    FROM SHOUT! FACTORY and NBC UNIVERSAL TELEVISION, DVD,

    MUSIC AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS GROUP

    Simon & Simon provides high-speed prime-time ’80s action of the highest order.

    Season Four brings detective brothers Rick (Gerald McRaney, Jericho) and A.J. (Jameson Parker, JAG) Simon nothing but trouble as they tackle a bevy of action-packed cases on the streets of beautiful San Diego, CA. In between tracking down kidnappers, jewel thieves and hit men, Rick gets accused of murder and A.J. gets slipped some angel dust — on top of tangling with the Mob.

    KOTOBUKIYA NEWS: MARVEL X PHOENIX BISHOUJO STATUE! -@ 15:34 PST

    MARVEL X BISHOUJO COLLECTION PHOENIX BISHOUJO STATUE

    A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The revolutionary Marvel X Bishoujo Collection, combining the beauties of the Marvel Comics universe with traditional Japanese stylings, continues with one of the most popular superheroines of all time: the PHOENIX! An elemental force of fire and life, the Phoenix found a suitable host template in Jean Grey, the X-Man known as Marvel Girl. When Grey seemingly sacrificed herself to save her teammates the alien entity took her place and started a whole new heroic chapter in the saga of the Phoenix. Now for the first time Phoenix is presented in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on original character art by illustrator Shunya Yamashita.

    The Phoenix is the most dynamic Marvel x Bishoujo beauty yet! Floating down out of the sky, she rests on one foot in a magnificent base consisting of a swirling cyclone of flame. With her leg pointed and her arms above her head, the Phoenix is stretched to show off the amazing curves of her slender body. Her skin-tight costume is very revealing, and the brilliant green and gold perfectly offset the reds of her hair and base. The Phoenix’s amazing sculpt is highlighted by a striking Bishoujo-styled face and incredible, seemingly weightless, floating hair.

    Sculpted by Koei Matsumoto, Phoenix is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and stands approximately 9 inches tall (in 1/8 scale with the other Marvel x Bishoujo statues). The stunning beauty of the Phoenix will look great in your collection, especially standing side by side with her “evil twin,” the Dark Phoenix!
