Kotobukiya The Flash New 52 ARTFX+ Statue

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s line of DC Comics “New 52” ARTFX+ Statues continues, capturing the new looks and costumes of heroes in the Justice League. Racing to join the previously released Superman and Green Lantern comes the Scarlet Speedster and guardian of the Gem Cities, The Flash! Barry Allen was a mild-mannered forensic scientist (who was perpetually late) working late at night in his lab when a bolt of lightning changed his life forever. The electricity and chemicals combined mysteriously to imbue Allen with unbelievable speed and thus the Flash was born! Not content merely to stand at attention like his fellow Justice Leaguers Superman and Green Lantern, the Flash can’t stay still for a moment. Ready to speed off to fight crime or supervillains with a wide-legged stance, Allen cracks his knuckles in anticipation. The Scarlet Speedster’s New 52 costume maintains the character’s traditional bright red and yellow color scheme but updates it with a bold new lightning bolt logo and intricate energy lines crackling all over his suit. The Flash’s excellent sculpt even includes the new technological details of his costume like the reinforced boots. Standing 7 ½ inches tall (in the ARTFX+ 1/10th scale), the Flash was sculpted by master artist Atelier Bamboo. Magnets in his feet make him perfectly stable on his included display base, and he’ll look great on your shelf next to the rest of the Justice League including the upcoming Wonder Woman!

Available February 2013.

His butt looks weird?
he looks great tho.

The metallic red on Flash's outfit is absolutely stunning. I read the same comment about Flash's booty at Koto's FB page which is a bit odd because its the first time I have seen someone comment about a man's butt.

Ooo, shiny. Didn't have much interest in these before, but now I don't know... they've (so far) come out really nice. WW looked real good too from the unpainted sculpt we say of her too. Hmm... might have to pick a couple (or all >__<) of these up at some point.

That's probably one of the best mass produced Flash's I've seen. If only it was bigger.

Very shiny. Well made. Horrible costume. Hate the nuDCU. Easy pass on all these.

It's a pity Kotobukiya couldn't start with classic versions.

not sure if I'm getting Cyborg.

Bout time a decent flash has been made!

Just wish it was in the old outfit.

Love this Flash! Best statue of him I've seen yet!

Hopefully we'll get a classic Flash for the 1:6 scale ArtFX DC line...

I think it's perfect. Atelier Bamboo did a damn good job. His butt is fine. It's very finely toned.

Best Flash based on Jim Lee's designs. Can't wait for the rest of the League.

By the way, I think Atelier's real name is Gataro Takeuchi.
