    Kotobukiya Co. are a Japanese company that produce (amongst other things) Star Wars figures. They are soft vinyl and snap together. I received the Jango Fett figure for my birthday and it is nice! They are expensive and you can see them here on
    Entertainment Earth. I had posted some info on Jango in a collecting thread on the London Fan Force
    board but some people had never heard of Kotobukiya,and I have not seen a thread on them on this board. They do have a website
    here
    but it is in Japanese.
    Do we have any other collectors of these figures out there?

    So far I only have the Clonetrooper. I haven't bought the Jango because I don't like what they did with the jetpack effect. I would have prefered they just gave Jango a menacing stance aiming his blaster and not done the jetpack effect. I'm still not sure if I want the Anakin, Obi-Wan and Mace/ Yoda figures because the face sculpts have an "anime" look to them. I don't think they resemble the actors at all.

    Sounds awesome, I like anime and I love Star Wars. Where do you get em' other than online. Or can you only get them online?

    My Jango was bought at Forbidden Planet in London (I was with the buyer at the time).
    They also had Anakin and the Clonetrooper.
    You *might* find them at a good SF specialty store like that, or perhaps a good model
    store. I doubt the local Toys-R-Us or
    Wal-Mart would carry them.
