STATUE
I loved the previous Jaina Solo statue for its playful pose and just gorgeous facial features. But this Mara
Jade takes all that to the next level
and beyond!! The pose here perfectly conveys that strong force push
dynamic pose in the artwork.

molded details, and different shades
of blues that accentuate that gorgeous female figure. The knee high
boots are painted in a more metallic
style that makes them stand out from
the more matt-like finish of the body
suit.

One of my favourite features has to
be the red hair, and how it’s sculpting is various shades of translucent
red/orange plastic. From all angles
the hair is just outstanding, and it
frames another beautiful Bishoujo
face from Kotobukiya. The paint app
on the skin is again flawless - I love
the creamy smoothness and subtle
shading.

The brown paint app on the belt and
her shoulder/back harness is nicely
done too. I love how the belt lays on
her hips, with the holster slung to the
side. The statue overall is so beautiful, it looks every bit as amazing from
the rear as it does from the front, if
not more so! But really, this statue
is pretty damn awesome no matter
which way you look at her!

The outfit itself is also beautifully
done, with lots of different textures,

For me, this is another home run for
Kotobukiya in the Bishoujo line. I

haven’t been collecting their statues
for very long, but in the short space
of time that I have, I can safely say
that there is no other company that
makes statues of such quality at
such an affordable price!
Together with Jaina Solo, these two
look simply stunning. I cannot wait to
see who they announce to be next
in the Star Wars Bishoujo line (Slave
Leia pretty please!). I just hope they
don’t take another year or so to release the next one! Most highly recommended!
