Yea, Kotobukiya makes all the statues look exactly like the drawings. I have a few Kotobukiya figures.
This is just another great example of why I love anime so much. I'll have to start investing in these figurines in the future.
Same here Grand_Viceroy. You can order those figures from comic stores. Look for a big book called Previews. Any good comic store or bookstore that sells comics has them. Past Present & Future has them, if you can't find them or there's no comic stores you can get to let me know & i'll find a website where you can order them.
