The Air-Walker statue seems to live up to the name, with him looking like he is floating or walking on air.

I tend not to like the Kotobukiya Japanese import statues, nor do I tend to
like anime/manga styled versions of DC and Marvel characters, but I'm really
liking Kotobukiya's Marvel Bishoujo line:

JB, I think the Kotobukyia Rogue is available this June (according to the last Previews).
Man, I thought I was free and clear after luckily snagging that rare Yoko Ritona figure I missed out on early last year, and now these gals come along... Was on the fence regarding the Rogue, but that Black Widow is a "must buy."

It's interesting to look at that Black Widow figure. I wonder, are there some
who would insist her jumpsuit is dark grey, not black? That is, after all, the
dominant highlight color. . . . .

I would have much preferred this version now that I've seen the two. The thing I can't figure out is if this version of the figure is really
that superior looking to the one I have (I'm not a fan of how dark the green is on mine), or if it's one of those prototype/showcase figure
that looks better than the retail versions.
*************
Here's another pic of the one you didn't get from eBay--
It looks pretty close to the pic you posted... might have to snag one of these myself.

Regarding that Airwalker bust,
Wow, what a great design idea. (The way the figure hovers over the base)
Smart tricks like that usually go a long way to make a good sculpt into a great item to own.

I think there's a good chance I'll be looking for the Black Widow figure myself. May have to rearrange some "stuff" if this type of behavior continues. Thanks for the updates and such.
Dave.
