The Mei Nendoroid comes complete with two different face plates as well as various effects for her abilities to re-create iconic poses from game. Mei's Endothermic Blaster comes with attachable effect parts to display her firing a stream of frost to freeze her enemies. Snowball, the drone stored on the cylinder on Mei's back, can be detached and displayed on its own stand, along with a circular effect sheet to show Mei activating her "Blizzard" ultimate ability. The Nendoroid is fully articulated, and has been carefully sculpted and tuned to ensure that the joints do not stand out, keeping Mei's unique appearance intact. Be sure to add this a-Mei-zing Nendoroid to your collection!
