Evil Supergirl Bishoujo Statue

Evil Supergirl Bishoujo Statue

This description is for the Evil Supergirl Bishoujo Statue from Kotobukiya. The product page identifies it as a 2011 San Diego Comic-Con limited release, described as a repaint of the original Supergirl Bishoujo statue inspired by a Supergirl storyline in which Lex Luthor used black kryptonite to create an evil version of Kara. The page also notes that the statue was designed by Shunya Yamashita, sculpted by Takahashi Masahiro “Gill Gill”, made of PVC, and stands nearly 10 inches tall.

Dark Repaint, Classic Bishoujo Style

The Evil Supergirl Bishoujo Statue is one of those variants that instantly stands apart on a shelf. Rather than simply swapping a few paint details, Kotobukiya reimagined the original Supergirl Bishoujo with a darker personality and a more dangerous presence. The result still feels unmistakably part of the DC Bishoujo line, but with a sinister twist that gives the figure a completely different mood.

That contrast is what makes this piece so collectible. You get the same stylish Shunya Yamashita-inspired silhouette that fans love from the original Supergirl release, but the darker repaint transforms Kara from bright and heroic into something far more mischievous and intimidating. It is exactly the kind of variant that works as both a companion piece and a standalone centerpiece.

Design, Sculpt, and Display Appeal

Designed by Shunya Yamashita and sculpted by Takahashi Masahiro “Gill Gill”, this statue keeps the elegant, playful proportions that define the Bishoujo line while pushing the character into darker territory. The pose is light and dynamic, giving the statue motion and attitude, while the facial expression helps sell the “evil” interpretation. From the hair flow to the cape movement, the sculpt has the clean anime-inspired energy that made early DC Bishoujo releases so memorable.

Another fun detail is the inclusion of Supergirl’s cat companion with a black cape, which reinforces that this is not just a palette swap but a full “evil counterpart” concept. Displayed next to the standard Supergirl Bishoujo, the two statues make a striking pair. On its own, this version adds a rare darker accent to a shelf full of brighter DC heroines.

Material, Scale, and Collector Presence

Kotobukiya produced this piece in PVC, and the product page lists it at nearly 10 inches tall. That size makes it substantial enough to stand out without overpowering a display case. Like many Bishoujo statues, it works especially well in a mixed collection where you want a stylized, character-driven look rather than a hyper-realistic one. The sculpted lines stay clean, the paint applications are meant to emphasize the contrast between the darker costume treatment and the familiar Supergirl iconography, and the overall effect is polished and highly display-friendly.

Supergirl in Comics: Kara Zor-El’s Legacy

Supergirl is Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin from Krypton and one of DC’s most enduring legacy heroes. Since her debut, Kara has represented both the wonder of Kryptonian power and the emotional challenge of adapting to life on Earth. Her stories often focus on identity, belonging, and proving herself as more than simply “Superman’s cousin.” That emotional core is part of why alternate versions like Evil Supergirl are so compelling—they twist a character defined by compassion and heroism into something unsettling and unexpected.

First Appearance and Evil Counterpart Context

Supergirl first appeared in Action Comics #252 (1959), in “The Supergirl from Krypton!”—a landmark issue that introduced Kara to DC continuity and established her as a major part of the Superman family. The “evil” angle referenced by this statue comes from later comic storytelling involving black kryptonite, which created a darker counterpart to Kara and gave collectors a memorable alternate take on the character.
