New HORROR BISHOUJO M3GAN figure unveiled by Kotobukiya
Figure manufacturer Kotobukiya has given fans a first look at its upcoming “HORROR BISHOUJO M3GAN” statue, unveiling both the initial illustration and the sculpted prototype.
Kotobukiya is renowned in the collectibles industry for its diverse range of figures and model kits, spanning popular anime, manga, video games, and Western entertainment franchises, including DC, Marvel, and Star Wars.
Among its most distinctive lines is the Bishoujo series, which reinterprets various characters into the elegant Japanese “beautiful young girl” aesthetic.
This particular series often features unexpected transformations of horror icons under the HORROR BISHOUJO sub-brand, presenting them with a unique stylistic twist.
The newly revealed M3GAN statue continues this tradition, drawing inspiration from the 2023 horror film “M3GAN,” which introduced audiences to a lifelike, artificially intelligent doll that develops self-awareness and a menacing protective instinct.
The design for the statue comes from the celebrated artist Shunya Yamashita, known for his character designs and pin-up style illustrations, particularly those that form the basis for many of Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo figures across various licenses.
Fans eager to see the initial artistic vision can now view Yamashita’s illustration, providing insight into how the film’s chilling android has been re-envisioned for this collectible format.
The accompanying reveal of the sculpt offers a tangible preview of the statue’s physical form, allowing collectors to appreciate the intricate details and pose that bring this reinterpretation of M3GAN to life.
Further details regarding the statue’s release date and pricing are expected to be announced by Kotobukiya in the coming months, building anticipation among collectors of both horror memorabilia and the Bishoujo series.
