Ian Nottingham Action Figure from Witchblade (Moore Action Collectibles)

This is a vintage Ian Nottingham action figure from the 'Witchblade' comic book series, produced by Top Cow and Moore Action Collectibles. The figure, sculpted by Sugita Susumu, stands approximately 6-7 inches tall and is sealed in its original 'New in Box' (NIB) blister pack packaging. The character features long dark hair and intricate black, silver, and gold-trimmed armor with 'Witchblade' aesthetic flourishes. Included accessories are two samurai swords (katanas) and a circular display stand featuring the teal Witchblade emblem. The packaging consists of a heavy-duty cardboard backer board with high-gloss graphics and a transparent plastic blister shell. Notable condition issues include 'shelf wear' such as significant softening and whitening of the cardboard corners, edge fraying throughout the header, and slight creasing. The plastic bubble appears mostly clear with minor surface scratching and some lifting from the backing at the bottom edge. This item dates back to the late 1990s, specifically around 1998, representing the era of high-detail collector figures pioneered by Clayburn Moore's studio. The craftsmanship is noted for its early emphasis on paint applications and accurate comic book proportions compared to standard mass-market toys.
