Statues & Figures Thread - Any & All Game Related

[L1Slayer]

Hm, I think I'll keep all future Statue releases in this thread as well. As it seems it's the Forums way. :)

Blizzard has opended POs for two new Statues:

Jaina Proudmoore - World of WarCraft:
https://i.imgur.com/rBGIP4y.png


Lucio - Overwatch:
https://i.imgur.com/iYntDIr.png
Lucio - Gear Store: https://gear.blizzard.com/us/overwatch-lucio-statue/
Jaina - Gear Store: https://gear.blizzard.com/us/world-of-warcraft-jaina-statue

I have to say, I abosutley love Jainas overall sculpt, except her face. Since Blizzcon they must have been doing horrible things to her. :hammer:
If they change it, I might be grabbing her later this year.

Lucio is going into my collection for sure, with Hanzo, when Blizz starts their discounts @Blackfriday or Christmas.

Cayde-6 statue by Level52 is finally availbale for pre-order. You have until June to pre-order.

I really like it. 350 USD.
Since they sold only a total of 250 Uldren statues I get it that the price is slightly going up. Making these a Bungie store exclusive with thight pre-order deadlines maybe isn't the best idea.
But hey. It's more limited.

That is pretty nice.... price is a bit much for a 1/6th scale but would have to wait and see the final product up close to know if it was worth the cost or not.

I do not like how they say it is numbered but do not offer the run number size (I hate this practice, you are buying it without knowing how rare it will be).

Also I really got tired of Destiny after 1... I got 2 for free awhile back and tried to play the story but it was SO BORING. 2 felt just as bland to play as 1 to me personally so I stopped after the first few missions and deleted the game.

ES is set as F4F, you have a certain amount of time to order and that's it.

And I understand what you mean. You have to play with friends and do strikes and raids otherwise it can get boring. Forsaken was pretty good imo. Maybe you shpuld try if you can grab it on sale

Yeah i figured that was probably what they are doing (but I also never liked that system either... basically saying we will make a massive batch if a massive amount order).

Yeah I am sure there is some good content in there but I am not willing to deal with the rest of it to get there... just done with the current Destiny style, Destiny 2 IS Destiny 1 just more content as there was no meaningful changes IMO (I hope they reinvent it in the future now that they're free from Activision).

How do you have a number sold since Uldren is open for order right now?

[L1Slayer]

How do you have a number sold since Uldren is open for order right now?

As far as I can see, he is not a PO anymore and already out on the market.
So the final edition size should be known by now.
What you can order in their store are the spare pieces they couldn't sell or have been overproduced.

Overall, it looks like he sold very badly. Maybe only 150-200 pieces.
Everything under 300 is considered very bad and means the producing factories will increase the cost due to the low edition size.
They probably raised the ES to a total of 250 in order to keep the cost moderate and sell the extra copies over time.

Really like it. Depending on how he looks painted, I might consider placing him next to my XM Batgirl and Shogun Batman.

I got mine and the brown shipper box says xx/ 250.
Indeed they probably made a little more to sell later on and in case of breakages.

I almost forgot to post the unboxing here. Thought you guys subbed to the channel already. Anyways, here is the unboxing:

It looks pretty good overall.
The PO deadline was 2 days before forsaken's release I think. Very bad decision from Bungie, people didn't even know the character yet. And we didn't know if the dlc was going to be good neither.

I am pretty sure cayde-6 will have a bigger ES. Lots of people like the character.

Shadow of the colossus 1st colossus by Prime1

830 USD for 18 inches tall :scratch: :this:

I am fine with smaller size, it makes it easier to get all of them. But damn the price.

Not so sure. I hope sideshow gets the exclusive version. I am not paying 215 USD of shipping, plus taxes. Hell that's 1550 CAD to get this here it's way too much.

Agreed! Unfortunately, it looks like Sideshow might no longer be stocking P1 statues. I read something about P1 getting warehouses in the US and Europe, and I saw while browsing their site that they have a new, more affordable US shipping option. But I was really disappointed to see 215 USD shipping to Canada; that really prices me out of this line.

I tought back about this. Sideshow shipping would be 90 USD but they have this extra 5% duty. So 40 USD. Plus DHL fees (25 instead of 10 with fedex air). So that's 140 USD shipping and extras vs prime 1. It's only 70 USD more from Prime 1 in the end. On a 1000 $ statue.

