The 12" SW and VCD are the most interesting for me personally. I will wait to see what the Dead figure turns out to be. What I like THE most about SSC is that you don't have to wait in a long line for your stuff. You get to pre order on line, pay, then just have to pick it up while you are at the show! I truly wish more companies (Hey Hasbro!) would do this. It would save so much time and agony of queing up and waiting for hours sometimes to get a figure.

So, the list has started. I wonder what else is coming?

KOTOBUKIYA NEWS: ANIME AIR STATUE!

Kotobukiya's Anime "Air".


AIR ANIME STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! AIR is an original Kotobukiya character, designed and illustrated by Niθ – also known as STUDIO THE EDGE, freelance mecha designers of Demonbane, Queen’s Blade, as well as other anime series. The design was then sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige and painted by Yukio Nishiyama especially for the Fuji Television program “Let’s Make Plastic Model Kits Custom”, which featured an in-depth analysis of the figure from concept to final product.

AIR is a modeler’s dream come true, with her large anthropomorphized airbrush, as well as other appealingly large features. AIR stands approximately 7 1/2" tall, and is packaged in a collectible window box. As you would expect from an item made by modeler’s for modeler’s, AIR is peerlessly crafted and impeccably detailed, and would be a welcome addition to anyone’s model shop workdesk!
