SNK and Volks join forces to present an almost-clothed Mai Shiranui

I'm not sure what it says about Mai Shiranui when the most tasteful rendition of her ever produced is still pretty much naked, but Volks (wow, really?) has done a nice job of giving the queen of KOF quite a bit more dignity this time around with their QG Version PVC.

Personally, I find this to be the prettiest Mai Shiranui figure I've ever seen, as the kimono and hair give us a look at her character in a whole new light. Nothing beats lots of fabric in my book, and the floral print we see here is nothing short of gorgeous. She's still got boobs for days, but somehow that kimono takes her out of her typical role as a fanservice provider and moves her more into the realm of an elegant beauty.

Something this stunning coming from Volks? What is this world coming to? Mai should become available for pre-order around November 25th. We'll let you know the details as soon as we have them.
