Thank you kindly. Very detailed pieces at any scale & material really. Looking forward to the new ARTFX Darth Vader out this month.

Nice pictures as always! I'm so jealous of you right now, you have no idea.

What do you think about Gwen now that you have her in hand?

Hi! Long time no chat. Should consider importing friend, personally don't like waiting myself.

Let's get the cons out of the way:

Had to use a hair dryer for the masked head to fit properly. Don't like the neck seam either.

Knee seams aren't as well hidden as Wasp's.

Pros are the crisp & clean paintwork. The monochrome, magenta, & cyan colours really pop!

Unmasked portrait is cute, there's nice shading on Gwen's hair & eyes. Same goes for the masked head & inner hoodie.

Subtle blue shading on the white portions to give the sculpt more definition.

Left leg feels very solid & should hold the weight of the statue much like bishoujo Ms. Marvel & Wasp in the past.

Spider-Gwen really complements Black Cat & Spider Woman if grouped together.

Cool, thanks. I'd love to just import one, but I spent a ton of money recently... I'll have to wait for it on Amazon.

1/7 DC Bishoujo Harley Quinn Version 2. Happy with the piece overall, getting the NYCC Exclusive in a few weeks:

ARTFX Darth Vader from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Glad Koto readjusted the helmet. Like the articulated neck & head. Paint job's a good mix of high gloss, satin, & matte black. Cool translucent lens & they also included Vaders ears & neck mechanics underneath the helmet...

Best way to assemble Vader is to connect the torso to his lower body, then attach both arms, (find a flat surface) attach his cape then finally his head.

The statue can stand without the circular base. There's no peg to secure Vader on it though.
