HMO Mai Shiranui 1/4

[Augen]

1/ Public PO????? didnt you already open the pre-order earlier?
Yes we did , but the early pre-order is for our loyal fans and HMO insider members only , we did not publish the PO publicly. This Public pre-order will follow a full marketing exposure that will attract people outside of our circle of fans and members - hence Public Pre-order
2/ The Face looks nothing like the Mai we know,
HMO worked closely with SNK officials to come up with the face design, The face we crafted is designed to represent Mai as guided by the creators of the character. We all infused some artistic liberties in the design of the face to be beautiful whilst retaining her spirit. The HMO girls way.
3/ When will she ship ?
We tweaked our production methodology to better serve our fans, this means we run our approval and factory prototype in parallel which means production for the piece has already started. We target to get Mai to your collection by end of this year!

Answered some of the common questions which is nice.

I guess what hmo should do is give her that super pixilated face and body so most the bozos complaining can be happy.
Hmo made her prettier that what she is in the games from the 90’s.

It's a massive improvement over that initial reveal, i personally still don't like her face....it's not KOF98 Mai to me....but as they say it's done HMO style...yet Morrigan was perfect.

I can already picture my two Mais looking great side by side.

This is gorgeous. It’s going to be hard to choose between this and Kinetiquettes. Really hope both companies keep these going so we see Yuri, King, Leona, Blue Mary and Chizuru.

Two masterpieces, I already choose Kinetiquettes, is not only about the whole face discussion, but because it´s base in an Artgerm painting, and he is one of the greatest ilustrators today, a real artist, but you can´t go wrong with HMO, it´s very beautiful, another point is very important, this one have almost 30 inches, the other have 20, in my case I don´t have space for the HMO version.

About new ones, I heard that Kinetiquettes is working in a new statue in the same style, a lady from Street Fighter (just a rumor), and HMO is working on Felicia, I hope they keep going with the work, Blue Mary is a great choice for a second KOF girl
