i read they were only given out to reviewers and such

Destructoid.com was giving one away (http://www.destructoid.com/contest-win-a-limited-edition-infamous-second-son-statue--271506.phtml)

[flatout]

GameStop had a contest for 10 of them. That is what i was posting but I thought it was fo this month but it was for last month and is already done.

[ingmar1988]

So its the one from the pre order bonus and the one doron is selling but plus a base?

[flatout]

No, this one is 12 inches and resin... not a cheap plastic figure.

[Dan]

No, this one is 12 inches and resin... not a cheap plastic figure.

I really hope you can buy it and not go super rare and expensive like other stupid statues *cough* ass creed *cough*.... :beg:

It was limited to 150 and seems they went to employees and contests.

Yeah same pose it seems. Probably way better detail though.

Yeah I wish I had not missed the 2 contest to get them.

[Dr_Jengo]

Yup only 150 were made but none were for sale. All were given out to Employees and in Contests. I'm hunting hard for these :P

A couple are bound to hit eBay... but will go crazy near launch I am sure of it.

I am in awe they did the contests a month before the launch instead of in the same month as launch... doesn't make sense IMO. You want the most hype weeks before launch.

[flatout]

Another pick of one:

This is obviously what should have been in the Collectors Edition! Probably was something the explored, maybe due to next gen still being in its infancy they decided not enough CEs would sell to make this? So instead we get a crappy hat/jacket/pins.

Can't believe this CE is so bad I need to pass on it.

I'll be watching.. :spiteful:

[flatout]

We all will be i am sure... and that will make the prices even more unbearable. The richest of us will get it so I may bow out now.. lol!

[Fad]

So let me ask you guys....if this statue was available to buy online (not just one in the secondary market like eBay, but a standard exclusive numbered run), what would you think is a fair price? 12" tall, polystone, heavy base, metal chain...

Thanks,

[Dr_Jengo]

US$200-$225 for a 12inch polystone statue should be reasonable.

Do you know something? I am intrigued by your question.

Probably $225, and it depends on how many would be produced.


US$200-$225 for a 12inch polystone statue should be reasonable.

Yeah... it may cost more depending on the limited nature of it. But usually something like that would be in the $250 range.

[Fad]

Lol! Well, I made the statue, but while my question wasn't really about this statue in particular. I was using it to take a poll of the general collectibles market. We make a lot of items for PR purposes or development team gifts, and if we were ever to consider selling some down the line to collectors, how much do you think they should cost and how large do you think the run should be? Since this is the statue I just finished, I thought I'd use it as an example, but please don't read anything into it

Okay good to know Fad and thanks very much for the info.

Well A statue like that and assuming it was a limited run of 250-500 I would say the price I listed it about what I would expect it to sell for.

[golgo13tse]

Just bought one, I will have it in about a week. Looks great can't wait to place it next to my Cole MacGrath Statue.

[Dr_Jengo]

You posted for the very first time, just to taunt us??? :lmao:

Haha kidding, do post pics once you get it! Especially with the Cole statue beside for comparison

[golgo13tse]

Sorry for gloating, but I am never this lucky to be able to get a rare statue like this. And I will take pictures.

Haha yea I was just teasing and a little jealous of course! Congrats on the pickup though, will wait for your pics!

The biggest show exclusive we have to offer comes from recently released inFAMOUS Second Son. Limited to just 77 pieces at PAX East 2014, with only 300 ever made, this will be the first time the inFAMOUS Second Son Collectible Delsin Statue has been available for sale to the public. It’s a work of art and can be yours for $150 dollars. It’ll be out for one day only – Saturday April 12 – so don’t miss out!

Source:http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/04/04/pax-east-2014-playstation-wws-community-exchange/

They gonna have 7 pieces at PAX East! Anyone going?
If anyone is going, will it be possible to get me one! :beg: I will be eternally grateful. I'll even make it worth your trouble ;)

[DoctorX]

Yeah, if anyone is going out to PAX East please help me out to get this :)

[flatout]

I like how the number went from only 150 ever made to 300.

