Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In collaboration with Marvel comics the popular character has been redesigned, or shall we say re-mixed with Japanese Bishoujo taste. Illustration created by Shunya Yamashita, know for his unique and beautiful pin up style women designs. The exceptional situation base uses the motif of flame in connection with her imagery. The sexy Marvel Girl comes pre-painted standing over 9" tall and in 1/8 scale, which is the golden scale for many Bishoujo figures and packaged in an attractive window box. Koto's popular Marvel Bishoujo line will continue with Dark Phoenix and more. Expect more to come.

When I got this I expected it to be a bit larger. This was done in the 1/6 scale, so it's kinda small. Will wait for the re done version of the Dark Phoenix. It is to small for the current price.

Ordered this figure to add to my collection and already had the Dark Phoenix version. She came quickly, and has been on my shelf un damaged ever since.

The second Kotobukiya Bishoujo statue to be added to my X-Woman collection is Phoenix!

Apparently she is one of the older model "Bishoujo" figures, so she is done at a 1/8th scale, which is slightly smaller than some of the newer statues like Mystique and Storm.

Something I forgot to mention in my review of the mystique figure: Kotobukiya Marvel Mystique Bishoujo Statue is that the boxes are kind of boring. Not that it matters too much as I couldn't wait to get these things out of their packages and on to my shelf! These statues are way too beautiful to keep behind the cardboard; the boxes are plain white and have a small image of the character on the front, along with their name running down the side in blocky, cartoony and ugly lettering. Something about these boxes just looks so plain and lazily designed to me. OPEN THE BOX AND SET THE BEAUTIFUL LADY INSIDE FREE!

Onto the statue itself: Small and lightweight, already attached to her base with no assembly or separate pieces required you can literally take this straight from the box to the shelf! Jean Grey is portrayed as very slender here, well, except for in the T&A regions if ya catch my drift! ;) Clearly men designed and sculpted these... Japanese men no less! haha

The paint job is great, though the fiery base seems a little muted in color; I don't know, but I feel like it should just pop with a fiery heat that it's kind of lacking. Her costume is gorgeous and her hair is to die for. A sultry auburn that has a gradient as it reaches to the tips of her curls- they become fiery orange like the flames beneath her which I think is the perfect touch for this fiery red-headed mutant! Her pose is both powerful and yet oddly erotic at the same time. The Japanese men know what they are doing I suppose! ;) A little pricey, considering I paid less for Mystique who is bigger and just seems to have more of a presence on my desk top, but this is still a worthwhile statue if you love the X-men and/or Japanese Bishoujo artwork!
