【Mai Shiranui x Paint Artist MA-MAN Mai Shiranui】Wearing an arranged outfit with a dynamic pose! Mai Shiranui x Paint Artist MA-MAN Version designed by paint artist MA-MAN-Sensei is made into a 1/6 scale 3D figure!

If you know “THE KING OF FIGHTERS” series, just taking one look at Mai Shiranui's appearance might make you feel “Ah, this dynamic feel is typical of Mai”. However, this time's “Mai Shiranui x Paint Artist MA-MAN Mai Shiranui 1/6 Complete Figure” is not an item merely making the familiar character into a 3D figure as is. In a special specification born through a collaboration with paint artist MA-MAN, the costume also adopts an arranged style designed for this project. While valuing the gorgeousness typical of Mai Shiranui, because it is finished into a visual with a flavor different from usual, fans who have watched the character for many years seem likely to receive a fresher impression. There is fun in gazing, thinking “So this is what happens when Mai and MA-MAN combine”, and you can solidly feel individuality unique to collaboration figures.

When talking about this figure, what I want to pay attention to first would be the posing. The figure lightly leaping on one leg while readying folding fans in both hands seems about to start moving as is in the next moment despite supposed to be stationary. Speaking of Mai Shiranui, her combat style combining elegance and strength is impressive, and it has become a sculpting as if condensing that feature into a single pose. Rather than simply making her stand upright, expressing the character trait of “dancing” using the whole body is an interesting point. Looking including the spread of both arms, movements of legs, and positions of folding fans, the impression of the silhouette seems likely to change depending on which direction you look from. It can be said to be a type of figure that makes you want to observe changing angles even after displaying, rather than “ending after viewing from the front”.

Not only poses, but also her face is packed with charm typical of Mai Shiranui. The combination of a charming wink and a confident smile suits her image well of playing with opponents while unleashing brilliant techniques. Furthermore, because replacement face parts are included in this product, being able to enjoy changes in facial expressions when displaying is also a pleasing point. Figures sometimes look different down to the pose itself just by changing the face's impression. Having an element where you can choose “Which facial expression shall I display today?” makes it attractive to create your favorite way of showing while being a completed product. Bold action poses and rich facial expressions unite, seeming to convey even Mai Shiranui's brightness and composure in 3D.

And what cannot be missed is sculpting taking advantage of the character's style. Supply extended legs, a tightened waist, and body lines unique to Mai Shiranui are expressed impressively. Not just emphasizing proportions, but by combining with the movement of leaping on one leg, the flow of the body itself connects to the beauty of the pose, which is the point. There is also good compatibility with the arranged costume by MA-MAN, allowing you to appreciate the character's charm and the artist's unique sense of design at the same time. Because multiple elements like costume, facial expressions, and body movements unite into one, shifting your eyes to details after gazing at the whole seems to bring new discoveries.

This product is 1/6 scale, with a total height including the pedestal of about 270mm. It is a painted complete product adopting PVC and ABS for materials. With a size of about 27cm, it will demonstrate sufficient presence even when displayed in a collection case or shelf. Because set contents are structured with the figure main unit, pedestal, and replacement face parts, once obtained you can choose your favorite facial expression and enjoy display in combination with the pedestal. Precisely because it is a larger scale, you will want to thoroughly appreciate arranged costumes, facial expressions, and posing.

If asked “There are many Mai Shiranui figures, but where is this different?”, after all the uniqueness born through collaboration with MA-MAN would be a major point. A figure dancing lightly with folding fans in hand, an expression making you feel composure, a beautiful silhouette, and a specially designed arranged costume. By combining each, while leaving the image of Mai Shiranui active in games, it is finished into a 3D work possessing new charm. Coolness as a fighting woman, and gorgeousness unique to Mai Shiranui. For people who want to enjoy both with a 1/6 scale full of presence, it is a collection item that makes you want to gaze thoroughly.
