eschergirls: loxes submitted: Kotobukiya is also proud to present an all-new rendition of a popular Marvel Comics character: Black Widow Covert Ops Gray Costume Limited Edition Bishoujo Statue. Sculpted by Masahiro Takahashi (based on an illustration by Shunya Yamashita, famed Japanese illustrator) Dynamic posing captures Black Widow in mid-action lending a sense of movement to the entire piece Quotes and image taken from here. To be honest, I’m really not sure whether the ‘sense of movement’ is meant to be towards or away from the viewer… I’ve had this submitted to me a few times today.  I’m a bit confused.  This is an “all new” figure? http://eschergirls.tumblr.com/post/16531833435/i-think-this-statuette-was-made-too-early-in-the Because it looks an AWFUL LOT like that figure.  Except her body is slightly changed, her hair is a different colour, and she’s holding a knife instead of a gun.  I have to admit, if the artist got 2 paycheques for basically altering one design, kudos to them! Either way, since it’s basically the same, my comments from the original stand.

    am I the only one curious about that random purple thing? and also about how her body does that?

  9. eristell-neko said: Kotobukiya does this a lot, especially for limited editions for special shows and such like. There are two special versions of their Emma Frost figure (one for New York Toy Fair and the other for SDCC), there are two Super Girl variations, and so on.
  10. technecat said: Figures are part of a weird merch culture where they often create limited editions of one style, then recreate them again- also in limited edition- forcing collectors to buy several versions. They almost exclusively sculpt from artwork, hence this.

  15. ancientwhisper said: A lot of figurines have the normal run and limited edition run. This one would be worth a lot more just because of the small changes in colors and the fact that it’s limited to thousands/hundreds. The knife might be removable. Otherwise, it’s same.

  17. wingedkiare said: The real question is - what is with the random masks? (Seriously though, they took the previous sculpt and made the outfit look more like movie-verse Black Widow. Talk about an unsexy pose.)
  18. anniefelis said: Plagerism happens a lot in japanese art. A lot of their comics are traced off one another, so it makes sense that a lot of their figurines would be knock-offs of one another too.
