Vampirella Is the New Horror Bishoujo Figure

Kotobukiya announced ahead of the 2024 New York Comic Con and Halloween that it will add Vampirella to the line of horror comic icon Bishoujo figures. This is both to celebrate her 55th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the Bishoujo line of statues.

At the moment, the Vampirella Bishoujo figure is very early in development, but artist Shunya Yamashita did already draw the concept art for the horror comic heroine. It is based on her classic red and white one-piece with gold accents. She’ll apparently be standing on a base that has a cross-shaped grave on it. Also, as a nod to the fact that she can shapeshift into a bat, there will be one flying alongside her.

Here’s the official Yamashita concept art that will be used as the basis for the figure:

While people might immediately think of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo line and think of comic or game figures, ones based on horror villains have been a staple since the collection started. After all, Edward Scissorhands showed up in the series back in 2016, followed by Tiffany from The Bride of Chuckyin 2017. Two of the more recent releases were a Sadako from The Ring announcement and a rerun of Beetlejuice.

The Vampirella Bishoujo figure is in development.
