The producer and art director of the game is very excited about this product and they have given us encouraging comments:

“As long time model fan, I am constantly amazed at how well made recent pre-painted figures has become. At the sametime I often times felt that when something from a virtual CG 3-D world become real life 3-D objects, there are always some sort of compromise. With these Kotobukiya action figures, I simply can’t find any. What is more, they have succeeded in capturing the texture and even the atmosphere as if it were to exist in this world. When all is said (and done), is it impossible for virtual reality to compete against real life? This is a great collector’s item that makes me feel that way. Hats off to Koto!”

Lost Planet 2 Producer Jun Takeuchi

“I was very surprised to see the final product.  Koto has successfully turned the game image into 3-D sculpt. On top of that I was deeply moved by how much each parts move.  As you can interchange parts, the specs are just like the game.  I wish they release all VS with this quality.”

LOST PLANET 2 Art Director Takahiro Kawano
