We haven't been in the loop of Kotobukiyas latest works, but thanks to a heads-up we got from an anonymous follower we learned that they're still creating new My Little Pony bishoujo statues!

We haven't heard from Kotobukiya for a few months but we finally got some news for you! After the reveal of Applejack in February the last member of the Mane Six now receives their limited Edition too: Rainbow Dash. 

Just like the other limited editions her skin color has changed to reflect the one of her pony counterpart. Her hair is now also translucent together with glitter and combined with Rainbow Dash'es hair it looks absolutely stunning! The base itself is also transparent and her box has a nice glitter/holographic effect too!

According to the official blogpost she will be released October 2022. Pre-order should be opening soon. We'll add those to this post once they have been spotted.

Have more images and the official description below:

It's been a while since the last limited edition My Little Pony bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya, but we finally have the confirmation that Applejack will be the next release!

It's been almost half a year ago that we shared with you the strange news that the Kotobukiya bishoujo statue wasn't going to be another pony from MLP:FiM, but in fact a ponified version of Hatsune Miku! The 3-way collaboration (Hasbro, Kotobukiya & Crypton) is part of the MikuWorldCollab project, and quite unique for the world of My Little Pony. A couple of months after that first announcement, we got the see the minimally updated sculpt for the statue, but without any colors.

Earlier this year we got a big surprise when Kotobukiya announced a crossover between their Hatsune Miku and their line of My Little Pony bishoujo statues. It has been quiet for a few months, but over on Twitter they just revealed the concept sculpt of this unique collab.

 

It was expected that Rarity would be the next one to receive a Limited Edition Version of her Bishoujo Statue, but it was just a matter of when, and the time is now! Kotobukiya just shared images for this one and she's looking very pretty. Just like the other limited edition ones her skin color is the same as her pony version, and her hair is translucent and filled with glitter, and it totally suits her in my opinion.

 

I gotta be honest, I really did not see this one coming but it's true, and I like it. Now that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are up for pre-order it was only a matter of time before we've gotten an announcement for a new upcoming statue, many people were speculating that it might be Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, the CMC or other popular characters from the TV show, but instead it's Hatsune Miku!

This statue is designed by Shunya Yamashita and is part of the large MikuWorldCollab which is a collaboration project between Miku and popular IPs from around the world such as Pusheen, Over Action Rabbit and also My Little Pony! Alongside Hatsune Miku herself she will be bundled with an actual Pony Miku as well which looks really cute in my opinion.

So far no other information has been revealed yet but we'll let you know once images of the Prototype arrive. 

While both Princess Celestia and Luna were announced at the same time to join the Bishoujo line-up, the younger sister of the two, Princess Luna is now already available for pre-order. We did see several stages already of the Princess Celestia one including an unpainted prototype, but now, 1,5 month later Kotobukiya has now revealed the final look for Celestia.

After releasing limited editions of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle in 2020 it's now time for a limited-run version of the Fluttershy bishoujo statue, which was announced earlier today on Kotobukiya's own Twitter.

Starting today the Princess Luna bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya can be pre-ordered. She's the first of the two princess to be available, whereas Princess Celestia will follow later. Pre-orders are open in Japan right now, and US-based retailers will follow in the next hours. The release is planned for September 2021.
