I guess I've never posted those! Shunya Yamashita is a Japanese illustrator and character designer. As you can see, Shunya is the artist behind the Marvel Bishoujo Statues by Kotobukya and these are the drawings on which the statues are based. Following Rogue, Black Widow, the Scarlet Witch, Psylocke, Jean Grey and Emma Frost, the future of the Bishoujo series will continue with Black Cat and Ms. Marvel statues coming in 2011.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

O.M.G. Those are so cute ^_^ They need an anime only with X-Girls. Sailor Moon style >.<'
Ohhh these are fun. I'm not keen on the T+A emphasis with Betsy's solo shot, but whatev, everything else looks very animated and cute.
Great art! Betsy looks sexy yet strong in both renditions!
Too bad Jean looks quite tacky in the group shot...
When I first saw those images I thought it would be related to MvC3 hahaha. Silly me.
Still hoping for Betsy in MvC3.
Lovely!!!
I think this is totally cute and I'm a girl heheh
boobs out HAII!!! Butt thrust HYAAH!!
All that Hand ninja training definitely served Betsy well.
@Anonymous (the one that wants Betsy in MVC3) - I think there is a good chance she will make it. I think a rumor was circulating that Emma was not in MVC3. Betsy has the popularity and the powerset to fit well in this game as she did in three Capcom versus games in the past. I bet Betsy will make MVC3. I feel the chances are very strong, and she would appeal to many fans in Asia who have an affinity for her character.
I feel Rogue probably will not return for MVC3 as her powerset has changed from the 90s where she had her Ms. Marvel powers.
Storm is a strong contender.
X-23 may appear.
Emma Frost is unlikely, probably because her powerset would not fit well into this game (I guess she could depending on how the developers mould her character)
I would like to have Rogue, Emma, Betsy and Storm, but that may be asking for too much in MVC3...
@Anonymous 2:12PM - I've been watching many of the MVC3 forums, and allot of people are hoping Betsy is in MVC3.
I don't wanna sound like a Debbie Downer, but from what I've heard I wouldn't hold my breath for Psylocke in MVC3. ;/
@Luckystar - Oh no :(
So does Rouge has none of Carol's powers? Does she still have Sunspots?
Who is in the picture with Jean and Rouge?
@Luckystar - Do you think Psylocke will be dropped in MVC3? Thanks.
@5:15 Anonymous - Jean and Rogue aren't in the same picture; you probably thought that Black Widow (the red-haired woman hugging Rogue; what a stupid woman, doesn't she know she may get into a coma by doing that??) was Jean. The third woman with them (the one in weird pink clothes) is the Scarlet Witch, one of Magneto's daughters (the other ones being the deceased Anya and green-haired x-woman Polaris).
@Centurion - I think so, unfortunately. The thing is, it seems that Capcom has already decided the roster for MvC3 for some time now, and even though both supposed "leaked" roster lists have been proved false (the first one has both Mr. Fantastic and White Queen but Niitsuma has confirmed that neither of them is in the game; and the second one doesn't list Amaterasu), they still seem to have guessed most of the characters correctly. It seems that the only X-Men in this game will be Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and Magneto. Maybe X-23 as well, since her name wasn't denied by the producers.
It doesn't mean that Psylocke has no chance of being in MvC3, but her chances are pretty low right now...
@centurion
I think she's not in their plans for the initial roster. But there's always DLC stuff after the release, so who knows.
From what I've heard, no Psylocke and no Emma this time. Another telepath might get lucky though...
I agree with Luckystar i just think she isnt going to make the cut the first time round.
They said they dont want any copy characters ie no Ken because of Ryu so its possible no X-23 / Daken because of Wolverine. Although I have a strong feeling Akuma is in as they said a street fighter villain and i really cant see them putting in Bison, Seth or Gill. Juri would be cool but Capcom already has 5 girls on their team where as marvel have zero so i dont think capcom is going to be adding anymore girls. There go my hopes for Tribal Sheva :(
If i had to guess the marvel girls id guess Black Widow, She-Hulk, Storm and Jean Grey. Maybes; Spider-Woman, Ms Marvel, Elektra or Psylocke.
umm I like the drawing but since when did Betsy where heels? lol
Interesting. The one with Rogue & Scarlet Witch is titled Avengers? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the teaser they had of Rogue possibly joining the Avengers.
Really cute stuff! I wish I had the money to afford one of these statues!
@Soulkiller - Rogue joining the Avengers would be quite cool, actually, but I guess Carey wouldn't let her join the team unless he got an Avengers title of his own to write (come to think about it, that wouldn't be a bad idea... although the X-Men would lose one more great writer).
But it's probably just a random title, just like the other picture is titled "Telepaths" - as far as I know, Black Cat was never a telepath... Moondragon would make more sense in this "team", although her "baldiness" may make her seem unattractive to many men (I actually think it makes her even hotter, but that's just me).
@Luckystar - Thank you! :)
@LuckyStar - If the telepath you're mentioning is Jean Grey, she won't get lucky. Niitsuma said at Comic-Con that neither Emma nor Jean will be part of the MVC3 roster...
He also said that Phoenix Wright, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Punisher and Gene (from the God Hand game) won't be in the roster as well.
fsker, nitsuma didn't discard Jean Grey. He simply said he liked Emma Frost better than Jean.
I listened to the whole stream and the only reference to Jean Grey was when they asked him what character he prefers, Emma Frost or Jean Grey and he says Emma Frost.
Edit - Oh yeah, what anonymous said.
I doubt Rogue will make MVC3, Psylocke is a possibility, but I just don't see Electra being selected over Psylocke.
What happened in the shot with Dark Phoenix, Frost, Psylocke & the other girl (black cat? who is that girl!).
I don't understand their expressions. Is it that the white haired girl in front fell & the other two girls are looking at Psylocke because she pushed the white haired girl?
or did someone pass gas?
Phoenix is in a weird vulnerable/sexy pose that I've never seen her in so I just don't understand. Thank you
^I like your explanation.
