Man i really don't like her face and the price is nuts imo, love the base and the effect and the body sculpt but the face isn't what i'm looking for in Mai at all.

Offering a switch out Shinkiro/more realistic style head sculpts would get more people on board imo...she's based on 14 and she's really not as anime as this statue is....
Yeah I saw her up on bbts. Her face ruins a pretty awesome piece imo. She has no nose, her whole face comes to a point. I cant get Disney’s Fuzzbucket out of my head when I look at her.

I'm not feeling the face on this one either. I had the same issue with the Amakuni one. I don't know if SNK is forcing this style of face sculpt on Mai, but it is way too soft looking. Just look at the zoomed out shots. You can barely make out any details from her face. It is almost flat and devoid of color/style. It might as well just be eyes on a blank face. I'm wondering if the issue is the bright lighting. It might be drowning out the details.

Same here. Bland face, too much base. Wasn't Prototypez doing some SNK?

They are last I heard, but there hasnt been any news. Their SF line slowed down and is probably delaying it.

I figured they would address the portrait before PO but I guess not, the details seem washed out. It reminds me of some of the older anime PVC figures which is a shame as the rest of the piece looks really cool.

And HMO and Kinnetiquettes and Infinity Studio...waited years for any company to do SNK/NeoGeo stuff and now everyone is.

Just wish everyone would show their cards so i can make an informed decision.

Infinity studio has my money at the moment but they are based on the CGI series which slightly puts me off, but their sculpts, especially the faces really hit home with me with what i want from an SNK line.

Just waiting for HMO to show what they got.

I will probably wait for Prototypez because I love the classic anime/game style they are doing with SF and also I dont mind waitingbecause theres a lot on my plate. I liked Kinettiquettes Bogard till they showed his face- his mouth is bizarre, like its falling off. HMO might be an upset tho if they continue with those acrylic eyes. They would look so good next to Morrigan. But I do fear the shipping...

I'm not convinced the Prototypez stuff is actually ever coming out

I just don't like Sosas sculpting style at all, don't like his Marvel, his Street Fighter or anything, everything he does just looks really overly done and odd to me so i have no interest what so ever in him doing KOF/SNK stuff.

Same with Kinnetiquettes nothing looks right to me, every release just looks odd. Doing Terry in his Power geyser pose is an odd choice, yes the moves iconic but it doesn't work as a statue, hes crouched down completely obscured by the effect part and without the effect part it just looks bad.......Buster Wolf would have been a much better choice and make much more sense as a statue and would look great against other statues...

HMO i imagine will do a beautiful Mai but beyond that i don't know....

So nothing set in stone for me yet....this license is my baby so i'll be even more critical/picky with these lol
