Hi from Sony WWS Fabrication Arts & Design group

[Fad]

Hi there,

I just found your website and forums and thought I'd introduce myself. I am the Sr. Manager of Sony Worldwide Studios Fabrication Arts & Design group. We get to make a lot of cool stuff, including some live action and tradeshow costumes, contest prizes, promotional items, collectibles and whatnot. Here's a few items from my collection, including some unreleased stuff...

Enjoy,
Gary

[Fad]

Lol! Glad you like them. Here's a few more....

[SwiftDeath]

Oh wow you guys are even responsible for the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition? That dagger looks mighty nice :)

So Fad what is your favorite piece that you guys made or that you have in your collection?

[MortalMonday]

This is an unreal collection. Welcome!

[MortalMonday]

Especially love the Clicker bust.

The Kratos is another exceptional piece.

[Lemur]

That helghast helmet looks way better than the normal one. Lots of amazing stuff. :notworthy:

So with all these nice items at work, how do you guys decide who gets to take what home? I'm guessing as snr manager you get 1st dibs on everything :beach:

[Fad]

Hi Swift Death,

Glad you like it. The dagger was one of my favorite projects. I'm still amazed how popular it is.

I have a couple of other favorite projects that are work related (I also make stuff based on movies that like):

Our 9' Kratos
http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/477E836F-CA2A-491E-B024-F4DD2CE73A18-4752-000002CDA16CD27A_zpsbac0766e.jpg

And our Journey Statue
http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/791B72BD-A8CE-42A8-9B30-8D5182990D07-4752-000002CDE95171B5_zpsdf84b52f.jpg

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I really love project managing all this stuff. I wish I could keep everything my group makes but sometimes, we only make one...like the clicker bust which is now on display at Naughty Dog. I do try to keep one of everything, though.

Gary

[MortalMonday]

Oh sweet Jesus, I've never even seen that Journey statue before.

[Deathhound]

So beautiful! Damn, wish I had at least one of them! Great, great pieces

[GameTrigger]

Welcome - nice items and good work :)

[toxicatom5]

Welcome! I love that we're starting to see people like you on the forum who are directly involved in the creation of, what is for us, our favorite form of entertainment and greatest passion. Thanks so much for sharing your collection with us!

Just like everyone else, I am in awe of your collection. To echo Mortal, that Journey statue is beyond words.

Also, not sure that I would have a place to put a 9' Kratos but I'd sure as heck try :). Might be a good anti-theft device in my house--could look pretty intimidating in the dark!

[Gazereths]

Some extremely cool stuff there, I think that Clicker bust will give me nightmares lol.

[Ayiu]

stunning :nosleep: especially that Journey statue, love at first sight

[r3galbum]

Welcome! I'm drooling over Sly Cooper! Wish I could be as talented as that.

[Mike1888]

Oh my god. :drool:

This is my new favourite thread. I think my favourite is the sly cane and the Resistance carbine. But as a PS collector, I want all of that badly.

[Fad]

Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Like you guys, I love collecting this stuff. My office at work and at home is jammed with statues, prop replicas, even full sized statues. A few years back, I made a Blade statue because I liked the movie and I wanted to make something different than a lot of collectors have. It was a fun project. Here's a couple pics.

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/488DF7A0-A41E-4C65-9A28-047B7634A4EE-5139-000002FD606D3D1D_zpsf58c7808.jpg

I get to work with an extremely talented bunch of vendors, many i've been friends with for more than a decade and we all hit conventions like Comic-con and Monsterpalooza together. Some of them work in the collectibles industry, others are in special effects. To give you some background on the Journey statue, that was sculpted by Tim Miller who has done work for Sideshow and DC Direct. You might remember the two Lara Croft Premium Format figures he made.

Gary

[MortalMonday]

You sculpted Blade? You sculpted most of the other stuff too?

[LyricalOne]

:welcome:

Welcome to the forums Gary!

Thank you for sharing your amazing collection! I am in awe after seeing so many beautiful pieces of memorabilia!

My favorite piece has got to be the Journey statue! (although that Phurba dagger is my personal moby dick) It looks incredible.

