Sadako Bishoujo Statue (Ringu – The Ring) – Illustration by Shunya Yamashita « Toy Blog

Kotobukiya has put a sensational statue up for pre-order to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Bishoujo Collection line featuring figures based on original illustrations by artist Shunya Yamashita in the Japanese “pretty girl” style.

To mark the milestone, Kotobukiya asked Shunya Yamashita to use his immense talent to style a delicate Bishoujo figure of one of the greatest icons of Japanese horror, the evil ghost Sadako. The original film Ring (Ringu) was directed by Hideo Nakata in 1998 and inspired by the book written by Koji Suzuki.

The Sadako The Ring Bishoujo 15th Anniversary Statue depicts a scene where Sadako appears to float, using her strong psychic powers, hovering over a stack of old VHS video tapes. The immense amount of unrolled tape can be arranged freely around the statue, and for extra decoration, the set comes with two more rolls of spare tapes inside a VCR-style case (and a surprise hidden among them).

Sadako The Ring Bishoujo comes with two display options: with her long black hair completely covering her face or with a beautiful and evil eye, capable of seeing her soul, appearing beneath her hair.

The terrifying vengeful entity is dressed in a white gown with transparent parts that recreate the appearance of skin showing through thin clothing after being wet by the water of the well. Her fingers and toenails are damaged from scratching inside the well.

The 1:7 scale Sadako The Ring Bishoujo is officially licensed by Toho, measuring 17 cm tall, made of PVC/ABS plastics and containing magnetic parts. The non-articulated figure was based on original art by Shunya Yamashita.

The Sadako The Ring Bishoujo 15th Anniversary Statue costs US$159.99 in pre-sale at BigBadToyStore, which accepts orders from Brazil.
