Update: Sept 7, 2005
Max Factory ships a new 1/8 scale Mai Shiranui figure where the fan-wielding fighter wears her trademark outfit with billowing sash flowing. We weren't too impressed with the recent Kotobukiya 1/7 scale Mai figure which was sculpted by Hironori Tokunaga. In that version, Mai was sculpted a bit chubbier and rounder than what we envision Mai to be about. Max Factory's version is a svelte, sleeker, and sharper edged model. Mai ships in a window paned cardboard box where the figure is packed in a plastic molded berth. Although sculpted to 1/8 scale, the exact measurements of the figure is 10" tall. Details that may not be visible from the photo is a braided rope which criss-crosses Mai's back and wraps around her shoulders before being tied in a knot in front of her left shoulder. A pink/white button accessory is included with the figure along with a pedestal which sprouts a peg to dock Mai's right leg into for display purposes. All preorders will ship today. We have a small buffer quantity for new orders to ship this afternoon. We expect to restock the figure by late September if/when we sell out. View larger photos of this item.