I hope you like it here and keep us updated with your collection!

[imironmann]

Just wow! :notworthy:

Thanks so much for coming and sharing with us!

With just a handful of pictures you've put so many of our collections to shame!

[Fad]

Lol! I wish I had sculpting skills. No, I step in when needed to build last minute costume pieces or mockups of Collectibles. I leave all the heavy lifting to my various vendors. It's my job to assess who's skillset best works for the project and hire them, and then oversee the project. Sometimes I'm just providing reference pics from the game team and making sure vendors are getting paid. Other times I'm sourcing the right type of material for a project, trying to figure out how to add functionality to a prop, coming up with ideas for a base, or even building a Killzone Sniper costume in my kitchen for a live action trailer.

I can do a lot of things, but my sculpting skills are sorely lacking, I'm afraid. And even the stuff I can do, I leave it to the professionals. I'm okay with an airbrush, but I'm not nearly as good as a guy that does it 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. So when it comes to painting masters, I go with a vendor.

[sneaksgalore]

Wow some really nice stuff here love that clicker bust many wouldn't agree lol just waiting for my phurba dagger to come I can't wait

[MortalMonday]

Well guys, at least now we know that there is only one amazing Clicker busts in existence. They did not make more than one of those. The only other authorized Clicker bust that exists is the little one that had the game logo on it.

[Fad]

Ummmm....yeah...I made that too. ;-)

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/F73F1272-988A-49FA-A126-DEF31092DC6F-5856-00000370E9878D06_zpsdf5d9497.jpg

[MortalMonday]

Outstanding! I hope to add one of those to my collection at some point. :)

[Sand4fish]

Man... Thanks for sharing your work with us. I wouldn't mind having a few of those pieces in my collection lol. Well but realistically, it doesn't hurt to look and dream about them. A nice warm welcome btw!

[CheapAssassin]

Omg Fad! Now I see why you are asking for the price for Delsin Statue!

I love the Journey statue... will it ever be commercialized?? Since you're the Sr Manager, is Sony WWS FA & DS going to release these statues to the public?

[MortalMonday]

I've been PM'ing Fad about the Journey statue myself. I think we all need to make some noise to let him know that we all really want that Journey statue to be produced in a limited run. You can for sure sign me up for one!

[CheapAssassin]

Agree with Mortal. More awesome statues please :D

[imironmann]

Collectors unite to demand...errr ask nicely for more great and limited statues!

[underfox]

Oh god how did I miss this thread?

Fantastic work. Do us a favour and throw more stuff in here from time to time please ( this is like food to me), I'm really a huge fan of sculpting.

I Always wanted to sculpt a journey statue for my self but never really started working on it, but after taking a look at yours It really pumped me up. :notworthy:

[Sorvar]

I'm in love with the Bullseye ^^ I'd give my left nut for that gun!

[DoctorX]

Welcome to forums. You got seriously a dream job. You are also very talented! Thank you so much for sharing these with us. That clicker bust is my favourite :) hopefully fans of tlou have a chance to buy somekind of replica of clicker bust in future. I heard there is some miniature clicker busts going around.

[Fad]

Thanks everyone! Glad you like all the stuff!

G

[Fad]

Hi DoctorX,

Yes, my team made that too... :-)

G

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/F73F1272-988A-49FA-A126-DEF31092DC6F-5856-00000370E9878D06_zpsdf5d9497.jpg

[Fad]

Hi Sorvar,

The bullseye was the first gun that we built. It's made mostly of milled aluminum and weighs almost 30 lbs, which is great for display item, but not so much for carrying around a tradeshow. ;-) it also has pulsing lights and makes the startup sound when you slap the magazine in. I'm very proud of it. So much so, I bought one for my personal collection of sci fi weapons.

G

[Fad]

Omg Fad! Now I see why you are asking for the price for Delsin Statue!

Jonkhor,

Lol! I appreciate the enthusiasm, but that kind of a decision is made by someone higher on the food chain than me. However, it is an thought, which is why I was polling people to see what your interest level is and what you thought a fair and realistic price might be.

