February 2003 - The anime and manga motifs are hotter than ever, as displayed through the new Bomé: Tora Musume Figure, available exclusively through Diamond Comic Distributors!

Bomé is a famous Japanese sculptor who, for many years, created popular garage kits, then moved to work with Kaiyodo. Most well-known for his sexy, anime-style women, Bomé is regarded as a "fine artist" by his many fans, and even hosted an exhibit of his works in early 2001 in Paris, France! Now, fans of sexy anime and alluring art can exhibit their favorite artistic styling with this new figure.

Imported from Japan, this figure is a marvelous replication of Tora Musume (Tiger Girl), who was a character originally designed by Ryo Runmiya for the front cover of a comic book. Produced by Kaiyodo, creators of the hit Trigun and Neon Genesis Evangelion figure series, this non-articulated figure stands 8" tall, with a sickle and base, and is the second figure in the "Monsieur Bomé Collection". Tora Musume comes in a package designed by famous artist Takashi Murakami. Scheduled to ship in Summer 2003, this is one figure that no import toy collector or anime/manga fan will want to be without.

Fans can find this and other great products based on today's most popular animation characters at their local comics shop, or by contacting the Comic Shop Locator Service toll free at 1-888-COMICBOOK (1-888-266- 4226) or online at http://csls.diamondcomics.com.
