Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Dark Phoenix Bishoujo Statue



Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Dark Phoenix Bishoujo Statue

Product Description
In "The Dark Phoenix Saga", Mastermind a.k.a. Jason Wyngarde tampers with Jean's mind, convincing her she's a Victorian aristocrat (and the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club) and that he is her husband. She turns on her friends, but then loses control of her emotions and becomes the Dark Phoenix, attacking her friends and teammates and destroying a populated solar system's star. Jean regains her sanity long enough to commit suicide rather than risk becoming the Dark Phoenix again and killing anyone else. After killing herself on the moon, Jean's soul awakens in the afterlife and is dressed in a White Phoenix costume. Death greets Jean and tries to help her understand the Phoenix before fragments of her soul are sent back to Earth.

Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
In collaboration with Marvel comics the popular character has been redesigned, or shall we say re-mixed with Japanese Bishoujo taste. A totally different color scheme from original "Phoenix" Trancelucent material is used on various parts of the body and base to capture her essence. The exceptional situation base uses the motif of flame in connection with her imagery. 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. Illustration created by Shunya Yamashita, know for his unique and beautiful pin up style women designs.
