    Wow, just........wow. She's absolutely gorgeous. I've never gotten anime girl statues before but I can't lie, this one is very tempting. It is such a lovely-looking character. Odd cause Prime & Megs are also creative designs IMO but I was perfectly willing to let those by. There's just something about Bee here that simply works for me. I might actually cave.

    I think I've found one cute pic or her in Pixiv once, though I forgot the artist.

    Wait, what are these types you're talking about? I'm clearly outside my normal realm here.

    Kuudere: a Japanese term for a character who appears to not have emotions. They are often stoic, expressionless, and remain calm in stressful situations (more imho Shockwave)

    Tsundere: adjective used to describe a person or character who swings between emotionally hot and cold, in particular when dealing with a love interest. Especially used to describe someone who is usually cold or cranky but occasionally shows a soft, kind, mushy side ( Sw does care for Ravage in numerous situations)

    You seem to have gotten that a bit mixed up.

    Kuudere is the personality usually described as "icy-hot" - a frosty, guarded, often emotionless exterior, but often warmly affectionate once you've gained their attention and trust.

    Tsundere is more a "fiery, but soft" personality type - in its original incarnation, it used to describe a form of character development, where a brash and aggressive character mellows out to show their affectionate side. The term, however, quickly evolved into a singular personality trait, regarding a person typically deeply confused or in denial about their own affections that they tend to react in hot-headed and aggressive ways when pressured about them.

    A little bit adding, kuudere originated from kuuru (Cool) and dere (loving), so it's not stoic or expresionless, those are more Dandere than Kuudere.

    In Optimus's box it indicated Megs coming next. I wonder if the same for Bb? Or will she be the last:(

    Has this actually been confirmed anywhere, or is it just conjecture?

    Until we read it in the back of the package or art work, official artwork gets released...........

    Reflection off smooth surfaces such as a mirror, an automobile, or a calm body of water leads to specular reflection. This reflection makes an object look glossy or shiny and is responsible for the lustrous or mirror-like appearance.

    So she's a car inspired character;)

    Really, though, that's just the style. Especially in lower-detail, "cuter" styles like this, they rely on spot highlights like that to add shape and definition, rather than overdo the details. It also reflects the beauty ideal of healthy, glowing skin.

    Bah it was just a fan vote at a con for now. Although given the reception I don't see why they wouldn't continue with the line.

    It'd just be kemonomimi, and not like, an actual dog-girl, since these figures are in gijinka-style.

    Arcee a mom/aunt type? Legends was already the aunt type, just humanizing her into a Princess Leia appearance with the buns. As for Hotrod, JK type?
