First Look: Shunya Yamashita Illustrated Kotobukiya Marvel Bishoujo Storm

Here’s your first look at the Kotobukiya Marvel Bishoujo featuring Storm as illustrated by Shunya Yamashita.

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! The popular Marvel Bishoujo collection (combining iconic superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) continues to bring you the amazing beauties of the Marvel Comics universe as you’ve never seen them before. Following hot on the heels of X-23 is another beautiful and powerful mutant, the goddess Storm! A native of Africa known as Ororo Munroe, the Marvel “weather witch” first appeared in 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1.

In addition to her prodigious meteorological powers, Storm has exhibited a great talent for leadership which she has put into good use as a frequent leader of X-Men teams over the years. After appearing in nearly all of the X-Men movies, comic books, cartoons, and video games over the years, it’s her turn to be treated to the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on an original character reinterpretation by renowned illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
