Koto Ralph McQuarrie concept piece

[Darth Madden]

Chewie doesn't look too good... I'm glad they changed him.

 

[Kyuzo]

Holy smoke! Didn't see this one coming...Koto really surprises with that iconic McQuarrie scene; glad to see them upping the ante and overcoming some of my earlier reservations about them...

 

[JohnyBoo]

I have several Kotos and I love them. I will be on board for this McQuarrie concept as well. I especially love the colors used on this piece.

 

[The ill Jedi]

I'm a huge McQuarrie fan...I really like how this looks.

Are preorders up yet?(link?) And is anyone gonna grab the new McQuarrie book coming this spring?

Since it's a career retrospective, I wonder how many of the 400 pages will be devoted to non-Star Wars work.

It says that 130 pages are devoted to Star Wars.

I'd love to get the book, but it isn't cheap. SWS is also offering McQuarrie prints.

I think i HAVE to get the book i love his art.I want to preorder this koto in a bad way.

Ah, I guess I should learn to read the whole article before posting.

I don't know if I'll get it since most of that is probably already in the "Art of..." books that came out with each movie.

This will be the only Koto I'll get.

 

[Batty]

I haven't seen the Koto piece up for pre-order yet.

Here's the book info. I would love a signed edition.

Oh yeah... I WILL own that piece. Very nice and a fitting tribute to McQuarrie. No matter what, a must own for me.

 

[Darthrazz]

I agree with some of the previous posts. It would have been nice to see this version of Vader in ROTS.

I can just see it now...one of our many talented board members will cut this up make a custom Vader from it. I can't wait!


On a side note...Isn't it amazing how much stuff can be produced from the Star Wars universe?? Lucas is riding the mother of all cash cows and gravy trains!!

I really am pumped for this, it'll be my first Koto!

Seriously, this is one of the most incredible SW pieces I have ever seen. I can't wait for it.

I have to agree, It's so unique. I can see myself getting this. Even the designs that were not used in the films are amazing. Interesting enough. Some of the unused designs from the OT actually showed up in the PT. The ship from the opening scene of the Phantom Menace was a unused concept from the original trilogy.

I think it's too early in the Sideshow line to see something off center like a McQuarrie concept figure... there is just too many figures left to do before them. Where as Koto has amassed quite a numerous collection of Star Wars items.

But you can always hope. As will I.

I don't know about that. I don't anyone would have predicted getting Asajj Ventress, Jabba the Hutt, Bubo, Kit Fisto or Plo Koon PreOrdered before any ANH characters or Darth Vader or Palpatine.

SST definitely likes to keep their collectors guessing with this line and I expect that a McQuarrie Concept of some kind isn't out of the realm of possibilities because it'd be a quick seller not to mention it scream Con Exclusive. The real question is if anyone at SSC thought about this before this year as the folks at Koto obviously have....

Retail is $199.99, but it comes with Vader and Luke.

Big Bag Toy Store has it up for $169.99, but it may show up cheaper elsewhere.

Crap... more than I was thinking. Might have to think about it now.
