Unique Xenomorph Statues & Collectibles...

One of Kotobukiya’s most recent licenses is a personal favorite of ours here at Figures.com: the Alien franchise! On display at New York Toy Fair 2016 were three unique items (with a fourth newly announced). First up, we have to mention the unique Alien Big Chap Mini Figures, a line of blind boxed figs featuring the scary alien in all sorts of menacing as well as silly poses. These will come two to a package ($8.99 - April) and are perfect to decorate the Alien lover’s desk or computer.

Bishoujo, Batman v Superman, & More...

Kotobukiya has several great product lineups based on the characters from DC Comics, and we’ve got updates on all of them from New York Toy Fair 2016! First up, and which caught everyone’s attention walking by the booth, are the upcoming ARTFX+ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice statues. Sold separately, the Man of Steel and Armored Batman look great on their own or combined into one diorama scene. These figures will be strictly limited, with no reprints, so if you’re interested then get your pre-orders in now.

Thanos Dominates Toy Fair...

Japanese toy and statue giant Kotobukiya brought a very impressive display to New York Toy Fair 2016, and it included a section devoted to the heroes and villains of Marvel Comics. What immediately caught our eyes was the enormous Fine Art Statue of Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet! He’s beastly and huge, was sculpted by Erick Sosa, and will include two portraits: one grinning and the other baring his teeth. Also on display from the Fine Art Statue line was the upcoming Black Panther which looked awesome.

The Marvel Bishoujo line is going stronger than ever, and representing it in the display case were the two beauties Lady Deadpool (with cool alternate heads and parts) and a prototype of the recently announced Spider-Gwen which will be a fan favorite. A new reveal at the show was the full color artwork for the upcoming Thor and Loki!

A separate display case held two entire teams of Marvel ARTFX+ characters: the Avengers and the All-New X-Men! This was the first time we’ve seen a painted prototype of the finale figure of Wolverine, and there was also a production version of Beast. In that display were both color variants of Magneto, and while only the black-costumed Emma Frost made an appearance over at the Diamond Select Toys booth attendees could see the variant in white. Meanwhile, as Wolverine finishes the X-Men team Kotobukiya is looking ahead at the next ARTFX+ series which will focus on everyone's favorite web-slinger! Expect to see Spider-Man, Venom, and other related characters in a lineup based on artwork by Marvel's Stefano Caselli.

New Bishoujo Statues: Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn, More...

Ahead of the New York Toy Fair, Kotobukiya pulls back the curtain on numerous new Bishoujo Statues from their Marvel, DC and Horror collections. Fully revealed statues include Harley Quinn and Spider-Gwen. Concept art illustrations by Shunya Yamashita reveal new characters The Bride (Kill Bill), Edward Scissorhands, Chucky and Tiffany, Thor and Loki and Wonder Girl.

Stay tuned for more details on all these wonderful new Bishoujo Statues when our live Toy Fair coverage kicks off this Saturday!

Super Powers Line Adds The Emerald Warrior...

Last summer I brought you a sneak peek at the first figure in Kotobukiya’s new line of DC Comics ARTFX+ Statues that replicate the look and feel of the old Kenner Super Powers action figures. Superman is of course going to be high on everyone’s list when a new line comes about, and as the inaugural character he made a big impact with his bright colors, cloth cape, and fun “action feature” replica parts. However, there was one superhero coming up a little farther down the line that really got me excited. You see, I’ve been a huge fan of Green Lantern since I was a little kid, and I still to this day have my Super Powers GL figure (in pretty good condition, no less). Today I’ll be taking a look at the Koto Green Lantern Classic Costume 1/10 ARTFX+ Statue, currently available wherever you buy toys and statues.

From the Fantasy Adventure Online Card Battle Game...

The next Ani*Statue from Kotobukiya returns to the world of Rage of Bahamut, the fantasy adventure online card battle game from Cygames. Featuring unique designs and characters, the game has reached worldwide popularity and is perfect for inspiring statues. Up next after Dark Angel Olivia, Spinaria, and Little Queen Vania is Forte!

A detailed 3D representation of the popular character based on artwork from the online game, Forte replicates her appearance on her Legend card from the Demons Faction. The demonic girl stands ready to unleash destruction and take on any opponent in her ornate armor. Forte is posed with her feet spread wide for balance as she holds her massive lances out to either side. Her matching short black dress and armor are decorated with intricate gold designs, and the tatters of a red cloak swirl around her. Forte’s Skyrend Spears contrast beautifully, one black and the other white, both with gold details. The warrior woman’s unearthly origins are apparent in her large red eyes and the twin demon horns rising from her head while her long hair whips about behind her.

Forte stands over 9 ½ inches tall (1/8 scale) on a stylish display base. This demon warrior will be available July 2016 priced at $139.99.  

Based on DC Comics New 52 Design...

Man of Steel and Emerald Knight Kick Off New 52 Flagship Team...

Kotobukiya’s 1/7 ARTFX Statues have been a staple for years, with everything from comic book characters to Jedi and Sith, anime beauties and robots, and much more. Then a couple years ago the company unveiled an all new format, the smaller and more affordable (but no less detailed and impressive) 1/10 ARTFX+ Statue. It all started with Star Wars The Clone Wars, but after spreading to the Star Wars films the ARTFX+ trend has now reached DC Comics! And what better introduction than the initial Justice League members of the New 52?

Joker's Number One Gal Strikes A Pose...

Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo Statue line has been a huge hit with comic book fans, and for good reason. We all love statues of pretty ladies, but there’s only so many you can collect before they all start looking the same. Koto, however, takes the traditional female superheroes and villains of the DC Comics universe and reinvents them in the unique Japanese Bishoujo (“pretty girl”) style as imagined by famed illustrator Shunya Yamashita. The ever-growing collection has brought such heavenly bodies as Supergirl, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and more. Today we’ll take a look at the next member of this elite club due out next month, the popular and irascible Harley Quinn!

Recreate the Epic Superhero Showdown...

Kotobukiya presents their newest ARTFX+ statues based on the epic superhero showdown, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Combine the two ARTFX+ statues together at the base to replicate the epic battle everyone has been waiting for! The ARTFX+ Batman and Superman are sold separately so that they can also be displayed by themselves. As the Man of Steel swings his punches at Batman, Gotham's vigilante guards himself with one arm, with his fist pulled back ready to strike at Superman. The 1/10 scale ARTFX+ Batman V Superman statues include all the intricate details at an easier to collect size.

New ARTFX+ Figure Features 8 Unique Poses...

Kotobukiya has always allowed collectors to slightly alter the appearance of their ARTFX+ figures with the addition of interchangeable arms. With their new Star Wars: The Force Awakens KYLO REN ARTFX+ figure, the custom display options are quite numerous. Display Kylo Ren with his hood up or down in 8 unique poses with the included action parts.

Kotobukiya Final Three DC Comics Justice League ARTFX+ Statues

Throughout this year Kotobukiya has been releasing the initial members of DC Comics’ New 52 Justice League, the powerful “Big 7” of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. While the Japanese toy and statue company is perhaps best known for its ARTFX series of 1/6 figures, these new superheroes are captured in the new 1/10 ARTFX+ scale bringing them to you in a smaller package (and for less money) but still packed with great sculpts and decos. The Justice League series is now complete with the final three members we’ll be taking a look at today: Batman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg! Like the rest of the team these three are based on the Justice League redesign by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, specifically recreating Lee’s iconic image of the team but with an added Koto flair.
