MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS: THE KOTOBUKIYA COLLECTION
X-MEN CLASSIC CHAPTER: WOLVERINE YELLOW COSTUME FINE ART BUST
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Wolverine is back! Following after the Fine Art Bust release of the popular X-Man in his classic brown & tan attire comes WOLVERINE: YELLOW COSTUME! This bust is an entirely new sculpture, pose, and design! Logan was born with a powerful healing factor and later gained indestructible adamantium claws and skeleton. Wolverine has appeared in countless comic books, cartoons, and blockbuster films.
The Fine Art Busts of the X-Men Classic Chapter represent the mutant heroes in their iconic incarnations. Wolverine leaps forward, wearing his flashier yellow and blue ?team colors? costume accented with red belt, black tiger stripes, and pointed cowl. The X-Man stands ready for battle, leaning forward with a snarl twisting his face and the claws on both hands extended. Those claws, fully 2 1/3 inches long, are made of real metal!
Sculpted by master artist Takeshi Kimura, Wolverine stands approximately 9 inches tall atop his Marvel X-Men Classic Chapter series base, complete with a relief sculpture of Logan?s face. Each Fine Art Bust is constructed of cold cast porcelain and bears a unique serial number on a special metal plate.

Wolverine is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974) and was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita Sr., who designed the character, and was first drawn for publication by Herb Trimpe.
Wolverine later joined the X-Men's "All New, All Different" roster in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). In May 2008, Wolverine was ranked # 1 out of "Wizard Magazine's Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time". X-Men writer Chris Claremont played a significant role in the character's subsequent development as well as artist/writer John Byrne, who insisted on making the character older than the other XMen.
Frank Miller also helped to revise the character in the early 1980s with the eponymous limited series in which Wolverine's catch phrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice", was first written. |
