With the premiere of Agatha All Along on Disney+, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is diving deeper into the mystic arts, and what better time to revisit one of Marvel’s most iconic magical characters: Scarlet Witch? Wanda Maximoff’s journey from misunderstood Avenger to one of the MCU’s most powerful beings has enthralled audiences for years, and for many collectors, Kotobukiya’s Scarlet Witch Bishoujo statue is the perfect embodiment of her character.
In this post, we’ll explore the Scarlet Witch Bishoujo statue, its relevance given the latest Marvel series, and then dive into five more Marvel magical women we think deserve the Bishoujo treatment!
The Scarlet Witch Bishoujo Statue: Power, Grace, and Magic Combined
Kotobukiya’s Scarlet Witch Bishoujo statue perfectly captures Wanda Maximoff in all her powerful, yet graceful, glory. Based on Shunya Yamashita’s stunning artwork, the statue portrays Wanda in her classic red outfit, evoking both her Avenger past and her magical prowess. The swirling magic around her fingertips hints at her chaos magic, which she wields with ease.
The timing couldn’t be better for this statue, given Wanda’s pivotal role in the MCU. WandaVision (2021) took her character to new depths, exploring her grief, trauma, and unrestrained power. Played brilliantly by Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda’s transformation into the Scarlet Witch becomes central to the MCU, and with her appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), we see the full extent of her chaos magic.
In the comics, Scarlet Witch’s storylines are equally compelling. She plays a key role in major events like House of M, where her reality-altering powers change the entire Marvel Universe. Her descent into madness during Avengers: Disassembled and her redemption in later stories showcase the complexity of her character. This depth, coupled with her iconic costume and powers, makes her Bishoujo statue a must-have for collectors.

Now, let’s dive into five other magical women from Marvel’s mystical universe who would make an incredible addition to the Bishoujo lineup, along with links to their first comic appearances that you can add to your collection!
1. Agatha Harkness (MCU Version)
First Comic Book Appearance: Fantastic Four #94
Played by: Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision and Agatha All Along)
With the spotlight firmly on Agatha Harkness thanks to WandaVision and the newly released Agatha All Along, this ancient witch has become a fan favorite. Kathryn Hahn’s portrayal of Agatha added layers of mischief, humor, and menace to the character, making her one of the most entertaining villains in the MCU. The Agatha All Along series promises to delve deeper into her backstory, likely touching on her history with the Salem witch trials and her quest for greater magical power.
In the comics, Agatha has a long history as both a mentor and adversary to Wanda Maximoff. She first appeared as the nanny for Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four, but later revealed herself as a powerful witch. One of her most notable storylines involves training Wanda in the use of her chaos magic. Agatha’s role in the Vision and the Scarlet Witch limited series cemented her importance in Wanda’s life, even after her death.
A Bishoujo statue of Agatha (MCU version) would likely capture her dark, mysterious aura, with her flowing purple robes and powerful magical energy surrounding her. Given her rising popularity, a statue of Agatha could appeal to both comic book fans and MCU enthusiasts alike.
2. Clea
First Comic Book Appearance: Strange Tales #126
Played by: Charlize Theron (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness)
Clea is one of Marvel’s most iconic sorceresses and plays a pivotal role in the world of Doctor Strange. In the MCU, her debut came in a post-credits scene in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), where she is portrayed by Charlize Theron. As the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension, Clea is Doctor Strange’s student, lover, and eventual successor. Her regal, otherworldly presence, along with her mastery of the mystic arts, makes her a formidable ally and an incredible character to explore in both movies and comics.
In the comics, Clea has long been tied to Doctor Strange’s major storylines. She first appeared in Strange Tales #126 (1964) and quickly became a key figure in the battle against Dormammu, her uncle, who rules the Dark Dimension. Clea’s most notable arc came when she took over the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme from Doctor Strange, leading her own magical adventures across the multiverse.
A Bishoujo statue of Clea would capture her striking silver and white costume, her mystical powers, and her strong, regal demeanor. Fans of the MCU and Doctor Strange’s comic book stories would find this statue a perfect addition to their collection.
3. Magik (Illyana Rasputina)
First Comic Book Appearance: Giant-Size X-Men #1
Played by: Anya Taylor-Joy (The New Mutants)
Illyana Rasputina, better known as Magik, is one of the most powerful and complex sorceresses in Marvel’s roster. She is both a mutant and a sorceress, which makes her one of the few characters to straddle both the mystical and mutant worlds. Played by Anya Taylor-Joy in The New Mutants (2020), Magik is depicted with her iconic Soulsword and demonic armor, which manifest when she calls upon the dark power of Limbo.