I know someone who may be going to PAX East... but I am not sure he will be willing (or able) to get multiple statues but I will ask.

Allright :) Sounds good, according to the post there is 77-limited edition statues available for sale. If your friend agrees please inform us :) Im so interested to get one. Thank you.

[ingmar1988]

I want one if somebody could help me out.

[flatout]

They made more it seems. Sorry to say this but that is shady IMO. Do not say that "this is how many were ever made"... only to make more in the future.

Again I am not sure he is going but I will ask for sure. He is my sister's other brother.


I want one if somebody could help me out.

I will try, and Ing you are actually first on the list as you PM'ed me about getting one a long time ago.

[DoctorX]

Allright, if that group buy thing happens, add me to list. I dont want to miss this once in a lifetime chance :) Thank you very much.

[Fad]

I can answer that question. Marketing wanted to make 150 for their contests through different retailers, and I thought it would be cool to make some for collectors (also, no factories will make only 150 of something). The deal was that we couldn't announce them until a week before PAX though. The ones given out for PR are called the "SCEA Edition" and are marked as such, and the Collector's version is numbered 1-300. I wanted to do it as a paint variant, but I was under such a tight deadline, there wasn't time. The reason there are only 77 at PAX East is that booth space is really limited and these things take up a lot of room (1 full pallet is like 7 ft tall). Still not sure how we'll be selling the rest.

Hope that answers your questions,

G

Hope you'll make them available for international customers as well. :)

One more question, what about the Last of Us American Dreams graphic novel you'll have available there? What about the rest 800 copies? Will they be sold anywhere?

Thanx in advance for any response!

[Fad]

Hi TonybSG,

I haven't spoken to the UK office about it, but I can look into it. The issue is that we have no ecommerce set up for real (not digital) goods, so the only way we can sell these at the moment is if we are at a convention and we hire a company to run the credit card transactions for us. Because all the studios got together to create this "community" booth at PAX prime, it was easy for me to jump on that train to sell some of the statues. However, I don't know if this is going to happen at every convention (I really hope it does because that would be a great opportunity for collectors to get this really limited edition stuff).

As far as the graphic novel goes, ND is making that themselves, so I have nothing to do with it.

G

[Dr_Jengo]

Thanks for the clear-up Gary! Appreciate that.

Wow a paint variant would have made things very interesting.. Either way, I have to get this one somehow. Things get really tricky when it's not available to the international market but I can see that you are definitely trying to get these out to everyone. One step at a time and keep up the good work!

I see. Still feels deceptive, probably because it was as it seems that was the plan for PAX, but it had good intentions behind it I suppose.

So there are 450 of them officially now (2 separate runs technically). Thanks for telling us, now we know it was not 300 in total but another 300 all together... appreciate that FAD.


FAD, any chance of getting a few detailed pics of one of the production Delsin Statues (not the stock pics)? Just would like to see the detail of the face.

[flatout]

Do you guys still want me to try and get a few from PAX or just wait for FAD's update on how they will sell the rest? Should get a jump on them thanks to FAD.

[ingmar1988]

Flatout, i would be nice if Fad could ship 10 or so to you and you distribute among us. If possible. Dont know if Fad/sony has paypal available.

I just NEED this statue for my infamous collection.

Hi Flatout,

I'm sorry you feel that way. To be honest, when Marketing put out that statement, I believe they meant 150 of their statues to giveaway. They knew I would be selling the 300 so obviously collectors would be aware that there were more than 150. There was no nefarious plan to increase their value by incorrectly stating the number made.

We're not currently in the collectibles business and technically, if it hadn't been for me wanting to make some for collectors, the run would have been a lot smaller. I guess it comes down to this, would you rather pay $600 for a secondary market statue, or have me make a small run of things so they are a little less exclusive, but more collectors get to enjoy them and you don't have to blow half your rent check to afford them? Now, it is unfortunate that a few people did spend a lot to buy their SCEA statue off eBay, but I couldn't talk about my version until the Pax Community folks made their announcement. Anyone who did pay a substantial amount for their statue can email me and I'll see if I can work out something with them.