I am thinking of getting this one from P1 in case it has a very limited ES and sells-out. And in case sideshow doesn't get the ex. Or any at all.

Then I'll see for the next ones. If this one doesn't sell-out until release or sideshow gets some for sale, I am not buying the other ones from P1. maybe even waiting for sale, or getting only the few I really want.


Feels like a bad decision from P1 to let down sideshow. Hell, shipping on Bloodborne elieen from P1 is 400 ish.

I doubt it's bad for P1. It's just bad for US customers and everyone getting their stuff from SS. Don't you have a reseller in CA that doesn't use SS as a distributor?

I would recommend not Pre-Ordering the piece, unless you absolutely want it. It's not going to sell out. Only very few pieces of P1 sell out before they release. On the other hand, if you want to see the line continue, Pre-Ordering is the way to go.

Nope. The only ones I know are Toysquare, Imagination Hobby and Toytards vancouver and they all go through Sideshow.

It's bad for P1 if poeple don't buy because it's too expensive. They'll be stuck with this stock they'll take years to sell, or they will have to lower edition sizes. Which means higher production costs.

I am not sure sure how much they make on statues sold through sideshow. Probably much less than direct from their store.
If they want to switch to P1 store only sales then they should at least lower their prices to compensate for shipping.

And I really wanted it. Before I saw the price. I guess I will wait a couple of months and see after that.

[defiler]

I'd pay $400 for that statue in a heartbeat. But $800... no thanks.

Well, I guess I'll be the only person on here that'll own one when it releases from the way you guys are talking about it. :sorry:

If I were a huge SotC fan I would get it as well.
Personally, I have my wallet charged up for Prime 1s upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake line and I also may stray a bit into their DMC5/Resi 2/Persona 5 lines.
The price seems steep, but the piece is also pretty big. Hope you will enjoy it! :)

If it makes anyone feel better: Berserk fans have it even thougher. Their new apostle Zodd Statue cost 2,6k$ + 500$(eco, US only) - 1200$ shipping to the US/EU.

Jeebuz! Yeah, I'm glad I'm not a Berserk fan. I was comparing The Witcher statues to SotC and those seem to be far better detail.

I mean, c'mon, look at this!

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's possible to make him look better. Their website states that the exclusive horse of the hero is just 5,3cm (2") in height and it even has a small base. So the protagonist should be even smaller. Like 4cm or something.
Not sure how well one could produce such small pieces. Seems amazing to me that he even looks as "good" as he does at that size.

I agree. I'm just being nitpicky. Just trying to compare him to other statues P1 makes and trying to "justify" a slightly lower price for the quality. I believe P1 are one of the most prolific statue makers in the biz for consumers.

Would love to have the GOW ones but just in shipping and custom taxes it will be hundreds of €... i will have to pass :(

[L1Slayer]

You guys should check for local retailers. It's quite cheaper than ordering from oversees.
Btw. I cannot recommend ordering via Sideshow because they seem to be in clinch with P1 right now. Something is going on and customers are the ones paying for it sadly.

Shioktoys.com from Malaysia is a good source. The owner is super nice and close friends with P1.

Other than that, P1 is trying to implement cheaper shipping methods right now. US customers have very good cheap option, but the rest of the world is still work in progress. (They are also working on US and EU warehouses)

Bottom line: Wait and see. There might be options for you guys :)

There are no retailers in Portugal.
Ordering from Malasya is the same as US, as long as it is outside EU, anything above 20€ is subject to Custom Taxes in almost every EU country.

Economy shipping from P1 would at least decrease shipping costs significantly and thus also a bit of custom fees. These bad boys won't ship within the next 2 years, so maybe we all get lucky and Prime 1 can tweak a little bit in that regard :)

And at least let sideshow and retailers get some for sale. Buying direct from P1 was the most expensive option for me, but now it looks like it's the only option.

I really want this GOW diorama but it will be too expensive from P1 direct. I am not buying from them with those crazy shipping costs, on top of the expensive statue, plus all the custom fees, that is all.

Would they even ship this to uk, never used prime1. And anyone know when they will possibly become available to buy or start taking monthly payment?

That is so dumb they do that. Does not make sense that they would charge more overall then a retailer.

Man things like this that hurt the consumer that make no sense really piss me off. It's like... why?

Hope you find a better option... sucks that your only option is the most expensive.


I like the statues too but I know they are far out of my league in terms of cost.

