MARVEL NOW! ROGUE ARTFX+

Kotobukiya’s series of Marvel Comics ARTFX+ Statues continues with the latest mutant hero in the Marvel Now lineup that has been taking the world by storm.  In 2012 the comic book company relaunched several titles, shifting some characters into different books and updating some  for  a  modern  audience.    More  than  anything,  it  provided  a  perfect  jumping  on  point  for  new readers.  Now the characters are brought to life as never before based on concept artwork by superstar artist  Adi  Granov,  who  was  also  responsible  for  the  preceding  Avengers  series.    Joining  previously released Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto, Magik, and Beast is the fan-favorite ROGUE! The power-absorbing mutant has never looked better, and now Rogue adds a striking dash of green to the  Marvel  Now  X-Men  series  with  this  fantastic  new  ARTFX+  presentation.    

Born  Anna  Marie  in Mississippi,  the  young  girl’s  mutant  powers  first  manifested  during  a kiss  with  her  childhood boyfriend.  Suddenly she found herself absorbing his life energy, and subsequently ran away, taking the nickname “Rogue” in the process.  When touching a mutant, she absorbs powers in addition to memories and skills, making her incredibly powerful and incredibly dangerous.  During her early career she battled the current Ms. Marvel and seemingly absorbed her flight and super strength permanently.  In the Marvel Now era Rogue got a new look celebrated here as she tightens her gloves for combat.  The mutant heroine stands in  a  cocky  pose  with  one leg  arched  forward,  her  body  shifted  to  the side  as  she  looks  directly  at  the threat with an expression on her face that says she’s totally unafraid.  Rogue wears bright green pants, a jacket in a slightly darker shade with white piping, thigh high black boots, and white gloves.  Her smile radiates her strength and spirit beneath her unique brown and white hair.

Sculpted  by  the  same  master  artist  who  did  the  Marvel  Now!  Avengers  series,  Junnosuke  Abe,  Rogue stands  over  7  ½  inches  tall  (in  the  ARTFX+  1/10th  scale)  with  magnets  in  her  feet  to  provide  perfect stability on her included display base.  The beautiful and powerful Rogue will make a great centerpiece in your display and the perfect addition to your Marvel Now X-Men collection.
