The next addition to the Marvel Bishoujo line is ... photo

I fully expected to see a few new Kotobukiya Bishoujo reveals on the road up to Comic-Con, and we now have at least one new one to add to the list. On their Facebook page, Kotobukiya have revealed Mystique as a future addition to the Marvel Bishoujo line, and she's in her classic costume. Really, check out the full illustration in the gallery: everything about it says "WIN" to me.

No word on when to expect Mystique (I'm guessing really late 2011 or early 2012, probably?), but she was pretty high on my most wanted list, so I'll be picking her up. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hawwwwt.

Hope they keep that pose....
You know, honestly something about the face and other elements bugs me and me more. Mystique is typically one of the more mature characters. In pretty much every continuity, including spin-offs, she's usually portrayed as being older and within the main continuity she's considerably older than she appears (in her natural form) due to her mutant power minimalizing the effects of aging (much in the same way regeneration slows aging in comics (as opposed to science fiction, where it's occasionally shown to speed it up >_>)).

I imagine that the face on the actual figure will probably look nicer. In most cases, the figures in this line do look slightly better than these sketches despite the figures themselves ranging on the meh scale for me.

All the same, it's a nice pose although I'd much rather have her seated on a giant skull or something.
This is amazing.
Okay so let's go down the list shall we?

My favorite color combination
One of my favorite characters
One of my favorite styles of art (love old fashion styles pinups)
One of my favorite Japanese artists

.....provided Koto doesn't fuck up royally, I think I can comfortably say DO.WANT
Can't wait to see a prototype!
It seems like a must have. Storm should be next!
I like the art and am sure I'll like the figure! I'm somewhat confused with the selection process though... while she has figured in a bunch of the X-Men movies, Mystique really is kind of a fringe character, (and a villain most of the time, no less).

Still, as long as the figure looks like the artwork, I'm in. :)

I too also want to see a prototype, because I have mixed expectations on how this will turn out

Oh, YES, I'd really like to see a Storm.
I sorta agree that the face doesn't quite fit with Mystique, but it doesn't bother me that much. What really bothers me is the SMG. I really hope that doesn't become a part of the final figure, because it's kinda ruining it for me.

How so? Mystique usually carries guns.
