SOTA has been around for about as long as I’ve been a grown up collector. The company has definitely had its ups and downs over the years, but they have managed to last when a lot of others have closed their doors. Now they’re back in 2012 with some really excellent product. Check the press release and images below:
LOS ANGELES, Calif., (Feb 14, 2011) – Leading toy manufacturer SOTA Toys, Inc. today announced their 2012 lineup showcasing the latest wave of high-end collectible art statues from critically and commercially acclaimed video game series.
