The CS Moore Studio Ltd. is pleased to announce its next Top Cow Productions, Inc. release: The Magdalena Artifacts Statue, sculpted by award-winning sculptor Clayburn Moore. The 1/6 scale statue of Top Cow's revered warrior-protector will be part of Moore's Signature Collection series of beautiful female statues.

In the Top Cow Universe, the Magdalena bloodline reaches back to Christ Himself. In each generation, there is born a daughter who acts as the Church's avenger against supernatural evil. The Magdalena Artifacts Statue will present the latest incarnation of The Magdalena, Patience, as featured in Top Cow's series drawn by Nelson Blake II.

"Collectors have been asking for a new Magdalena statue for some time," said Moore. "I'm looking forward to taking on this beautiful, powerful character and presenting her in all her relentless strength."

"The classic Magdalena statue released by Moore is one of my personal favorite pieces in my office," said Top Cow publisher Filip Sablik.  "I can't wait to see what Clayburn himself does with the current design of the character. Each piece he creates is more beautiful and evocative than the last!"

The Magdalena Artifacts Statue is scheduled to ship in Summer 2011. Pricing, edition size and preorder details will be announced on the CS Moore Studio website as they become available.

NOTE: Image shown is not intended to represent the statue's pose. We will release more artwork to show the statue's inspiration when we release "in progress" pics in the coming months.
