Just received my first Koto, Boba Fett!

I am very impressed the quality of the peice is as good if not better than many of the statues i have seen and as a result i have now ordered Yoda and a Scout Trooper.

I had some Koto statues, but sold them because the vinyl bended after displaying them for a while. I had to bend them back using warm water.

I prefer harder materials which stand the test of time.

I also have the Koto Maul and Vader. Sculpts look nice but I too, prefer the solid and heavy stuff...

I just got my first Kotobukiya piece (and my first non-marvel related statue) the other day. It's Ayane from Ninja Gaiden, and I love it. It's the softer PVC, but it's beautifully detailed and painted. I also found a store (bigbadtoystore.com) that was selling her for super cheap, $36 instead of $60-$130, like on ebay. She's great quality, as far as I can tell, and the packaging wasn't quite like an action figure, she was in clear hard plastic that just "sandwiched" her in place and was held on by two pieces of tape. No twist ties or cutting the plastic. So you could put her back in the box just like new if you needed to. I like their stuff so far, and I've been considering getting more of thier work. Her pose doesn't look like it would be one that should bend, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I was thinking of getting Ryu Hayabusa since I was a big fan of the Ninja Gaiden game. Anybody get him yet?

I got RYU a couple weeks ago and it kicks @ss! He's a big one too, a bit over a foot tall. He's a bit tanner than in the pics.

I dont think i'll be getting the 2 females from the new game though. I just have no connection to them since I havent played the new game yet. It'd be great to see a JAQUIO and ASHTAR figure in scale with this one...although, they would be huge mofos @ that scale. Now if they made a Kelbeross statue... (Hardcore NGaiden NES fans will know what I'm talkin bout Willis)

My son just got this and he said it is fantastic!

I was tempted buying that ryu once or twice you can get some great deals on this piece, but the character means nothing to me, so decided to pass....

Which two females are you refering to?

I just ordered the Yuna PVC statue and am looking for the Quistis one as well. I love the quality and detail.
