It boils down to how much you are willing to pay. I like Sideshow PF and XM statues but have I ever bought them? No, I am not willing to spend that much money for statues when I still have other bills to pay and I don't collect 1/4 scale. In addition the exchange rate for Canadian dollars still pretty bad and the cost of living keeps going up. When you add shipping, taxes, and custom fees than it get very expensive. For me, the price for Koto statues are more reasonable. To be honest, I wonder how many people bought those expensive statues?

Gonk & Koto, please just make Aquaman & Martian Manhunter to complete the original seven.

1/6 scale statues still make an awesome display.

And now for the price of a Prime 1 Wonder Woman on horse you can get 12 Tweeterhead and 24 Koto Artfx.

Amazing how that works.

Beautiful render. Didn't collect this series, but I hope they revisit it, Griffon. Maybe Koto needs to get some ladies involved to lure in collectors. Zatanna and Black Canary come to mind.

Thought you'd nominate Powergirl

KotoUS Facebook posted a survey last September & the majority wanted AM, MM, plus Shazam.

Aquaman and Martian Manhunter are the least popular of the seven so maybe Koto doesn't want to make them since sales will be worse than the others.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I think if GL was in a standing pose like the others it might have sold better. It's a great piece but doesn't display all that great with the rest because of his base.
I display mine without the bases with GL towering behind them, would have been nice to have them all standing even.
Just my thoughts.

Didn't it sell well? I don't mind the pose, I thought it is fitting for him. I don't really like the pose for the Flash. They could have done it better to show that he is a speedster.
It would be awesome if koto makes the main villain of each heroes in ArtFX format.

That's what the Koto rep said here somewhere.

they already did they made Deathstroke 1/6 scale artfx then they never made any more. Also I am pretty sure they discontinued this line.
