Ever wonder what Wolverine would look like as a teenage girl? No? Well, too bad! Marvel already figured it out for you. X-23 is a genetic clone of Wolverine, and as gimmicky as that notion is, she actually turned out to be a really cool character. I have several X-23 pieces in my collection, and this is the second I’ve posted as part of my collectibles Project 365, following up the Bowen Designs X-23 statue I posted last month. This one is part of the Marvel bishoujo line from Kotobukiya, featuring anime-inspired designs of Western comic and pop culture characters.
Back in 2011, Bowen Designs created a X-23 statue as a website exclusive. In some ways it’s a shame that they made this one such a limited exclusive, because X-23 is a great character, and this statue looks fantastic. She was limited to only 500 pieces, and I managed to snag one into my collection at that time. The limited nature made her hard for a lot of folks to get before she sold out, but it did help rocket her value up on the secondary market.
