MARVEL COMICS ROGUE BISHOUJO STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! From the pages of the X-Men comes the powerful and gorgeous mutant ROGUE, the first in an exciting new series of Marvel Comics superheroines presented in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style. This original design has been specially created by the incomparable illustrator Shunya Yamashita! Fans should be familiar with Yamashita-sensei?s style as Japan?s leading Bishoujo artist, from his art books, video game work, as well as multiple figural collaborations with Kotobukiya.

The sexy Rogue is dressed in her iconic green and yellow skin-tight X-Men costume, which highlights her voluptuous curves ? as well as keeping her covered to avoid absorbing the powers and memories of others who come into contact with her skin. She stands atop a stylish, minimalist white base, one leg perched seductively to accent her shapely leg. The mutant?s long hair floats behind her as she raises one hand to her beautiful Bishoujo-styled face.

Masterfully sculpted by Koei Matsumoto, Rogue stands 7 3/5 inches tall (1/8 scale). Sold in an attractive window box and constructed of high-quality pvc and abs plastics, the mutant is just the first in this amazing new line. Watch for more Bishoujo Statues from the women of the Marvel Universe to come!

NOVA FINE ART STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Richard Rider was an average teen, until inducted as a centurion in an intergalactic police force called the Nova Corps. Imbued with a vast array of superpowers and a uniform, NOVA became a superhero dedicated to the defense of Earth.

Nova?s dynamic pose captures the mighty superhero blasting off, with his left arm raised above him toward the heavens. His signature dark blue and gold StarCorps armor is meticulously reproduced from the comic books by sculptor Junnosuke Abe, and features the enhancements used in battle against Annihilus in the massively popular Annihilation series. The hero?s feet are hidden within the fire blast at the top of his base, but the statue is removable so you can enjoy his flying pose without the base. Nova?s face is determined and focused, highlighted by the all-blue eyes within the gold helmet. Both the eyes and the three energy regulators on his chest are treated with special glow in the dark paint, while a powerful LED light in the base recreates Nova?s explosive energy effect!

Nova, like the other Fine Art Statues in the Kotobukiya Collection, is a limited, numbered edition constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain. The flying superhero stretches over 15 inches high, from his intricate blast-off base to his upraised fist.
