New KOTOBUKIYA Japanese
import!
Continuing the lineup
of beautiful bishoujo-inspired statues combining the superheroines and
villains of DC Comics with traditional Japanese stylings comes a truly magical lady,
the sorceress ZATANNA! Daughter of the
famous stage magician Giovanni “John” Zatara, Zatanna, created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Murphy Anderson, first appeared in Hawkman #4 (October–November 1964). The character, both a stage magician and a real magician like her father Giovanni "John" Zatara, is known for her involvement with the Justice League, Sentinels of Magic, and more with her unique backwards-English spell
casting. Zatanna appears in this brand
new Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) styled statue based on original character
art by world famous illustrator Shunya Yamashita!
Using sleight of hand as well as
her considerable beauty, Zatanna distracts you, her audience, as she prepares
to pull something out of her hat. The
magician looks like she is frozen in mid-performance, wearing her stage costume
and sculpted in a unique pose. Zatanna
balances on one foot with the other pulled up under her as she leans to the
side, dramatically aiming her wand at her outstretched top hat. The beguiling sorceress costume is based upon her father's costume but substituting fishnet stockings and high heels for slacks, white gloves, a black bodysuit, and a complex top
with tuxedo elements. There is an
incredible amount of sculpted detail in Zatanna’s intricate clothing as well as
her long, flowing hair and captivating Bishoujo-styled face.
Sculpted by Takaboku Busujima
(Busujimax), Zatanna stands just under 10 inches tall (1/7 scale) on her
specially designed display base. Whether
displayed on her own or with other DC Comics Bishoujo statues on your shelf,
this enchantress is ready to work her magic! The statue will be available in July 2015 priced at $69.99
