Pre-order Sideshow’s Exclusive Molotov Cocktease

Joining Sideshow’s Venture Bros. collectible line, the Molotov Cocktease Statue depicts the mercenary maven in outstanding detail. Crafted in 1:5 scale, each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. Capturing every curve of the Russian beauty, the Molotov Cocktease Statue is an outstanding addition to any display, the perfect addition to your Venture Bros. collection.

BACKSTORY
Molotov Cocktease, Brock Sampson’s lethal love interest, is a Russian mercenary who will perform any kind of espionage, manipulation or assassination needed – for the right price, that is. At first glance, ‘Mol’ seems to be a female copy of Brock: an unbelievably effective, chain-smoking killing machine, utterly irresistible, and seemingly impossible to kill. But unlike Brock she has absolutely no sense of loyalty and no compunction whatsoever to using firearms as the mission requires. She knows how to use her extraordinary beauty as a weapon and doesn’t hesitate to earn her name, especially when it comes to Brock Sampson.