G

[Doomsayer]

Amazing work. Keep doing it! And keep us posted! Welcome to forums.

[Doomsayer]

Ummmm....yeah...I made that too. ;-)

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/F73F1272-988A-49FA-A126-DEF31092DC6F-5856-00000370E9878D06_zpsdf5d9497.jpg

I would buy this in a second.

[imironmann]

I would buy this in a second.

In a second? What took so long to make your decision lol.

[Merch]

wow great stuff! i wanna buy this :)

[Doomsayer]

In a second? What took so long to make your decision lol.

Slow brains.

[Boumans]

This a realy nice topic..
please keep us updated with the cool and new stuff :D

[Dr_Jengo]

Wow! Hi Gary! Nice to see someone on the other end of the collecting highway come on here to show their work. A couple of those items are high up my wishlist. Can't say I have seen the God of War statue before, so I will start looking for it from now. :lmao:

Very impressive work by the way.

If you are considering releasing some pieces to the public in terms of limited runs, CE.org right here, is probably the best place to come to. A large number of hardcore collectors are here day in, day out and there are surely a lot more lurkers.

As mentioned by me and flatout in the Infamous SS statue thread, I believe US$200-250 is a good range for the Delsin Rowe statue of that size and I think under US$250 is a good price to look at for Gaming-related collectibles and Memorabilia similar to the ones you posted. Higher than that, it might turn off a lot of collectors.

There is no doubt that there's quality in the products from this company. The challenge would be to keep it affordable :)
Would love to see more stuff from your company and hopefully you can share some behind-the-scenes pics, more pics of your collection and maybe even share news with us first before anyone else! :2cool:

[Dan]

i think i died a little :(

[CheapAssassin]

Only a lil? I know big part of me withered away..

[Barran]

Welcome Gary!

WoW, man you have a dream job, im really jealous ^^

you have some really really rare stuff, some items i never saw till now! my fav. is the Journey statue, never saw that one before and im a big video game statue collectors... i would say this is a holy grail! from what material is that Journey made of, resin or pvc?
oh and that kratos statue (the smaller one) is also bad ass, same question here,made of resin or pvc?

i really would love to see some more stuff! 0=)

[Barran]

oh and is this Mech Sweeth Tooth figure a prototyp?

[Fad]

Lol! Glad you're enjoying the stuff, as I love sharing it. Both the Journey and Kratos are resin and very heavy.

The "Sweetbot" was something in the last Twisted Metal game. I made it while we were working on the costumes for the live action sequences in the game. I wanted to make it as a contest prize, but the way it was designed in the game, it was just too flimsy and would break too easily as a collectible. Because of this, I decided to do a run of mini Sweet Tooth masks instead. I scanned the mask we had sculpted for the game and reduced the size to about half scale. Here's a pic:

This was given away as a promo for the last Twisted Metal?
HOW DID I NOT HEAR/KNOW ABOUT THIS :pooryou:

I love TM very much. One of my first PS games that turned me over to the PS Side.
I actually won a Sweet Tooth figure given away by Jeff at the time signed by the dev. team.

I would love to include the Mask and even that Sweetbot to my collection!

Your stuff never ceases to amaze me :thumb:

[KnightOfTruth]

Hi and welcome to the forum Gary! Like everyone has said, we're glad to have you here! I'm not a huge PS fan (more of a Nintendo/360 guy myself) but the quality of your collection (that you've shown) is amazing and great by any collector's standards! Out of all the pieces I must say I really like the Journey statue!

Thanks for sharing and if you ever are looking for a market for any of those items, you won't find a better place than right here! Thanks again for sharing!

[Barran]

Wow,both statues are made of resin, so both are holy grails for sure, very nice!
do you know how much of this both statues where made or a both statues unique?

yeah the Sweetbot looks indeed really breakable, but the sweeth tooth mask is a great alternative, looks really funny, it reminds me somehow of the Death Mask from Darksiders 2! ^^

[Fad]

Hey Guys,

Thanks again for all the kind words...and Knight, I forgive you you that you're more of an Nintendo/Xbox guy. Just kidding! ;-) Competition is all good...it makes us work harder.

