Kotobukiya
Terry Bogard "Fatal Cutie" Bishoujo Statue Preview Photos,
Coming Spring 2023
|
|
|
|
 Kotobukiya
released the first official preview photos of their upcoming genderbent Terry
Bogard bishoujo collection character statue figure. The 1/7 scale PVC bishoujo ("pretty girl") statue based on
the artwork by Shunya Yamashita hilariously captures the Garou / Fatal
Fury series icon as he (she) appears in 2018's SNK
Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy . As you can see in the shiny new
photos (below), Terry's hat even says "Fatal Cutie" as it does
in the game. The statue will be released in Spring 2023. Pricing
has not yet been announced. Scroll down to take a closer look at the first
photos of the upcoming statue and its unique base.

In Japanese popular culture, a bishōjo,
also romanized as bishojo or bishoujo, is characterized as a
"cute" or "pretty girl" character. Kotobukiya is known
for turning 100s of popular video game / anime / comic characters into
this Shunya Yamashita-influnced bishoujo style in the form of their
high-end PVC statues.
Nope, not even the wild wolf Terry Bogard is safe from the "Rule
63" treatment... he's become so famous and popular in recent years,
after all, with all his many guest appearances! Makes sense.
One more time, check out the original concept artwork released a few
months back
from Shunya Yamashita (below), the same artist who also did a full
set of character panel illustrations
for TEKKEN
Tag Tournament 2 and TEKKEN 7). Hit
the links to see Yamashita's art for those games.

Additionally, Kotobukiya shared a new preview photo of their King of
Fighters '98: Dream Match Never Ends Mai
Shiranui statue, right alongside Shunya Yamashita's character art.
Needless to say, Kotobukiya's SNK bishoujo collection is looking mighty
nice! This image offers a nice comparison from artwork to finished statue!
