Let me clarify. They look like little kid faces on grown up bodies.
on edit, from wiki "Bishōjo (美少女, literally "beautiful girl", also spelled bishoujo) is a Japanese term for a beautiful young girl, usually below young adult age. Bishōjo is not listed as a word in the prominent Japanese dictionary Kōjien. A variant of the word, biyōjo (美幼女) refers to a pretty girl before the age of adolescence."

I hate Kotobukiya statues on general principle.

I love Bishoujo statues, and have a few. But the W doesn’t.

You don't like you don't buy it, don't get all the internet anger at this, it's not Hasbro's doing, they are just making some money off a licensed property, which is important to show that there is interest in the brand at least. The existence of these statues doesn't change the fact that Hasbro is not making new toys

But I think for Hasbro to allow this, it makes Hasbro/GI Joe seem desperate and kinda cheap/sleazy. I liked how Scarlet and Lady Jay were portrayed as capable female military members. This just boils all the Joeverse females down as sex symbols, and baby-faced at that.

Yeah, cheap and sleazy.
Like the Marvel Universe. . . or DC . . . or Mass Effect . . . or the billion other franchises that have Bishoujo statues. Geez.

As this thread pertains to Joe statues, I was focusing on Joe/Hasbro. Hasbro didn't have to jump on the bandwagon. And I feel the same about those other properties as well. They are still sexualizing a toy for kids; with baby faces. Just not my preference.

It's not called baby face you know, it's called THEIR FACES ALL LOOK THAT WAY BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DERIVED FROM AN ART STYLE WHOSE MAIN FOCUS IS TO EXPRESS FACIAL EMOTIONS FROM A CHILDREN'S BOOK ARTIST WHO DERIVED IT FROM DISNEY BIG CAPS, on DERIVED FROM DISNEY ANIMATIONS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Tezuka ---------------------- https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/...Characters.jpg This is from Detective Conan, all of my nephews and nieces watched it. Serialized since the 1990s to today. Some of my coworkers own box sets of it. My boss has a kid who got posters of it at Anime Expo. It's beyond mainstream, look at the way they're drawn. ------------------------ This is from Bleach, courtesy of my nephew, a manga where the Protagonist is always running around beating some bad guys up with a giant sword shouting at the top of his lungs. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...path-prefix=en https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...path-prefix=en https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...path-prefix=en ---------------------------------- Notice anything about the way the characters are drawn? Jebus guys, What The Hell? I could understand if you guys hate the designer from Kotukiya's work but stop generalizing Anime and Manga. You can get in big trouble doing that. |

I am a big fan of the Bishoujo Statues, I have Power girl, 1st ed Psylocke and SDCC Psylocke. I would get more but not sure my wife would appreciate it. These seem to be a little less on the overly sexy skin showing side so she might be ok with these lol. I would kill for a Lady Jaye though instead of Scarlett.
