Toy Fair 2011: Kotobukiya announces Ghostbusters x Bishoujo photo

Lately, a lot of you have been voicing concerns that Shunya Yamashita's Bishoujo line has looked more like cosplayers as comic vixens than the characters themselves. Well, I'm here to tell you these concerns are 100% legitimate as with the announcement of the newest Bishoujo line, Ghostbusters. Yes, Ghostbusters.

I really don't know what to say here. I love Ghosbusters. I love Yamashita's art. For some reason, I just can't bring myself to love this. I definitely see the appeal that many are going to have to this piece. Maybe I'm just channeling Bill Murray's cynicism, but I'm just not feeling it. It's scheduled to be released this August for the price of US$59.99. Given the track record of Kotobukiya, I have no doubt that there will be a slimed variant down the line. Let us know what you think of this new announcement in the comments below!

[Update] Stay tuned for an exclusive look at the sculpt later on tonight from our team at the show!

WTF that completely blindsided me I never would have expected this

I don't like it much either, although The drawing is nice.

I just want Shunya to go back to making original creations I miss all the purples and pinks in his drawings

Are we going to get to see a slimmer Bishoujo?
It's like Rule 63 in statue form. I am interested if the statue looks fairly decent I'll get it.
what next? back to the future bishoujo statues? the karate kid? the goonies?

OH, THE HUGE MANATEES!
would definitely call
No, just no. You leave my Ghostbusters alone Koto. You stop this line right now or else. Don't turn my Ghostbusters in fucking girls.
The design looks intriguing, at the very least. As for whining about this, whats the point? Just be glad that this isn't a Lady Deadpool statue.
I might have to turn this one into my new catchphrase: haters to the left.

She's cute! I don't see the problem, here.
Ill admit I'm intrigued by the idea of this, but I have also sworn off of all Shunya figures after repeatedly being disappointed by the production (compared to prototype) versions of past figures. The only Shunya figures that come out right nowadays are GKs and that's because they aren't painted on an assembly line.
I kinda wish her hair was longer.
I'd be down probably. As long as I have the money for it :P
ill take 2
I'm starting to really dislike Koto >_<
actually, this is how i thought the bishoujo line should be..a reimagining of the characters like what shunyama did with rei and asuka, instead of just shunya drawing back the characters.
although that did get its own haters as well..
and i kinda like this, very shunyama.
Haters gonna hate. As a big Shunya fan, I'm firmly on the DO WANT side of the fence.
this figure is most def, TOO HOT TO HANDLE , TOO COLD TO HOLD!!!!

THIS SHIT IS HOT!! HATERS SHUT UP fo' i has to Roll out THE TRAP on DAT ASS!!
