a few places have been taking pre orders on this but of course jacking up the price to like well over 300US and even 400-500US. although i have not seen any go up on mcfarlanes website store where the halo one is.
400-500US is not the price range I know they mentioned.
it was only below 300 I believe..
EDIT: oh its 295 mentioned above.

Was it ever mentioned how limited it truly is?
I always assumed it was only to be sold through the spawn store.

yeah they stated it is $295US for market price. but outside sellers are selling it for 400-500US. quite annoying.

they say 500 units worldwide. it should be available in the spawn store. but when i have no idea.
cheapest I found online was from BBTS. but $350 excl shippng fee, and it is sold out now.

Had been tailing the statues from midnight of the 13th USA time and managed to get hold of the artist proof one. I shall also be receiving the painted one from forbidden palnet uk which would add up to the same price due to vat and duty charges. Can't wait to see them

I believe most of us feel the same way... it's a stupid idea, and only selling because there are 'only 50 made'. All they did was take 50 off of the production line and are selling incomplete statues with a different plaque.

It was available earlier. I'm glad it's gone now. Ever since they announced it, it actually turned me off from buying either statue entirely. I don't like how they handled this... not painting a statue is not a limited 'variant', it's simply an incomplete statue. Now if it was an entirely different outfit or pose, then by all means I would have purchased both.

you didnt buy even the painted one? that is one of the detailed AC statue Ive seen, IMO. and price is not bad in terms of size,.
about the unpainted, I had a second thought, yes it is definitely an incomplete statue, but I said to myself, I will just end up buying it someday, so why not buy it now.
anyway, its everyones decision..
SwiftDeath
12-14-2013, 11:18 PM
Hmm I actually much prefer the unpainted artist proof approach to the gold painted approach a lot of other exclusive variants of limited statues have. A lot classier
That being said I still prefer the exclusive version to have a different pose or changeable piece that makes it unique
I'd probably feel less happy about the ACIV artist proof statue if there didn't already exist unpainted artist proofs of the other statues
Those artist proofs are incredibly rare and completely genuine. The ACII statue artist proof that the French AC collector has on here for instance. Somewhat feels like the continuation of that

I waited all year to buy this statue but when the 'artist proof' nonsense popped up it left a bad taste in my mouth. Didn't purchase either. Debating if I'm going to at all now. :nono:
buy the painted, not the unpainted. I know somehow you wont regret buying the painted. since it looks incredible.
@swift, I remember that unpainted AC 2 statue, and I said to myself, that looks rare and raw and exclusive, I want to have that someday. now these unpainted became for sale and it reveals how limited they are, 50 is very limited, within less than 2 days, sold out already, the first time it was announced I definitely want to get this. and I did, hoping to get lower number too.
so I know I wont regret buying this unpainted. and beside, years from now, we might see some of these up for sale on bay for shocking price, so feel lucky to got one :)

That's my problem with it though. Any real collector who isn't some scumbag reseller shouldn't care what the 'value' is as they would never sell it.
Also what angered me is I tried to email them and their contact form errors out every time. Then I called them about five times throughout the day, during business hours, and not once did they answer, always a voicemail.
If they did answer and gave me the info I wanted to hear, I would have purchased both. So if they can't answer the phone nor have any way to contact by email to buy something and become a new paying customer, then they won't get my business at all.
you mind if I ask what information you want to hear?
Romeo
12-15-2013, 12:51 AM
you mind if I ask what information you want to hear?
I tried writing them days ago, and calling the morning the statues went live to find out if I could get matching numbers. It would be the only way I'd buy both. Since their email form is broken and they don't answer their phones, I haven't purchased either version from them. Now I'm debating if I will at any point.
Oh I see.
anyway good luck making your decision mate. hopeFully sooner someone post a pictures and review of the statue to help you decided, and hope they dont sold out quick too.

The day this was announced this summer I knew I had to have it. It would go along with my Attakus Ezio and Syco Brotherhood statue.
With what I stated above though, and that the Brotherhood statue is still common today makes me wait. Now if there is a discount or Spawn offers me something off for their incompetence, then I may bite.

Either way skipping this, if the Artist Proof or Exclusive was a Unhooded version or a different outfit version, I would grab it. Unpainted just doesn't interest me.
Wonder if anyone started to receive their statue? did they really start shipping it to US on 13th of Dec??

I bought both the painted and unpainted versions. I'm still on the fence about the unpainted one. Not sure how I feel about it. I didn't want to miss out on it so went ahead and got it anyway. I asked for low and matching numbers, unsure if they'll comply with the request but figured it wouldn't hurt. If I don't get matching numbers and the unpainted doesn't just blow me away I might consider letting it go. Doubtful though as I've never let anything go from my collection that I didn't have at least two of. Will just have to see when it shows up.

