Mimics Golumn's voice from Lord of The Rings:

"Never! She's my pre......cious"


I think she is still available on Ebay from time to time. She was my very first GG bust.

thanks for the reference pic
they do seem a little bit smaller, compared to a GG, but I still believe I'm getting more and more exited about these. Cab't wait til Wolverine is announced

I'd buy the punisher if they sculpt more details and definition to the vest, change the pose and change the torch to some machine gun...

Are these 1:6 scale like the GG ones? I think they are supposed to be. In the photo Persephone is closer to camera so she looks larger. Do you have any of the males to put inbetween them, so we can see how scale compares?
I wouldn't mind FF and X-Men movie busts from Koto. The FF could look halfway decent especially if they "cheat" Ben and make him larger. I did not like the GG X-Men busts, so would like to see Koto take a crack at tose. And since GG has also abandoned the LoTR bust line it seems, Maybe Koto could take that over as well. I have no plans to buy either Koto statues or the upcoming comic busts, but would buy into a line of well done movie busts, so am definitely keeping an eye on these. I'd also be open to seeing a Jenifer Garner Elektra. Yep the movie was blecch, but so what.

The Kotobukiya busts look smaller than the GG busts.



I tried to put them in line side by side. Lining up their torsos. Persephone has a much wider base.

Yeah, what GG did through Diamond Select for the X3 movie busts were not so good. I was expecting them to be great like GG's Matrix busts.

I think Gonk said whether Kotobukiya would make Mr.Fantastic, Human Torch and Jessica Alba Invisible Woman from the movie will depend how well the first 2 FF busts such as The Thing and Silver Surfer fair in sales.

At first, I thought these square marquee bases were not very nice looking. But now, they don't really bother me that much.

Oh yeah, Jennifer Garner Elektra would be a nice addition to the Kotobukiya movie busts. But which costume? As Garner appeared in the black costume ala DareDevil movie or in the red costume ala Elektra movie? I prefer the red one.

That DD is awesome! Nice pick up.

I think that the marquee bases are a neat touch espcially if you get a few over a diverse cross section of Marvel movies.

I really like the DD bust; I loved the movie also (directo's cut edition was perfect). I'll buy 1 of it.
