6. What are common questions about Kotobukiya Figures?
6.1. Who established Kotobukiya?
Kotobukiya's origins trace back to Japan in 1947 when it was founded by Jusaburo Shimizu as a solitary toy store specializing in dolls. In 1953, in collaboration with his two brothers, Mr. Shimizu transformed his sole proprietorship into a limited liability company.
6.2. Is Kotobukiya Figure known for its exceptional quality?

Unlike some manufacturers, they do not recycle old models to create new ones, as this can lead to dust contamination and compromise material integrity. With stringent quality control measures and the use of high-grade materials, Kotobukiya not only delivers more expensive statues but also ensures that they are of superior quality.
6.3. What contributes to the higher price tag of Kotobukiya products?
It's primarily the elevated standards of quality control and the use of premium-grade materials that drive up the cost.
