Kotobukiya Renewal Venom Carnage ARTFX+ Statues

Sony shocked everyone earlier this week when, after numerous delays over the last year, they actually moved the released date for the Venom 2 movie forward to October 1st! That means Venom: Let There Be Carnage will now be in theaters in under a month—and what better way to celebrate than with some new(-ish) merch, right? In a wildly unexpected move of their own, Kotobukiya is bringing “Renewal Editions” of their ARTFX+ Venom and Carnage statues back up for pre-order with new paint, new heads and even all new bases! Do these new additions make these 1/10 PVC statues worth their new higher prices?

Kotobukiya didn’t bring quite as elaborate of a spread of new Marvel statues to display at New York Toy Fair 2020 as they have in past years, but they did bring along a few previously announced figures to show off in the United States for the very first time! Along with the ARTFX Premier Scarlet Witch statue that’s now up for order, they also displayed the ARTFX Premier Captain Marvel and the concept art for the new version of a Black Cat Bishoujo PVC statue!

Kotobukiya has been steadily pumping out new Marvel ARTFX Premier statues ever since the line debuted at New York Toy Fair 2019 in February, with the series of premium PVC figures already in the double-digits heading into 2020.

How’s it look—and does an audience for merch of this character still exist…?

Kotobukiya surprised the collecting sphere at New York Toy Fair 2019 in February when they launched their new line of high-quality, high-priced Marvel ARTFX+ Premier statues with four characters right out of the gate. They’ve been going strong with the line since, with no signs of slowing down.

Kotobukiya ARTFX Premier Doctor Strange Statue

After dropping another half dozen new Marvel Legends figures for pre-order to close out last week, let’s hope Hasbro will give collectors a little respite before hitting them up with yet another blast of solicitations. In the meantime, let’s shift our focus to the next entry in Kotobukiya’s expanding high-priced PVC line! The sixth member of the Avengers lineup just may be the best figure we’ve seen so far in the line: ARTFX Premier Doctor Strange Statue is now up for order!

Kotobukiya’s Marvel ARTFX+ line of 1/10th scale PVC statues used to rule the land, but in a changing market with increased prices and much more competition, Koto has definitely stumbled a bit in recent times. They unveiled their new high-end line of plastic 1:10 Marvel ARTFX Premier statues at New York Toy Fair, but collector response has been lukewarm thus far. Can today’s solicitation of the 5th piece in the line buck the trend? The Kotobukiya She-Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order!

Kotobukiya ARTFX Premier Immortal Hulk Statue

Kotobukiya took the ARTFX+ collecting world by surprise at New York Toy Fair 2019, where they announced a new line of high-end ARTFX Premier statues with extensive detailing in their tried-and-true classic 1:10 scale format. Captain America, Thor and Iron Man quickly launched for POs after Toy Fair, and now it’s time for the last of the four pieces that debuted there: the Kotobukiya Immortal Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order! But even with premium details, is a 7” PVC statue worth $200…?

Toy Fair 2019 Kotobukiya ARTFX Premier Iron Man and Captain America

One of the primary things I’ve been looking forward to seeing at the 2019 Toy Fair is the new line of ARTFX Premier Statues that Kotobukiya surprise-announced with a teaser image of Captain America and Thor earlier this week. Well, as expected those first two pieces appears today at Toy Fair—along with surprise debuts of Hulk and Iron Man! Having seen these pieces in person, there’s no question Kotobukiya has upped their detail and quality game… although they’ve up their prices as well…

Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Thanos and Captain Marvel Figures

New York Toy Fair 2019 begins in under a week, but before I’m in NYC to check out and report on the armada of new Marvel figures and collectibles being featured there, I want to backtrack and check out some recent solicitations I haven’t touched on yet—including the final two additions to the Kotobukiya Avengers ARTFX+ Series! While the line has lost some steam due to increased prices and competition, I think there’s still some hype left for this pair: the Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Thanos and Captain Marvel statues are now up for PO!

Venom Kotobukiya ARTFX Statue

2018 has been a bit of a quiet year for Kotobukiya, with zero new Marvel Bishoujo statues released and little buzz surrounding their ARTFX+ Infinity War and Avengers Series 2 1:10 PVC figures. But one item that exceeded expectations and got a lot of love was the 1:6 scale Webslinger Spider-Man ARTFX Statue. So much love, in fact, that it’s getting a pretty magnificent (and huge!) companion piece next year: the 16.5” Kotobukiya Venom ARTFX Statue is now up for order!

NYCC 2018 Kotobukiya Booth Marvel Statues Thanos Vision Domino

Kotobukiya is one of my favorite companies to visit every time I’m in New York City for a major toy event, as they’ve always got at least something new for Marvel collectors to ogle at. And New York Comic Con 2018 was no exception! While the Weapon X statue I was hoping to see in-person wasn’t present, Koto unveiled their upcoming Vision and Thanos ARTFX+ statues, reveal their next Marvel Bishoujo Statue, and had a killer X-Men Animated figure diorama set up…

Kotobukiya Sam Wilson Captain America ARTFX+ Statue

Sam Wilson’s short tenure as Captain America may have come to an end last year, but the merch for Falcon Captain America is likely to continue coming in small bursts for years to come. And so, even though Sam Wilson has gone back to his better-known identity of The Falcon, Kotobukiya is producing Sam for their first-ever time–in his Cap persona: the Kotobukiya Sam Wilson Captain America ARTFX+ statue is now up for order!

Kotobukiya traditionally has only produced one or two (or zero) ARTFX+ statues for a given Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, but perhaps inspired by Avengers Infinity War having the largest case of heroes ever assembled, Koto is following suit with their most expansive MCU statue series to-date. And the third figure in the series is a character who broke out in Infinity War far more than his solo movie: the Kotobukiya Doctor Strange ARTFX+ statue is now up for order! But while this statue is priced as if it were made of resin, it’s actually PVC…

Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Gambit and Rogue Statues

Despite the fact that the Kotobukiya only announced their ARTFX+ X-Men 92 Figures line earlier this year, they’ve made it no secret that they’re going all-in with this series of 1:10 PVC statues right off the bat. And so, even though there’s still loads of villains and ancillary characters to make, all of the core members of the X-Men Animated team have now been accounted for: the Kotobukiya Gambit & Rogue ARTFX+ two-pack is now up for order!
