If you haven't seen these before, they're pretty mindblowing.   www.rokutoys.com/products.htmI personally don't have any room for them (and I don't buy statues if I can't display them), but I'd LOVE to own Jotoro. |

By the way, roel, the maker of these statues, is also behind the Usagi Yojimbo film that's currently seeking backers. |

I don't own a single bust as I have nowhere to put it, but someday perhaps.
Thanks for posting these Shax. Didn't know about either the figures or the movie.
Usagi has always been ok, but I'm waiting for a good sale to buy into a nice long run.
Wanted to meet Stan Sakai at the last Planet Con but was out of town and unable to, darn it.

Usagi has always been ok, but I'm waiting for a good sale to buy into a nice long run. I know you tend to buy via comixology, but if you buy the print or Kindle versions of the Usagi Yojimbo Saga Editions, you get six hundred pages (or roughly 30 issues) for $18 print (a little more than 50 cents an issue) or $12.50 Kindle (even cheaper). The only problem with going this route is that the Saga editions begin roughly ten years into the series (after Usagi switched publishers for the second time). All the stories before that are compiled in the Usagi Yojimbo Special Edition, but it's print only, and it's $50 for roughly 1200 pages (approx 80 cents per issue). |

Thx for the info, Shax.
I love Comixology for many reasons, one of them being the virtual storage aspect, but, considering the pricing with the aforementioned volumes, I'll make an exception.
I'll be getting both of these !
Right now it's wallet stretching with DC's Convergence 2 month event.

I've only read a little Usagi but liked what I've read.

Funny, I know someone who was looking for a good cause to donate a Jotaro statue to..... he was thinking of making it a prize in some kind of special contest sometime in the near future. |

Hmm, I wonder who that might be....  My recently acquired series one set... Not the best of photos, but you get the idea...   |

Those look great and they do Sakai's art justice.

The armored Usagi is my favorite of all the statues, I think (I don't have any of them, so this is based entirely off of pictures I've seen). I'd love to get these statues some day. |

I recently acquired all of Series One awhile back. They look (and are) awesome. Though I need to find something to properly display them. As of right now, I only have Usagi on display in my already overcrowded bookshelf.
