Premium Korean statue maker JND Studios is expanding its Platinum Hyper Real Statue line with a new release based on the classic fighting game "The King of Fighters '98." The Mai Shiranui 1/3 scale limited-edition collectible statue is priced at 4,450,000 won, limited to 299 pieces worldwide, and scheduled to ship in Q3 2028.
Mai Shiranui, one of the most popular female fighters in SNK's "The King of Fighters" series, made her debut in 1992's "Fatal Fury 2." A modern-day kunoichi who inherited the art of Shiranui-style ninjutsu, Mai entered the fight while pursuing Andy Bogard, who trained under her grandfather. Her voluptuous figure and unforgettable design have made her one of fighting games' most iconic heroines, rivaling even Chun-Li from "Street Fighter."
Measuring 59 cm tall, 38 cm wide, and 38 cm deep, this 1/3 scale Mai Shiranui statue weighs approximately 12.15 kg. JND Studios carefully studied every element of the character fans know and love, approaching the project with one question: What would Mai Shiranui look like if she existed in the real world? The hyper-realistic sculpt captures her curvaceous physique and delicate facial features, while silicone is used across her arms, chest, thighs, and the rest of her body to recreate the look and texture of real skin. Glass eyes and individually hand-rooted hair complete the remarkably lifelike portrait.
Mai's signature red kunoichi outfit is recreated with tailored fabric, while her footwear, folding fan, beads, and display base are made from resin. Inspired by a stage from the game, the base features realistically sculpted stonework and a traditional Japanese stone lantern. Scattered cherry blossom petals add the finishing touch, perfectly complementing Mai's glamorous presence.
