It's not like a giant red 'X' on a black base that will draw your attent- oh.

Ditto.

I always like to have the evidence in hand before coming to a conclusion.

Basically, lets not burn him at the stake yet because a few yelled out witch. Just my opinion.

Smart man.

so i got mine, and the paints are pretty meh. not terrible, things are in the lines, but theyre very bland. no shading anywhere, and it feels like a matter finish than the others. but what gets me, is that it feels so much cheaper than the rest. its significantly lighter, the way the arms and head fit into their sockets are looser than any others. the base seems to have had significant mass taken away from it. overall it just doesnt feel substantial. sculpt is still magnificent, but i dont feel its worth what they asked for. ive had no issues with any of my others, i just feel like koto go cheap on the product and kept the price the same. sucks.

Can't wait! Normally I have the statue in hand before I see your repaints, Kevin. This time it's a reverse order.

MORE on hand pics please

I think it looks bad much like other koto releases. Their paint factories suck. Really brings down the quality of sosa's work.

I just got my Koto Wolverine from my LCS. I literally just came out of the store and let me tell you this: whoever says that this Wolverine looks cheap, unshaded, and doesn't have a good weight to it has got to be lying. I personally handled the statue to check it before boxing it again and my first impression: IT'S F'IN FLAWLESS. Paint app is perfect, down to the minute details of the maskless head. Anatomy is perfect. The base has a good weight to it. The box may be tiny but I love it. To hell with huge boxes. Pardon me for the strong words. I'm just so happy about this piece. Kotobukiya did a great job on this piece.

Guys, I'm telling you this: Do not rely on the photos. Go to your LCS and see it for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

I'm not just hyping up this piece. This thing deserves more hype than it is getting. I do not like every Koto piece out there. I hate Juggernaut and Cyclops. But this one is a home run. I'm telling you. You better grab one right now.
