This figure is sculpted from the concept art of Ricken, who is active in drawing DC COMICS illustrations.
This time Bruce Wayne the Batman joins as the vol.5 lineup in this series! The appearance of the Dark Knight who leads Robin to protect the Gotham City, is faithfully recreated by the sculpture of his strong and muscular body, his standing pose and the facial expression which shows the Dark Knight’s unbreakable iron will.
By using the alternative head part, you can recreate the familiar masked Batman.
Furthermore, a “Smiling ver.” head part is included in the First Press product! You can recreate a different Bruce Wayne that he is smiling.

The third IKEMEN to join the lineup is Batman’s third sidekick, the Red Robin Tim Drake! The high level of care taken in the sculpting of Tim’s youthful and toned form makes this IKEMEN a must for all Red Robin fans, and the subtle details of his eye‐catching red costume are expertly recreated with a stunning paint job. The statue comes with an interchangeable head, allowing you to display Tim with our without his mask! Additionally, the 1st edition of the statue will come with a bonus face part allowing you to display Tim with a more serious expression that provides a nice contrast with the original lighthearted smile on the default face part. Following up Red Robin as the fourth entry in the IKEMEN series is Damian Robin!

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Kotobukiya is branching out into an all new statue concept with IKEMEN. Similar to the popular Bishoujo series, this fantastic expansion is a lineup of popular characters re-designed by the famous Japanese illustrator Ricken in the Japanese Ikemen (“handsome men”) style. Following up after the debut Nightwing is a true bad boy in the Batman Family, RED HOOD! After Dick Grayson left Bruce Wayne’s side to branch out on his own, Batman needed a new sidekick and found the young hoodlum Jason Todd to be his replacement. Todd excelled as Robin but had a violent edge, and the boy unfortunately met his end at the hands of the Joker. Even death can’t keep a good character down, and Jason returned to life and became the anti-hero known as Red Hood, who takes his place as the second Ikemen style hunk with a special first edition with bonus part!
Jason Todd has always been a rebel, and here he stands in a defiant pose just begging you to look at him. As Red Hood he wears a super cool (and intricately sculpted) costume with black boots, reinforced black trousers, an armored black shirt decorated with a red bat logo, and a brown leather jacket with red accents and silver zippers. Of course, he wouldn’t be in the Ikemen style unless his pose and outfit highlighted Jason’s slim but muscular physique, and as Red Hood stands with one leg extended and one hand behind his head he shows off his toned body. The dark hero comes with interchangeable heads so you can customize your display: a full Red Hood helmet, a bare head revealing an aloof expression on his face and his black hair with a white streak, and exclusive to this first edition a bonus head wearing a sleek red domino mask! Sculpted by the talented Naoya Muto, Red Hood stands in 1/7 scale. Add this handsome hero to your collection and be on the lookout for more upcoming Ikemen Statues from Kotobukiya like Red Robin!

These PVC statues are perfect for display alone or alongside other Kotobukiya Bishoujo and IKEMEN statues!
The first production edition includes an extra interchangeable face part (Nightwing with his lips slightly parted)!
Sculpted by the talented Naoya Muto, Nightwing poses with his finger to his lips as if asking you to keep his identity a secret. He comes with two interchangeable head parts so you can display him with or without his mask. The mask part he is holding is also removable.
