Marvel gets Shunya Yamashita to create an anime-inspired Rogue, finally East meets West in a super sexy way
by Bryan Coffee on 12/04/2008 12 comments

Truth be told I was never a fan of DC's Ame-comi line of Japanese-inspired takes on classic DC characters. They just didn't look right to me, plus I was never a DC fan growing up anyway. Marvel has decided to throw their hat into the anime figure ring, and I must admit that they are doing a far better job of doing so.

Topless Robot, and our dear own community member bovine, have brought us word of an upcoming Rogue figure coming out in June of next year. The power-stealing femme fatale is designed by Tomopop favorite Shunya Yamashita, and I'm sure we can all agree that he did a spectacular job on it. Everything from her classic suit, to her expression, to even her exquisitely designed body have the distinct look of a Yamashita illustration, making this Rogue a very desirable figure.

Rogue will be available in June and will retail at roughly $60, however I did manage to find it on KidNemo for only $48. Those of you who are interested best get their preorders in quick, I doubt they'll be around for long.