I am getting a lot of questions regarding whether or not I'd sell stuff. Unfortunately, right now, the answer is "no". Even if SCEA wouldn't mind, I really like all my stuff and plan on holding onto it for awhile. It makes great decor for my office. You never know though...there may come a time when some of these collectible products are offered to the public. If it does happen, I'll let you guys know.

Barran, I can tell you exactly how many of each exist. I made two Journey statues. One is in a case in our Santa Monica Studios. The other is on a shelf in my office. Regarding Kratos, I made 5 altogether (I know I said I only made 4 earlier, but I forgot that my boss really liked it and had me make one for him). One for the Marketing Dept, One for Merchandising Dept, One is one display in the Manhattan Sony store, I have one and my boss has one.

There ya go! I'll keep digging up pics for you all

G

[Thetof91]

It would be real nice to see picture of your office with your stuff... Like a overall picture :p

[Sylfaris]

First of all i want to say "be welcome to this forum" and of course an awesome collection you got there :)

Really looks like an amazing job you got there! :D

And i can only agree with Thetof, a picture of your office would be awesome!

:notworthy:

[Letrico]

I can't even describe how impressed I am with those items there Gary.

All I can say my expression while viewing the images is this:

:notworthy: I have said it before, but wow that just looks amazing! You have a dream job and you have the talent bud!

I specially love the Sweet Tooth Mask Statue on the shelf & that life size Sweet Tooth Mask! They look amazing.

[Thetof91]

I want a office like that some day :D

[Fad]

Thanks guys, but the real artist credit goes to my talented vendors. I'll build the occasional mockup, but I shop a lot of stuff out. For instance, for the upcoming game, "Counterspy", I built a couple mockups to show what 1:6th scale collectible might look like (can't reveal their choice yet),

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/garybarth/0040765E-693B-41F3-A01A-E8FCBD28401C-361-00000029E1FD8A68_zps58838c38.jpg

but it also helped management to make the decision on whether to green light the full size statue for the foyer.

Wow what a dream office!
Love those Sweet Tooth masks, can you tell me more about the material used for both sizes? Might try to hunt for one if possible..

Fantastic job from you and your team. I'm more and more impressed after every single images you throw at us. Your workplace is fantastic.

I really wish there was a journey statue like the one you have, I'm so in love with it.

Hi Barran,

Most of that stuff isn't PlayStation related. As I mentioned, I'm also a collector, so I pick up stuff here and there. I have a 16'x20" room that I built onto my house that has a lot of stuff too.

I'll take better pics later but I can tell you what some of the stuff is. From the left to right:

A challenge coin set I made for PlayStation Allstars Battle Royale
A army men set we made with Helghast and ISA for Killzone 3
A Necronimicon we made for an Evil Dead/PSN cross promotion event at Comic-con
A Sly Cooper Safe prototype that was never produced (has the games and a museum column with Sly's business card made of printed aluminum)
That Ratchet and Clank space armor statue that Insomniac made (worth a lot, I hear)
A delrin bat skeleton display that I bought at Comic-con
My shelf of 3D printing and prototyping to show people different examples of the medium
A bunch of busts from artists I respect
A bunch of Collectibles, Pacific Palisades Aliens stuff and whatnot

G

[ingmar1988]

I got the PASBR coins :) they are lovely. To bad not for every character.

[LyricalOne]

A Necronimicon we made for an Evil Dead/PSN cross promotion event at Comic-con


I thought it was one of them...

I Need that. Evil Dead is my one of my childhood favorites

[Fad]

I got the PASBR coins :) they are lovely. To bad not for every character.
Thanks! Sly looked a little psychotic, but they needed a collectible and only gave me a couple weeks to produce something. Those are the characters the marketing peeps chose. I thought they turned out pretty good.

thanks Gary, thats some really really cool stuff, cant wait to see close up photos! i would love to see your collectors room! i already saw that Blade life size statue which looks awesome, was that a custom made statue or a official statue? i also collect video game statues, you can check out my collection here (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11883) if you want to :thumb:

do you already know whats your next project is after CounterSpy? maybe some cool The Order 1886 stuff or somethink like that ^^

[ingmar1988]

Do you know how many of the playstation all stars coins were made, i did not see them often on ebay or anything. So im very happy to own mine.

