コトブキヤ

昨日はコトブキヤさんの本社でいろんなフィギュアを撮影させて頂きました。

まずはDOAXのLei Fangだ。1/6スケールで価格は8190円だ。もうすぐ発売です。

とても奇麗なフィギュアです。一日中写真撮っても飽きない。







これはARTFXシリーズのBoba Fett Ver2だ。
価格は10290円で、発売は3月です。

かっこうよさすぎます。

ベーダーよりボバ・フェットのコスチュームにしたら良かったのに。
ボバのコスチュームをベーダーのコスチュームと交換したい方がいれば教えてください。

The Star Wars, Clannad and Persona 3 figures got most of my attention ^^. Too bad I'm low in budget right now to spend on figures D=

Mostly have Max Factory in me little collection. I'd like to get all those Clannad ones. Boba Fett and Vader look good too, check out the detail on 'em, though Vaders pose looks kinda.....off, can't explain why i don't like it.

most of my collection consists of Kotobukiya figures, i'd refer to have some more Good Smile and Max Factory figures, but i find more Kotobukiya figures locally for great prices so i end up buying more of them as implulse buys. But when i pre-order figrues online i tend to drop Kotobukiya figures after some thought.

Well since they practically have a monopoly on good To Heart figures my collection is very much Kotobukiya-centric.
I also like Bandai alot they make cheap and good figures (their Gundam girls are win!)
An assortment of other ones, based on the characters they produce (ie MF Haruhi was superior to everything except perhaps Freeing).

That Ayane figure doesn't look too bad. Kinda disappointed with the Kotori one. The face just doesn't look that great. :(

Vader looks like he's making a cameo in a superman movie "It's a bird! it's a plane!...". And that Boba is awesome. Also, nice Ayane! I have another Kotobukiya Ayane, the version from Ninja Gaiden, but now it looks like she may have company.

That Lei Fang already available on PA. Im getting all shining series and maid TH2 of Koto's :D
They are the only company left offering figures at price below thir counterpart, which is the reason you'll be getting plain boring base etc

Fett looks awesome

Most of my figures are from Good Smile, through the winning margin is narrow. Two of them are from Good Smile, one from Max Factory and one from Yamato.
The other anime related goods are rather toys than figures.
The Kotori figure looks great. I'm not sure about buying it as I already have a figure of her and I don't have much space left in my room...

A Bobba Fett costume would be great. Imagine Akihabara - with BOUNTY HUNTERS!!!
Don't be like me and eat too many Pokky though, or you'll have to swap your Vader costume for a Jabba the Hutt costume!!!

I am.. embarrassed to be unable to vote in the poll. I don't have any figures T_T
I tried looking for one a few days ago, but realized I haven't really done my research on what's good and what's not. ^^; Until I actually do my research, I don't think I'm gonna have any :(

Most that I have are from Alter. but that will probably be changing in a few months

From my severely limited collection of PVC kits, I can say they are overwhelmingly Alter.
Kotobukiya and goodsmile have one or 2 but generally it's Alter if I decide to get PVC figures.
Their poses are jsut great and dynamic compared to other makers.

That Bobba Fett looks really good. The newer trilogy really ruined Star Wars for me though, so I pass on most Star Wars things.
Koto is very hit or miss for me, so I never pre-order their figures and wait for good reviews or wait to see them in person at conventions before picking them up.
Right now I have one more Alter figure than Max Factory, but with the MF Saber and Emiya in transit I will have 1 more MF figure by the end of the week.

I'm gonna go out and say that Bobba Fett and Vader are probably the best looking figures of the bunch. As well, I noticed the bases seem to connect and form the symbol of the Galactic empire! That means, there are still a couple statues missing for the whole base to be complete :O! I'm guessing a storm trooper will be on it's way. Maybe even a sandtrooper, snowtroopers, or perhaps even admiral piett :p

Yaaannnn... Moetan.. :3 I could request one of those as a "well done" present..... ok, shouldn't do that.