[Mike1888]

I too have been priced out of new P1 pieces because of shipping cost. I went to order the 1/3 Guts and the shipping was over $500 CAD lol. SS has shipped (smaller) 1/3's to me for around $100 - and they get here in 1 day.

Kratos' new character design doesn't really do it for me when it comes to statues so passing on this one isn't too difficult. Really hoping they can bring shipping costs down for Canada before any FF7 or Persona statues go up for preorder. Plus I saw they also announced an Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn) statue.

Extremely appreciate the heads up on that site!

[L1Slayer]

Prime 1 shipping prices are not that high because they like to suck money out of their customers. It's nothing they have a big say in at the moment. That's why they try to get warehouses in the US and EU, while trying to offer cheaper shipping methods at the same time. (like economy shipping for the US)

And when it comes to taxes and customs, these are getting charged by ones own country and have nothing to do with the manufacturer.

I really do hope we see more and cheaper ways to get ours hands on P1s. Especially the poor australian peps suffer hard.

What others? Are you referring to companies sitting elsewhere in the world? Because that would make 0 sense, since shipping costs are not just a matter of distance, size and weight, but also about the individual countries and their trade agreements and of course the delivery services themselves.
CoolProps would be another japanese manufacturer that is similar to Prime 1.
They don't ship oversees at all. You have to go through another distributer to get their stuff. They don't even have an english translation for their website.

Prime 1, like any other business, makes the most money through their own website. So promoting it, like they do with some store exclusives, makes pretty much sense. What doesn't make sense is, to accuse them of charging ridiculous amounts of money (at least for some statues, especially heavy and multi-boxed ones) from oversees customers on purpose.
That would be totally counter productive for them.
If they would do that on purpose, why the hell should they even bother with economy shipping for the US and setting up various warehouses then?
Besides that, they also sell their stuff via HEO to EU retailers where you get all P1 pieces quiet a bit cheaper compared to a direct order through them, while they suffer a profit cut with two different companies.
Example: I would pay 1350€ + around 40-50€ shipping if I order the XE Suit Batman within the EU. Ordering from P1 would costs me 1700€.

Or take another example: XM from Singapur.
They charge 1095SGD (which is like 700€ or 800$) for their 1:4 Shogun Batman. Half of that even in Asia!
Their newest Deathstroke is far smaller compared to the Shogun Batman, but still costs like 300€ / 350$ shipping.
Luckily, we have an official distributor of their stuff here in Germany, so can get their stuff for reasonable prices. Much like using a distributor for P1.

Prime 1 isn't the only one that is struggling with this issue. Keep in mind: They are not as big as Sideshow. Hell, they started out in 2012, with their first statue being released in 2014. They can't snap a finger and get things done like they want to.

Still:
People wanted to place oversee orders directly through them - they made it happen
People wanted cheaper shipping prices - Prime 1 is working on it, with US eco being the first step
People wanted US/EU warehouses - Prime 1 is working on it. (But I have my doubts about an EU one being profitable for them, unless they partner up with someone)

I know I sound like a hardcore fanboy at this point. But that company has done a lot for collectors and the industry in general. So seeing "unfair" arguments made against them makes me a bit pissed.
If there is proof they are doing something wrong, I have no problem with criticising them. As I did with their variant policy.
But until then, they have made extremely good business decisions so far, as one can see with their stellar success, that I give them the benefit of the doubt right now.

Too long, didnt read after the 1st paragraph.

Have you shipped 10, 20, 30kg?
Because due to my profession, i have received and shipped from/to every where around the world and can tell you that no company has even got close to this shipping costs and i am talking from Europe, to South America, to Asia, to North America, hell, even Africa.

Do not make excuses for them.

Is not the 1st time you "act friendly" towards big companies (amazon and the sekiro steelbook...), i dont care about that, to each its own, however, do NOT try to justify what has no explanation.

Edit:

Just as an example, you can get the Dark Souls Trilogy LE, that weights a lot and has a considerable size, for 71.42€. Tracked, insured and delivered in 3 days from Japan to any EU country.
Now, i do know the statue will be heavier and the package bigger, but almost 10x more expensive? Not a chance in the world.
I am not saying they take part of the shipping costs for them, but that they could and should get cheaper alternatives, of that, i have no doubts

Can't say it's my profession, but the cheapest method I found so far is not under 140€ to Japan. (about 1:4 sclae, up to 20kg, without full ensurance)
Compared to my 1:4 I ordered directly from P1, 120$ shipping doesn't seem totally unreasonable.
I paid for my two 1:3 pieces from Sideshow 110$ and 140$.
And another example: A 1:3 P1 Statue I'm eventually buying from a retailer within the EU is quoted to be 40-60€ (depending on if it's one or two boxes) and that's basically just to drag it over the border.
And for even more, see my comment about XM before.

