Griffon that looks great! Love the backdrop. I may have to do the same, what did you use to re-attach the wire? (I am getting black suit). The statue seems to have come out well thankfully!

where did you order from? Even on Koto's store it says unreleased!

It’s always released in Japan earlier.

Thank you, just scissors to cut the wire (bent that end into an L shape) reapplied a tiny bit of super glue & placed back into the club.

Yeah Koto's factory kept the dark shading for definition while DD's eye lens plus chest emblem has a gloss finish. The rest has a mid-matte paint app.

Imported from AmiAmi Japan.

Sucks we can't get a Luke Cage to match the more classic looking Iron Fist.

So my daredevil artfx+ arrived and it’s great! Really great. Except for one the thing, it’s probably 1/10th smaller scale than the avengers/x-men lines. I don’t understand why Koto have done this

I really wanted to have the marvel heroes standing together, but with daredevil being towered over by the other avengers it doesn’t look right. I actually also think the Spider-Man figure is the slightly smaller scale too (was the only one I collected from that line) but couldn’t tell because he is crouched.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any guesses as to why? I’m hoping it’s not, but I imagine it’s due to cost savings for a smaller model. Which is sad because the prices of the statues are actually going up.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

So, basically $70 for a 6 inch figure?

Avengers line most have standing poses & are based on Adi Granovs work. Defenders all have their knees bent & based on Dale Keowns art style.

It’s only a few cm shorter than say Captain America, and yes, as Griffon said, the poses have knees bent but that’s not what I’m saying!

If you put daredevil back to back with Cap, you can see shoulder width is smaller - not because he has smaller shoulders but the scale is slightly smaller!!

I can’t be the only one who has noticed this!?

I wonder if at SDCC we'll get yellow t shirt luke cage? There has only been the Supergirl exclusive so far, that can't be all! Surely?!

The release date of Luke Cage standard is this month! Fits in nicely with the Season 2 just being released, what great timing from Koto!