That would have been the only way I'd buy it, and I'd probably even still regret it.
It seems like everyone is in agreeance with the unpainted statue. No one likes it and the only reason people want it is because it's "limited".

I like the unpainted statue as I've already stated in this very thread
Are there other possible options that I'd have preferred more? Sure but rarely I have ever received the "perfect" collectable. Everything could be a bit better.
The unpainted ACIV statue is fine
Well, its everyone's choice.
I admit the only reason I buy this was it is Limited. that is all.
who's statue collector will display unpainted (incomplete) statue, right?
well, its just for the sake of collection, and its rarity, that's why I buy it :v: :beer:

It is not 'incomplete' it is an industry standard and well known in art collecting for paintings or sculptures...
The ap is exactly what it says it is... A limited early run for the artist to approve all the qualities - finished design, production, etc and this happens in every area of art collecting and these invariably become the rarer more valuable,e pieces valued by genuine collectors for their uniqueness and scarcity but I also understand those who want one from the final run of articles..

All I can say is this thing is a BEAST. Very big and very heavy. Those who bought it should take special care in opening the two-sided styro packing especially the heavy base is in two parts that come apart easy and cold break if dropped (like the little splashy water outcroppings).
Quality is amazing as expected with one exception of the hand holding the sword looks a little weird in scale and aspect as compared with the statue (my opinion so we'll see what you think). Also be very careful of the sword seems fragile and probably breaks easy if allowed to bend to the side at all.
Anyway, looks like I am 781/950 and here are a few quick pics...

Yes I have Ezio Fury and they are very similar I think at the base, but where Ezio stays mostly contained within the base footprint, Kenway figure stretches out past at the arms/sword. I measured quickly and whereas the base is about 12" diameter, I figure you would need 15" horizontal clearance and 15" vertical for entire Kenway piece. And Kenway is way heavier so will need a stable shelf, etc.
Hope that helps

i saw the box in the background too.

I am so upset now. I fking hate UPS. They always screw up my delivery. Their website says here that the UPS driver left the statue at my front door, and i just came back from work and couldn't locate my package. Asking my neighbor and none of them receive nething.
Contacted McFarlane, hope will get this problem solved.
you should contact ups because that is their screw up. they are so inconsiderate.

Is there so poor rules in USA about delivery?
Here in Denmark they cant just put the stuff at our door unless you have given promise for it in some way..
usa delivery standards are not always the best. this happened to me a few days ago with a dead space ultra limited edition.

So members who ordered day one are getting high numbers? If so that is really messed up.
you mean like the child face from attakus? :rant: how unfortunate that they couldnt make the face perfectly sculted. well its because of that hood, I wish to come to the idea of putting the hood down to make a perfect face of assassin...
Worst is the Ezio brotherhood ubicollectible.

@Pumpkinpirate
What number did you get anyway?
Not at home now but I remember the number was in the 700's around 750 or so i think. I ordered the day of, in the morning. I just imagine with so many huge boxes that they probably just ship them out to retailers and customers in what ever order is easiest to access.
Hard to get face photos with this guy since it's so tucked under the hood! Easiest to separate him from the base then take a photo

** Any member who decides to part with the Unpainted Edward Kenway Statue, please contact me, I will work out a deal with you **
UPDATE:
Thought my xmas would come early, but it came early with a disaster. Been on phone with UPS the whole day, I first spoke to this representative who attempted to dismiss me, asking me to tell the seller to contact them instead (wtf service, NO urgency at all). I told her off saying at least you could get the local representative close to my area to help me out and check with the driver that delivered my package.
After 2 hours, a local center representative contacted me and helped me to track my package and even contacted the driver that sent my package (nice of her).
The driver insisted that he did SEND my package, but whether he sent to the right place, or was stolen, no one can confirm that (and I found out apparently UPS in my area are so short handed, that these drivers basically deliver packages until 11pm at night - yea, as you can imagine, leaving a package overnight outside your house is really a FANTASTIC idea right? Shitty services). And you can imaging how 'fast' these drivers gotta deliver the package.. mistakes always bound to happen.
Bottom line is, I lost a statue that I so look forward to, and now I will get my refund and settle with the painted ones. Painted ones are still awesome, just the unpainted one is really what I want.
And whether UPS or Fedex, it is better to pick up from the local store yourself.
Sorry for my rant..

That's a rough story you got there. Has to be very upsetting. I believe a while back Mortal was having issues with someone stealing boxes off his porch.
There was a story recently where a lady had been saving for most of the year to get her daughter an iPad for Christmas. The weather was really bad the day the iPad was delivered so as it turned out the UPS delivery person put it in her trash can to keep it out of the weather. I think UPS replaced the iPad for her.
My statues are estimated to be delivered on December 23rd. I was hoping to get the same number for my painted and unpainted ones, am I correct in thinking this can't happen due to the way they were numbered?

