Excellent line-up, Maxwell. Don't think I don't notice your collection stretching off to the right.

So I bought the statue off Amazon Warehouse deals. Got a good price on it. The statue looks to be in fine shape however the box is bad. Now I knew this going in but Now I'm thinking perhaps I should have just held on a bit and got a new one. I'm not worried about resell value I want the piece but If I would chose to sell it the box would impact the price. Again I knew the box would have damage going in so this is on me but would it be worth taking the hit for the return (probably around $14) to grab a new one. Keep in mind this is all over a box which may be silly.

Doesn't amazon have free returns? I've rarely every had to return something to amazon, but on the occasion I had to, the process to print the return postage went through their site and I wasn't charged. And Amazon Warehouse Deals is part of amazon, so I would think it would work the same way.

Great throwback intro, good video review.

Saw this at my local LCS and was so looking forward to buying it, but the paint apps for me killed it. The black matte they chose is VERY VERY underwhelming in my opinion. So I regretfully passed I still have my bowen classic BP so I will be sticking with that one

For me, it was the exact opposite. I had a choice between the Koto Panther and the BD classic action Panther and I was blown away by how great the Koto Panther turned out. As soon as I saw the Koto BP at my LCS I jumped online and picked one up. Now he's proudly displayed in my Avengers lineup next to my BD museum Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Hey, at least there's some great options when it comes to BP in 1/6 scale. The only thing that's important is that you get the one that you like best for your collection. It looks like we both did that.

Hope they'd do a Classic costume variant for him but that's not a Kotobukiya thing.
Would have been an instant buy for me with the classic costume and it would have fit in better with the Classic Avengers Line even though its a standalone piece and the base is actually better and different from that Classic series.
Not a fan of the modern costume unfortunately and anyone who suggests get it customized.....

Damnit! Here we go again. Customized my Black Panther to how he was when I started reading comics. Was a lot of work but really happy with the way he turned out. He fits in better with the Classic Avengers like a glove now.
Hope you guys like it. Cheers
