Koto Japan announced that Spike from Cowboy Bebop will have 2 versions, normal and DX. Any insight of what could be the extra for the DX version ?

Gonk, now we have the Star Wars ArtFX 1/7 line coming back with Kylo Ren will we see more in the line again?

If yes, will it be just be characters from the Force Awakens or could we see characters from other movies?

Thank you from both myself and my wallet! Those secondary market prices are scary.

While it's unlikely we'll be able to offer these products for $59.99 anytime soon the new price range appears to be anywhere from $69.99 - $89.99.

Thank you very much. It's good to know that they won't all be at least $89.99 going forward. I was hoping it was a case of intricacy rather than them all just being that MSRP. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Also one thing to ask more, when will the Kylo Ren ARTFX be available for pre-order approximately?

Hello, with the coming of the Vision Fine arts statue alot of fans are very excited but I have 1 concern towards the paint, especially on his face. I can't remember if it was a video or a thread post but I remember they mentioned the final product would have a Metallic paint for his face, which is great but I'd like to raise a concern towards the final painting of some bishoujos with metallic finishes. Just recently a bunch of us from a kotobukiya group here in the philippines noticed the Wonder Woman Armored bishoujo's red armor chest piece's metallic paint has faded. I hoped this was an isolated case but it happens quite a lot in other of bishoujo's with metallic finishes as-well and if that was the case I rather not have a metallic faced Vision if it would just fade over time :/
