Yumi Mai Shiranui Figure: Warrior Maidens Release

Mai Shiranui has been in print since 1992.

The Yumi Mai Shiranui release is part of the Warrior Maidens collection, a resin statue in the 26 to 35 cm bracket with a replaceable body included.

Pre-orders run at $89 for the deposit and $269 for full payment, and the listing carries an 18+ classification.

Who Is Mai Shiranui?

Mai is the kunoichi of The King of Fighters, and one of the few fighting game characters who became more famous than the game she debuted in.

She is written as confident and theatrical, and her design carries that: the red outfit, the fan, the ponytail and the movement that reads as dance rather than combat.

Three decades of releases have not worn the design out. If anything, the character has more versions in circulation now than at any point in her history.

Why Mai Still Sells

Design longevity is rare, and Mai has it because the silhouette is unambiguous from any angle.

For a sculptor, that means the pose can change without losing the character. For a collector, it means the release has to offer something the previous ones did not.

Yumi’s answer is the replaceable body and the Warrior Maidens framing, which puts the piece in a specific collection rather than the general Mai catalogue.

Reading the Mai Shiranui Sculpt

Start with the face. Mai’s expression is confident rather than neutral, and a soft portrait loses the character.

Then check the costume edges. The outfit relies on clean colour blocks, so any bleeding shows immediately.

Finally, look at the body swap. Replaceable components add value, but they also create seams, and those seams should not be visible in the gallery shots.

Scale and Display

The statue falls in the 26 to 35 cm range, which keeps it on a shelf or a low cabinet.

Check the width rather than the height, since a posed figure with a fan extends sideways.

Light the piece from the front and keep it out of direct sun, as reds fade first under strong light.

Swapping the Body

A replaceable body is the main extra on this release, and it changes how the piece is handled.

Swap it on a soft cloth, keep the spare parts in the original packaging, and avoid repeated assembly, which wears the connection points.

Check the seams once the body is seated. On a resin piece, those joins should be invisible from the display angle.

Dust with a soft brush and keep the statue out of direct sun so the red sections hold their colour.

Deposit or Full Payment

The deposit is $89 and full payment is $269, which puts the entry point near a third of the total.

Both routes are open, and freight is quoted separately once packing is confirmed.

Who This Yumi Mai Shiranui Release Suits

King of Fighters collectors who already own the standard Mai figures will find the body swap the reason to add this one.

It also suits anyone building a fighting game shelf, and buyers who want an adult-oriented version without a 1/4 footprint.
