Bishoujo Statue: Movies

Hullo!
Don't you guys think it'd be cool if female characters from your favorite movie has a bishoujo statue version?

Kotobukiya sure had entered the movie scene with the Freddy and Jason statues, MIB, and a couple of Star Wars girls, but those statues aren't really characters from the movie, are they?

Just wanna hear yer thoughts about this,
and maybe list some female characters from movies you would want a bishoujo version of.

For me,
Sarah Connor from the upcoming Terminator movie would be one.
I'd like to have a Katniss as well.
I love Evangeline Lily, Tauriel would be awesome too.

How 'boutcha?

I'm sorry man but Sarah Connor from Terminator has no redeeming attractive qualities. I can't see any amount of liberties making that character anywhere near "bishoujo".

Really? No liberties could be taken to make Sarah Connor anywhere near "Bishoujo"? Are you serious? They made two male movie characters into Bishoujo women that are normally horrifying looking. I think they can make a woman wearing pants and a tank top holding a gun work from the Terminator franchise work. Strangely I think it would be very easy for them to do it.

I would like to see Katniss as well, Olivia Wilde's character from Tron Legacy...Quorra, Queen Gorgo from 300, and Selene from Underworld.

They put cosplay outfits on girls which worked really well and wasn't much of a stretch.

I took the original post to mean looking like the source material which to me is pretty far from looking "young & attractive". But yeah they could slap the tank top & jeans and a gun and slap it on something cute and call it Sarah Connor.

Olivia Wilde is pretty much a bishoujo in real life and about everything she has been in including Tron Legacy. Linda Hamilton in the Terminators definitely wasn't.

I think Saoirse Ronan in "Hanna" would make a cool bishoujo figure.

On a different note, I would find it very entertaining if Kotobukiya made bishoujo figures out of Jake and Elwood Blues.

That gun she's holding.
That's a signature Sarah Connor gun, right?
Yeah, she's a nice bishoujo fit.
But, Emilia Clarke, though :3

Selene from Underworld would be good. There's Ripley from Alien (not Aliens, lol). Star Trek TOS mini skirt chick... Barbarella? I dunno what else.

If you wanna gender bend some stuff from male dominated roles you can do 007, Back to the Future, Rocky, Stargate, Top Gun, 300, annnnd.... maybe Pirates of the Caribbean.