For the record, of the SCEA edition, I made 150 for marketing (the contest ones to be given away), 150 for the SuckerPunch game team, and 100 for internal staff at SCEA. For the Collectibles version, I made 300 and they are numbered.

Hope this clears things up,

Gary

[ingmar1988]

Please Fad, let us know if a groupbuy or anything like that is possible.

Really want this to add to my infamous/sony collection.

Thanks for the info.

I did pay around $500 on eBay and haven't received it yet. So the one I'm getting is not numbered?

I saw you mentioned something about the paint in your earlier post, will the one I got and the one you are about to sell look different?

Thanks,

No need for the explanation... I was not upset about it. I was just stating the obvious (or so how I feel). I know there was nothing nefarious about it, but a deception all the same... they just do not think of production numbers like collectors do (that is why). This happens very often in the gaming industry... a good example was David Jaffe promising people he was not working on Twisted Metal and then announced a month later at E3 he was making Twisted Metal.

It is just part of the industry... but production numbers are different and something collectors take very seriously. Again not upset so please do not take it that way... I just call things how I see them. Plus I had not fallen prey to paying a big amount for something that was thought to be limited to only 150.


So there is 700 in total? Is that correct?


I do have to say I disagree with this: "so obviously collectors would be aware that there were more than 150". It is quite obvious that none of us came to that conclusion, or did you mean only SCEA? Or maybe you meant they said it that way internally but that was not put out that way to the public?





I saw you mentioned something about the paint in your earlier post, will the one I got and the one you are about to sell look different?

Ken

No, he said he wanted to do something like that but did not have time.

Here's the only pic I have on my phone. I can get a better one when I get to work tomorrow.

Ingmar, the problem with that is that these are the company's statues, not mine. I have no way to sell anything directly, nor would the company want me doing that. That is why the community booth at PAX is perfect. Another company will be handling the transactions. The issue is that we are not set up to do fulfillment. The idea is that you buy it and take it, right then and there.

Gary

[Fad]

Hey Flatout,

Understood. Marketing departments aren't as clued into collector culture as I am. What I meant was, they didn't say there were only 150 to trick anyone as they knew I made the additional 300 units for collectors and would be selling them at some point (at the time, I didn't know about the the PAX opportunity, so I still wasn't sure how I was going to sell them). Once they were released, they knew collectors would know there were at least 450 made. So, I think when they said the statue was limited to 150, they meant the SCEA edition that was meant for contests. They just wanted to announce a cool statue, not raise the ire of the hardcore collector. ;-)

Thanks you for giving us all this information!

Now I understand why you/Sony cannot sell the statues directly, but is there any way you could purchase these statues for us if we send you the $$?

I wanted to make it to PAX this year but tickets sold out way too fast.

Thanks and I appreciate all the information you are giving us!

[flatout]

Thanks for the info and the pic FAD!


So to irradiate, from this statement there is 700 of them: "For the record, of the SCEA edition, I made 150 for marketing (the contest ones to be given away), 150 for the SuckerPunch game team, and 100 for internal staff at SCEA. For the Collectibles version, I made 300 and they are numbered."

That's correct...700....except for the super special ultra exclusive platinum edition of 6000 I made.

I keed, I keed!! ;-)

No, 700 is all there is.

[Dr_Jengo]

So if 77/300 is going to be at PAX? Where's the rest? :think:

Anyway, thanks a lot Gary for all the info that you are providing. It's really great for collectors to know what's happening behind the scenes. Of course, sometimes it can be a bad thing with collectors demanding too much and also harass them for unpopular decisions but I think most of the crowd here are a very friendly bunch.

Well as he said they could only take that many to PAX due to size constraints. He is not sure how the others will be sold off yet.

And I am not friendly... I am a jerk, maybe a friendly jerk :D

Okay so I finally got to talk with him after a little phone tag and he is going to try and grab a few.

What is good is he works for a company that has a booth a PAX so he gets in early and will/should have first dibs as long as the people at the inFAMOUS/Sony booth let him grab a few.

I do not know if this will work out but if it does the extras I get will go in the order of people who asked (only fair way really). Also I did tell him I would get him a little bit for his trouble.

