Kotobukiya's Bishoujo series of statues has been going on for a while and recently took on some Hasbro properties, like My Little Pony, where you have a "beautiful girl" version of cartoon characters who may or may not be human or female. Now that line is adding Transformers to the mix where you will have a human girl version of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Below is the blurb that accompanies the video reveal.

Kotobukiya’s original statue series, BISHOUJO series, welcomes Transforms to the lineup!
Optimus Prime and Megatron will be joining the BISHOUJO series !
Pre-order for Optimus Prime is scheduled to start in Summer 2022.
Check out the latest info on BISHOUJO series from Kotobukiya’s official social media channels!

What is BISHOUJO Series?
Kotobukiya’s original statue series since 2009
The series reimagines characters from popular comic books, games, and movies from a Japanese perspective and transforms them into unique “BISHOUJO” style statues. Based on art by illustrator Shunya Yamashita, the series aims to provide figures inspired by Japanese art to fans throughout the world.

I like the details with the necklace and the briefcase.
Now we wait for the official high school AU.

Day 775 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Needs more defined abs to really pull of the Prime look.

Needs more boobage to pull off the Bishoujo look


I wont be able to buy these until after my son gets them -unless I buy two of each. * nope, it would be getting expensive -he is already wanting tidal wave, unicron and black arachnia bishoujos.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but these don't look as sexualised as I would have thought, so, if I'm right, kudos to the Kotobukiya.

I'm also happy they didn't go for the "Gundam-armour-onna-bikini-babe" look that so many other fan-artists, 3P and official model kit makers release. I'm still not sure if my Japanese girlfriend would be cool with me buying these though...

I wish they were smaller and cuter, because then she wouldn't mind, I think.

These are quite nicely done, get a feeling you want get Cullen vocing that Prime though

Lol. If they did that, it would remind me of this:

Darkstalkers says no....but no way Morrigan or Kings of Fighters stuff could be done smaller cup sizes.

They are probably on parr with the my little pony ones though. Think I prefer megatron with out cleavage to be fair.

Not a statue guy but that's quite funny. Though I kinda wish the Prime was yellow instead of red for Yellow Splendid Convoy reference kudos.

Yeah, I was looking at the MLP ones when comparing.

I would be more interested if they used similar styles to the "Borderlands" game. I'm not showing necessarily about the cell-shaded look, but rather the proportions of the physiques. Even with Moxxi and her sister aside (or not, if you take into account their rather well-done storylines), I think they would look cool done up like that. That or the women in "The Outer Worlds"? None of those females were "sexy" but they were "sexual" (ie., Had sex lives) and still looked like cool science fiction females, which didn't pander too the male gaze. I'm sure there is anime that depicts women in a similar way but still retains that certain "anime" aesthetic, right? Anyone here know what I'm trying to say and/or have any examples?

Seems to be a Hasbro mandate. The G.I.Joe Bishoujos are sexy without being hyper sexualized like the game, movie and comic figures while the MLP figs are more of a cute-sexy than anything. The Transformers seem to go both ways with Prime being closer to the MLP side and Megatron going the Joe way.

Oh, and these Bishoujos often get at least two repaints so Prime in Black or White and Megatron with black hair or even a Galvatron variant are entirely possible. Lady Jaye's repaint was of an obscure Indian figure and Scarlett's repaint was an obscure Argentinian figure. Meanwhile Baroness got her original cartoon/comic colors and later Crimson Guard uniform as a figure.





All of the MLP figures got their regular pony colors and clear hair. No repaint is too obscure here. Let's see some Bathing Ape camo Primes.

*Insert Shibamura Prime joke here*

Based on these designs, I think Megatron needs to be at least 2 cup sizes larger than Optimus. I really look forward to seeing more of these done. Hot Rod and Arcee top of my list. I do hope they don't just repaint Optimus to Make Madnus though, but they probably will.
I also expect to hear in the future more complaints about them doing an Arcee or Wingblade then any of the "male" transformers.
As far as the seekers go, so many possible repaints there, but I really hope they come up with some way to make them physically different as well as color wise.

Optimus is a big "meh" for me. The truck kibble are daf and the mechanic theme makes no sense.

But thay Megatron... holy mamma! Everything works superbly!
She will be mine.

Now, I expect a Winblade in full sexy geisha get-up with a katana.

Also, why not a pretty expensive Soundwave set? She would be a nice MILF surrounded by her minions who would be her young and cute children.

Also, why not Arcee in full Evrest mountain climbing gear?
The boots, coat, beanie, earmuffs, blue shades, and to top it off, a GINORMOUS backpack!

Finally, G2 Megatron. Military fatigues, paintball gun in hand and purple paintball stains all over... and a HUGE set of BADONKADONKS.

If anyone wants a word of approval for this line, I can't think of anything better than this picture.

That is beautiful!!!

Hahaha that Freddy pic is awesome. Still waiting for a Scream Bishoujo though (& Toxic Avenger) and the Ghostbusters one could do with a reissue/V2. Weirdly enough they couldnt make Leather face cute at all, even with two different statues -maybe they could make a cute version of fused Ratchet/Megatron some how

I thought the second Leatherface design was really egregious, but Bishoujo's aesthetic has always been ... not for everyone, let's say.

Kotobukiya: turning a big dial taht says "Horny" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

There's a notable increase in hunger (or "thirst", as the millennials are wont to say, for some odd reason) with some posts in this thread. Just to remind you all that we do have female fans here, so perhaps we could just cool things down a smidge please?

Cheers in advance.

I'd prefer shrine maiden/miko getup myself, but sure!

Something tells me that version of Soundwave would be much comfier for the cassettes to fit in the chest of...I'll get my coat.

Genius. Actual genius.

Launching missiles?

Implying that female fans being "thirsty" for hot bishoujo anime figures doesn't exist.
Like, are you living under a rock?







Should I post 20 other videos or links to proves that these women exist?
Also, a shocking truth. They don't have to be lesbians to appreciate and love the sexy.
You have some serious prejudices about a hobby you know nothing about.

And for the prudes, they shouldn't look up this thread. And if they do, well, it's on them. Jesus, no vegans would enter a BURGER thread unless it's to stir s#it up.

SO LET'S CELEBRATE THE ANIME TIDDIES!

I think it's 1 of those subjects that while acceptable to post and talk about, doesn't need a spotlight on it like it's being done here.

Otherwise, even though I'm not a big fan of this type of art, I do think they look well-done.
