Koto figures are in the 1/7 scale and generally stands about 11" in overall height. Unlike other figures, they are non-articulated but the poses that they come in, are usually quite awesome.

They also come pre-painted and the details are very good. I currently have 17 Kotobukiya Star Wars figures and counting. :)

Read somewhere that Kotobukiya will be releasing a figure of General Grievous soon!

After the just-released Luke Skywalker in classic Tatooine gear from A New Hope should be either the C-3PO and R2-D2 two pack, or Slave Leia.

General Greivious from Revenge of the Sith is also a Confirmed release for this year or early next year. However I have yet to hear any word on Princess Leia Organa in classic white dress from A New Hope, although it's supposed to be confirmed.

Sure! :D

Scout Trooper X 2 (one is Mint in Box and one displayed)
Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise
Snow Trooper
Sand Trooper X 2 (Orange Pauldron - Commander) (one is Mint in Box and one displayed)
Sand Trooper (White Pauldron - Sergent) (Exclusive)
Sand Trooper (Black Pauldron - Corporal) (Exclusive)
Boba Fett
501st Div Blue Clone Trooper X 2 (one is Mint in Box and one displayed)
Red Shock Trooper (Exclusive)
White Clone Trooper (AOTC Version) X 2 (one is Mint in Box and one displayed)
Darth Vader (Episode III)
Commander Bly
Jango Fett

That makes up the total of 17. Looking to add Darth Maul to my collection but I can't seem to find it anywhere for a reasonable price. :) I passed over Han Solo as well as the recent release of Luke Skywalker because of budget constraints. On hindsight, that recent Luke release is actually quite nice. But no choice, due to lack of budget, got to prioritise.

In addition, I also have a 1/7 Scale Kotobukiya Spiderman which I bought from TFH for around S$135 sometime late last year. This one is awesome.

I have an extra Koto Han Solo if you want to get it in the future.

My collection of the Kotobukiya figures only started the last couple of years. I like the figures because the poses they come in are simply awesome.

Hey bro donleow, read on this thread that bro plo's offering you his Koto Sand Trooper Corporal! That will make a great addition to your collection!

My set of 3 Koto Sand Troopers are my favourites. In addition to this, I also have a complete set of Sand Trooper Mini-Busts from Gentle Giant; the Orange and White Pauldrons which I bought from Metro and some Convention Exclusive (not sure which convention that was!) Black Pauldron which I traded for with another guy on the internet using one of my Koto Clone Trooper. :)

Bro maulsith, heard that one of the shops at the ground floor of CSC is selling their Koto figures for around S$90 each. So far, the best price I have come across. You may want to check it out. Can't remember the shop name but you should be able to find it at the ground floor of CSC, they have lots of Kotos on display at their window display shelves.
