Sexy versions of Jason and Freddy are about just an unfathomably bizarre idea
I honestly think that a horror line would be cool if they stuck with more appropriate and fitting characters from some of the horror-influenced sci-fi and fantasy franchises. Characters like Sil from Species, and Selene from Underworld come to mind immediately. Koto has the license for Aliens merch, so maybe even a Bishoujo Ripley might be cool. Hmmm... on second thought, I'm not so sure about that one. If they didn't handle the character well, a LOT of fans, including myself, would be very angry.
As weird as it sounds, like I mentioned in that other thread, a sexy female Ash (from AoD and Evil Dead) could be cool too. Or, maybe classic horror monsters (i.e. Universal Monsters) like a Bride of Frankenstein. The artist Coop has done some cool pin-up stuff of the Bride, so a sexy manga version isn't too hard to imagine.
This line from the 90's is proof that classic monsters can be interpreted in cool manga-inspired ways:
Resurrection of Monstress Figure - Set of 7 - Resurrection Of Monstress Figures
Even better, since Koto has the Capcom license, Darkstalkers statues would be perfect! They would look great next to their Street Fighter peers, they have a HUGE cult following, a few have become well-known to the new generation of gamers due to Marvel Vs Capcom 3, AND they are monsters that already have a manga-inspired look! They would be PERFECT in the Bishoujo line !
I'm sure they're do the darkstalkers line only a matter of time...Felicia and Morrigan will probably be the first ones they make.