I'm not active member here, i know, my bad, i can't wait to show my collection but waiting for the good moment.
I contacted with my friend but he cant go on PAX this year, i almost give up on buying the statue, but if you will have a chance to get some statues... I will be super grateful if you let me buy one.
Really thank you for doing this!

[flatout]

Guys please do not get too excited about this... it is a long shot at best.

Even in the best case scenario I could get a few, worst case I can only get one for myself at none at all.


If I feel I can get a few I will contact the first couple people as I will need funds to send to my sister's other brother. I will contact you and send you to my sale thread as to not break forum rules.

[Fad]

Flatout, come see me at the show. I think I can work out a deal that will make some folks happy. Ask for Gary Barth at the booth. If I'm not there, leave your cell number.

Check your PMs ;)

[Leonsamus]

Gary these are over at booth 608 Saturday right? I plan on stopping by and will def give you a hello if you're available :)

[Crimson_Dragon92]

Flatout, come see me at the show. I think I can work out a deal that will make some folks happy. Ask for Gary Barth at the booth. If I'm not there, leave your cell number.

That was just him saying to see him to maybe work something out to possibly get a few for people here. Although there may be a money issue unless I can use my card over the phone but that is up to FAD. No way to get the cash to my sister's other brother in time.

"It’ll be out for one day only – Saturday April 12 – so don’t miss out!"

That is what the PSBlog said about PAX East and the statue. I will know in the morning sometime whether things work out.


It has been and still really is a long shot... so please DO NOT get your hopes up. Please assume it ill not work out, that way no one is let down. I am going to try my best though. :wave:

[Fad]

Hi gang,

Still working this out. I will say this..if you have friends going to the show that can pick you up a statue, go that route. I was going to limit the number of these statues that people can purchase to two though, to give folks a chance to buy them before the resellers gouge collectors on ebay.

However, I have the rest of the 300 in my possession, and the company that we hired to do the transactions are williing to help me after the show. But as we don't have this set up on a website anywhere, I need to work through the logistics on how to move forward. It probably won't happen until after PAX though. So, what I'm saying is, if your friends or family don't come through and buy you one, there will be another chance.

Thanks for your patience,
Gary

Awesome man. Thanks! Any chance is better than no chance. Thank you for going the extra mile for all of us. :3

I hope things work out smoothly.

[flatout]

Sounds good FAD... I will just try and get one for myself then if there is going to be a limit of 2 and you may be able to offer the rest to the public.

Sorry guys.

Wow, that is great news. Like most said, A slim chance is better than no chance!

Thank you very much for going the extra mile for the collector's who will absolutely appreciate all the effort you are putting into helping us regardless of the outcome.

I would of loved to have been able to stop by and thank you personally. If I can make it to PAX EAST next year and you are going to be there, I'll definitely stop by and say hello :wave:

Sony Studios should really consider having its own official online store dedicated to exclusive merchandise and limited, one-off collectibles. Capcom, Bioware, Bethesda, etc. all seem to have found success with this, and Sony has enough beloved franchises under its roof to create some great item diversity. Hopefully, you can point to the popularity and hype surrounding this statue as evidence that the demand is out there.

[DoctorX]

Thanks FAD. You really listen to the community and fans. I apreciate that a lot.

Perhaps since there is no website set up, we could pay via Paypal? Instant, secure payment and it would have our addresses visible after payment.

And I agree that sony needs an online store. Bethesda, EA, Bungie, Square Enix, Valve and Bioware all have stores with really cool merch. I would absolutely love the chance to buy some last of us, infamous, gow, sly cooper, etc goodies!


Once again thanks for everything!

[flatout]

I can confirm that Treehouse is doing the sales for the inFAMOUS Statues... so hopefully Sony will make a store with them.

Or at least have them list the rest of the statues somehow. I know FAD will keep us updated.

Thanks again Gary and Treehouse for your help!

