Hobby Japan "THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV - Mai Shiranui -"!! I compared the fake and real popular character figures from the KOF series!

This time we will compare ”Mai Shiranui", a popular character in the KOF series. As many as 50 characters have appeared in KOF XlV, which is the largest in the series.

I would like to compare the fake and the real of that "THE KING OF FIGHTERS XlV specs. - Mai Shiranui -".

This KOF XlV Mai Shiranui is a Limited Edition figure released by Hobby Japan.

February & March 2018 issue of Monthly Hobby Japan Magazine. This is a Limited Edition product that can be pre-ordered at magazine mail order items, Hobby Japan Online Shop, Post Hobby Atsugi Store, and SNK Online Shop.

Here, I prepared a fake and a real one, but the one on the left is the fake and
the one on the right is the real one. At first glance, the package specifications
are clearly different.

"THE KING OF FIGHTERS" is the name of a series of fighting games released in 1994 by SNK (former company) for the Neo Geo video game console. It's a fighting game with a lot of passionate fans! I miss the Neo Geo and all that! At that time, it became a hot topic because the fighting game that was found in the candy store that became a home video game console that you could play at home.

This is part of SNK's THE KING OF FIGHTERS video game series, and it's interesting to look at the history of SNK (old company) and current SNK (new company), as well as the history of Neo Geo.

I'd like to talk about the history of "Neo Geo" in another video at some point.

This time, this KOF XlV will be a PlayStation 4 game.

It may be difficult to judge at a glance, but you can see the difference by
comparing them.

↑ On the back of the real package, the Hobby Japan logo and the copyright sticker are firmly attached.

↑ It is not attached to the fake at all.

If you look at the detailed modeling, it's obvious that it's not well made. It is
often the case that these seemingly invisible parts are quite messy.
