Filing from the Old News Division: first introduced at Winter Wonder Festival 2007 on February 25th, (see Moeyo’s coverage) and again unveiled at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition Spring 2007 (Moeyo) on March 13th, last Friday’s episode of Goodsmile’s One Hobby News Watch brought official videographic documentation (and a great size reference – she’s huge) of what in my addled brain is perhaps the most aniticipated PVC bishoujo figure to be released in summer 2007: Max Factory’s Nishimura Kinu-designed, Hamasaki Gou-sculpted Shiranui Mai from King of Fighters. She’s tentatively scheduled for a July release, but we know how these things change… keep an eye on your online shop of choice, as her pre-order window is likely to close as soon as it opens. (no more)
LOVE / NEED
Even though I’ve only played King of Fighters a few times in my life, I always played as Mai. God. She is so hot. I may need this.
I’ve never played the game, I don’t even like her design that much (vertical ponytails don’t do it for me), but this is such an exceptional rendering that I find all vestiges of willpower to the contrary being washed away. ;__;
I am fan of big boobs a little clothing. :V
Well, yeah. Those tend to be my primary figure purchasing criteria these days…
Mmm… big-boops…
@_@
Seriously, though. I’ve always had a thing for Mai. But in Maximum Impact 1 & 2, she was, um, dwarfed by two other spheres (though she’s bouncy as ever).
big-boops BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!
…though Lei Fang still wins out over Mai in my book. Pity she gets the shaft when it comes to figures.
