THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV: Mai Shiranui

Mai Shiranui, a female ninja of the Shiranui-ryuu Ninjutsu Style, is being released as a figure in her design from the latest release in the KOF series, THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV!

Her characteristic outfit, one that you will know is Mai’s at a glance, has been faithfully recreated down to the floral patterns, her greatest characteristic in KOFXIV. Mai’s super impressive body, which you can catch glimpses of from under her outfit, has been carefully molded from her body line down to the figure’s volume. Her large 1/6 scale produces a spectacular volume and it is because of that volume that the gaps in her outfit are formed. These features and more make this a figure with many highlights.
Definitely please check Mai Shiranui’s impressive molding, created as a model with the latest specifications, for yourself!

The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2: White Gown Goddess Lisa

White Gown Goddess Risa from The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, a dark fantasy action RPG made using the best software in Japan, is being released by AMAKUNI. Her lightning-like blonde hair has been recreated with color modulation. She is full of dramatic molds such as her inviting fingertips, her captivating bodyline that peeks out from her nurse outfit, and a drill that dynamically smashes into the rocks at her feet like a scene out of the game. Her skin was implemented with a “sleek feel” that is unlike that of a figure’s thanks to being manufactured with the special Smooth Skin process.
Definitely please welcome the cute White Gown Goddess Risa brought to you by AMAKUNI to your collection.
