Kotobukiya revealed five Bishoujo figures at Anime Expo 2025, with three being Kula Diamond, Yuri Sakazaki, and a new Roaring Lightning Orochi Shermie from KOF, one being BB Hood from Darkstalkers, and the final character being the horror line addition M3GAN. The company also started taking pre-orders for the KOF 97 Orochi Leona Bishoujo variant that debuts in March 2026.
Of the four The King of Fighters Bishoujo figures, the Leona and Shermie ones are based on KOF 97 designs and the Kula Diamond and Yuri Sakazaki ones are based on KOF XV. The Orochi Leona is furthest along. It will debut in February 2026 in Japan, then March 2026 worldwide. That costs 16,500円/$129.99. The Kula, Shermie, and Yuri ones are still early-on, as only the initial illustrations by Shunya Yamashita that will act as the concept art for each one’s design appeared online.
Here’s how all four of those look so far:




The original Shermie showed up in February 2024, and Leona Heidern version appeared in Japan in April 2025.
BB Hood is a little further along, as the Darkstalkers Bishoujo figure showed up as an unpainted prototype in its update. Kotobukiya showed the Yamashita art again, so people could compare the figure design to the original concept.


Finally, the M3GAN figure is at the same stage of development as BB Hood. Her unpainted prototype showed up, and the Shunya Yamashita art appeared again to offer a reminder of the progress.


Anime Expo 2025 runs July 3-6, 2025, and it takes place in Los Angeles, California.
