When it comes to Japanese toy brands, few are as recognizable as Kotobukiya.
Founded in 1953 as a toy store, Kotobukiya eventually branched out into its own line of original plastic model kits and 3D figurines.
We decided to take a look at the most valuable among the Kotobukiya figures, which depict licensed characters remodeled as female heroines.

Not too many people know that the very first co-branding action made by Funko was with Kotobukiya in 2010. They released Japanese Baseball mascots as Wacky Wobblers and from the lesser-known series Computer Sitters with the idea of promoting those kind vinyl figures in the Japanese market. The packaging is very cool, and we can watch both logos in the front of the box and the amazing Japanese typing. Here is the HobbyDB link with all of them https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items?filters%5Bq%5D%5B0%5D=funko%20kotobukiya
