Release date: Q1 2012
Manufacturer: Kotobukiya

Christie Monteiro クリスティ・モンテイロ Kurisuti Monteiro is a character from the game series Tekken, first introduced in Tekken 4, Christie is the granddaughter of the Capoeira mestre who taught Eddy Gordo the art of Capoeira. Under Gordo's tutelage it took just two years for Christie to become a skilled fighter, developing her own unique dance like series of movements.

Game designers had noted in Tekken 3, that Capoeira's movements were more suitable for a female, as a result they included Christie instead of Eddy Gordo in Tekken 4.

Masane Amaha Witchblade Figure from Kotobukiya




Masane Amaha PVC figure Standing 260mm tall on a custom display Witchblade logo base, from manufactures Kotobukiya, based on the DVD version of the principal character from Anime Series Witchblade.

The Anime series starts six years after a devasting event which ravaged the city of Tokyo. Masane was discovered at ground zero, holding a baby and having no recollection of how she got there. Returning to Tokyo with the child, now called Rihoko, whom she cares for as a daughter, she discovers that the mysterious jewel attached to her right wrist is actually a legendary artifact known as the Witchblade. The series plays out as Masane gets herself involved in the struggle for power between a huge corporation and a government agency, while trying to live her life peacefully with her daughter.

Trivia: Due to the original version of the witchblade costume showing far too much skin, the TV series recolored most of the areas in black. These blackened portions were returned to the original coloring for the DVD release of the series.
