But what IS IT?
Only Stryker knows, and he isn't dropping any hints! Should I give a clue? Should I have some fun with this? It's just a toy, so no reason to worry about it being overhyped. I just want to have a little fun.
Hmm.
HMMMMM. What should the first clue be?
Ah ha! The first clue is....."Destro."
That is all for now.

Do you mean "Destro" as in me or "Destro" as in the gijoe character? I'm guesssing you picked up a street fighter statue, probably chun li. AmIright? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Since peaugh gets Transformers early like the movie Soundwave and some of the scout vehicles can we assume this is something from the GI Joe movie?

Hehe. I mean "Destro" the Energon Station user....and you're on the right track, Destro!
No GI Joe movie items, WJ35. But! I hope to have some Joe items within the next few months...
Sorry about the lack of Samus, gunman.

Did you get the blanka statue? vega? If you have that sagat statue, I'm gonna rob you. Or maybe it's that RAH Chun Li...?

Yep. That's it.
I'll probably post a SLEW of pics.
I already have several ideas for poses, and I am open for suggestions if you have some.
My guess is that we already have some of the same ones in mind.

See if you can rig up a kikoken (spelling?) fireball effect.

The good news is that she is here. The bad news is that I am sick. The fact I am sick allowed me to be here and receive the UPS package firsthand. The other bad news is the batteries on my camera just ran out. The other good news is that I did snap a cheapo picture before the battery died. This will have to hold you until I get a chance to feel better and setup proper lighting. ![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/estation/ChunLi/chunli1.jpg)

Sorry you're feeling crappy ck, hope you feel better soon (..and not just so you can take more pics ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) )! I think you just may talk me into picking this one up, ck. Where did you get yours? I found one on bbts for $200, but I'm sure I can find it cheaper elsewhere.

I thought about trying to take some pictures tonight, but I literally crashed into bed after work. I guess I really truly needed some extra sleep.
I did pick it up from BBTS. I saw some other places that had it and were sold out. I also saw some places on ebay that were selling it that were in like Singapore or China and needed $30 shipping. I probably still would have had a grand total that was cheaper than BBTS, but I knew BBTS to be reliable.
Granted...that didn't stop them from putting it in a box with NO padding at all. The box was crushed when I got it. There was minimal damage to the Chun-Li box, but still! This is a freakin' $200 item, guys!
Bottom line - if you buy from BBTS, request better packaging or be prepared to not have the best condition box when it arrives.

Okay...I promise to get some official pictures up sometime soon but OH MY GOODNESS. I keep messing around with Chun-Li (don't read into that), and it is really amazing how much she can be posed. On top of this, she can hold a lot of poses WITHOUT A STAND! How many 12" figures can you pose like this, let go, and they don't fall?? Not many! ![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/estation/ChunLi/chunli2.jpg)
