SNK The King of Fighters ’98 Mai Shiranui EX Bishoujo Statue
Mai Shiranui Returns to the Kotobukiya BISHOUJO Series
The SNK The King of Fighters ’98 Mai Shiranui EX Bishoujo Statue is an updated edition of Kotobukiya’s King of Fighters ’98 Mai Shiranui from the BISHOUJO series. It uses the same sculpt as the original King of Fighters ’98 Mai Shiranui Bishoujo Statue, which debuted in 2022, and gives it what Kotobukiya calls a deluxe coat of paint. Like the original, it’s based on artwork by Shunya Yamashita, and it sits alongside the rest of the SNK King of Fighters Bishoujo statues.
What’s New in the EX Edition
The pose is unchanged: Mai stands in her red and white kunoichi outfit, ready to fight, and the figure is designed to look good from any angle. What’s different is the finish. Her outfit has been repainted, and her skin tones have a smoother, more realistic texture. The base also gets new paint and a more detailed manhole cover. It recreates the road under an overpass from the JAPAN STREET stage, based on Esaka in Osaka.
If you already own the 2022 release, the EX edition is a chance to display the two side by side and compare the paint work. If you missed the original, it’s an easy way to add Mai to your shelf without hunting down the 2022 release.
