Kabuki’s Ky-Ra Readies Her Axes for War
December 8, 2015 by dracs
Kabuki Models are working on a new beautiful 75mm barbarian woman for their latest range of sculpts and have published the latest WiPs of the intimidating Ky-Ra.
I have to say that while it is another case of the chainmail bikini warrior I've come to know and dread, I rather like this sculpt so far. The pose and level of motion here is fantastic and I like that each of her axes looks like it has a story behind it.
Kabuki will soon be moving on to add the detail and armour to her body. I'm hoping that, like the axes, we will see something characterful and imaginative in terms of her clothing, although from the concept art in Ky-Ra's existing bundle, I'm not holding out much hope there.
Then again, she is a barbarian, and if the Conan movies have taught me anything it's that a warrior's strength is directly proportioned to how much clothing they have.
All the same I think this is a promising start for the model, which could prove to be a good painter's and collector's piece.
Do you like Kabuki's Ky-Ra, or do you think it should be axed off?

Those axes look a bit too heavy. 🙂
Oh, c’mon Sam, Kabuki is famous for their beautiful sculpts that lack the proper amount of clothing on them, but then again I think it is their trademark in a way.
Man! That “babe” has as amazing pair of … eh … axes. Yeah, I meant axes. 😐
…i’m sure there is a ‘holding a big chopper’ joke in there for someone!
Just because someone has a nice pair of axes that doesn’t mean it is OK to stare at them…
Yeah stop looking at them axes when she’s got her boobs on display. She’s not got them on display for nothing.
Lovely mini but the axes do seem to be too big. Also, if it’s a barbarian it’d look cool with primitive metal jewelry or some such detail. I’m not going to comment on her nudeness other than to say that if you don’y like a mini, don’t fecking buy it.
I wish she had proper armor but other than that it’s rather good looking sculpt.
that is some set of horns she is carrying must be difficult to turn with them.
I would cut the horns off the new one to be honest I kinda dig the Magneto style helmet for some reason.
