Kotobukiya unveils a new Bishoujo Tekken line

Kotobukiya unveils a new Bishoujo Tekken line photo


Kotobukiya's popular Bishoujo line has been mostly restricted to comic book gals, with the rare movie heroine thrown in for good measure. But now, it seems like they have realized that Shunya's style is suited for a much wider range of figures. In particular, girls from fighting games!

Via some VERY tiny pictures on their Twitter, Kotobukiya recently announced the addition of a Tekken Bishoujo line. Maybe it's a coincidence, but new games were recently announced in the line as well! However, the line is based on designs for Tekken Tag Tournament 2. So far we have a painted prototype of Christie Monteiro and an announcement of a second in the line, Alisa Bosconovitch. Christie looks awesome, with a dynamic pose and vibrant colors. You can also tell that her hair is clear PVC, and I am sure we all know how I feel about that!

Pre-orders wlll probably open soon, with Christie slated for a fall/winter release. The line is going to be 1/7 scale so it will fit in perfectly with the DC line and the more recent Marvel girls, and I think it's safe to assume that we will be seeing more than just these two characters. So, Tomopeeps, what do you think of this new line, and what characters would you like to see get the Bish treatment?

Jun or else!
Although I dislike the bisho line, Lili would be an excellent fit if they didn't dial her age back any younger than it already is >_>

Also liked Alisa's look, so it's nice that at least that one is confirmed. Kinda weird that they'd start with Christie, since I thought Nina Williams was probably the more popular character (although maybe it was influenced by her game flopping).

And if they ever do a bishonen line, I'm really looking forward to seeing Kuma in it =p And also King. And you know what? Heihachi.
Of course Shunya had to make Christie's costume even more revealing then it already is. As a huge fan of Tekken this figure really disappoints me, the Tekken girls aren't supposed to be over the top sexual, excluding Anna. Christie's normal costume looked perfectly fine and DID NOT need assless chaps..
I'm getting sick of these tie-ins, I want original Shunya designs to be turned into figures, that said I think a Morrigan Aensland bishojo would be a perfect fit, though that's capcom.
I don't care for the character but tha paintjob and hair os so awesome! I think the PVC looks even better than the illustration.

Would want Lilith. She'd be a perfect fit in terms of the ages Shunya makes this characters look >_>
More Bishoujos !!!!!!!!! I think this is awesome and a welcome addition to the comic book characters. I can't wait to see what else they have, maybe some retro video game heroines?
I like. Maybe we'll see a Soulcalibur Bishoujo line, now that Koto is doing video game stuff (Namco games, no less)?
I'd really love to see a Shiranui Mai from King of Fighters, which I'm pretty sure we'll get eventually.

I really love Shunya and want to have hope for this line but lately the Bishoujos have been disappointing. Here's hoping Koto steps up their game.
hope they do Ling Xiaoyu, Kitty Pryde, Storm and Princess Peach
its cool that characters from tekken is getting figure treatment and i like shunya's work but...it seems like the faces for the figures dont really change much...and it kinda makes christie and alisa look...asian...
I wouldn't mind Lili or Ling Xiaoyu (though I like her costume in 4 more than the current one) if the faces turned out good.
Well, fighting game characters appeal more to me than superheroes. I like Xiaoyu though and her look doesn't seem like the best fit for a Shunya T&A redesign. I'll probably cringe at the result. Still keen to see more from the line.

I'm not familiar with Christie but here she looks fun and energetic, easily beats the other dancer women you see in anime-styled statues who look totally vacant too often.
Oh yes!! Kinda weird how they went with Christie first but I guess she is ShunYamas favourite?

Hoping to see a Lili, Nina, Anna and Zafina down the line.

And a Capcom/SNK Bishoujo line.

Kotobukiya please don't disappoint with QC and size issue..please.

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku 2.0 is ready to go

It feels like forever and a decade ago that we found out that (unsurprisingly) Hatsune Miku would embody Nendoroid #300. I guess it also helps that the announcement was rather forgettable, but this release preview by Mikatan ...
