks. Chun Li's quest for justice guides her life, but at heart she is still a young girl who yearns to live a normal life.
"I'm the strongest woman in the world!"
Variations
No variations of Chun Li (v1) are known to exist.
Body Construction
While Chun Li's head was new, the rest of Chun Li was created using the mold of Scarlett (v2) (1993). The entire Chun Li mold was also used to create Chun Li (v2) (1993).
Chun Li's body was designed with a "whirlwind kick." Chun Li's spring-loaded right leg could be pushed back, then released, causing it to spring forward in a kicking motion.
Note that Chun Li has two cloth ribbons attached to her right hip.
Versions of Chun Li
A Street Fighter Movie version of Chun Li was released in 1994, but the Street Fighter Movie figures are not considered G.I.Joe figures.
