Ask Kotobukiya

[KiDD]

Do we not have mods on the site any more?

[UnicornPegasus]

Yeah, I've been reporting them, but they keep popping back up.

When i see what Tweeterhead and XM Studios are doing with their 1/6 scale DC license it makes me sad and upset to see how bad koto is dropping the ball.

Just want to say I agree.. i dont care about the prices but the rate you guys deliver statues is awful. Are we going to wait another 3 years to see the Gambit statue you might be releasing before you announce you are discontinuing the line?

Please give the license to a worthy company.

Also*** you need to make sure your artists know how to sculpt teeth. Looks at Sideshow or Prime 1 for example on how to do it.. your most recent Wolverine and Cyclops statues look like they've had terrible dental work done. ***

I would gladly fork over more money for a better quality piece of art that is delivered more frequently.

@Gonk, what is the status of the bishoujo line - specifically Marvel, DC, Horror and MLP? It feels like it's been a long time since we've seen a new reveal (besides the MLP variants).

Also, has Koto ever considered doing a classic horror line? I would love to see bishoujo of characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bride of Frankenstein, Bride of Dracula. Think that would be sick

[UnicornPegasus]

Will there ever be something like an Elvira for the horror line? That just seems like a no-brainer.

[ClaraVoyent]

Yeah, Elvira and classic horror could be cool! I could get into that line if they released at a good clip.
At $80, though.
Not at $150.

[BladeoftheMoon]

Would definitely like more Horror, especially the Universal Monsters. More 80's horror would be good too. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Creepshow, Gremlins ?

Radio silence for way too long. What is going on Koto?

I'm still here. It's been tough finding time to chime in since I'm currently the only employee based in the US. I have a number of other responsibilities that require my attention. I also just finished attending 3 events in a row (SWC, AX, SDCC). But I'll be more active on these boards in the coming weeks and months. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

So our horror based Bishoujo offerings are still being actively discussed but other projects are scheduled to be announced first (like Darkstalkers was). We have something big coming up for Bishoujo which is probably at the top of many personal wish lists!
