Princess Bitch - a very NSFW 1:7 scale parody figure of Princess Peach available for pre-order HERE.

And now, an unusually absurd product description:

• Sexy PVC statue with…a mushroom!
• Well-endowed princess with high heels and a great personality!
• Save the princess in your hands!
• A coy look and a pose that defines subtlety!

This princess is from a totally different castle! This white-hot statue with blonde hair and a pink costume is not appropriate for children, but it might be just the thing for your home office! Perched atop an unusually-formed fungus, the oddly named “Princess Bitch” poses with pride. Princess tiara studded jewelry is true! This 1:7 scale figure measures over 5 1/2-inches tall, and is sure to be an amazing conversation piece no matter where you decide to display her!

This hilariously sexy/weird nonsense can be yours for $150 when it ships this November.

Her voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita.

Cosplay, short for “costume play”, is type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Role play includes portrayals of J-pop and J-rock stars, Taiwanese puppet characters, science fiction characters, characters from musical stories, classic novels, and entertainment software. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa.
