Couple Qs --
1. Do you have any idea when we will see Gambit? (or concept art)
2. Any idea when we will see Black Cat Bishoujo sculpt?
3. Any chance of a new Rogue Bishoujo?
4. Any chance of a direct order Comic Con Bishoujo since SDCC will most likely be canceled?

Thanks.

1. I believe the sculpt is approved for our Fine Art Gambit. Prototyping and paint still need to occur.
2. The sculpt is finalized and she's heading to prototyping and paint. We're looking to include a cool, themed base for Ms. Hardy!
3. Too early to say what the next Marvel Bishoujo will be but I certainly would not rule out any possibilities.
4. As a company we are closely monitoring this rapidly developing situation. Once updates become available from event organizers we'll be in a better position to possibly comment.

@Gonk, have you guys ever looked into a Final Fantasy or Mortal Kombat license for your bishoujo line? Both franchises have some amazing female characters that would make killer bishoujo.

So no more Jim Lee DC ArtFX then? Not even Aquaman?

More Marvel ArtFX to come after Carnage?

Give us a Moon Knight and Ghost Rider Koto!

I've wanted Final Fantasy statues for years but unfortunately due to the fact that Square-Enix has their own official merchandise brand, I don't think they license out their characters to other statue/figure companies. It wouldn't be so bad if Square-Enix put out merchandise that appealed to me but they seem to focus on action figures and lower end trading statues. It's a shame to think about all the amazing Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider (and probably some others that I am not thinking of) statues that could have been released over the years if the license was able to get into the hands of companies like Kotobukiya, Alter, or Good Smile etc...

You should check out the three Final Fantasy 7 Remake statues that are up for PO now. They're making Sephiroth, Aerith and Cloud and they're pretty nice looking. I PO'd all three for less than $50 each and they are the size of bishoujos.

Oh yeah. Those look pretty good for the price point they are at.

Any news for the star wars ARTFX+ line, characters from the prequels like count Dooku?

[nousefouraname]

with the coronavirus situation, do you forsee significant delays on these statues from a manufacturing/distribution perspective?

I have the Anakin and Tie Fighter statues pre-ordered. I'm wondering if June is really feasible.

Any chance of a Mortal Kombat bishoujo line?
