Collectibles manufacturer Kotobukiya has been releasing new ARTFX+ statues based on Marvel Comics characters from Marvel's Marvel Now! initiative, and found success with their Avengers line. Their latest statues have been based on the Uncanny X-Men from the Marvel Now! phase, having released Cyclops & Emma Frost thus far, with Magneto expected to land in December. Next up is fan-favourite soul-sword wielding Illyana Rasputina (often shortened to Rasputin), better known as Magik.
Magik, Colossus' little sister, has been a member of the Marvel Universe for decades, but she really became a much more prominent character during Marvel's Marvel Now! line, playing a major part in both Uncanny X-Men and, later down the track, All-New X-Men.
The 1/10th scale statue measures up to more than 7.5 inches tall, and stands on a magnetic display stand. The statue, sculpted by Junosuke Abe, is based on a design by well-known artist Adi Granov, and will ship in February.
No price has been announced as of yet, but you can expect it to end up being around $54.99, just like Cyclops and Emma Frost. However, it could also potentially be priced at $59.99, like the Magneto statue will be when it drops in December. Make sure to let me know in the comments below if you're planning on picking up the statue when it lands on shelves, and be sure to share and hit that thumbs up button!
In the meantime, here are some screens of the beautifully crafted statue to showcase just how high quality cheaper statues really can be!
