Title: New items in my collection
Post by: Tatooine_Todd on September 09, 2007, 06:10:35 AM
Hey all,
     Added a couple more Kotos to my collection.  I really love these statues/models, the detail is amazing, and the poses are very dynamic and cool.

     I picked up a Commander Bly and a SDCC exclusive Utapau trooper (goes nicely with the MR helmet ;D).

     Here's a pic of my growing Koto collection.  I also have an OT Sandtrooper on the way.  Gonna focus on OT troopers next.

Looks cool Todd, The display area you have for them looks nice, like how they are lighted.

There's a single flourescent bulb above and center.  It does a good job.  The cabinet is really great and it was free!  My freind works at a trade show display company and gets me stuff free.  This cabinet was built, never used, and was to be pitched.  I snagged it up immediately.

Watch eBay.  I got my Sandtrooper for $18.50 plus shipping!  Quite a deal.  Shipping was a bit stiff, but basically I got a great scuplt for less then $35.00 total (Shipping was $15.00 I believe).

Thats great your friend got you that display case, sure does help to display the pieces. For myself, I have a Glass Display case I got from a co workers for about 50 dollars. I cleaned it up and put a lot of my smaller items like Mini Sabers and Gentle Giant Busts in it.

That is the great thing about the Kotos, with some looking you can usually find them for a decent price.

Those are really nice, Todd.  I haven't picked up a Koto yet, but that Commander Bly has tempted me often.
