Skimpy, busty, ninja lady!



Regular non-readers of this waste of time will no doubt be totally unaware of my Marvel comics obsession, nor my love for Kotobukiya's Shunya Yamashita Marvel statue line.

None of that matters though, as the next figure in the range is my absolute favourite Marvel X-girl, beating Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost and all the rest by virtue of being a smoking hot ninja chick. I'm easily pleased. Yup, Psylocke is on the way, as I already knew, but the first images of the sculpt have been revealed.



Not entirely sure I like it as much as the Rogue from last year if I'm totally honest - I'm a sucker for the Jim Lee look for Betsy, which I guess is a lot colder and harder than the Yamashita style. I'd also have preferred to see a Psychic Knife or some TK butterflies rather than twin swords, but it's still pretty decent. And pretty. Ms Braddock doesn't get enough love in the X-Men comics imo, and they can never really decide what the hell to do with her from one week to the next, chopping and changing her powers at a frankly silly rate, so it's nice to see a figurine.

As long as she stays a ninja in that costume though, I'll always be a fan. >_< I really need to get out more...
