The valiant Vixen is next DC Comics Cover Girl

Here’s a bit of comic-book history for you — Vixen was intended to be the very first African superheroine to take center stage in her own DC Comics series, but regretfully the first issue was canceled due to the late-’70s DC implosion. Regardless, Ms. Vixen has already made her mark on the DC continuum, and she finally got to star in her own limited series in 2008.

From combating poachers in India to going undercover to capture a drug kingpin, Vixen is not one to shrink back. Celebrate her awesomeness with this nine-inch statue, featuring her beautiful golden garb and a pose that shows she’s ready to pounce. Designed by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau and Sam Greenwell, this Vixen needs you to hurry up — she’ll only be available in a limited run of 5,200.

Don’t be fooled. These claws are sharp.

Get ready for Batman: Arkham Knight with this statue

One of the most waited-on video games of the year is about to drop come June, and we’ve got something that will help you prepare yourself for your inevitable hibernation for Batman: Arkham Knight. It’s pretty much the next-best thing to calling your job/school/family/partner and telling them you’ll be MIA for about a week. Right?

This intricately rendered nine-inch design is another collaboration between DC Comics and Gentle Giant Studios, known for their screen-perfect incarnations of well-loved characters. Varying shades of gray and black give Batman’s paint job depth and mystique. Don’t miss out on this must-have statue.

About to throw down.

Bishoujo series aims to wow with new Starfire statue

Continuing the much-lauded collaboration between DC Comics and Japanese toymakers Kotobukiya is their next bishoujo or “beautiful young girl” statue, Starfire! Standing nine inches tall, she is shown with picturesque tendrils of flaming hair gently framing her curvaceous appearance.

She perches atop a craggy rock which contrasts gorgeously with her shapely legs, clad in metallic blue thigh-high boots. They really pulled out all the stops with this one, and if a PG-rated statue with innuendo is what you’re looking for, this Starfire mold is your jam.

This is what we all look like casually lounging on cliff faces. Right?

Juri from Street Fighter is next Japanese import from Kotobukiya

“Bishoujo” is an unofficial Japanese term for an attractive young lady, usually in her teens, and it’s well-known that anime and manga series use this aesthetic to give their female protagonists a timeless, innocent look. It’s far from realistic, but that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Juri from Street Fighter is one of the latest figurines to be rendered using this type of visual. Her image is curvaceously formed and dynamic, as she holds one leg in the air in a jaunt that can be interpreted as both battle-ready and playful.

Made by Kotobukiya, standing an above-average nine inches tall, and comprising the third installment in their Bishoujo series after Cammy and Chun Li, Juri is both gorgeous and powerful. Sculpted by Masahiro Takahashi (Gill Gill) in her trademark shades of bright violet and midnight black, she comes replete with her distinct battle harness while cheekily sticking her tongue out at you. She’s perfect for display next to your other Street Fighter figures and is available for preorder now, shipping out in May of next year.

The memorable heroine from the Capcom game is the third in Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo series.