[lhurgoyf]

I went by today to grab my statue and was told they only had 18 or so on hand. One of the other sales guys said it wasn't going to be sold online though, so not sure where the other 100+ are going. Ryan hooked me up with 5/300 so I'm happy :)

Awesome :D

[Fad]

It was good to meet those of you who stopped by the booth today. One thing I should mention about the statue...be very careful when handling the light bar. I wasn't a fan of this design because the can lights are really heavy and the bracket that holds them is very thin. I wanted to make these out of cast metal but our Compliance group wouldn't let me because it wouldn't pass the heavy metals CPSIA testing. However, our factory did an amazing job with the EPS foam insert. All the parts are individually wrapped and placed in their little cavity, so nothing will be broken when you open it. Just handle with care when unwrapping and putting that light bar in place.

Just a heads up,

G

[T7gga]

awesome statue and i'm so pleased to have found this topic. i have been looking all over for an alternative to the painful ebay prices and subsequent painful import charges to the uk.

really hope that some way can be found for those of us outside the usa to have a chance to purchase.

thanks in advance Gary for trying to help out the collectors.

[Dan]

i want ittttttttt!!!!!!! D:

[CheapAssassin]

Noooooo I don't want it!!!!


Jk.. I so want it..

[Folkeye]

Okay, sadly I did gouge myself on Ebay before just now finding this site with all this nice info. It's the SCEA edition I have, just got it yesterday.

Yeah, I spent too much money on it. Guess there's nothing that can be done there.

Second, on the off chance a piece is missing (that tiny pipe) what can I do about it? I unboxed and set him up last night but didn't know it had that piece. The SCEA edition has no card, no image, no instructions so I had no idea to look for it. If it's wrapped in there, yay, if not.... uh, is there help in getting one? Or sadly a replacement?

Delsin is really an awesome figure, the details are gorgeous. Would be sad if he wasn't complete! I'll post again if it's not found.

[Dr_Jengo]

That's a pity Folkeye, but everyone's been there I guess.

About the missing piece, I hope you are able to find it. Maybe try asking the seller. I have had experiences where the seller swears he sent the whole item but I get missing pieces. No sign of the box being opened by customs as well. Just one of those weird things that happen.

Maybe Fad/Gary has an extra piece to help you with?

[Folkeye]

Okay, I can un-bunch my panties now. I looked when I got home last night and it had moved itself from it's spot to living under the lose wrapping paper so I didn't even notice it. I can breath easier at least. Just need to rob a bank now for the second half. LOL :)

Either way, happy to find this site. Still have some collector in me.

New guy here (can't believe I'm just now finding this website, been a game and gamingmmemorabilia collector for over 25 years)...So I got #054 of 300; Delsin looks amazing but as mentioned by other members, my lamp was completely busted up. I sent a PM to Fab so hopefully I can get the lamp replaced; fingers crossed.

Hi Guys,

Sorry, I had to catch up on other projects when I got back from PAX.

Okay, here's the deal...I am going to honor the PAX price of $150 (this will go up a little in the future if and when we decide to sell the rest of the 300 units). I am limiting the number of units you can buy to two.

The guys at Treehouse have generously offered to run the transactions for me. If you are interested in this deal, you have one week to email me at gary_barth@playstation.sony.com with the following info:

Name
address
email address
phone number
number of units

I'll pull together a list and Treehouse will contact you about emailing the funds to their PayPal account.

Thanks for your patience,

Gary

Hi Gang,

The Infamous Second Son statue list is officially closed! Sorry, but I can't take anymore orders as I need to get back to my regular job of making e3 stuff for The Order:1886.

I will be working with Ryan to obtain the shipping costs and he will be contacting you to give you the payment information. Once I have confirmation that you have paid, we'll start shipping the statues out.

Thanks for your patience,

Gary

[Dan]

The Order stuff sounds interesting... as soon as you can give info or pics on that let us know :D

I assume there is a NDA until after/during E3 though :(

I asked Gary about time frame a couple of days ago and he messaged me back saying he would need some time to make the list of people who are going to purchase the statue, and send that list over to treehouse who will then contact everyone individually.

So we just need to be patient, overall Gary is a busy man. :notworthy:

[Treehouse_Ryan]

Okay, everyone should have gotten a request for payment to the email you gave Gary as of a couple minutes ago....

