HORROR BISHOUJO Sadako by Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya, in celebration of the 15th Anniversary of their BISHOUJO series of figures, has opened pre-orders for HORROR BISHOUJO Sadako originally from Ringu! Sadako has been designed with with the same horrifying allure she always— You know, now that I have that cable, I wouldn’t, um mind watching a movie now— no, don’t worry, I can rewind that tape, it should be super easy…

Maybe when you come around next week, we can watch something else?

The BISHOUJO series finally reaches its 15th anniversary!

For this momentous occasion, Kotobukiya is adding one of the biggest icons of Japanese horror to the HORROR BISHOUJO lineup–Sadako! Shunya Yamashita has once again lent his talent to stylize the delicate expression on this BISHOUJO.

To honor the standard expression that fans often see with Japanese ghosts, she can be displayed with long black hair covering her face. To make for an even more luxurious set, yet another replacement part is included that shows a beautiful eye with a seemingly lonely expression peeking out from under her hair. With these expressions, fans can select what level of horror they want this statue to be.

Her iconic white dress utilizes clear parts to recreate the appearance of skin that shows through a thin garment after becoming wet from the water in the well. Her finger and toenails are peeled off from scratching and scrabbling inside the well, making for a painted style that almost seems like a red manicure.

The design depicts a scene where Sadako seems to float using her strong psychic powers, hovering above a pile of videotapes. The immense amount of unraveled tape being pushed out of the cassettes can also be freely arranged around the statue. For extra decoration, two rolls of spare tape are included wrapped inside of a videotape-styled box so fans can use any amount they prefer to decorate this piece.

To add to these features, something a little bit different from the rest is hidden among these videotapes. Add her to your collection today to find out what this piece holds!

-待望のJホラーがHORROR美少女に登場！-

ついに15周年を迎えたBISHOUJOシリーズ！この節目を記念して、ジャパニーズホラーを代表するキャラクター、貞子がHORROR美少女シリーズに満を持してのラインナップ！山下しゅんや氏により、繊細な表情のBISHOUJOにアレンジしました。

日本の幽霊表現のスタンダードにもなっている長い黒髪に顔が覆われた状態と、寂しげでいて美しいその目を髪の間から覗かせた表情の2通りをパーツの差し替えで選択できます。ご気分に合わせてホラー度をご調整ください。同じく貞子を象徴する白いワンピースは、クリア素材を採用することで井戸の水に濡れた衣服の薄い布から素肌が透けて見える様を表現しています。また、そのさきの手足の爪は井戸の中で足掻いたことで剥がれ落ちており、まるで赤いマニキュアのように彩ります。

うずたかく積み上げられたビデオテープの山の上に、強力な超能力で浮かぶ様をイメージしたシチュエーション。そのカセットからはみ出たおびただしい量のテープはご自身でアレンジすることが可能です。デコレーション用のテープは予備を含め2ロール分が専用ビデオテープ型BOXに封入されていますので、お好きな量で飾ることもお楽しみいただけます。なお、ビデオテープの中には、他のものとは様子が違う1本が隠されています。ぜひお手元でご確認ください。
