I really want to like and collect koto's marvel offerings, but it seems like prices are going up and quality going down. Never a good sign for a company/line.

...my desire for Colossus depends highly on the paint application!!

looks like Koto has dropped the ball yet again when it comes to finishing Erick's brilliant sculps
incredibly disappointing paint..and unfortunately it seems this is becoming commonplace with this company

if they are gonna switch the paint, they should at least update the pictures that are being used to promote it. every seller ive seen has the chrome paint photo listed. people are gonna feel taken if thats not what shows up on the doorstep.

and you'd think for 250, they'd be able to maintain the paint *curious*

IMHO, If Colossus is not gonna be chromed then it should be priced the same as the Koto Hulks.

Wow yeah that is a huge difference. Paint is super dull.

I would also echo on the paint issue. The worst part is to put cheap paint on gorgous sculpt....what the heck guys?! Do the right thing!!!!

Koto needs to step their paint game up. This entire line deserves better. Paint can make or break a statue.
