Kotos look extremely nice, and this Vader is no exception.  My biggest problem with them is cost.  True, they do come from Japan which is where some of the cost comes from, but for the price of these, especially the newer ones, I can get one or two Sideshow 12" figures that are fully poseable.  The new light up feature really does bring a new element of coolness, but I'm still not sure I want to drop that much coin on a plastic statue.

With Kotos better to do is the waiting game. Excepting a few rare releases like the 2 Sandtroopers or colored phase one Clones, all others can be found later at half price or even less. Personally I'm going to pass on this Vader, unless a very good deal comes. I'm not very fond of the pose either, looks like he is pooping.
