Shopping GuideTOM Staff Picks vol. 5 - Usaco
My name is usaco, short for usagi computing.
I make slackers at TOM work. I look like a South Park character and weigh at about 130 kg. I adore Twilight Sparkle, because her voice actress Miyuki Sawashiro sounds like a Japanese Tara Strong.
Everything up to this point was a lie.
The true reason why I like Twilight Sparkle is because she is the most mentally repressed character in the series (Sunset Shimmer is a goddess).
Today I’d like to introduce the Marvel Bishoujo line; a series of figures that are based on depictions of Marvel characters drawn by Japanese artists
(Don’t you think Gurihiru’s Gwenpool is cute?)

Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo series are the only few products on TOM that feature non Japanese characters drawn by Japanese artists.
Them and Akira Himekawa’s MLP comics.
Squirrel Girl is known for being drawn in very different ways, but I believe that Shunya Yamashita’s designs are the perfect answer to “optimized kawaii”. Even in this form, she beats villains with one blow. You think you’re One Punch Man? Go and get an apprentice!
I’ll silently wait for a world where the internet is full of your Yuri fanfic.

Bride-san.
This innocent girl was buried alive, which makes me feel more and more complicated as I’m writing this very sentence. I’d like a taste of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique from this version of her, with exploding organs and all. In fact, I’d love it.
If this Tarantino figure series becomes a thing, I’m pretty sure that VIncent and Jules are up next. I’m counting on you, Kotobukiya. Oh, the guy from the pawn shop scene or Marsellus Wallace would be great too.

“WTF!!!! She isn’t even a character from American comics!!!”, you may say.
Please don’t.
After a glance at her curvaceous body and “showy” aspects that wrestlers have, I can’t stop but imagine what the world will become when WWE wrestlers become Bishoujos and Ikemen… We must marvel at the beauty of Rainbow Mika and enjoy wrestling, until the day when something like “BISHOUJO HHH” becomes a thing...

What?!
The main characters from Child Play have become Yuri couple!!!!
There’s a genre of fanfiction in Japan called “Yaoi”, where certain male characters are depicted as lovers. But these figures go further; males are turned into females, and are now a happy little couple. The license holders even allowed to make this happen… I need to know what’s going on in Kotobukiya’s planning division.
I am utterly moved at this overflow of passion and somewhat scary decisions they have made. I will support Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo line, and I’d like you to do so too. “Otaku ecstasy” awaits us at the end of this journey.
