"Celebrating BISHOUJO's 15th Anniversary!!! Kotobukiya's BISHOUJO series is celebrating this special year with the Ultimate BISHOUJO! This large 1/6 scale statue reaches a total height of over 30cm! The character chosen for this commemorative item was Invisible Woman, a member of the first ever super hero team in Marvel history.
For Kotobukiya, Invisible Woman is also a special character that supported the BISHOUJO series in its early days.
The BISHOUJO team took this anniversary year as a chance to look back at the illustration by Shunya Yamashita with fresh eyes, and took on the challenge of bringing this statue back to life with Kotobukiya's latest skills and techniques. The result was not just a simple reproduction, but the development of a whole new statue!
The statue features her hair flowing in the breeze made with clear material and layered with a beautiful pearlescent paint, creating an airy and transparent tone.
Complicated details, such as her irises and the inside of her mouth, have been recreated with a sense of depth and precision that only this large of a scale can bring to life. Her costume features a detailed contrast between the textured and glossy fabrics, with the recreation of even the fine wrinkles being perfectly and naturally captured. Her force field, as well as hands and feet, utilize clear material to make a beautiful gradient that gradually turns transparent at her fingertips.
The BISHOUJO team is proud to present this statue as a commemorative item for fans all over the globe, as a piece that both showcases the history of the series and its future to come.
The BISHOUJO series reimagines characters from popular comic books, games, and movies from a Japanese perspective and transforms them into unique "BISHOUJO" style statues. Based on art by illustrator Shunya Yamashita, the series aims to provide figures inspired by Japanese art to fans throughout the world.
Since release of the first BISHOUJO statue in 2009, the series has continued for ten years and will continue for many more!
Keep an eye out for more exciting additions to the ever-expanding BISHOUJO world!"
Terms Of Pre-Order
Pre-orders require us to commit to an order with a specific manufacturer which we are then liable for. If you place a pre-order, the minimum 10% deposit of total guide price required to place a pre-order is non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. The only exception to this is if the price quoted on your order is going to change by more than 10% when the item arrives.
ETA's can vary and are not guaranteed arrival date. We list the date given by manufacturer, but delays can and do happen. We cannot cancel your pre-order, even if delays are substantial, so please take this into account when ordering. We regularly update the product listing with the latest ETA. Keep an eye on the listings after you order to see when your product is due to arrive.
Orders must be settled within 30 days of the product coming into stock. Failure to settle within this period may mean you lose your deposit and pre-ordered item.
Prices quoted can be subject to change as items are only billed by manufacturers when they ship to us. We do everything we can to give you an accurate buy price, but pre-orders that are far away can vary in price if exchange rate varies from now until then.
Postage fees can also vary depending on the size of the product, type of shipping and number of boxes required. We suggest you pre-order each item individually as that way each pre-order's postage is paid separately and can ship as it comes into stock.
Why Pre-Order?
Many items are produced in limited quantities. Pre-Ordering looks to ensure that you get one of the limited numbers produced.
What happens when I Pre-Order?
Upon receiving your Pre-Order, we will place an order with the appropriate distributor for your item. The distributor in turn places the order with the manufacturer who then ensure that the item is shipped to the distributor when it's ready. This means we are liable for the order from that point which is why we charge you a deposit to ensure you're serious on purchasing the item.
Why are some pre-order ship dates so far away?
A number of manufacturers produce items in batches according to demand. The manufacturing process takes considerable time as the items are often hand painted.
What if I change my mind and want to cancel?
Should you wish to cancel your Pre-Order you can do so, but you will lose either the deposit you paid, or if you paid in full or part-payments, 10% of the expected guide price of the item. The reason for this is we will have placed an order for your item and we are liable for it.
Is the price you list the final price I will pay?
Most of the time, the guide price will be correct. But as we buy most pre-orders in from abroad, the price can vary due to exchange rate variance. Sometimes that can work in your favour and sometimes against. When the item is ready to ship from the distributor, we will inform you of any price changes. If prices have risen by over 10%, you have the right to cancel order if you so wish and we will return your deposit.
Are Pre-Orders guaranteed to arrive?
Most of the time they are pretty reliable. However, sometimes the manufacturer can run into production or licensing problems and occasionally items are cancelled either temporarily or permanently. Of course if this happens we will refund your deposit.
What happens when my Pre-Order comes into stock?
When your item comes into stock you have 30 days to pay the remaining amount due (Guide Price less your deposit) or risk losing your Pre-Order and deposit.
Can I pay off my pre-order in staged payments rather than one big sum?
We can send you stage payments if you wish to pay in advance of your product shipping. Simply email us to let us know your preferred payment stages. We do ask that the balance is settled at maximum 30 days after the product is in stock.
