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.

The past days have been a bit busy with all the G5 news, but G4 is still going on as well! In January Kotobukiya had posted the finished sculptures for the upcoming Princess Celestia and Luna Statues, and now they have revealed the painted version of Luna + the Pony Sculpt of Princess Celestia.

Back in August we learned that the line of My Little Pony Bishoujo statues would not end with the mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer, but that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia were going to be added. Now, just before the end of the year, Kotobukiya reveals the final (unpainted) sculpt design for both of the human versions. They also show the final human + pony version of Princess Luna separately, and we expect them to share the pony design of Princess Celestia soon.

About a month after the reveal of the finished statue, the Sunset Shimmer Bishoujo Statue by Kotobukiya is now available for pre-order! She's $109.99 USD and will be released in April 2021. Kotobukiya has also shared some more detailed shots of the figure itself and just like the others, she looks absolutely stunning!

Almost exactly a month ago Kotobukiya sent out loads of information on upcoming statues. Biggest news was of course the announcement of the Princess Luna and Princess Celestia statues, but among the other images that were shared was also this limited edition Twilight Sparkle bishoujo statue.
