It would be nice if Koto showcased their concept ahead of time, similar to what they did with the Adi Granov Avengers and X-Men ArtFX+. You see the characters that you're getting and then you either buy into the idea or don't. I'd love to see an Annihilation GotG ensemble in 1/6 Fine Art glory.

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

The high ES of the past 3-4 statues, i beg to differ. The demand is there no doubt. BP and Thanos will be high as well. Reasons Koto isn't taking over the 1/6th department are confusing and frustrating.

I can think of one reason that kotobukiya is really taking over the 1/6th line very fast, one they only have one sculptor for this line. Although Erick is am amazing sculptor he is only one man, he works for multiple companies his own, kotobukiya, dc, and others. I believe if kotobukiya really wanted to take the 1/6th fine art line by storm, they need more than one artist. I mean that's how Bowen pumped out all the statues a lot faster.

sad to say they just dont care about this line anymore..it is not their priority right now..they have switched to smaller scales which they can mass produce and which also caters to more customers so in the end its more profitable for them.

The 1/6 scale is ripe for the taking. With Bowen on hiatus and Kotobukiya showing no real interest in pushing their fine art line, it's really hard to comprehend no one wanting to take over that segment. Everyone seems focussed on the quarter scale. It's just a bummer and an eye opener of sorts as to how much Bowen dominated that scale. Would've loved to see Gentle Giant getting involved. They produce very few and far in-between but they do a stellar job when they do. Love the Ghost Rider that they did. One of my favourite statues in my collection.
Maybe it's a license and feasibility thing who knows?
Sucky times for us collectors of this scale.
The good part is.... It saves you some cash.

Very true. if Koto pulled the trigger, i'm sure Sosa got some pros in waiting.

Your totally right. Quantity over quality. Such a shame. We can still hope tho.
