Not at all, man.

The only FA statue in the near future is the Juggernaut, and he's still months away. Then you have the new Wolverine which isn't even due out 'til months into the next year. Haven't seen any good painted pictures of Wolverine to help with the boredom except a vague pic from some comic show. I would've picked up the Avengers Hulk, but the paint app was a complete let-down and I ended up settling for an older Art Asylum Hulk...which was an awesome choice in the end.

Waiting around like this, this long, for Koto Fine Art statues just really sucks. Sorry for the rant. I'm just sick to death of seeing all these new smaller statue lines getting revealed over and over and seeing very, very less of Fine Art reveals. The Koto board on this site is totally dead. Nothing to talk or get excited about except the usual 1/7 or 1/10 scale stuff...which isn't very exciting to begin with.

i agree, Koto really miss the boat with Bowen being unable to produce statues this whole year. They should really have ramp it up to pick up slack and they could have made big time money. And like you said they do not only have nothing come out for months they also do not have any pre-orders for months either.

I share everyone's frustrations because I've been hooked ever since the Danger Room Sessions characters first appeared. Koto just needed to tighten up their QC, and they could give Bowen a run for their money, even if they didn't tap into the well of characters that Bowen is known for. Sosa's style and statues put them on the map in a big way.

There are a few more unrevealed statues on the horizon after Brown Wolverine, so I'm looking forward to Comic Con. But the Fine Art line seems to be on borrowed time, as Koto emphasizes their ArtFX PVC creations.

LOL, there is more people in Bowen section than in KOTO, and bowen has not even been producing anything this whole year.

At the moment I see 1 more user in the Bowen section than in Koto's. Even if the difference were higher, not sure what point you would be attempting to illustrate.

he looks like Elijah wood with a teenage wanna be beard

Looks like a blonde archer wearing a green hood and a mask to me, but to each their own.

I can totally see that!

this just looks incredibly poor to me...like something I'd expect in a McDonalds Happy Meal

I got this today, and I couldn't agree more. I'd seen it in person and liked it, but the green eyes are terrible. Total misfire. I bought it and repainted the eyes white, and it looks 100x better.

I should have taken a pic before I resealed it (I'm carrying it to work to put on my desk with the rest of the ArtFx+ pieces), but in case anybody wanted to see what the face looks like with white eyes:

Just sharing my new Kotobukiya 1/10 ArtFX+ Green Arrow statue. He originally had metallic green lenses but the colour blended with his goggles.

So like Mammal, i also repainted it with Tamiya white but added dark green & turned it into a domino mask instead.
