Cool, I hope he can finish Storm so the pieces look consistent since I think he did all the Xmen pieces for kotobukiya.

He's done all of the 1/6 Marvel Fine Arts pieces for Koto.

Bowen pulled off a really cool white costume variant so maybe Koto can do the same thing. Make silver standard of course.
See, you'd like that it would be case where collectors could get a silver suit because it's comic accurate. Turns out, Chunkster, that all companies that ever made the Jim Lee suit have painted it white.

ALL of them. I'm not kidding. ALL. There are ZERO licensed products out there where her suit is comic accurate silver. I understand where the idea that it's "white" comes from, it was white in the cartoon. SOME collectors think that therefore, ALL of the statues need to be a white suit. They don't. And it's frankly, getting to be ridiculous. I mean, it's easier to get your hands the comics books than it is to watch the old FOX cartoon. As far as I know, that cartoon is on lockdown and not repeated on any channel.

So from your keyboard to Koto's ears that silver should be the standard. This diehard Ororo fans is STILL waiting for somebody to paint her costume silver.

That doesn't excuse Koto dropping the metallic paints they used from Psylocke to Magneto and then going with flat colors with Cyclops and on...

So my statement still stands.

Even XM's new Storm statue is white and that's like the RR of statues.

That inore list feature sure comes in handy.

Well Psylocke was the wrong color in the first place. Her suit is Sparkly Navy blue with a baby blue sash when it should have been black and a white sash. Maybe they switched because the factory producing them couldn't get the colors correct.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
