Kotobukiya Hit the Target with Their Hawkeye Classic Avengers Fine Art Statue

Toy Fair 2012: Kotobukiya's Marvelous Marvel Statues

Clint Barton, the former criminal-turned-Avenger known as Hawkeye, has been seeing a meteoric rise in popularity thanks, in no small part, to his role in Marvel Studio's "The Avengers" film. Well, now you can hipster-ishly show your friends that you've loved Hawkeye since before it was cool with the new Hawkeye Classic Avengers Fine Art Statue from Kotobukiya! Hawkeye is the fourth statue to be revealed from the Classic Avengers line, and if he looks to be made of the same incredible quality as the Captain America we reviewed previously. Still, as nice as this statue looks, our favorite part is the Ultron head on his base that has been skewered through the eye by on of Barton's arrows.

Toy Fair 2012: Kotobukiya's Marvelous Marvel Statues

By this point, our excitement for "The Avengers" film is almost tangible. We'd like to think that if it could take physical shape, that it'd look a lot like the Captain America statue from Kotobukiya's Fine Art Classic Avengers line! Sure, this design comes from the Marvel Comics and not the more armored look of the movie-world, but this is how we prefer our Captain-- exposed ears and scale-plated shoulders! Join us as we take a closer look at this statue to see if it is indeed ready to lead our other collectibles into battle.

Kotobukiya Captures Harley Quinn for Their Bishoujo Line

Posted 4/30/12 11:19 am EST by in Kotobukiya, News, Toys


Toy Fair 2012: Kotobukiya's New DC Statues

Harley Quinn has been a fan-favorite villain ever since her debut on "Batman: The Animated Series" all those years ago. It's almost hard to believe that she hasn't been a part of the DC Comics' Universe for longer and she manages to fit in perfectly thanks to her close ties to Poison Ivy and the love of her life: The Joker! Now, Kotobukiya has taken the time to immortalize her in their Bishoujo line of female heroes and villains. We saw art samples of this piece at Toy Fair 2012, and these new production photos only add to the excitement of adding Harley to our Bat-shelf when she's released (for good behavior) in September.

Read on for Harley's wrap sheet and more mug shots of Joker's lethal lady!

 

DC COMICS HARLEY QUINN BISHOUJO STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!  Coming up next in the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s super heroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) is the fan favorite wacky psychologist turned harlequin super villain, HARLEY QUINN! First appearing in Batman: the Animated Series and then the pages of DC Comics, Harleen Quinzel was originally a brilliant doctor working with patients at Arkham Asylum before she was seduced by the “clown prince of crime” and became the Joker’s girlfriend and assistant. Her villainous ways have brought her into conflict with Batman many times over the years, and she’s found a good friend in the similarly deranged Poison Ivy. Because of her mental instability and affinity for hilarity, Quinn frequently employs comically oversized weapons like her favorite giant hammer. Based on an original illustration by Japan’s renowned Shunya Yamashita, Harley appears here for the first time in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style! Read More...

'The Dark Knight Returns' to Your Shelf Thanks to Kotobukiya

Posted 4/5/12 11:30 am EST by in Kotobukiya, News, Toys


Toy Fair 2012: Kotobukiya's New DC Statues

Kotobukiya has quickly become our go-to company when it comes to statues based on our favorite pop culture characters. While primarily known for their Star Wars, Bishoujo, and Marvel lines, Kotobukiya is reminding everyone that they've got the DC Comics license as well with the release of this statue from the classic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns"! We first saw design images of this at Toy Fair 2012, and we're stunned by just how nice the finished product has turned out. For those of you that might not be familiar with Batman: DKR, there are two things you need to know:

1. Frank Miller's Batman story set the tone, for good or ill, that caused Batman and other comics in general to take on a grim n' gritty feel.

2. If you really don't know about this comic or it's significance, you have failed a core curriculum in your Geek Studies. For shame!

Read on for all the info and a gallery of photos featuring this eye-gougingly badass statue!

Bringing Back the Bat: Kotobukiya Batman ArtFX Statue

Posted 1/20/12 10:30 am EST by in Kotobukiya, News, Toys


Batman is undoubtedly a bad ass in full effect. This fact is even more evident every time Jim Lee has put pencil to paper (or stylus to screen) to draw the Dark Knight's adventures in DC Comic's Batman: Hush storyline. Kotobukiya released a version of the Batman Art FX statue previously in the familiar blue and gray costume, but now they've brought the World's Greatest Detective back in this extremely cool black and gray version of Batman. Read on for a ton of photos and all the details from our friends at Kotobukiya.

Posted 11/24/11 10:00 am EST by in Geek Gifts, Kotobukiya, Toys


The Avengers will soon be known to most of the populace by their looks in the upcoming film. While that's great and all, we like to remember them the way we first saw them in the Marvel Comics all those years ago. It just so happens that our friends at Kotobukiya are helping keep that nostalgia fresh in our minds thanks to their line of Classic Avengers Fine Art Statues! Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are the first to be released and look to continue Kotobukiya's trend of high-quality statues that have to power to make people weak in the knees upon looking at their unfettered glory.

Posted 11/18/11 11:18 am EST by in Kotobukiya, Previews, Toys


Did you take a look at that first photo?! Go ahead and take another peek. Let that pile of badassery soak in for a second and then ask yourself,"Why am I even reading these words and not scrolling through more photos of Kotobukiya's Archangel Fine Art Statue from their X-Force Series?" It's because you're insane. Obviously.

That's okay "Crazypants", cause Warren Worthington happens to be off his rocker as well. Hit the "more" tab to read all about Archangel's info straight from our friends at Kotobukiya. Don't worry-- there are lots of photos as well.

Posted 11/9/11 10:17 am EST by in Kotobukiya, News, Toys, Video Games


As many of you long-time readers will know, we've covered and reviewed Kotobukiya's Bishoujo line of statues quite fiercely. It could be due to their incredible sculpting, their anime-styling, or simply the fact that the entire line is made up of our favorite female characters in sexy poses. Whatever. Don't judge us! Anyway, after breaking from their comic-only designs with the Ghostbusters Bishoujo, our friends at Kotobukiya are releasing their next statue from the hit video game series Mass Effect: Liara T'Soni!

Posted 10/28/11 9:30 am EST by in Kotobukiya, Star Wars, Toys


Darth Maul is Kotobukiya's latest statue

At New York Comic Con, it was reported that Darth Maul would be making a return from the dead in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Fitting that Kotobukiya should announce a kick-ass statue commemorating the tattooed Sith Lord and his double-bladed weaponry. As you'll recall, Kotobukiya have already released a shirtless version of Maul--well, sorry to disappoint but this one is fully clothed. Below are all the details straight from Kotobukiya, along with a load of photos.

Warpath Returns to X-Force with Kotobukiya's Latest Statue

Posted 10/5/11 2:00 pm EST by in Kotobukiya, Reviews, Toys


X-Force has went through a few different incarnations throughout Marvel Comics' sordid history. From the days of being a collection of ponytails, shoulderpads, and belt pouches to more recent times of covert death and destruction; the members of X-Force have changed to reflect the times. However, one constant (besides the X-Statix days) has been the bruiser James Proudstar, known as Warpath! Today we're taking a look at the Warpath statue from Kotobukiya's recent X-Force Fine Art line.
