"The BISHOUJO series finally reaches its 15th anniversary! For this momentous occasion, Kotobukiya is adding one of the biggest icons of Japanese horror to the HORROR BISHOUJO lineup-Sadako! Shunya Yamashita has once again lent his talent to stylize the delicate expression on this BISHOUJO.
To honor the standard expression that fans often see with Japanese ghosts, she can be displayed with long black hair covering her face. To make for an even more luxurious set, yet another replacement part is included that shows a beautiful eye with a seemingly lonely expression peeking out from under her hair. With these expressions, fans can select what level of horror they want this statue to be.
Her iconic white dress utilizes clear parts to recreate the appearance of skin that shows through a thin garment after becoming wet from the water in the well. Her finger and toenails are peeled off from scratching and scrabbling inside the well, making for a painted style that almost seems like a red manicure.
The design depicts a scene where Sadako seems to float using her strong psychic powers, hovering above a pile of videotapes. The immense amount of unraveled tape being pushed out of the cassettes can also be freely arranged around the statue. For extra decoration, two rolls of spare tape are included wrapped inside of a videotape-styled box so fans can use any amount they prefer to decorate this piece.
To add to these features, something a little bit different from the rest is hidden among these videotapes. Add her to your collection today to find out what this piece holds!
Included for KOTOBUKIYA Shops and Official Overseas Distributors:
- Parts to Recreate Hair Covering the Face
- Parts to Recreate the Face Showing
- Horror Face Part
The Horror Face Part is exclusive to the Kotobukiya shops and to our official overseas distributors.
It stands approx. 17 cm tall and comes in a window box.
Terms Of Pre-Order
Pre-orders require us to commit to an order with a specific manufacturer which we are then liable for. If you place a pre-order, the minimum 10% deposit of total guide price required to place a pre-order is non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. The only exception to this is if the price quoted on your order is going to change by more than 10% when the item arrives.
ETA's can vary and are not guaranteed arrival date. We list the date given by manufacturer, but delays can and do happen. We cannot cancel your pre-order, even if delays are substantial, so please take this into account when ordering. We regularly update the product listing with the latest ETA. Keep an eye on the listings after you order to see when your product is due to arrive.
Orders must be settled within 30 days of the product coming into stock. Failure to settle within this period may mean you lose your deposit and pre-ordered item.
Prices quoted can be subject to change as items are only billed by manufacturers when they ship to us. We do everything we can to give you an accurate buy price, but pre-orders that are far away can vary in price if exchange rate varies from now until then.
Postage fees can also vary depending on the size of the product, type of shipping and number of boxes required. We suggest you pre-order each item individually as that way each pre-order's postage is paid separately and can ship as it comes into stock.
Why Pre-Order?
Many items are produced in limited quantities. Pre-Ordering looks to ensure that you get one of the limited numbers produced.
What happens when I Pre-Order?
Upon receiving your Pre-Order, we will place an order with the appropriate distributor for your item. The distributor in turn places the order with the manufacturer who then ensure that the item is shipped to the distributor when it's ready. This means we are liable for the order from that point which is why we charge you a deposit to ensure you're serious on purchasing the item.
Why are some pre-order ship dates so far away?
A number of manufacturers produce items in batches according to demand. The manufacturing process takes considerable time as the items are often hand painted.
What if I change my mind and want to cancel?
Should you wish to cancel your Pre-Order you can do so, but you will lose either the deposit you paid, or if you paid in full or part-payments, 10% of the expected guide price of the item. The reason for this is we will have placed an order for your item and we are liable for it.
Is the price you list the final price I will pay?
Most of the time, the guide price will be correct. But as we buy most pre-orders in from abroad, the price can vary due to exchange rate variance. Sometimes that can work in your favour and sometimes against. When the item is ready to ship from the distributor, we will inform you of any price changes. If prices have risen by over 10%, you have the right to cancel order if you so wish and we will return your deposit.
Are Pre-Orders guaranteed to arrive?
Most of the time they are pretty reliable. However, sometimes the manufacturer can run into production or licensing problems and occasionally items are cancelled either temporarily or permanently. Of course if this happens we will refund your deposit.
What happens when my Pre-Order comes into stock?
When your item comes into stock you have 30 days to pay the remaining amount due (Guide Price less your deposit) or risk losing your Pre-Order and deposit.
Can I pay off my pre-order in staged payments rather than one big sum?
We can send you stage payments if you wish to pay in advance of your product shipping. Simply email us to let us know your preferred payment stages. We do ask that the balance is settled at maximum 30 days after the product is in stock.
