G.I. Joe fans have a new line of statues to collect. Kotobukiya is bringing the Joes to their bishoujo line, starting with Scarlett.

You can preorder for shipping in August here. Check out more details and pics of the statue below.

The world's first series of action figures created by Hasbro, G.I. Joe follows a group of heroes in their fight against Cobra, an evil organization plotting to take over the world. In this new line of 1/7 scale statues, the colorful characters of G.I. JOE are reborn as Kotobukiya's Bishoujo!

The first character to join the series is an agent from the global elite special unit known as the G.I. Joe team, Scarlett! The statue is based on original art by Shunya Yamashita, which was specially created as concept art for the Bishoujo statue!

A counter-intelligence expert who protects her allies from enemy schemes, Scarlett is proficient with a variety of weapons. Scarlett's signature red hair and two-piece bodysuit are recreated in stunning detail. While remaining faithful to the original G.I. Joe series, Scarlett's suit has also been upgraded to represent the advanced, high-tech equipment available to the elite G.I. Joe team, as is evident in the suit's unique and highly detailed texture. Additionally, like the original action figure, Scarlett comes with an XK-1 power crossbow
