Koto ArtFx Star Wars 1/10 scale
Hello everyone, I've only just recently showed interest in Kotobukiya. I love collecting statues,but almost all of them are some sort of polystone or whatever and I was leery about getting anything "plastic" or "rubbery". I'm not a giant comics fan,but I do enjoy the movies and always wanted a film version of IronMan,so I bought the Mark IV, I believe it is and WOW what a surprise. Such detail! The material they use is very durable and I love the light up features. I then turned to the Koto ArtFx series and saw the reviews for the 1/10th scale C-3PO and R2-D2. The reviews and You tube reviews were impressive,but it wasn't until I got them home and saw the minute detail! Some say they are too small,but to me and my somewhat limited display areas they are perfect. I just got the Darth Vader ArtFx Cloud City version and again I'm floored. I own several statues of him and love them all,but I just adore the simple yet austere and Menacing pose of him just standing there and not swinging a lightsaber with his robes flying around. The ONLY thing that bothers me and this goes to a lot of statues of him is that they make such tiny details and paint almost everything perfect,but they almost always paint his mask solid black. We all know that was not the case for the OT vader. I think if they painted it with the correct color scheme his mask features would pop out much more. Otherwise,I'm loving having my "Kotos" as part of my collection. How about a "Return of the Jedi" Emperor Palpatine! I'd love to have one of him standing with his cane,maybe with his hand raised gesturing. That would be great!
