«©NCSX» The Kinu Nishimura version of Mai Shiranui which was released a couple of years ago was one of NCS' best selling toys in recent memory. Two productions were required in Japan to meet demand and most shops have since sold out. Mai looked natural, somewhat attractive, and Asian based counterfeiters saw fit to clone the toy as they're apt to do with products that are in high demand.
Max Factory has started preorders for another Kinu Nishimura figure and this time, it's Morrigan of Vampire Savior fame who gets love. Sculptor Takeshi Hamasaki was hired to do the job but Morrigan looks somewhat off. The figure's proportions are fine but her pose is odd. We once saw a lumberjack pose like that after eating 12 flapjacks and an equal serving of sausage links. Morrigan's face is also suspect since her lips appear to have been injected with collagen. In any case, preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2009 at JPY12,800 or US$135.90 from NCS.
