Kotobukiya Juggernaut & X-Force Psylocke Statues at SDCC 2013!

Though much of the focus on Kotobukiya at San Diego Comic Con 2013 was focused on their upcoming Avengers Marvel NOW ARTFX+ statues, the Kotobukiya Fine Arts statues line made itself known with two brand new 1/6 scale statues. From the X-Men side of the Marvel Universe, the 2014 Kotobukiya Juggernaut and X-Force Psylocke statues have now made their public debuts at SDCC 2013!

Kotobukiya Spider-Woman Bishoujo Statue & More at NYCC 2013!

Regular readers know that I’m not quite a fan of the typical Kotobukiya Bishoujo Marvel statues. That said, Kotobukiya definitely got my attention last week when they revealed the concept sketch for a Jubilee Bishoujo statue before New York Comic Con 2013 even began! I suspected we wouldn’t see any further sneak peeks of Jubilee (that sounded dirty) at the show, but I made Kotobukiya an early stop at NYCC 2013 nonetheless. I was rewarded for my efforts with a release date for the Kotobukiya Jubilee and a glimpse at some upcoming statues, including the Bishoujo Spider-Woman sculpt being shown for the first time ever Kotobukiya released the concept artwork for the Spider Woman Bishoujo statue a few months back, so I was totally prepared to see a prototype Spider Woman in a raunchy pose at the 2013 New York Comic Con. And, well–she definitely is in a pose that could be construed as being a bit explicit. But then again, maybe she’s not in such a provocative pose at all!
You know how sometimes Spider-Man or Daredevil will squat down into a crouching pose on top of a gargoyle statue or some such when stalking a super-villain? Yup–that’s exactly what I’m certain the Kotobukiya artists envisioned when they hatched this design for Spider-Woman. If you’re imagining anything to the contrary, it’s just your dirty imagination at work. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Review: Fall to pieces over 'LEGO Marvel Super Heroes'

Two weeks ago in this column, we took a look at Scribblenauts Unmasked, a fun but flawed fusion between DC Comics and the puzzle-filled cartoon world of Scribblenauts.

Now we've got LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, the coming together of two massive universes: LEGO and Marvel.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's multiplatform title is a highly enjoyable adventure filled with familiar faces, varied missions and a deep cooperative ("co-op") experience.

In the game's original story, the villainous Loki and Doctor Doom attack the Silver Surfer, which causes his flying board to shatter and rain down on the Earth.

S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury assembles the planet's greatest heroes to recover the powerful Cosmic Bricks that comprise the board before the bad guys find them first and build a super weapon. There's more to the tale, but it would spoil the surprises for you.
