KOF Mai Shiranui Queen's Gate Figure - New Import

«©NCSX» In volume 4 of the Queen's Gate art book series, artist Mahiru Izumi depicted Mai Shiranui in a number of illustrations which may be described as ribald. Another word might be lecherous but that's what Queen's Gate is all about - ribald themes and lechery featuring heroines from Japanese pop culture. In one of Mahiru's illustrations, Mai wears a beautiful and brightly colored kimono which is halfway off and her voluptuous bosom is somewhat covered by her crossed arms. That illustration serves as the inspiration for the Mai Queen's Gate figure from Japanese toy manufacturer Volks.

A couple of months ago, Japanese mail-order outfit HobbyJapan started preorders for an exclusive toy figure from Volks which recreates Mai's kimono illustration in PVC form. The kimono is decorated with assorted flowers and the garment drapes loosely around her waist. Mai is barefoot and a little bit of leg may be spotted when viewing the figure from the front. A red/white hand fan gripped in Mai's right hand adds a bit of flair. Mai measures 16.50cm or roughly 6.50" in height and is fully painted, assembled, and ready for display. NCS received our shipment of the figures yesterday and all preorders have shipped out already. New orders are welcome to ship today at US$109.90 per figure.
