A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The time has come for the next evolution in ARTFX, and Kotobukiya is proud to debut the incredible ARTFX Premier Statue line. Following hot on the heels of the Asgardian Thor Odinson is the American super soldier and defender of liberty, CAPTAIN AMERICA from Marvel’s modern Fresh Start comics! ARTFX Premier is a high-quality statue line that challenges the limits of product development by capturing characters in the highest possible level of detail, and that premier quality can be seen in every aspect of this patriotic hero. Created in 1941 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby to represent opposition to Nazi Germany, Captain America combined superhero stories with patriotism and the fight against oppression in the world.

His iconic red, white, and blue costume is absolutely covered in intricate details from clothing elements like the fine grain in his shirt and trousers to seams, creases, and different textures like the hard, overlapping scales of his armored torso and the “leather” of his belt and boots. Meanwhile, Cap’s star spangled Vibranium shield looks amazing with its glossy finish. Even with all of that, Steve Rogers’ extremely lifelike facial portrait is the focus point of this presentation, and it can be enjoyed from a variety of angles thanks to expert paint application capturing photographic realism.
