Kotobukiya previews their upcoming Dead or Alive Kasumi statue

This one is based off of the artwork of Ashito Ooyari, and I gotta say, I don’t think it works that great for a Kasumi statue. If you’ve played Dead or Alive (or seen other statues), they work better with a more traditional anime statue look. However, if you’re a fan of the artist, this release from Kotobukiya might be up your alley.

Kotobukiya getting a little risque with their Dead or Alive Kasumi Queen’s Blade statue

Kotobukiya has been known to release figures with removable clothing before, but as far as I know, not on their licences that are well known to western audiences. This Kasumi, from the Dead or Alive franchise, seems to be based off of an illustration in a Queen’s Blade book. I took a quick look at these while writing this, and it seems to be a pseudo RPG based around female characters in sexual situations. Oh Japan, what will you come up with next!

Anyways, this statue lets you cast off her clothing and leave her in a bra and panties, so I’ll save those shots for under the cut. It’s a Tecmo online shop/Hobby Japan exclusive coming in around $70, good luck getting her. If you ask me, she looks a little awkward in her more revealing form, but whatever.

No clue how many more they’re working on but below the cut you can see the first one they’ll be releasing. The Kotobukiya Dead or Alive Kasumi at the beach statue.
