I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Ok! Moving on, as long as this line matches like the DRS did. I could care less.

I thought people said Bowens were 1:6? Kotos are a bit bigger than Bowens, but look fine alongside them.

The high-quality cold cast resin adds extra texture to every aspect of the statue, making this a piece of art that replicates the qualities of Wolverine is a way that can only be created by cold cast resin.

This sentence cracks me up.

Instead I've been collecting the 1/6 resin Diamond Select Premier figures lately. Picked up the 1/6 green goblin statue this month for $120 (same price as Luke) and he is AWESOME.
I'm in the same boat here. Started with Koto 1:6 (still have them as part of my main display), then over the years the price hike pushed me away. I have also shifted to Diamond - got Cable and Venom. Thought their QC is hit and miss. Wanda and Elektra didn't come out so great.

I remember a couple years back when Koto was asking us what wanted to see - $400 1:6 statues was not a "want" from I remember

I like the idea of the line if it is in fact a complete line and they dont leave us hanging like they did with the danger room sessions.

I feel like i am going to hold off on buying anything until I see how many they are actually going to make.

Also; I can deal with the pose (not great) but the head sculpt it terrible...

those teeth look like bah bah booey... no one noticed they were yellow and deformed looking?

Definitely need to fix before it goes into production.

The sculpt is quite good and is held back by the base. The base feels like a bunch of rubble randomly on top of each other. It would have told a better physical story if it was a ramp.shaped rubble and he was leaping off it forward. That way it would convey his overall motion forward better.

Generally 1:7...some 1:8...some might be in the 1:6 range.

Facts. Precisely why I got this. The scale is the same, the pose is extremely dynamic - its like he is fighting an invisible enemy that ideally he should be positioned with. Its also a really beautiful statue and well-priced. It will look nice as part of the XM Studios Sentinel Diorama
