More delicious Kotobukiya Bishoujo photo

It was only two days ago that we found pictures of the upcoming Ms. Marvel figure, and already pictures of another Kotobukiya Bishoujo figure have appeared! This time it's Wonder Woman, who funnily enough was the first DC character they teased. While I definitely prefer Ms. Marvel, Wonder Woman is looking pretty spectacular. Her hair alone is enough to sell me on this figure! However, this means that all of the figures teased at SDCC have been shown off.... I wonder what characters are next? Perhaps Huntress and Kitty Pryde?

The color looks really funky. The skin is like 2 shades off and something looks wrong with the lips & eyes. I do have to give them credit for doing a work decidedly less insipid than previous pieces, as the line has a trend of tossing the legs into dramatic poses. In contrast, the sculptwork is pretty fine and the face actually has a mature look from a side-angle (and if not for the hair, it almost reminds me of older character designs). The accessories on the base are a pretty good mix, but the normal corkwood look of the stand itself is a little lame. A more marble look would've been the intuitive choice, given the characters Grecian overtones.

My only other qualms are that the definition on her quadriceps looks a little funky (particularly the left one from the photos presented) and the fact they chose to sculpt a belly button into her metal belt.
Meant to say "less insipid design". Really wish there was an edit button or something.

I can't even keep track of everybody in the line so far. Seems like a non-stop parade. I think my most wanted additions would be Power Girl, Black Canary, and Nico Minoru although that one is obviously never going to happen. Canary seems like a definite shoo-in at some point and I imagine that on the Marvel side X-23 will probably warrant an inclusion some time down the road.
DAMN, I really like this one. I usually find wonder woman really bland aesthetically, but this is hot.

Pictures of Kotobukiya's X-23 are actually already up on Marvel's site. She's on their X-Force line though and not a Bishoujo figure. Sideshow also has a Beast comiquette coming. Someone should really get on that make an official post about it here.
What a great line- with each one I see I am moved even closer to buying
The reds in that are gorgeous! They remind me a little of Dark Phoenix, which I adore.
It's Wonder Woman and very pretty, so I'm going to get it, but I don't like the face D: Her tiara looks like it's too much in proportion to the delicate features, and is closing down on it.
Hmm, I know it's Wonder Woman, but I kinda think the muscle definition on the legs really goes againsty the Bishoujo line's astheics. that' and the previously mentioned bellybutton on her belt...

I myself would like a Nico Minoru too
Ooooh, I'm more of a Marvel person but this is really gorgeous! This is my favorite DC bishoujo so far. I really hope they make a X-23 or Lorna Dane bishoujo figures, but I'm pretty sure they have their eye on Elektra.
Doesn't look like a Shunya Yamashita designed figure.

True. Maybe DC didn't allow Shunya to mess too much with the design(although it can't be worse than Ms. Half Jacket).
I so would love a redesign ala Shunya's Eva Rei.
