Tomopop Review: DC Comics Bishoujo Poison Ivy by Kotobukiya
2011/1/22
Tomopop.com has a detail review of DC Comics Bishoujo Poison Ivy by Kotobukiya. Poison Ivy Bishoujo is one of the most detailed statues in the DC Bishoujo lineup to date. Do not miss to check their site to see it by yourself.
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The last member of the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) was the heroic Supergirl, and coming right after her is the floral femme fatale POISON IVY! Born Pamela Lillian Isley, the woman who would one day haunt Batman and Gotham City was an up and coming botanist and biochemist. A crazy professor betrayed her and injected her with a mixture of poisons, unleashing in Poison Ivy the abilities to control plant life and create her own floral toxins. Working with a variety of evil partners Isley would embark on a life of crime, although occasionally serving as love interest for Bruce Wayne! Poison Ivy appears here for the first time in the Japanese bishoujo (pretty girl) style inspired by Japan’s renowned illustrator Shunya Yamashita!
One of the most detailed statues in the DC Bishoujo lineup to date, Poison Ivy struts her stuff in all of her verdant glory. The sexy eco-terrorist stands proudly among her growing vegetation, high-heeled legs spread apart and hands on her hips. Her notoriously skimpy outfit is recreated in a tiny one piece that shows off all of her beautiful curves. There are a lot of really cool sculpted details like the leafy fringe on her clothing, the tendrils wrapped around her arms like jewelry, and the flowers blooming in Poison Ivy’s hair. Naturally, green is her predominant color. Completing the villainous vixen’s look is her long flowing hair that seemingly has a life of its own, and like all the pretty ladies in her series Poison Ivy has a hauntingly attractive Bishoujo-styled face.

1/6th Scale ARTFX figure: Elvis Presley®’68 Comeback
2011/12/29
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya and Enterbay have teamed up in a once in a lifetime collaboration to bring you the one and only “King of Rock and Roll” in a special 1/6th scale ARTFX figure: Elvis Presley® ’68 Comeback Special! Born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935, Elvis Aaron Presley would become one of the biggest musical performers of all time with more than two dozen number one singles during his lifetime and appearances on television and in films. After a brief stint in the U.S. Army and a number of years spent in Hollywood, Elvis famously returned to his roots with a TV event that became known as the ’68 Comeback Special. Dressed in black leather and playing guitar alongside his singing, the King was on the top of the world!
Based on his appearance in the 1968 Comeback Special, Elvis’ looks and clothing have been painstakingly recreated in this highly detailed action figure; his outfit is even made from real cloth for the most realistic look possible! The iconic singer comes with a full range of historically accurate accessories including microphone and stand, guitar, speaker, and a display base designed to look like part of the stage. To go along with all of the accessories and his posing Elvis also comes with several interchangeable hands! But that’s not all. No mere statue, this King of Rock and Roll combines an incredibly lifelike sculpt, expert paint applications, and realistic clothing with over 25 points of articulation for a wide variety of display options!
Elvis Presley stands a stately 13 inches tall (1/6th scale) and comes to you from Chief Sculptor and Art Director Y.J. Park and Sculptor Scuderia. Each numbered piece in this limited release will come with a special commemorative hologram sticker, further solidifying this as a must-have for collectors of Elvis memorabilia as well as fans of state of the art 1/6th scale figures!
Available May 2012.

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s amazing line of Star Wars ARTFX Statues is back, bringing the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe to life in dynamic 1/7th scale statues. The line’s return is heralded by none other than the Dark Lord of the Sith himself in an all new presentation, DARTH VADER FINAL BATTLE! At the height of his power, Darth Vader wields his crimson lightsaber in mortal combat against anyone foolhardy enough to challenge the might of the Galactic Empire. His classic armored suit has every detail you’ve come to know and love since Return of the Jedi was first released 27 years ago. Intricate sculpting brings out the different parts of his chest piece and belt module, while Vader’s long cape flows around him in the heat of battle. Of course, the all-important iconic helmet and lightsaber were painstakingly recreated. With his knees bent and weapon extended in his right hand, Vader is ready for anything, even upstart Jedi Knights. Best of all, this amazing new version of the villain has multiple light up parts via LEDs in his chest, waist, and lightsaber!

Pre-order our Elektra Bishoujo statue now!
2011/8/15
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The popular Marvel Bishoujo collection (combining iconic superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) continues to bring you the amazing beauties of the Marvel Comics universe as you’ve never seen them before. Next up in this line is a woman whom a lot of collectors have been requesting, ELEKTRA! Born to a Greek family (with varying back stories), Elektra Natchios suffered the tragedy of watching the murder of her father. Turning to a life of martial arts, she became a skilled ninja with the Hand. Alternating between hero and villain Elektra has had a long history with the valiant Daredevil. Elektra appears for the first time in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on an original character reinterpretation by renowned illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
The ninja strikes! Elektra is stealthy agility personified, striding across rooftops and preparing her lethal strike. The agent of the Hand is frozen in mid-stride with a tremendous amount of movement captured in the flowing tendrils of her hair and whipping sashes. In her supple hands Elektra wields her iconic weapons, twin deadly sais; with one held up behind her head the assassin points the other at her target. Elektra’s daring ninja costume consists of resplendent metallic red fabric that really stands out from her pale skin tone and black hair. Like those who have come before her Elektra has a beautiful Bishoujo styled face.
