Origin and character lore
Created by the legendary mangaka Buichi Terasawa in 1978, the space opera universe of Cobra left a profound mark on the history of Japanese comics and animation in the 1980s. Lady Armanoïde (Armaroid Lady), whose real name is Princess Emerald of the planet Sanborn, sacrificed her human form to bind her mind and consciousness to an indestructible cybernetic body of ‘Live Metal’. Now the unwavering partner, pilot of the spaceship the Turtle and the voice of reason for the famous Psychogun-wielding space pirate, she embodies a figure of absolute loyalty, mature charm and cutting-edge space technology. This premium bust from the “King Bust” range brilliantly captures the mechanical grace, metallic sheen and regal stature of this timeless icon of retro science fiction. It is an essential museum-quality collector’s item, ideal for enhancing the display cases of all collectors of exceptional statues who are nostalgic for the golden age of space opera manga.
