The only issue would be for me is since I only get my statues from Amazon with not living in US, that release date will even be July-August 2017 for myself. Will be hard to wait until I get this, hopefully.
I order from there too, to save the shipping, but also to pace my purchases out. Specially since I'm playing catch up. But I can't wait to pair this one w 1/7th Maul. So I'm w you on this wait.

The main thing I wonder about this statue is if the lightsaber lights up just as Kylo Ren's lightsaber or not. You know, Kylo's lightsaber ignites the one main blade first and then the two vents which acts as a crossguard and stabilize the cyber crystal. Just as you can see here:



I sincerely hope Kotobukiya payed attention to this and this ArtFX also lights up the main blade first and then the vents after. This might be seeming as a minor thing maybe but this is a detail which would make the statue much beautiful if Koto didn't skip it.

Considering the 1/7 scale size of the statue, I'm pretty sure the LED is a single one that's either on or off, not lighting up 3 sections in sequence.

I thought this was a joke at first...

Amazing that Sideshow couldn't even do a light up in 1/4 and here we have a competent one in 1/7.
