Geralt of Rivia is getting a makeover like never before, with a high-end figurine of the character being rendered in bishoujo ("beautiful girl") style from specialist manufacturers Kotobukiya. In fact, Kotobukiya has partnered with CD Projekt to produce a range of figures (229mm tall) based on characters from the series, and Ciri is up next.
The detail is kind of incredible, and as the product's official description describes, it was "designed by Shunya Yamashita, this legendary witcher has received an unexpected makeover into a beautiful female form. Now she comes to life, ready to unsheath her silver sword and cast Igni on her foes." No word on pricing, but this first figure is due out in February of 2024.
While Ciri will retain her original form, we can't wait to see such other hunks from the wider Witchering World get the bishoujo treatment. We'll wait with bated breath for the inevitable reveal of anime Vesimir, whose own glow-up could only be outdone by a breathtakingly-beautiful Bloody Baron.
What do you think of Geralt's bishoujo makeover? Any other figurines you're hoping to see out of this admittedly niche collaboration? Dress to impress in the comments section below.

She opens her mouth to speak and it's still Doug Cockle's voice. Best of both worlds?
I donโt know what it is but that looks terrible.
Isn't this just Ciri already? lol.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder?
In my opinion it looks fugly.
That's ugly af
Looks nice but if people don't know they always make female versions of characters with these sets.
I love bishoujo figures but this one was still odd to me due to there already being plenty of women they could've done. Triss, Yen, Phillipa etc rather than making Geralt a woman but at least they're doing Ciri. I'll probably just wait for that one.
I've got that Aerosmith song in my head now.
nahhhhhh.... im good.. but thanks anyway..
Could have done a better job ๐
I love Koto's Bishoujo figures but couldn't care less about The Witcher so this is a disappointing drop for me๐ญ. I'm still waiting for them to do sexy Kayako for their horror series ๐
This is my first time hearing about bishoujo, which is odd since I like a lot of the Japanese culture stuff, but I just thought it was Vicious. ๐
What's the obsession with gender swapping? Ridiculous.
@Uncharted2007 That's the entire gimmick of the Bishoujo line making cute anime girl figures out of famous characters be they from games, Comic books or movies and if they're not already female characters (which like 97% of this figure line is) they Rule 63 them. They've even done all the famous Slasher movie villains as cute anime girls (plus Ash from Evil Dead) they're really awesome figures (Their Penny-wise one being a personal favourite) it's just a fun cute anime girl figure line don't get so bent out of shape about it ๐
The detailโs good and itโs just a silly concept done for fun. I can only guess as to why certain people are having that reaction to it.
@nessisonett Seriously dude this line of figures has been around for over a decade it's just goofy merch I can't imagine being unironically upset about these ๐
Wow I didn't expect the comments to be so angry or offended by this. People are weird.
Come off it guys, we all know you've gotta be a pretty special kind of pervert to be interested in this tat.