[misterunboxers]

:nosleep:

Fantastic stuff here thanks for joining and sharing.

[Fad]

Oh yeah, cool stuff is coming for the Order:1886. However, I'm not working on the Collectibles on that one. I'm making stuff for the tradeshows for all three regions (U.S., UK and Japan). More on that later...

Ingmar, if memory serves, I made about 200 sets

hej fad,

and you can?t sell some of your nice stuff? :)

[underfox]

The Order:1886, holy moly, the bar must be quite high for this one .

Teasing ON

By the way, don't you do some kind of " making off " of your sculpt? I know a lot of people ( me included ) that would love to see the creative process from rough sketches to the final sculpt by showing pictures or even better, a video.

Hey all,

Sorry I've been gone for a few. I went to the Monsterpalooza Convention in Burbank last week (always looking for new talent), and spent the last couple days training on our new Objet 24 3D printer.

Lets see, Merch, I'm afraid I couldn't sell stuff, even if I wanted to. I like my job way too much to jeopardize it for a few bucks.

Underfox, can't really talk much about what's being planned for The Order. All I can say is that my team will be building some amazing displays for E3 and for the other regions' tradeshows as well. I'm really excited about it as I have the budget to do some movie quality stuff....so I've hired some amazing Hollywood talent (sculptors, seamstresses, prop makers). In the words of George Constanza on Seinfeld, "We're takin' it up a notch!" ;-)

[imironmann]

Can't wait to see what your idea of "taking it up a notch" is!

Do keep us updated with pics from E3!

Better yet just take me with you! I can get myself there, just need a little help getting through the door lol.

[underfox]

Your sculpts are already fantastic and now your saying you will be taking it up a notch?

Is there really no way for you to document it and release some kind of mini making off video slightly before showing the statue to the public? Like this video for exemple? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGnPeDVihu0):beg:

[blingaling]

Holy hairy hoppin hell, I need to check the collections board more often. Fantastic stuff Fad, thanks so much for sharing :)
Can't wait to see more!

[Treehouse_Ryan]

Sure, here's a few pics of what I can show (there's concept art and stuff hanging on some walls, so I can't show everything).

Pardon me, but what car is that? As in which game is it from?

[CheapAssassin]

It's the car from Back from the Future.. A movie.

[Dr_Jengo]

Ahh I kinda guessed that but I thought it was something from a video game. That's damn cool!

in all seriousness that is the coolest thing I have ever seen in an office. How do you get any work done?? lol

[v1sav1s]

Telltale made a game for Back to the Future right? The car made in appearance in their series. :p

[imironmann]

Wicked DeLorean! Very cool!

For some reason though every time I look at this gets stuck in my head

Anything from E3 to show us?

[Fad]

Hi there,

I wish I had more stuff to show from E3, but I was in crazy runaround mode. Here's some pics of the Galahad display we made.

[toxicatom5]

Holy hell, that is amazingly lifelike in appearance! Very nice work you've done there!

[underfox]

incredibly well done indeed and those facial hair :notworthy:

here is my adress so you can send it to me J/k


Thre is one thing that could have been slightly better I think ( How can I dare make a critic out of such great statue :tomato:).The cloth are too clean in my humble opinion.

[Ryaku]

welcome here !!

whaoouu i'm crying ! it's amazing collection !

;)

[LeX]

Wow, just wow

well I think it's perfect. :P

Really amazing piece. I'm still surprised it survived with all the selfies that were taken with it.

[bbki]

These two are your handy work too?

Lol! No, he's right, I need to dirty him up a bit more. The costume got held up in Customs and I wanted more time with it...but it wasn't meant to be. We literally dressed him the day he was driven to E3. There are some other alterations we're going to make to him as well, but expect him to be a little more battle worn if we take him to PAX.

Thanks,

G

[Fad]

Lol! Yup, one of my vendors built them for me. They did a really awesome job. I just got the Arc gun back here to the office. In a few days, I'll take better pics.
