You are probably right, I think Gentle Giant might have the 1/6 scale license. Too bad they are not exploiting it.

Yep, a 1/7 Kylo Ren would look great next to my Ukiyo-e Darth Maul & Gentle Giant Darth Talon (some old pics):



Currently hunting down a similar scaled Darth Vader.

Storm Troopers are already released.
Capt Phasma in March
R2D2, C3PO and BB8 in May
Kylo Ren in June
The Stormtrooper single pack with ranking pauldrons should be out in April. Wish it came with swap out arms holding a Z6 riot control baton & shield.

I'm assuming they have plans on giving TR-8R his own line.

I didn't know that the single pack had difference from the double, just thought it was a less expensive option.

Now that im looking into it I see the difference.

I'm currently living in japan so im taking in all the deals that I possibly can, only bad thing is im leaving in July/August time frame.

True, reckon the Snowtrooper, Flametrooper, & FO TIE Fighter Pilot might be next. Unless Koto already secured the actors likeness rights for Rey, Finn, & Poe etc.

No worries, KotoUS announced the single Stormtrooper back in November last year. You can still pre-order it from AmiAmi Japan & BBTS http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...64&mode=retail

Well it seems like in general koto favors the dark side.

It's like they prioritize
1)Dark side
2)Droids
3)All others

I'm assuming it's because it's easier to manufacture then getting facial expressions on the up and up.

I'm just going to miss the prices of being in Japan. For example I picked up a cloud city boba fett for ¥6200 which is $50.00

Bring back the 1/7th line and the Ukiyo-e line. I'm in love with that new "Ronin" Boba Fett figure, but haven't picked it up yet. I love that kind of stuff. Kind of a "Mythos" line for Kotobukiya: Samurai-inspired things like "Bamboopunk", Steampunk, the Old West, etc.

Yea something that would go well with my 1/7 Darth Maul Ukiyo would be great.

Yeah that's the other thing I collect is the Ronin Boba and the Samurai inspired ones. ill be getting the red guard and the sand trooper as soon as they drop here in japan.
