Well, it's still December 31st here where I live and I would like to wrap up this year by doing a photo shoot for the "just arrived" 1/4 Pre-painted Kos-Mos version 4 (Happy New Year to the folks in Eastern Hemisphere though!). I have always been a fan of Kos-Mos and the Xenosaga series, version 4 in particular is my favorite. Over the years, there had been rarely any good Kos-Mos figure, the Happinet version was fairly close but the expression seemed a bit too blank, the Alter 1/7 version was ok but the face sculpt really didn't deliver for me, but I think my favorite version up to this point is the Alter 1/6 Kos-Mos Swimsuit version.
