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?
PixelBlock's shop is full of sweet video game plushes, but this Mega Man amigurumi stood out to be. I'm not sure why; I'm not even that big of a Mega Man fan. It's a combination of the simplistic design, the attention to deta...

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 ...
After seeing the likes of Rufus added to Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line, some folks might be wondering, "What's the next Final Fantasy VII Play Arts Kai?" It's Vincent, apparently. Popping up just minutes ago on the Tw...

There is more to plamo than just robots. In the past couple of years, Pokemon has gotten in on the plamo action. With several evolution sets already in production, there's a long way still to go before 649. They're inching ev...
I haven't played a lot of Tekken games in my life, but I am enjoying Kotobukiya's Tekken Bishoujo figures. Overall, it's a solid line of figures. The latest one to arrive is Emilie de Rochefort, otherwise known as Lili. This figure has its unique charms, as I was pleased to discover during the review process.
Read on to see what I mean!
