King of Fighters is one of my all time favorite games, and one of the main characters, Shiranui Mai, always struck me as Chun-li done right; she's just as strong and balanced as Chun-li, but thankfully she has a beautiful body and a set of legs that don't look like they're made of two pieces of mutton chops taped together. I don't know why, but it's really hard to find a figure of Mai that doesn't look like crap, but finally I think Alphamax have nailed it.

Alphamax will release this gorgeously sculpted Mai in March of 2009. Mai is being released as part of some promotional towards the latest King of Fighters game, entitled King of Fighters: Maximum Impact Regulation A god the names for these games keep getting dumber and dumber. The figure will retail for a whopping $170, but if you ask me it is definitely worth the price. I want this figure more than anything else. I would kill my own first born for this figure...probably.

Those of you who have the green to throw down for this baby can place a preorder now over at KidNemo. Hit the gallery for more gorgeous photos, and make sure you have a few spare tissues nearby. You know, just in case.
