Great comparisons. I feel like between the two of them is my “perfect” Chun-li, but I don’t think I’ll be disappointed in the Playtoy version. I should look into getting a stand for her (assuming she doesn’t come with one).Received the Playtoy Chun-li the other day, excuse the not to great photos as I was in abit of a rush.
First impressions, she feels quite nice and I love the dark blue dress, her arms and thighs are thicker than the Starman version, also stands a little shorter. The white hair buns are also better made and the magnets are stronger so wont fall off as easy.

Some minor gripes, the Playtoy ankles are really weak, she has a problem standing on her own. Dunno if its my copy but it would be nice to see if other collectors have the same problem with the weak ankles. Posing wise she feels not as flexible as the Starman, the elbows however are better made and has thicker silicone to not show the metal frame which was an issue with the Starman.
I unfortunately also got a paint scuff on my Chun-li's face and white bun, Kinda sucks but I think it was due to the white buns becoming loose during transit and probably scratched itself.
Long story short, I think Playtoy is better to look at and looks more expensive to me. But the Starman is the much better figure to pose and can stand unsupported.
Not bothered by the height difference. She’s 5’7”, I believe, so she should still scale fine with all my other figures.