Give it a bit to filter through all the systems, but let me know if there's any issue.

Maybe its already been stated somewhere and I overlooked it but any idea as to when these will be shipping out to us?

[Treehouse_Ryan]

The two people left off the first list should be sorted now.

Gary's slammed with pre-E3 work, so he told me he probably wouldn't be able to ship these to you until the show closes. I'll let you guys know whatever else I hear....

Yeah as I said I am sure people are just grateful... I just feel bad for you guys having to wait a month or more after paying just to get it.

But as you kind of pointed out it was nice of them to offer them to the forum members who could not get one at PAX (they were not a PAX exclusive i do not think... or were the labeled as such even though only 77 of them could be there? Would not make sense... so I am not sure this is entirely accurate: "wasn't even suppose to be for sale outside of Cons").

Think of it as a pre order.

And so far it was only sold at pax and given as a promo/prize. So as of now, it technically was only for sale at a con (and here as a special opportunity)

Man, I can't help myself... I am sure as i continue my compulsive need to do (what believe is "correcting"), I just cement myself further as a jerk :D . Oh well, cannot help who I am.


That is great you see it that way, and I could be wrong but it seems to me that the "after E3" message came long after people had already payed and were waiting for shipment. This is simply and observation, not an accusation.

There were not promo's or prizes of any kind. These are the collectors editions ones that are number out of 300. FAD wanted to create more for the fans and collectors like us, that was awesome of him to do so because a lot of us wanted one The ones you are thinking of are the Sony (I forget the actual name of them) employee/promotion ones that have 400 or so but are not numbered (and 150 were given as prizes rest were given to Sony and Sucker Punch employees).


But yes so far it was only available at PAX East and the awesome opportunity through the forum thanks to FAD and TreeHouse. The rest were going to be sold, FAD just did not know how they would sell them (they did not make 300 number statues only to have 233 of them sit somewhere forever).'


Again I was just saying I felt bad for the wait is all, nothing against anyone... just expressing my feelings for those who are waiting. But I am glad you did not want yours for a awhile, that way it does not bother you in the least. :taunt:

[imironmann]

The opportunity is definitely worth the wait. Have had to wait years just for the opportunity for some stuff. If you can't be a patient collector you're probably going to be a unhappy collector.

Now hurry up and ship our statues! Lol

Very true. Although most collectors are patient only because they are forced to be...

I have no dog in the fight so to speak... was just putting my love out there for those waiting is all (of coarse my need for absolute truth lead it to new directions).

Haha no problem at all, you don't sound like a jerk, but are assuming a lot (or so it seems) or events that yet to happen.

I personally am not OCD like some people to see the different "editions" as different versions. In the end they all looks alike [to me] basically.

And yes, he did mention they were going to sell off the rest, not knowing where. For all we know, everyone will have a fair shot at owning soon. Or it could end up being sold at conventions/events only therefore making FAD's sale here even more special.

Once again, I know they are (not/)numbered differently, but in the end it is the same statue. If there were differences (in the construction/detail of the statue itself rather than the numbering on the bottom) I missed, then I would probably consider them 2 different items.

Once again, not taking any offense or anything in your responses bud.
Just seemed kind of weird that the first person to say something about the wait was someone who did not order one :lmao:

If I didn't know any better, I would say you were trying to start something ;)
I kid, I do not mean the last line in any rude way. I believe I know what you originally meant, just seemed a bit off. Sorry if it comes off aggressive/wrong.

I see them as different editions from how FAD described them. Again, it is awesome that he let forum members get fist dibs on the ones that did not go to PAX.

Not weird at all... I think it makes perfect sense. Really because first of all I was only speaking to those waiting and not those who helped the forum members get them.

