Samurai Shodown 1/8 Majikina Mina PVC

Remember the game Samurai Shodown (SS)? SS 2? SS 3? 4? 5? 6? Lol. Well, I played the first two like mad back in 94-95, I think, I can't remember that well. I was getting bored of all the Street Fighter, and Haohmaru and the gang were the next big thing in fighting games. Or so it would have seemed. Alas, the SNK Neo-Geo bit the dust and I really haven't played any of these games since then...no, not even the remakes. A few SS 5: Samurai Spirits figures have been or are soon to be released this year. This latest one from Toys Planning is really nice though. It features Majikina Mina from Samurai Shodown 5. Just a little info. Mina's a character in the SS game obviously. She's a human girl with really great powers or something. Her powers became so great people called her a goddess.

It gets really cold sometimes. ^^

The figure has Mina kneeling down and holding her signature bow and looking really sweet and all. Oh, and she's got her little Champuru next to her too. Whom she killed later on, but let's not get into that. I don't know, I guess I just like the way she's holding her bow, the 'soft' look she has about her, and her sexaay 'skirt' thingy. Some older resins had her looking all tough and toned like Chun-Li, but I like this better. It's a pity the fringe of her hair had to be in those square clumps though. If you get nostalgic thinking of the game, then pick this up when it comes out in August. ^^
