Honestly, given that in the entirety of the Bishoujo line there have been maybe 5 designs I've liked, odds are that the announcements won't thrill me. I'm assuming that this isn't limited to the comic franchises, as the header (Batgirl, Emma Frost, Black Widow?) might imply? I'd wager that we'll see at least one new Tekken one then probably at least one DC and Marvel. Actually, will the unveil include prototypes for designs or things previously announced? We supposedly have a Storm down the pipeline, right?

In regards to multiple franchises: probably. :)
In regards to the header: yeah, it's a placeholder, lol.
In regards to Storm: I really hope. She's one of the most requested every time they do a Facebook poll.
Very cute illustration that completely ignores the actual character. Then again, most people don't even know who Jaina Solo is so I can't imagine she'll catch as much flack as other characters. And they do get *some* leeway considering there isn't as much/many official art/depictions of her as other characters. Again, liking that illustration. I can't wait to see how Koto fucks up the final version, though.

How does this ignore the character, by the way? She's a brunette jedi who later in the series adds fighter pilot to her title.

Well, that's an incredibly superficial summation of her character >_> At any rate, were you mostly following the Young Jedi novels, the New Jedi Order novels, some of the other novels, or just the comics?
I wasn't even aware they had the licensing for SW =x When did they acquire it?
And out of all the characters they could have gone with (movie characters especially), I'd have to say it's at least an unusual choice

It is, but I'm not about to get super-detailed on here. lol And anyway, I've read all of the YJ/NJO novels, not the comics though.

They've had it for a good long while. They have several ArtFX statues they've done that I'll one day own.
Anyway, to the Koto haters, I hear you. But, Koto's been doing much better lately with some of their Bishoujo releases, especially regarding bases and fixing some of the ugly seams prevalent in their early releases. They're no Alter or GSC for that matter, but they're improving. And you can't argue with the price for these things.

Storm is just something they have to do now. I just feel like I would be incredibly disappointed if it wasn't. Hopefully, they'll do right and make it Storm. Also, I'm really surprised they haven't done Cortana from Halo yet. Given how much Koto LOVES clear PVC, it's a no-brainer for them.

I don't see Tali either unless her face gets shown in ME3 and it's not hideous. Andres and I were going back and forth about what might show up; we both agreed if they can get the OK to do it, Cortana would be a good fit. They love them some translucent PVC, don't they? :)
WTF did they do to Asuka, WHAT THE HELL
According to the Bishoujo line, you can only be enticing if you show off your goods.

Pretty much this, except sometimes not. *points to Jaina*
You know, I feel incredibly stupid for not even considering Cortana. Who would be a better fit? I was thinking something more along the lines of a female Spartan with battle damage, a la Lucy. I can't imagine that not happening now.

I'm guessing this has to do with creative liberties. Lucas probably doesn't want them whoring up established characters, but Namco? No problem.
Didn't we see that Asuka before? Kinda want to see how these turn out but, at the same time, none of the announcements really excites me.
====="They've had it for a good long while. They have several ArtFX statues they've done that I'll one day own. "
Meh, forgot that the main division had it. I was thinking of approval at the line level.
====="Oh, and please let the last one either be Storm, Firestar, or Starfire. All three are characters could use some attention. "
If they did Starfire they'd probably opt for a conservative design. I remember when they finally brought out Poison Ivy, which is the queen of all excuses for being scantily clad and suggestively postured, yet she ended up looking tasteful.
Asuka: ): I dont mind the faces of the bishoujo line, but I dislike them changing the costume so much. Do not want, which is a shame since I like the character.
Black Widow: actually make sense. I'd make sense to make a version that fits I. With the bigger newer figures, and I hadn't picked up her yet.
Storm: must get :D

You bring up a good point with Black Widow. She is smaller, so this is actually a bigger figure, most likely. Explains why they chose to redo her, as well.
Storm? Black Widow? Jiana?! It's all the same face! IT FEELS LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS![/quote]
lol, certainly know that feeling
I am pleased. BI But where the fuck is my Harley Quinn, Koto? WHERE IS SHE.[/quote]
We have an answer on that, actually. I think Kris, Pedro and Jackie will mention this, but she had to go back to the drawing board when they separated Ivy and Harley into two separate figures.

Yeah, we won't be seeing her because they're still fiddling with the illustration the sculpt will be based on. Don't worry, we were just as anxious as you are XD

Ahhh, ok. BI
well hopefully the fact that she's gone back to the drawing board just means she'll look especially awesome, right!?!??!?
