Oooh, was worried about the purple hair. I know it's silly, but I like it. And from the preorder prices I'm seeing its actually cheaper than the action figure. :/ much prefer statues to toys... At least at that price braket.

[Nuclear Pete]

I'm getting this! I already have the Liara statue.

Not sure about the strand of hair up top though. Looks like an antenna lol

[Mims]

I like the hair, but I am worried about it surviving any sort of shipping. I've had a few resin figures with hair tiny parts like that, and they do not travel well at all.

Wait until they get to eBay stores, because they'll be cheap there too. Although I am interested in seeing what this "exclusive" is for the BioWare store...

I think if they wouldn't have made the eyes so huge she wouldn't look so young. She looked older in the illustrations. That's my only gripe, though...that and the antenna hair. Lol.

It doesn't mean what you think it means...

It was first used during the feudal era (1400-1500s) as a slang term for "beautiful youthful girl." Usually refering to women or girls who were underage (12-15) at the time. A typical "Bishoujo" was already married by the age of 13 or 14 to one of the feudal city Bushido code holders (head Samurai or "lord." in the village.)

As of today, it's use to just discribe younge women. But it has a negative connotation, it's the Japanese "polite" word for saying "younge ****."

Bishoujo translates to "pretty girl" in Japanese.

Actually, that's the audience! "Shojo" is the proper terminology for the audience or in fuedal times the lord who was either married to or in a sexual relationship with the young woman. 

"Bishoujo" in general is a girl who is before adulthood in modern day. In the past it has had a negative connotation, which still carries over today in some cities. Paticularly one's like Kyoto and Yokohama which pride themselves on being "decent" and apart from the Tokyo life.

Bishōjo
: 美少女 【びしょうじょ】
(n.) beautiful girl.

Derived from "bi", which is short for bijin (美人), and shōjo (少女).

Bishōjo refers to anime in a vast number of different genres, varying from shōjo such as Sailor Moon to erotic anime such as MeiKing. Other examples of bishōjo include Ah! My Goddess, Sakura Wars and Love Hina.

Almost any anime that predominantly features pretty girls, such as Sailor Moon, are be considered bishōjo. In fact, Sailor Moon's Japanese title is Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon). There are also anime that, as a whole, are not considered bishōjo but may have one or two bishōjo characters.

==========

"Bishōjo characters are seen in almost all genres of anime and manga, especially in dating sims and visual novels (also known as bishōjo games), and harem anime and manga. It is sometimes confused with the similar sounding shōjo demographic, but bishōjo refers to the gender and traits of the characters whereas "shōjo" refers to the audience. Although bishōjo is not a genre but a character design, series which predominantly feature such characters, such as "harem" or visual novels, are sometimes informally called "bishōjo series". Since one of the main draws of these series is typically the art and the attractive female characters, the term is occasionally perceived negatively, as a "genre" which is solely dependent on the marketability of cute characters rather than content or plot."

It's definetly the eyes that do it, but I love the big cutsey anime eyes, so I can live with it.

I'll have to get around to getting a Normandy figurine and display them together.

Yeah, exactly. So this line makes popular female characters into youthful-looking, anime style statues. They do everything from Star Wars to Marvel. It's a specialty item. If you don't like the style, don't collect figures from the line.

Just what I wanted, a younge ****ty Shepard...This is why we can't have strong female characters in gaming, this kind of **** is the problem! They're taking FemShep, one of the few strong lead female characters in gaming, and turning her into...Japanese feudal slang for a younge Bushido lords underage wife/sexual favor giver. 

Why, why hasn't anyone played FFX!?

The italic text in the bottom was from Wikipedia, athe above definition was from Anime News Network. And I'd take your "free history lesson" as less reliable information, especially when it comes to translations in the context of anime.

I didn't realize that anime was the definitive source for Japanese termonology. 

Let me just write that down so I don't forget it...

And yet, when information from multiple sources all provides the same answer and one guy on "t3h Intarwebs" says otherwise, I'd much rather go with the popular consensus.

Hmm...not bad, actually. I'm glad they got rid of the heels! Not sure I'll actually buy it since anime doesn't appeal to me, but it's a consideration...especially if they make a Garrus one.

They wont make a Garrus state because... he is a dude...

And looks like ME characters are sacred like Maome to some fans, can't be displayed in any other form....

 From Kotaku:

Kotobukiya, one of the world's top collectible companies, has a line of pieces it calls "Bishoujo". What that normally means for fans are statues of female characters rendered in anime style and with, um, disproportionate proportions.There's a market for that kind of thing, I'm sure, but for many it's a little much. Which is why it's nice to see their second Mass Effect statue, modelled after the new default FemShep, plays it straight.Your mileage on it will vary depending on your reaction to the stylised face, but surprising even myself, I really like it!It'll be out in March 2013. The BioWare store will also have an exclusive variant that'll have a different hair colour, weapon and pose, with pics and images due there on Wednesday.Those who prefer their Shepards a little more masculine, and realistic in nature, can check out this alternative from Sideshow.

At firt while reading it, i was thinking that maybe this exclusive version is that silver armour and purple hair image...

But diferent pose? My god, i will have to buy 2 figures...
