Red is my favorite color but you're absolutely correct- on Bastet here it (rust) doesn't work, period. Instead make it overall white and use some gold and emerald accents. This rust red could be a trim along the border of the skirt.
Like I said about Anubis, they should have gone with the solid glossy black instead of this dark charcoal.

I was expecting these variants eventually, however I thought they would go for a way glossier, deeper black, as so many of the actual Anubis statues/busts are depicted.
Probably not much of a surprise today, but the next item to be revealed as part of our 2025 Retailer Appreciation Wave is the second of the Figura Obscura: Gods of Ancient Egypt figures the mother of cats, Bastet!Bastet was part of our first Figura Obscura drop in 2024 where she originally came alongside the Anubis figure. This new version will be available individually, as will the new Anubis we revealed yesterday. She comes with all the accessories and items that the first release was packed with, including the cat statue, extra heads, hands, feet, and more. This edition is painted in a striking black skin tone with red soft goods and blue and gold accents.
The Black and Red Bastet will be offered for preorder for $69.99. This figure will ONLY be available from our worldwide network of retailer partners!