If I wanted to start something I would have, and it would not be subtle. When I make observations i tend to add facts and I am not polite about them (I do not sugar coat them... but no the other hand I do not try to make the facts sound worse either). I think people tend to want to see confrontation or bad things in peoples comments, I believe confrontation online is something people try to start without even knowing they are doing it (just watch a comment section on IGN, or YouTube... if there are 100 ways a comment could be taken as good and only one way it could be seen as bad they will almost always take it the bad way just to feel offended... people unconsciously love to get offended, they love confrontation). Actually the only reason it got any further then my first reply is the replies made me feel like I had to defend my observation and fix things I thought were incorrect in responses. Just a HUGE flaw I have now-a-days, well I am not sure it is a flaw but to others it certainly must seem like one as people do not like facts when they are facts that can upset them or others.

But I say it again, I feel for you guys who are waiting and were not aware they would be waiting that long until their transaction was already placed (that is not be calling anyone out or show a mistake... it is just an observational fact). If that makes me an ass or makes it seem I am trying to start something then so be it. I will not change my nature to suit others ;) I know that is not what you are saying, I just want to put that out there. Political correctness has its place for things that are hate related (like gender and race type things) but not for truth.


See, I probably have replied all this time because I feed off of discussions (you could say confrontation)... I love back and forths for the most part. Love articulating my ideas. I probably shouldn't though as a lot of the time I am misunderstood.

Hey Gang, I'm back!!

Sorry to go so long without responding but E3 was crazy! Not only did I have to make the Galahad and weapons displays for us, but i made them for Europe and Japan too, so I was working on those in the evenings during E3. When I got back, I had been gone for 9 days (and 5 days before that for Wonderfest), so it took me the week to get a handle on things.

So, where are your statues? First off, I appreciate your patience. As a collector, I know how hard it is to wait for your purchases (I just got my Hot Toys "The Crow" which showed up long after all my friends got theirs...so I "get it"). What you have to realize is that I am a one man department and my part time admin assistant and I are deali g with this personally. Ryan and Treehouse were nice enough to run your credit cards, but in order to keep the shipping costs low, I am shipping your statues straight from our offices in San Mateo using our Sony FedEx account...and the shipping price can't be beat.

We had to order special boxes (our mail room couldn't understand why they couldn't slap a label on the factory shipping carton. I had to explain to them that that some collectors value ALL the packaging) which came in on Friday. On Monday morning, my assistant and I will be packing these up ourselves and sending them off.

I hope you enjoy them!
Gary

[r3galbum]

Woot awesome! Getting these statues will be an awesome surprise. Thanks for all the hard work!

[Dr_Jengo]

Awesome Gary, thanks. It's great to know that being a collector, you also understand how we think! No doubt this will reach us in a perfect condition.

[Fad]

Lol! I'll do my best.

off topic. did you work on the Sony Exclusive Disney Infinity Marvel Collector's Edition that was announced at E3?

[imironmann]

Good stuff! You just get more impressive with every post!

Off topic but what do you think about the crow figure? Was actually contemplating that one. I'm just having a hard time not getting a pile of premium format statues. Especially the Court of the dead. Really excited about this line. My Jack the ripper recently showed up and the wait for the Queen is killing me. So many of the hot toys are so tempting though. Too many..

[Fad]

I'll have to answer that question tomorrow unfortunately. I had a couple pretty big "fires to put out" on Friday, and by the time I go home, I realized I'd left the damn thing at work! ;-)

Overall, I love Hot Toys. I only have 5 of them though. Most of them are awesome (i wish they would re-issue the Aliens line with better sculpts) but I went a little crazy with the McFarland "Movie Maniac" series a decade ago, and it got to the point that my office wall at Sony was covered with them, top to bottom, side to side. I decided to stop trying to be a completist and really collect the stuff that "spoke to me". ;-)

:notworthy: hi gary, it is me who e-mailed you almost a month ago if you have any plans on selling again those statues, and you told me that chances are you might sell again your remaining inventory here on collectorsedition.org after the pax prime event. never mind. i thought that you guys produce/distribute on a bigger scale. don't want to put you and your staff on hard work again. :) it's time to move on with this beautiful statue.

[Mike1888]

Well that was fast. Got mine this morning.

Looks great, perfect condition as expected. Huge thanks to Gary and Treehouse Ryan.

[Lemur]

Wow what? Did you get any tracking number?

