Batman Beyond Resin Bust – Version 2

Somebody must be buying these resin busts of characters from DC’s Animated Universe. Diamond Select Toys has created a second version of the Batman Beyond bust with a new pose (the original showed Terry McGinnis with arms crossed), this time getting ready to unleash a Batarang.

Kotobukiya Ikemen Nightwing Statue

I always wondered if there was a male counterpart to the bishoujo statues, and apparently there is, ikemen. According to Wikipedia,

Ikemen is a term commonly used in Japan since the mid-2000s to refer to metrosexuals.

The term ikemen is derived from the Japanese words ikeru or iketeru and menzu. Ikeru and iketeru mean “cool”, “good” and “exciting”, while menzu stands for “men”. This term has been used to reference good looking men featured in Japanese pop culture.

And, here we have a Nightwing ikemen statue from Kotobukiya. I love everything about this except for the face sculpt.
