Kool Kollectibles Review – Kotobukiya Bishoujo Cammy
statue
Kotobukiya have been releasing some amazing
statues recently, covering a large range of source material from DC and Marvel
comics, to Star Wars and anime, and also gaming with Tekken and Street Fighter.
I reviewed their first Street Fighter Bishoujo statue in Chun-Li a few issues
back, and now they have released an equally amazing statue in Cammy.

As always with Kotobukiya, the sculpting and paint application on the statue is outstanding, and up close really brings out the detail in the character. The pose is dynamic and for the most part faithfully captures the Bishoujo artwork by renowned artist Shunya Yamashita.
The standout feature is definitely the musculature, that really captures the strength and beauty of Cammy. Many statues have only one or two directions in which the it looks best on display. But with such a dynamic pose, this Cammy can be placed in many directions with all looking equally awesome.
Front on shows her strong fighting pose with her fist close to her beautifully rendered face, and her outstretched arm flashing out in attack. While from behind, the statue really brings the focus to her hair, legs, and of course iconic leotard.
The leotard itself is nicely molded and painted, with no bleed through onto the skin texture. It even has great molded lines and black wash to bring out the realistic nature of the costume.
And as always with Kotobukiya statues, it's the little details too that bring the statue up a level. The molded detail on the boots with the laces, to the shiny metallic red finish on her gauntlets, to the painted details on her fingernails and eyes, all sum up to make for a statue with incredible presence on display.
When paired up with Chun-Li, these two
perfectly complement each other, almost as if they are sparring. I was so
impressed with Chun-Li previously, but I think this new Cammy statue out does
it on almost every level.
If you’re a fan of Street Fighter, or
anime, or just the Bishoujo line of statues in general, I would highly
recommend the new Cammy statue.
Kotobukiya have already teased the upcoming
statues in the line with Juri, Sakura, and Poison confirmed to be next in the
Street Fighter series. I can’t wait to get those as well! J
