What the hell happened to "Quality licensed merchandise" as being the reason
for the 5 year delay in such things as action figures etc.  Have you SEEN
the Kosh Naranek figure?  It looks horrible and neither color variation has
the right color scheme for our favorite Vorlon.

For the last 5 years I've desperately wanted a Kosh figure to sit on my desk
above my computer overlooking my workspace like some modern gargoyle.  When
I heard they had been released I rushed out to the nearest store and saw  a
pathetically ugly piece of poorly painted plastic crap being sold for $12.99
(?!?!?)

I had respect for your choice to withhold licensing in order to maintian the
quality of the "franchise" but when the final result of all the waiting is
this hideous I have to wonder if you just didnt finally sell out...

You said before that all the licensed products had to cross your desk before
they were authorized...were you away from the desk the day this THING went
by?

Yes I am pissed,

Michael Jacobs

I guess opinions vary...I think it looks kind cool.

Question: did you get the one that actually says Kosh, or the Vorlon Visitor
figure?  If the latter, the color scheme is off because it ain't Kosh.  The one
that says Kosh is pretty close, in my view.

Got mine the other day, and rather like it.
