What's Your Obsession

Not too much unexpected news on the Kotobukiya front but solid efforts all around. They previewed their Danger Room Rogue statue (not complete, the face will be getting reworked), X-Force Wolverine, Psylocke, Doctor Doom, White Queen Bishoujo, and regular Wolverine. Lots of stuff we’d seen in preview form or not at all! Oh, and the [...]

Here’s a review of the second in Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo line of statues, Rogue. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

In an amazingly well thought out strategy, Kotobukiya is releasing their white Phoenix bishoujo SDCC exclusive statue up for preorder on June 11th, rather than forcing their customers to sit through absurd lines at raffles at the convention itself. They’ve announced it’s limited to 500, so I’m sure it won’t last long. It’ll be available [...]

Based on the Phoenix design from the Endsong series, as I recall. No clue on edition size or anything, but it looks like a nice edition to the line. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

Seems that Kotobukiya’s first concept art image (the one of her on the chair) wasn’t approved by Marvel and they came up with a different design. Fits better with the line, but the chair concept was interesting and I wanted to see how it would’ve looked. Ah well, maybe with another character. Digg Stumble Upon [...]

Kotobukiya started getting more heavily into Marvel with both a male line, and this, their female line, called Bishoujo. The first release was Black Widow. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

Quite possibly the best Bishoujo statues yet. While I prefer the regular Phoenix, they’ve done some very interesting paint work on the Dark Phoenix, despite it not being mirrored, I’m quite tempted to buy it regardless. Images under the cut. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

Not only did they show this off, but they apparently announced that Shunya wouldn’t be the only artist on the DC line. I’m REALLY curious to see who else they’ll have designing statues for it. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

This is pretty exciting news, considering how much ass Kotobukiya has been kicking this year. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

One of my favourite lines going right now, the small and affordable Kotobukiya Bishoujo line just showed off their upcoming Phoenix/Dark Phoenix products as well as some concept art for Emma. Phoenix/Dark Phoenix are looking great so far, though I wish their poses were reversed to each other instead of being the same. Emma has [...]
