Kotobukiya
Kotobukiya is a Japanese collectibles powerhouse that has been producing high-end figures, statues, and model kits since the 1950s, with a shift to licensed pop culture properties starting in the 1990s. What began as a small toy store in Tachikawa has grown into one of the most respected names in the hobby industry, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with global fandoms.
Best known for its stunning ARTFX statues and the wildly popular Bishoujo line, Kotobukiya captures the essence of iconic characters from anime, comics, games, and sci-fi. Their sculpts strike a perfect balance between dynamic poses, expressive faces, and fine detail—whether it's a heroic DC character or a villain from My Hero Academia.
Kotobukiya is also beloved for its “model kit” approach to certain lines, such as the Frame Arms, Megami Device, and Hexa Gear series—designed for fans who want to build and customize their collections. These kits often feature interchangeable parts, swappable accessories, and deep lore, appealing to both builders and collectors.
With a commitment to quality, fan service, and innovative presentation, Kotobukiya continues to be a go-to brand for serious collectors around the world.
