We are proud to announce an all-new series of Fine Art Statues from the Marvel Comics Presents Kotobukiya Collection, the X-Men Danger Room Sessions!

Ever since the early days of Marvel Comics’ mutant adventures, “X” teams have trained together in the ultra high tech facility known as the Danger Room.  Part of Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters (or “X-Mansion”), the subterranean Danger Room is equipped with state of the art adaptive combat and athletics routines that challenge each participant in unique ways.  The training facility has been featured prominently in X-Men comics over the years, as well as in various cartoons and the third X-Men film.  First up in this new series is the most popular mutant of them all: Wolverine!

Kotobukiya’s Danger Room Sessions Wolverine is announced by Marvel.com below:

At Anaheim Comic-Con,  Kotobukiya’s Collection of X-men Danger Room Session – Wolverine Fine Art Statue will show its first look!   Today GeekChicDaily has just post its story. http://www.geekchicdaily.com/story/wolverine-statue
“While this nine-inch-tall statue—based on the ultra-dynamic art of Jim Lee, and sculpted by master craftsman Erick Sosa—is in itself a bona fide work of art, the piece also boasts some pretty nifty bells and whistles. Among them is a unique Danger Room holographic environment with translucent parts that glow, a built-in LED light in the base and two interchangeable heads (one with Wolvie’s uniform cowl on and one where that trademarked hairstyle is flying free).”

SRP $174.99   Release Date: Oct, 2010

Posed as though daring an enemy to make the first move, Wolverine turns to the side with his right arm raised up and the left pointed down.  His claws, 2 1/3 inches long and made of real metal, are extended on both hands.  As part of The Kotobukiya Collection of Fine Art Busts, Wolverine stands 9 inches tall, and is constructed of cold cast porcelain.   Logan is sculpted by master artist Junnosuke Abe and rests atop a specialized base decorated by a relief sculpture of Logan’s civilian face.

Limited to only 500 pieces and only available at Kotobukiya’s booth #2601, this bust’s base features an individually serial numbered metal plate.   To try to ensure that fans attending on different days of the convention will all have an opportunity to obtain this incredible sculpture, each day’s sales will be limited as follows:
300pcs for Wednesday, July 22nd (preview night)
150pcs for Thursday, July 23rd
50pcs for Friday July 24th.
Purchases will be limited to only 2 busts per person, and is priced at only $80.  With Wolverine’s popularity, striking costume design, and low edition size, this bust is sure to be a highly sought after collectible.

Wolverine continues the tradition of the X-Men Classic Chapter, wearing his brown and yellow costume from the 1980s, complete with reddish-orange belt and pointed cowl. The mutant brawler springs into attack with his left arm slashing upwards and his right poised for the next blow, while his face is frozen in an angry grimace. As an added bonus, Wolverine’s wicked 2 1/3 inch long claws are real metal!

The feral mutant hero, sculpted by Takeshi Kimura, stands 9 inches tall above a specialized base with a relief sculpture of Logan’s civilian face on the front. Each Fine Art Bust is individually serial-numbered on its base and is constructed of cold cast porcelain.
