Kotobukiya’s Star Wars line of products has never been stronger, with everything from ARTFX and ARTFX+ statues to kitchen items, Bishoujo, and more. At this year’s Toy Fair the company celebrated its 60th anniversary and showed off even more cool stuff on the way. In the cool ARTFX+ line the Dark Side was very strong with Boba Fett Return of the Jedi Ver., Jango Fett, Darth Maul, and a prototype of a fantastic new General Grievous! The evil cyborg will come equipped with display options for four arms or two, and Koto is working on cape options. The ARTFX+ area also included an impressive display of Darth Vader with a pair of Royal Guards and tons of Stormtroopers.

Other than Grievous, the big news was new Star Wars business card holders ($29.99), already best sellers overseas but appearing for the first time in the U.S. The line begins with Han Solo in Carbonite and R2-D2. A display card promised that Koto has three more designs on the way!

Also on hand was the new Jaina Solo Bishoujo Statue, the first Star Wars entrance in that product type, and fun kitchen items including silicone ice trays and lightsaber chopsticks.

Yeah I got a couple of those Imperial Guards for my Vader (the first one they put out) and plan to buy a few more as soon as I can afford it. Very nice figs!

Since Hasbro cancelled the Star Wars Unleashed line (DUMB move Hasbro!), all my Star Wars spending money is going to Kotobukiya.

For the Kotobukiya Star Wars line from the movies I'd like to see them make Bib Fortuna, Saesee Tiin and Shaak Ti.

But actually my dream line would see them start making "expanded universe" characters as well, like Darth Talon, Cyborg Darth Maul, Darth Wyrrlok, Darth Krayt, and basically ANY Sith lord that has appeared in the expanded universe I would buy.

Come on Kotobukiya, do it!
