Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

how is the size of that Koto Doom compared to Bowen statues? Is he a little bigger or does he fit in just right?

-

I only have one Bowen piece, the Action Thor statue. He fits perfectly, knowing that Doom is inside the armor.

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

I found some pics of X 23.

You're right about the sloppy paint app.

The paint is bleeding all over the place.

Yeah the Avengers statues are strange. Look at Koto's new X Force Archangel.

Nice pose,

with nice,

& clean paint app.

I purchased Koto's Deadpool statue today from Alter Ego Comics. I think I might get it next month. I wanted the red one, but it doesn't seem to be 'in stock' at the normail eTailers I visit, & the one I saw on Ebay today would cost me over $600 shipped I've been interested in the Deadpool statues for a bit, but I think the head sculpts were holding me back. Maybe a bit too over wrinkled for my taste. But I'm curious to see it 'in hand', so I purchased the cheaper X Force version

Edit: For those of you with Ikea detolfs, is it safe to display these statues (& will they fit) in them? I haven't got a Detolf yet (the cheapest one I can find here is a little over $200US ), but I want one. I seem to always choose getting another figure/statue, over getting a detolf

No way would i pay $600 for a Koto Deadpool. Check out Bowens new Deadpools coming out, hes releasing an Action Pose one and an X-Force Museum one, both look mighty fine and are the two I'll be getting

Anything under under 16 inches will fit on a detolf shelf.

I only found out about Bowens new Deadpool statues. I'm only interested in the red one, & maybe the faux bronze re release of Bowen's older Deadpool statue. Personally, I'm not feeling Bowen's X Force Deadpool. I think my problem with the Bowens X Force statue, is the same problem I initially had with the Koto's, which was the mask sculpt. That's me though

Why couldn't I have found out about Bowen's Deadpool earlier? Might not have gone through with my Koto purchase had I known. Oh well

Edit: Changed my mind. The Bowen is due out in October, so I'll have some time to appreciate the Koto

Anything under under 16 inches will fit on a detolf shelf.

Appreciated. Thanks

To say that it is definitely not Erick's best work is an understatement

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

My Koto Magneto is spot on, paint app is perfect. BTW this is my 1st Koto piece and it won't be the last.

Hello all,
new here...posted a couple times...I usually share over at OSW...but since there is a thread for this thought I would contribute.

I recently started Koto Marvel and am very happy with them since they are the classic comic versions.

Here is a group pic of the recent release of Thor and Capt.

Can't wait for more X-men!

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

I've seen some pretty nasty pics of the Koto Cap & Thor, what are your impressions Mark?

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

Looks nice..

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

I actually think the Hawkeye statue looks pretty cool. I like the colour scheme, the pose, basically the overall look. I imagine if he was one of my fav superheroes, this statue would be bought.

That's a boss Hawkeye! I really like that shade of blue too.

I don't think I've ever been to this thread before, but I should start popping in every once in a while.

I'm glad you guys like Hawkeye. Erick Sosa sculpted this Hawkeye digitally, and I painted that prototype in the pics. I also did the earlier Spider-man. I'm currently painting an X-Force Wolverine, and will be doing Venom, Dare Devil and more in the coming months. Erick is the only American sculptor Koto uses, and he does all of these, and I am his official painter now. These are fun to do. A nice departure from 1/6 action figure parts.

Cool; keep the colors classic! Hawkeye looks boss. Your flesh tones look real good too.

Erick hinted that he is making one to go with the Classic Avengers set.

The proto paint app is sweet. You got skills

The production line paint app on the other hand, varies a bit with each release

Re: Kotobukiya Fine Art line

I think part of the problem is that different artists have worked on the protos, making them inconsistant in style, and then you have the usually factory issues.
