A new line of premium limited edition statues has been announced by Kotobukiya. The ARTFX Premier Statues will feature high quality designs, with only a set number of statues available for each character. The initial images showcase their takes on Marvel Comics icons Captain America and Thor. While the scale for the line hasn’t been announced, the initial images remind me of Sideshow’s long running Premium Format Figure statue line. From Koto:
It’s finally here!
ARTFX Premier is a high-quality statue line that challenges the limits of product development by capturing characters in the highest possible level of detail.
The statues in this line are limited to a select number of pieces worldwide, and each one comes with its own unique collector number.Next update on 2/16/2019.
We will update with further details when they are available. These statues should be on display at Kotobukiya’s Toy Fair booth this weekend. You can see the preview photos by clicking the headline of the story.
Kotobukiya Announces ARTFX Premier Statue Line
This looks really good. I can't wait to see better pictures and know more info on size and cost.
ARTFX usually means 1/6 scale, hope they decide to go 1/4 scale with this, instead.
I'll splurge for that Cap if it's 1/6 scale (really nice Cap!!!), but no bigger due to cash and space limitations.

I'm not going to support these price hikes ($140-160 for a 7 inch figure/statue!!!). I remember when their artfx line used to cost $50-70 just two years ago. Granted, these are better quality, but that doesn't justify the cost imo. I mean look at companies like Banpresto, they're putting out quality stuff at a quarter of the cost of these guys. I'm getting really tired of the raised prices across the board in this hobby (Sideshow PF, Prime 1, heck, even DC collectibles have been going crazy lately...)
I guess this is going to be the new norm.