After a long look, Alter figures the most , follow of Kotobukiya and Megahouse.
Hmm, the DOA girls look good, also Moetans...

Kotobukiya made up most of my figures, majority of them from shunya yamashita illustrations.
i love figures from Alter and max factory as well. ^^,

I've found most of the big figures I own are Kotobukiya. But not because I chose them because of that lol. I think GoodSmile is one of my fave companies as well as Kotobukiya, because I havent been let down by either so far. I've got a Yujin too and she's lovely. :beam: All my figures are lovely really, I wouldnt buy them otherwise.... unless they were dirt cheap lol.

Boba Fett's armor is so cool! If I had the choice between many, I'd choose this one (but it is too bad parts don't come from a single group).
The 6th picture of Darth Vader is funny, it's like if our favorite Sith Lord would go for some opera singing.
I also like this version of Mirei-san, can't tell why.
*Begins counting the number of figures on the "To Heart2" phtographs... Huh, it's not necessary? Okay. ^^

I have quite many Kotobukiya figures. Actually I have more of them than figures from other manufacturers. And now when looking at those photos of new Kotobukiya figures, I think my collection is just going to get bigger soon. At least that Boba Fett looks great, and it'd be nice to have a couple of DoA figures too. But still I think that manufacturers are having difficulties to make DoA girls' faces look the same as in the game. These new ones don't look perfect either, but good enough, so I think I'd like to have at least Ayane and Lei Fang wearing white-blue top. Okay, Kasumi is my favourite, so it'll make it quite a difficult to decide which to get first.
I do also have figures from many other manufacturers. Max Factory seems to be quite popular. Maybe it's because many have their Haruhi. I got my MF Haruhi today, and have now three Max Factory figures. But Good Smile is still quite a new thing for me, only have one Mikuru. Had to buy it in the local comic store, because it was all alone there among all those scary Aliens and Predators.
By the way, Laughingman, have a look at the Kotobukiya web site, and you'll see, that those SW figures you were talking about in your post actually do already exist, at least most of them.

Oh DBlade, they are SOOOO necessary!! Sooooooooo many cute To Heart figures!!! I want the news ones!!! *is going to collect her Yoshioka on saturday(green hair, yellow top lol))
Also the one lying down with the ankle ribbon is so cute. The facial expression is adourable!!
Student
Which other figure companies tend to have less-than-average quality control in comparison to the more renowned ones like Alter, Goodsmile and Kotobukiya?
It's a tie between Alter & Megahouse... though I voted Alter cause I'm getting that 1/8 Nadie :) Why is Kaiyodo on that list? do they make that many figures like goodsmile or alter???? -_-;
Kotobukiya is my least favorite of the "Good" pvc makers... the figures usually lack shading or are too shiny... but the good point is that they're cheaper compared to the others

I only own 2 Kaiyodo Revoltech Evas, but I'm planning to buy some "real" figures ^^

Alter, Goodsmile and Max Factory account for 90% of the figures I buy.

The first big figure i bought was from halo 3, the masterchief artfx statue by kotobukiya, and i has really amaze with the details of the figure, something i think it's a trademark of the company.
About the figures you show, i would really like to have the darth vader one, but the to hearts ones looks really cool too.
The real problem it's not to buy all those figures. But to have money to buy all those goodies is another question.

Don't have figures. ;__;

Finally got my Chie Yoshioka which I ordered back in late November. She was so worth the wait!! (Regardless of the fact the colour combo of yellow and green is the Norwich City football team colours!! lol) She's just so darn cute!!! I think she comes 2nd or 3rd in my figure collection(12 and counting!! (13 including L-Nendo) I think I'm gonna try and get lots of To Heart 2 figures lol... got 2 already by accident hehe.)
But anyways! Her quality is awesome. And her pose is so cute and she has striped panties!!! lol And its yet another semi-cast off... WHY DO I BUY THEM?? lol :sob: It's not my fault.... It doesnt say you can take their skirts off anywhere I've seen....