In the comics, Magik’s storyline is filled with tragedy and triumph. She first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975), but it was her miniseries, Magik: Storm and Illyana (1983-1984), that delved into her time trapped in Limbo and how she became a powerful sorceress. Over the years, she has been a key member of the New Mutants and has helped the X-Men in countless battles. Her role in the X-Infernus and New Mutants series shows her struggle with the dark side of her powers and her eventual control over Limbo.
A Bishoujo statue of Magik would feature her demonic armor, her Soulsword, and her signature magical aura, making it a dynamic and fierce addition to any collection.

4. Morgan le Fay
First Appearance: Spider-Woman #2
Played by: Elizabeth Hurley (Runaways TV series)
Morgan le Fay is a villain with deep roots in both Marvel comics and Arthurian legend. As one of Marvel’s most powerful sorceresses, she has appeared in various storylines over the years, using her vast magical powers to manipulate the world for her own ends. In the Hulu series Runaways, Elizabeth Hurley brought Morgan le Fay to life as a cunning and dangerous foe, continuing her tradition of tormenting Marvel’s heroes.
In the comics, Morgan le Fay is a constant thorn in the side of many Marvel heroes, particularly Spider-Woman and the Avengers. Her major storyline in Avengers #1-3 (1998) involves her attempting to reshape reality using the mystical Twilight Sword, forcing the Avengers to confront her dark sorcery. As an ancient sorceress, Morgan’s powers are almost limitless, allowing her to battle some of the strongest heroes in the Marvel Universe.
A Bishoujo statue of Morgan le Fay would combine her dark, medieval-inspired attire with her commanding magical presence. With her flowing robes and magical scepter, this statue would capture the essence of her power and royalty.
5. Nico Minoru (Sister Grimm)
First Appearance: Runaways #1
Played by: Lyrica Okano (Runaways TV series)
Nico Minoru, known as Sister Grimm, is one of Marvel’s younger magical heroes. As a member of the Runaways, Nico wields the powerful Staff of One, which allows her to cast any spell she can think of—but only once. In the Runaways TV series, Lyrica Okano’s portrayal of Nico emphasized her struggle with her powers and her desire to protect her friends while navigating her family’s dark magical legacy.
In the comics, Nico’s story is filled with emotional depth and magical intrigue. She first appeared in Runaways #1 (2003) as part of the teenage group of heroes who discover their parents are secretly supervillains. Throughout the Runaways comic series, Nico comes into her own as a powerful sorceress. Her control over the Staff of One grows, but she constantly struggles with its limitations, as each spell can only be cast once. One of her most significant arcs comes in Avengers Arena (2012), where she must rely on her magical abilities to survive a deadly game orchestrated by the villain Arcade. Nico’s character development in Runaways and her role as a protector of her friends make her one of Marvel’s most compelling younger heroes.
A Bishoujo statue of Nico Minoru would be a perfect homage to her gothic style and unique powers. With the Staff of One in hand and her signature dark, magical energy swirling around her, Nico’s Bishoujo figure would be a fantastic representation of Marvel’s modern magical heroines.
Runners-Up: More Magical Women We’d Love to See!
Though these five magical women are our top picks for future Bishoujo statues, there are a few more Marvel sorceresses who deserve a mention:
- Enchantress (Amora): A long-time villain and occasional anti-hero, Amora the Enchantress is one of Asgard’s most powerful sorceresses. She has frequently crossed paths with Thor, using her magical abilities to manipulate and charm others. A Bishoujo statue of Amora would highlight her stunning beauty and devious nature.
- Enchantress (Sylvie/MCU Version): Introduced in the Loki Disney+ series and portrayed by Sophia Di Martino, Sylvie brings a modern, rebellious twist to the Enchantress legacy. A Bishoujo statue of Sylvie would capture her mischievous personality and unique style, making her a perfect addition to the collection.
- Satana Hellstrom: As the daughter of Satan, Satana is a powerful sorceress and succubus, often walking the line between hero and villain. Her devilish appearance and dark magic would translate beautifully into a Bishoujo statue, making her one of Marvel’s most striking magical characters.
Conclusion: Who’s Next in the Marvel Bishoujo Line?
With Agatha All Along and other Marvel shows highlighting the importance of magical characters in the MCU, now would be the perfect time to expand the Bishoujo line to include more of Marvel’s mystical women.
