Danger Room Session Sabretooth Fine Art Statue by KOTOBUKIYA / KOTO INC.

Sabretooth is the third member of the elite X-Men Danger Room Sessions Fine Art Statues in the Marvel Comics Presents Kotobukiya Collection. Inspired by Jim Lee’s 1990’s era X-Men, Sabretooth (Victor Creed) embodies animalistic aggression. With similar powers and abilities including a healing factor, superhuman senses, and claws, he was a longtime rival of Wolverine. The fearsome predator stands ready for battle, his left hand balled into a fist and his right splayed open with claws at the ready. Sabretooth’s face is a mask of rage with his fangs bared in a vicious snarl. The mutant’s costume is authentic to the last detail, with the iconic brown and yellow tiger-striped bodysuit and massive fur collar. Sculpted by Erick Sosa, Sabretooth stands nearly 14 inches tall (in 1/6th scale with the other Danger Room Sessions members Wolverine and Psylocke). Beneath his feet is an exclusive base consisting of snow-covered rocky terrain on top of a mechanical projector. Every mutant in the Danger Room Sessions series is mounted on a unique Danger Room holographic environment with translucent parts that glow with a built-in LED light in the base. 10/6/2010 (Price: $179.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

DC X Bishoujo Collection Catwoman Bishoujo Statue by KOTOBUKIYA / KOTO INC.

Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of DC Comics, the DC X Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) continues with the second beautiful bishoujo-inspired statues, Catwoman. Catwoman is ready for heroism or mischief (or both). Clad in her tight black leather bodysuit, the thieving beauty coyly raises one foot off the ground while playfully biting her whip. Meanwhile, the rest of her weapon coils in the air behind her, adding tremendous life and action to the piece. Catwoman is finely detailed, from her goggles pushed up on her forehead, the straps on her boots and the buckles at her neck and waist. Finishing off with her beautiful Bishoujo-styled face. Catwoman is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and stands approximately 9 1/10 inches tall (in an increased 1/7 scale for DC X Bishoujo statues) atop an exclusive Gotham City Batman-inspired gargoyle base complete with two miniature cats. First appearing in 1940’s Batman #1, Selina Kyle has for decades straddled the line between hero and villain. Whether on the same side or not, Catwoman and Batman have had an interesting relationship that has occasionally turned romantic. 10/6/2010 (Price: $59.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