[Mike1888]

Nah don't think so. FedEx never takes more than a couple days for me (usually within 24 hours), even when the site gives a 5-7 day estimate. They're beasts.

Cool, I'm glad you like it. Ran into one small snag...I wanted pull the statues in the number sequence where we left off (#78), but the warehouse guys pulled from the end of the run. By the time I got in the office, everything was packed up and on its way to FedEx. I want to apologize for that oversight. I'll try and figure some way to make it up to you guys. Maybe I'll make a small run of some custom little statue exclusively for CE.org or something. ;-)

An exclusive CE.org statue.

I also received my Delsin Rowe statue yesterday (number 261). Could be packed in a better way and no customs tax so could be more happy :) Placed the statue next to the TLOU statue and it looks great together. Thanks Ryan and Gary for doing this.

[Fad]

Wait, so you think it should have been packed better and you're unhappy about not paying tax? ;-)

Patiently waiting on mine.

In the meantime what scale are they? Not that it makes a difference. Curious is all.

It was a statue in styrofoam, in a box, wrapped in plastic, in a box in a box with more styrofoam. Think we needed a extra box just to be sure :P And more styrofoam, don't forget the styrofoam.

Hey Gary!

Just wondering if the fedex package requires signature upon delivery?

I'm actually leaving for NY for the weekend and I'm afraid I might miss the delivery of this beautiful statue.

Hopefully they re-deliver next week if that's the case lol

[Fad]

Unfortunately, all domestic shipments were sent ground so they can take 4-5 days. Tell me your name and I can track the package for you.

huge thank you to Gary and everyone else involved in arranging this. the statue arrived safely and as a result i was able to provide a physical lasting memory for my eldest son.

completed in only 1 week and 1 day, at only 7 years old my son's first platinum trophy on his PS4 was infamous second son.

I'm super pumped for the order and would love to see a pic of the Galahad that you crafted. :3

'Fraid not. I bid on it but Marketing went with someone else (not sure who). Can't wait to see them up close.

As for Galahad, mine's bigger than their's is! ;-)

I just died!! THAT IS INCREDIBLE!! I want :D

The Order is my most anticipated FP game right now by far, has been since i heard about it a very long time ago. Can't wait for that and i hope they (well you and Sony) do a cool smaller statue for it.

Thanks for the offer but I ended up not being to post back while I was gone.
They actually dropped it off thankfully so I just got it when I got back.

As many have mentioned, packaging was beyond perfect! The double layer really did it for me.
Thank you so much again and I'll keep my eyes open for that limited run statue you talked about :P

You're too kind sir!

That's gorgeous! You're truly an amazing artist!

Thanks for sharing!

[Fad]

Thanks, but I consider myself more of a project manager and fabricator than an artist. There were six other vendors that brought Galahad to life. I oversaw the project, hired the right folks for the various parts and stepped in and made some of the parts that we didn't have budget for, like the custom buttons, and the communicators. That's all I'll take credit for. ;-)

Here's a pic of the communicators though. Waterjet cut steel, and other custom 3D printed and lasercut parts. I made the vacuum tubes out of plastic test tubes.

Email me at gary_barth@playstation.sony.com and I'll see what we can do. I don't have any way to take credit cards for Sony, but our friends t Thinkgeek Solutions (formerly Treehouse) might be able to help. They handled the sale at PAX East last year.

[delsinrowe]

thanks gary! thanks flatout! finally after a year of waiting. :)

[garybarth]

You're most welcome. Get 'em quick though. We only made 300, and we sold a bunch at PAX and PSX. The cool thing (or messed up thing depending on how you look at it) is that the original warehouse messed up the sequential order of the master cartons while they had them, so random numbers were sent to the shows. That means there's probably some lower numbers still to be had. Just sayin'...

[Dr_Jengo]

Any chance of international buyers getting this, apart from getting someone to forward this? Have a friend here who wants it but missed the chance the last time round.

[garybarth]

Sorry, I really wish I could, but the statues are now an official par of the Gear store. Now that Treehouse is owned by Thinkgeek, they can no longer run the credit cards for me. my hands are tied.
