Kotobukiya!

Absolutely amazing!  I can't imagine how they could have done that translation from picture to 3D any better.  The blue reflection from Vader's saber is slick, and Luke looks great with the facemask.

THIS KOTO ROCKS!!!

I love all the McQuarrie Stuff we're getting this year...the book...the Hasbro figures...and now this!!!!!!

[ruiner]

Wow, I don't own any Koto kits but this one will be on my list for sure.

I've always loved that sketch.

[maulsith]

goodness,this is another awesome piece from the Koto folks after the released paired of Mace & Yoda in 2002,C-3PO & R2 in 2006,this is definitely a MUST OWN piece.Sculpture looks perfect and superb,and so are thier 3D actions style  though my main collection  are on  mainly Troopers.wonder what are the released price like esp.when i'm staying and purchasing it over the eastern part of the world..

What do these type of pieces usually cost?  I don't really like High end collectables that much, but this is very cool.

[Morgbug]

Anyone else have the feeling that Gentle Giant will jump on the McQuarrie bandwagon in fairly short order?  I think so and I'll wait for those to happen first.

now just imagine how different star wars would have been if that concept Luke made it to the big screen

Well I'm a big fan of KOTO, but those McQuarrie-stuff-figures just doesn't hit my brains positively, more badly negative .
I excualy hate all of the stuff (but that's personal) that's coming out this year that's related too McQuarrie .

Just look at that Vader... the whole head messed-up and the figure not as cool and powerfull as it just should be.
And Luke, he all f*ck*dup with that mask. And what's with those lame lightsabers?

I'm not sure if this line continues to 2008, but if it does, I would still NOT buy it, even if I got for free....

I love this piece.

This is concept art... not meant to be visualized pieces.

This is where it all came from...

And me, I only do Sith and Clones/Troopers, so this is a must for me.

Star Wars Shop has it available for pre-order - $199.99.

Thanks for the heads up!  I'm going to be patient and see how much other sites list it for - I think we can do better than $199.

[Nicklab]

Don't be so sure about that.  One little tidbit to come out of ToyFair is that Master Replicas is taking over US distribution of Kotobukiya products.  That may set more of a standard price, and those prices may tend to skew higher as MR's product runs a little more expensive.  When Dark Horse/Diamond were handling distribution you were very likely to get competitive pricing.  Now, I'm not so sure.

[DarkKnight2k4]

Truly we can do better. (Especially after shipping)

We will also see more this year:

C4 Exclusive.
SDC Exlcusive
ROTS Obi Wan
Grievous

Be ready !
