Help out an interested Kotobukiya starter...
Alright I am considering this line...but....I need to know a couple of things..
1) How many pieces has he done so far?
2) Is there a list of the ones done and already solicited?
3) Are they all still available at reasonable prices?
thanks for any help

1) I believe Kotobukiya is a company, not a person. I could be wrong. As for the number of figures, let's see...
2)
Darth Vader I
Darth Vader II (not yet released)
Darth Maul
Stormtrooper/Luke
Scout
Sandtroopers (3 different ones with different poses...they have white, orange, and black shoulder pads)
Clone Troopers (these are merely color variants...the poses are identical...neutral, red, yellow, and blue)
E3 Clone Trooper (not yet released)
Boba Fett
Jango Fett
Mace Windu and Yoda I
Yoda II
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Anakin
Dark Side Anakin (not yet released)
Han Solo
Chewbacca
I think that's it. If I missed one or two, hopefully someone will add them. Excluding the clone trooper color variants, that makes 20 figures. Including them, there are 23 figures. I personally don't consider color variants different figures, but you may.
3) Almost all of them are available at reasonable prices. I am not sure about the clone troopers and sandtroopers. Some of them might be more rare and thus more expensive.

This site tells you how rare things are... http://www.sandtroopers.com/julian/kotobukiya/
Apparently, the Red Clone Trooper, Yellow Clone Trooper, Sandtrooper Corporal (black shoulder pad/pauldron), and Sandtrooper Sergeant (white shouder pad/pauldron) were each limited to 1,000 pieces. The Blue Clone Trooper is supposedly rarer than those 4 though. The site doesn't say just how rare though.
If you're a completist, obtaining those 5 figures (3 of them are just color variants) might be expensive.

for the most part, they are very affordable, vinyl which means they will last a fall and very detailed/nice.
