Being unfamiliar with her work this is a rather dense scoop to parse, but bear with me as I try to sort things out: goods maker President Japan announced on their Eye Ball production blog yesterday that they’ll be producing a series of figures based on the original illustrations of mangaka and artist Ouse Kohime (official site). A post on her blog provides further details and additional pictures of the first figure in the series, “BLACK BAT”, who is from the Time Keeper series (apparently a series of original illustrations; I can’t source these for the life of me). Future figures in the series will include an “angel” and a “fallen angel”. The initial batgirl figure is scheduled for release in July as a prepainted and assembled polyresin statue. Price and other details are not yet announced, but this is bound to be an expensive item… we’ll keep a lookout for more details. If anyone has copies of Ouse’s artbooks on hand and could possibly find the original image of this it would be much appreciated! (no more)
That figure is based off of an illustration found in an artbook of hers called “Astrolabe”, which is a few years old.
Interesting- hope to see her in color soon.
Omg! I have tons of her work saved on my comp! I love them! I can’t believe this is going to be a fig. I’m so excited!
The figure’s facial expression and pose are pretty cool and, to be honest, I’d consider buying it if it only came as it’s pictured now.
