Yes, You Too Can Own A $1,000 Mai Shiranui 1/6 Scale Statue

Well either someone desperate or a really rich board person will buy it.

No thanks, even if I got it for free.

Is this supposed to be a "sexy pose"?

Just looks like she's giving herself back problems. I guess those are the struggles of being a game character in the real world

I see the first image was tastefully cropped 🙄

It's not for good boys and girls.

I know 13 year old me wouldn't have minded spending an hour alone with this but I can't imagine having one on display in my home, how does one show off such a display without any shame?

@SpaceboyScreams

Shame. Such a ridiculously puritanical notion.

"A cheaper way of enjoying Mai's winning personality is to purchase one of the many games she stars in on Switch, such as... SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy. But you can't put those on a shelf, can you?"

my physical copy of Tag Team Heroines would like a word.

At least its not a bust bust

I just... I know there's an audience for this kinda thing, but... I dunno, one could have multiple dinner dates with real life women for the amount of money that statue costs.

@CharlieGirl But those usually complain a lot when you put them on a shelf

Ohhh Mai....

That's a lot of dough for such a niche character.

Too expensive. Even the $175 figures are too expensive now. Used to be $70-80, and that was OK. But now they're just raping and pillaging the consumer.

I got these two the other day- Lynn from Fire Emblem GBA, and Palamute + Cohoot from Monster Hunter Rise. And even these were too expensive.

Honestly more interested in the display stand than the figurine its displaying. I'm all about that Mucha-esque off-centered circular framing in the background.

I'm a big fan of Mai. But not that big. I can think of many, many things I'd rather do with $1000.

Looks cool, but way too expensive.

I'll stick to the noodle stopper Mai figure I already got (I think it was 20-30$).

No because my shelf is a shelf for good boys and girls of all ages

@RupeeClock have a bad experience with them? I've ordered a few things from them and had no problems.

For that amount I'd rather equip my room and maybe get some new appliances for the house.

If your into pixels just watch porn.

@JaxonH Big FE GBA fan - that Lyn looks great

@Kimyonaakuma I thought it was supposed to look like her getting ready to fight pose. But I do not keep up with the game. I think it's a pretty cool statue. I've seen some of the one's from One Piece done in a similar style.

Looks pretty good but that is way too much money I'd ever spend on something like this.

Hm. Interesting, but I'd rather get some of the Amiibos I've wanted to get for a while, mainly the Archer and the Rider BOTW Link and the Monster Hunter ones.

@PessitheMystic
It does. Wish they made an Eliwood, Hector and Lynn statue with all 3 of them standing together.

Ike and Marth are also getting their own figure releasing soon.

I wish they gave Mai a stronger fighting stance. Standing with both her knees collapsed inwards annoys me

@JaxonH Ike and Marth make sense yeah, thanks to Smash Bros fame helping boost their popularity. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Chrom one too. Sothe and Micaiah would make a good pairing as well actually.
I'd love some more FE merch but these are a bit out of my price range unfortunately

@PessitheMystic
They're so expensive now. Prices got jacked up about 2 years ago when Pyra and Mythra released. Probably figured they could double their profits and still retain 90% of their customer base.

@Doofenshmirtz Why thank you, all thanks to your too-kool-for-skoolinator.

@NorrinRadd You touch yourself in public or something? We all have lines.

So, she's a dual wielder. Very potent indeed.

@Losermagnet not them (pretty sure they were making a joke), but they do jack up prices to an egregious extent on a lot compared to contemporaries (okiniland, ninningame, etc. but those have their own issues)

I'm sure someone is getting this for Masahiro Sakurai for Christmas.

@Losermagnet pretty sure it's because the name of the store sounds like they sell different kind of 'toys'.

I have always wonder, who buys this things, then again, I have a large collection of transformers toys from when I was a kid so...

I’ll give you two reasons why she’s so popular…

Just save yourself a lot of money and buy a prize figure instead, plenty on the market if you want to look at some plastic breasts at a very affordable price

@SpaceboyScreams You put it on the the self you want to put it on. You don't need to feel ashamed to do it. $1k USD is too much for a figure for me, but I do have ecchi figures and feel no shame from them.

For the nasty boys. (who have much more fun)

@SuperZeldaFun If its too ecchi for your livingroom you could put it on a ahelf in your bedroom

You could get a ps5 from eBay with that kind of cash monies

It looks nice but, uh, Its waaaaay top much cash for how it looks, I could get better looking ones for cheaper, maybe not Better, better, But better in opinion.

To each their own. People collect all sorts

I'm gonna keep that one off my shelf. Feel free to get it for yourselves though

@JaxonH Just asking but were did you get the first one? I can't remember her name sadly.

@Snatcher
Lynn from Fire Emblem on GBA. Sold at Amazon Japan and Amiami.

She was the main character alongside Hector and Eliwood.

@JaxonH Thanks, Might get one for myself. (TBH if she was to get in a smash game later on I don't see many people being made as she could work a lot differently)

Over $1000 for a 1/6 scale? The highest I'd go $500 or $600

@SpaceboyScreams It's super easy when you give no ****s about what other people think.

@BloodNinja Haha yeah the inward knee thing is totally real. I lived in Japan for years and realized why the women's legs grow that way: from riding bikes around thier whole lives with thier school uniform mini skirts on. They have to bring thier knees in of course as they ride so they don't give the world a show and thats literally why many if thier legs are that way naturally.

@SuperCharr You should see the Yui Hirasawa tattoo I have that takes up half my arm or the 34 car decals I have plastered all over my car of young anime girls. Don't be a 2D girl shamer! Lol

@UltimateOtaku91 I've seen tons of Megumin figures. There's a Beatrice figure I want but I think it was over $500

Honestly, the presence of the anatomically laughable woman ruins the otherwise gorgeous set piece of the statue.

@RupeeClock bigbadtoystore isn’t naughty at all I swear 😭 I buy my Star Wars black series figures there.

Who doesn't love some tig ol' bitties? Far, far too expensive for what it is, I'd rather have the Hunter from Bloodborne, that statue looks sick.
