MARVEL COMICS BLACK WIDOW BISHOUJO STATUE
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Continuing the series of Marvel Comics superheroines presented in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style is BLACK WIDOW, the beautiful Russian super-spy and member of the Mighty Avengers. 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.
Deadly and dangerous, Black Widow wears a skin-tight bodysuit that leaves little to the imagination. The shiny black outfit accentuates every curve and the long lines of her legs, which end with stiletto heeled boots. Hugging Natasha Romanoff?s waist is a stylish belt adorned with her red hourglass symbol, and on her arms are golden wristbands. As the sexy spy whips around to look behind her with a pistol at the ready, her intricately carved hair floats in the air behind her. Black Widow stands provocatively atop a specially-designed base.
Black Widow stands 7 3/5 inches tall (1/8 scale), and features a solid construction of pvc and abs plastics. Sculpted by Yu Ishii, the super-spy comes packaged in an attention-grabbing window box.

FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER
MR. FANTASTIC FINE ART BUST
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER Fine Art Bust series continues with MR. FANTASTIC, leader of the superhero team the Fantastic Four. At 9 ? inches tall the brilliant scientist is in scale (1/6) with the rest of the amazing busts in the Kotobukiya Collection.
Reed Richards embarked on an experimental space mission with his family and friends, when a freak radiation storm hit the space station, mutating the members of his team. Using their new-found powers for good, they became the heroic Fantastic Four. With the ability to manipulate his body by stretching, bending, and expanding, Richards became Mr. Fantastic, their reluctant leader. Even after all of that, nothing could prepare him for the twin challenges of facing Galactus and getting married in the film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer!
To recreate Mr. Fantastic?s stretching ability, sculptor Hajime Kimura created two bodies for the superhero, one normal and one twisted and elongated ? interchange them to customize your display! Whether stretching or not, Mr. Fantastic is all business in his Fantastic Four uniform, holding a pocket computer in his right hand and a beaker in his left. The unstable elements in the container even change color depending on the temperature ? a little rubbing should do the trick! Mr. Fantastic?s base features a deluxe marquee replica with the FF2 film logo that actually lights up and has an individual serial number on a special metal plate.
