Update: April 11, 2007
The
cries of a thousand toy collectors have apparently
been heard and Max Factory has announced a second
production of the upcoming Kinu Nishimura 1/6
scale Mai Shiranui figure which ships in
November 2007. Please note that the first production
will ship on August 31, 2007 so the second batch
will arrive three months later.
According to our toy suppliers, we should be able to fill all of
our preorders received in the past few days so
everyone who has submitted a reservation already
should be guaranteed a figure from the second
batch. Since we're still four months away from the
production of the first batch, anything can change
in that interim and Max Factory may be able to push
some production up so that additional supplies are
available in August instead of November. We'll
update accordingly once we receive news.
With today's update from Max Factory, NCS can accept new orders for the Mai Shiranui figure
to ship from the November production.

Product Synopsis
«©NCS»
Max Factory has begun accepting preorders for a new
Kinu Nishimura sculpt which features the
irrepressible Mai Shiranui of KOF fame. The version
of Mai featured in the toy is the Capcom vs SNK 2
version with fair hair and doe-like eyes. The
preorder solicitation from our primary toy suppliers
specifically mentions that the figure will be a very
limited production item and they're not
guaranteeing our preorders.
We've submitted our case quantities last night but we're not sure
if we'll get them all. Due to the limited nature of
the item, please be aware that we cannot guarantee
customer preorders for this item. We'll do our best
however to eke out a few cases and wire deposits in
advance to bolster our cause because Mai is worth
the extra effort.
Pricing is set at US$85 and preorders are welcome but not
guaranteed. Why does Max Factory hate their fan
base?
