That is beautifully done. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Ive read she is going to debut at Wonder Festival 2021 in Shanghai around mid June.
I think the China edition size is 499 and is selling out. Not sure what is the oversea edition size or even if there is one edition size reserved to be sold for oversea.

Drakul let me know if you come up with a simple solution to her skirt that won't take off any paint and won't prevent it from being removed down the road.

Yomi Studios

Came with left foot broken off at the ankle. Clean break and fixed with a brass rod and super glue gel. One heart fell off an also fixed with super glue. Top and bottom just fitted in place. Hair, smoke wisps, ribbon on left hip and left butt cheek are held in my magnets. Surprising the right boot just sits on the base. Came with a small piece of blue tack. Also came with small empty plastic bottle which I have no idea what for. Overall not bad of a figure. May run the risk of paint rub if taking clothing on and off. When drilling for the pinning repair, the resin density and smell is a lot like the resin used for e2046 garage kits. Kit of reminds of e2046's prepainted kits.

The base feels like a denser resin, but they figure itself is a fairly light resin.

May be be Polyurethane. Lots of kits are polyurethane.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Like you I've contemplated gluing it, but I feel that is a last resort. I wonder if something as simple as a little bit of translucent tape would be enough? Thankfully it only affects the display of the statue from the sides. I wish they had just done her normally because the actual clothes look fantastic. The texturing on her outfit is incredible. In particular I kept feeling her socks because I couldn't believe they were sculpted.

Edit: I'm glad I finally got to check out one of the statues from one of the more popular makers of this market right now. I definitely wish they would sell non cast off versions that had the clothes sculpted on. I feel like it holds back a lot of these statues from an engineering perspective. I guess it is done so they can advertise the features, but I have to wonder how many people care. Their Tifa is already quite nice, but if the clothes were sculpted on (and the statue was otherwise exactly the same as it is), I think it would probably be the definitive Tifa figure on the market.
totally agree.

As far as Mai goes I don't like the face at all.

I had a feeling it was the same studio. It's too bad they aren't going to make a whole band of girls
