Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya is a Japanese retailer and manufacturer of licensed collectible model kits, including the super deformed D-Style line, which since 2015 has included a range of G1 Transformer characters. In 2022, Kotobukiya released Transformers-styled figures in their BISHOUJO series range; depicting Optimus Prime and Megatron as cute anime girls(!) specifically based off of Shunya Yamashita's art style.

Kotobukiya first began as a single toy store for dolls operated by Jusaburo Shimizu in 1947.

Notes

• God, Japan is amazing.
• Unlike Bandai's Gunplas & like TakaraTomy's Arms Micron kits, All of Kotobukiya's model kits were made in China.
