Almost fourteen years after her initial release, Kotobukiya is re-releasing their 1/8th scale Makise Kurisu from the unrepeatable STEINS;GATE visual novel.

Totally not biased. Shops and photos are this way!

From the DC Comics sub-series of Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo series, comes Barbara Gordon’s batgirl! She looks pretty derpy in her cowl and that’s the reason we aren’t showing it.

Hailing from Jujutsu Kaisen, Kotobukiya’s ARTFX J Zen’in Maki with a stoic and no-nonsense expression is now available for pre-order with a February release. As with Nobara before her, Maki’s pose is one with the intent to attack, but not attacking yet.

As a literal bonus, orders from Kotobukiya Shop and Kotous include an alternate grinning expression.