I chose UPS Ground, since the other options are too expensive (UPS 3 Day Select, and UPS Air). And UPS Ground does NOT need Sig..
What McFarlane could have done better was to add UPS signature option, and I do not mind to pay a bit extra.
I ordered two painted ones for some members here, and theirs arrive a day later. After what happened to mine, I contacted UPS and paid them extra to have the order shipped to the nearest local store, for me to pick up personally.
*annoying that we even have to pay them to send back to the store to pick up.. :pooryou:*
Oh Jonathan
That is awful and I hope you find out where it is quickly as that is so stressful :( :( :hug:
I cannot believe that they can deliver without a signature and leave a great big box sat in front of your house this time of year - that is just crazy!! :nosleep:
Has stuff been left like this before and where do they leave it?? Does any neighbour take care of it for you?

wow jonkhor that really sucks! you would think for such an expensive package they would ship it signature required. Especially considering that its shipped in the original manufacturer's box that states explicitly what is inside. I certainly hope it ends up showing up in the end.

here are the dimensions as stated on the outside of the shipping box:
14.625 x 13.875 x 15.625 inches

Ordered the statue from amazon Thursday, it arrived this morning. All of the excitement I had for it was shot when I opened amazons shipping box, which was not damaged in the slightest, to see the McFarlane box full of gouges and a smashed corner, right where the edition number is written. They're now sending me a replacement arriving next week.
Number received was 319/950.

Received replacement #2 today. Same. Exact. Problem.
So here's how it comes... huge amazon shipping box with padding already around the McFarlane shipping box, with the statue/box inside that. Just like the first time, the McFarlane box and statue box inside were damaged/dropped with a corner caved in like an accordion. The amazon shipping box has no damage.
I contacted Amazon once again to let them know and was offered a $30 credit for the issue the first time. Today they did not offer me any type of credit, though I made them aware the statue has now decreased in price from $276 to $246 so they refunded me the difference.
Number received today was 497/950.
so you now have 2 statue? or you returned the first one?
and only the box was damaged, not the statue itself?

I don't know as I didn't break the seal on either one. It's obvious they were dropped, it isn't just a small dent. I'm not taking the risk. And most importantly, I'm not accepting a damaged box with a hand written serial number for a $300 limited statue.

Some good news today. Received my third statue and thankfully this was not dropped or crushed like the prior two. There are a couple small dings on the box itself but those are acceptable to me.
Question for those who own this though... does Edward have a scar on the bridge of his nose, and does it look like he has a different shade of skin on his cheeks? I cannot tell from the pictures posted as there isn't enough detail.
Number received this time was 328/950.

Same thing on my end, but in the lore he did not have any noticeable scars as did Ezio and Connor.
With my painted version, he seems to have a shade of blush across his face. It's irking me that it may be a defect.

To be honest Lex I don't think there is a lot else anyone can do without going completely insane with packaging. This is just how Ezio's fury is packaged and it sounds like Romeo's were dropped BEFORE they went in the shipping box... maybe in the Amazon warehouse???

That's the issue here.... I don't know who is to blame. McFarlane ships the statue to Amazon in a fitted box. There is no room for error there. Amazon then puts the shipping box from McFarlane, with labels and all, in their own branded box with padding all around inside.
The first two I received had smashed corners on the McFarlane shipping box, right after opening the Amazon shipping box. So either it was damaged from McFarlane to Amazon, or someone in the Amazon warehouse is damaging these.

I followed up with amazon today to let them know the third was in good condition. As of now, because of me receiving two defective/damaged statues, they have pulled it from amazon and is currently under review.
Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Thanks Romeo for bringing up the packaging concerns and for providing pictures.

The packages came directly from MacFarlane and had minor to no dents on the outer packaging.

Wow, what trauma there has been in simply getting an undamaged package. Amazon is cool because of the low price bargains but I have had lots of issues with stuff showing up damaged from them. Anyone here catch the 60 minutes special on Amazon from a month or so back when they were using drones to deliver stuff (er, I mean get massive free publicity the night before Black Friday)? Perhaps they were using Romeo's first two statues as test packages for the drone delivery after using the same to test delivery of industrial Crisco vats to food service consumers. Drones with "butter fingers" are probably responsible for the dropped damaged goods.
Seriously though I was irked by seeing that $248 price tag merely weeks after buying @ $295 from Spawn online first day, but I think avoiding the extra hassle of two Amazon returns and dealing with them on the phone + effort to return ship them was probably worth the extra $50ish bucks as mine arrived quickly w/no damage from McFarlane.
So anyone find a good case to display this behemoth in? Anyone confirm footprint and vertical clearance dimensions? I took quick measurements when I took mine out to inspect but forgot what they were. Curious what minimum size cube this would fit into.
Happy New Year to all here!

