Whenever there is enough demand Koto should rerelease any of these. They are supposed to be fun little $50 figures of characters for many to enjoy.

Thanks, I saw that too. Ordering from where I am though, I still have to spend around $96. As much as I can, I really prefer ordering from a local shop.

Hi everyone. If Koto were listening this would be my short list of 1/7 scale re-releases:
Wonder Woman (first version)
Power Girl
Poison Ivy
Harley Quinn (masked version)

LATER EDIT: Liara T'soni from The Mass Effect line and female Shepard.

I would also love to see any version (new or re-release) of Catwoman as I think is quite preposterous that one should pay the price of 2 sideshow PF statues just to get a little 1/7 scale pvc statue (no matter how awesome the little pvc statue is).

Also it would be a great commercial success (in Europe as well as allover the world I presume) to release the 1/8 scale old statues in a new 1/7 scale mold.
Imagining a 1/7 scale Starfire or Rogue statue gives me a tingling sensation allover.

Uh huh, that's what it's supposed to be about: Fun.
I guess, when a figure's price goes beyond how much you're willing to spend, you kind of lose the fun even if you do get them...

I got a couple of figures I bought that's worth more than they should, and I don't feel as good buying them compared to the happy feeling I get from buying the other figures I got for a fair price.

^ Yes! Some of my favorite figures are what many people here would consider "cheap".

No matter how much you like this stuff or what kind of money you have when you pay the same amount other people can't afford to pay their rent, meds, or other necessities it makes it all seem too greedy and makes me sad.

I'd love to have a reg and Dark Phoenix Bishoujo but no way will I ever pay the prices. I was lucky though and got my favorite Bish so far, Catwoman, for $42 shipped back when released.

Hi guys!
I just found out that Batgirl is going to be re-release on June 2015!

I hope they'd do the same with Powergirl.

One problem with re-releases is it takes time and resources away from creating new ones...

I don't have anything bad to say about Koto re-releasing old statues again since they never promised they were limited edition in the first place, but as a collector it does take some of the fun away from collecting if they keep re-releasing old ones...

The most I've ever spent on a Bishoujo was $180 for Liara, I would be kind of bummed if they re-release her for $67 after I already paid $180 for her...

I don't think it's a big deal if they just do a re-release every now and then, I just prefer if it's the exception and not the rule...

Just my 2 cents

The only one that I missed that I wanted was Poison Ivy. I have already hunted her down but I would have preferred to have paid retail.