I know - I never thought it would be that much either... then I'll get import tax to pay :suicide: Weird thing was that shipping to France was $90... :(
Oh yeah, import tax :suicide:
I'm a bit confused of the shipping rate now. I bought 2 statue (painted and unpainted)
flatout shipped mine for $90 using USPS, he told me that is priority 3-5 days.
ironman shipped the other for the same price, $90 using USPS too, and he told me that's not priority, only around 2 weeks.
now I don't know if it really is priority or what, guess just have to wait until I receive it.
And I remember my Ezio Fury. it only cost me $15 shipping fee.. yes, seriously, I bought it from this website, sycocollectible. it urge me to buy that ezio fury just because of the low shipping rate.

Is there a display case specific for AC??
Don't think so and the Slideshow one is too small. I think you need at least 12" or 13" square for the footprint because the arm w/pistol and tip of sword extend outward too far. I put my statue back in box until I find display so can anyone who has theirs out confirm what is likely smallest cube this will fit in?
Thx

Poor mag.. I was shocked too after I checked the price for you. And sending to France is cheaper lol..
Im not allowed to purchase extra insurance for Normal Priority if i wanna send to UK.. that's what the guy told me, each country is different. So in the end Priority Express is the way to go, if wanna add insurance. I can't imagine the UK tax.. thank God US is not that strict on import duty! What happened to Europe??

this is my first resin figure so I'm not sure if this is normal. I already issued a return on amazon. what is that white stuff on the back collar? can I remove it? the figure is great btw. its just this white glue like thing on the back that destroys it.

$15! damn did it arrive okay? how was the box condition? That's something i look at in great detail too. not just the statue itself.

To be honest Lex I don't think there is a lot else anyone can do without going completely insane with packaging. This is just how Ezio's fury is packaged and it sounds like Romeo's were dropped BEFORE they went in the shipping box... maybe in the Amazon warehouse???
I think a lot of FRAGILE tape is called for....
amazon is never careful with their stuff. i have a friend who worked there and he told me horror stories about how people throw shit around everywhere.

My inner box (the colorful one) had a smashed corner, not as bad as yours but as I got it directly from Mcfarlane I think it's their fault :(
mine too. not that bad though but still enough for me to notice and get annoyed. but overall it was in pretty good condition.

Well guys, my instincts were correct. As soon as I saw the first statue packaging with a smash corner, I insisted on a replacement. I didn't even care to open it to check as there was no doubt in my mind it was dropped. Well tonight I opened the first one I received from last week, and look what I find...

Hello folks. :)
I recently bought McFarlane's Edward Kenway resin statue (coloured one).
I bought it on eBay. The statue was brand new and in it's original (McFarlane's) shipping box/packaging.
Upon assembling of the statue I noticed that Edward is leaning forward (the position of his cape, which is different from the one on the statues I can find on internet, doesn't allow me to slide Edward's legs completely into the holes).
I'm providing the pictures, so you can see it for yourself.
http://i67.tinypic.com/2dhimmx.jpg
http://i68.tinypic.com/11uke8w.jpg
http://i64.tinypic.com/2zz7uw1.jpg
As you can see on the first picture, Edward is leaning forward. The reason for that can be seen on the second and third picture.
Left tail of his brown cape goes under the right tail of his blue coat (second picture) causing the contact between the cape's tail and the water (third picture).
Ultimately, this contact doesn't allow me to slide Edward's legs completely into the base holes.
I contacted McFarlane Store Customer Service asking them whether my statue of Edward is a defective one, but they weren't very cooperative. For some reason they thought that I want a refund or replacement (although I didn't ask for any of that because I have no right to) and told me to work things out with a 3rd party I bought the statue from.
When I told them that a 3rd party was not the one who made the statue and therefore cannot be responsible for any production errors or glitches, they cut off all communication.
Does anyone else have this problem? Did anyone at least hear of it?
ps.
Serial number of the statue is 348.

That's a strange one - I've not personally heard of it before but makes me want to check mine out again as its not assembled at the moment....
Have you checked carefully to make sure the water has never broken and been glued back in place? I know of a couple of these that got broken on original shipping :( If it was it could be just very slightly out of place....
comatose_vigil
02-03-2016, 06:44 PM
Water is fine.
It is the position of cape (which hasn't been broken either) that's causing troubles.

I actally like that "incorrect" pose - seems like there is (very) heavy wind and he standing against it :)

I feel the same way as you when it comes to "defects." I do my very best to justify it, but I always have the thought lingering in the back of my head.

I bought mine direct from McFarlane when it was released and it looks like your cape appears to be totally different on that section. I don't have time to upload picture right now, but on mine the brown cape part is totally outside the blue cape part so it doesn't touch the splash. Must be something with the mold on yours although hard to fathom how that occurs since I assume they are all cast from the same mold.