I do not make excuses for them, I try to stay neutral and find reasonable arguments based on the information we have. (While not being part of the industry)
Hench my post, you didn't read.

I won't argue about what I did with amazon, I'll leave that for you decide.
But I'm not allowed to justify the unexplained, while it's okay to bash it?
That's the reason why I appear so pro company. People tend to simply jump onto rage trains without even trying to see if there might be a reason.

See my comment on the first quote.
About a 10x more expensive piece, which you refer to, would probably be something like Lobo. And that piece is expected to come in 3 or even more(!) boxes and weights over 30Kg.
(Not saying Lobos shipping cost is justified, but the reason on why it's so high, is unclear and certainly not something P1 wants)
With that being said, I would guess the statues of GoW and DMC will ship for around 120$-180$.


I am not saying they take part of the shipping costs for them, but that they could and should get cheaper alternatives, of that, i have no doubts

And as I in my post before, that is exactly what they are trying to do.
Economy Shipping for the US was the first step and it's vastly more cheaper. EU and US warehouses are suppose to come as well. So what else are they suppose to do?

I simply dislike it, when people just jump the ship without trying to figure out why someone would act as they do. Why would P1 implement so heavy shipping costs, when the only thing it does is restricting people from buying from them?
Until I have a good reason to think otherwise, I'll stay neutral.

[flatout]

Spect3r's point is 100% valid. If the companies that re-sell PRIME 1 Statues can give a better price then the direct price from PRIME 1 shipping or item should be easily less then the retailer who is buying them and re-selling them.

I personally see this as an easy and obvious thing.

You are checking prices for general public, companies have contracts, get way cheaper prices because of the amount they send.

Also, thats to Europe that is a much longer travel than from Japan to Canada (from where Mike is and all this $500 talk comes from)

Fair point on that. Canada and Australia seem to have insane quotes. As for why is beyond me. All I'm saying is, it's hardly on purpose.

No problem. And you are right on it being insane. So are the shipping prices in general. (including XM and Sideshow)

As I said in the respective thread, I understand your view and I largely share it. But it contains many people that work their ass off and like the saying goes: "shit is always falling down".
I guess, we just have different viewing angles on this, but overall I agree that Amazon is a real cancer.

To be honest, I don't know Nin Nin Games, but they look like a bigger retailer, selling all kinds of stuff. My best guess on this is, that they have way more quota with better conditions.
Edit: Nin Nin quotes me 215€ for a 1:4 P1 statue. And another one for 65€. :think:
Don't know what to make out of that.

Probably because resellers get them delivered in larger quantities.
Sideshow for example gets their stock via ship oversees. (That's also the reason why it takes 1-2 Months longer until retailers get their stock)
Edit: Their new US economy shipping is working similar afaik. Getting your order shipped out with various different other items from other companies via ship. Takes 1-2 Months, but costs only half and sometimes even less.

I think at this point we can agree on shipping prices being very high (too high) more often then not.
The reason why I went into this topic "more in depth" is just that some comments look like accusations, while I cannot really believe P1 would try to rip their customers off this way. They could come up with better methods. The last few comments made it pretty clear that no one is willing to buy, unless shipping prices go down. And I can admit, maybe Prime 1 can do better, but as I said before they seem to try. In the end these prices are sure as hell not earning them more money.

If i am to be honest I dont buy much from them, but for the bigger stuff that i checked their shipping prices were not as outrageous as the ones we been discussing.

Also, i have got an engine block (a full engine block for a car) from USA last year, that weighs way, way more than these statues and we paid around 700€ but just the case where it came weighs almost as much as any of these statues, granted is from USA and not Japan, but is a god damn engine block!

There are probably a few instances where you can get bigger and more expensive stuff for less. But I have no clue on why. Most likely because there is more to handling shipments then we know. Like collective deliveries. Do you remember how fast the delivery was?

But damn man, 700€. I understand why, but seeing that quote on paper would get me pale like ghost. Totally understandable that you question the 600$ for P1 Lobo, when you can get an engine block instead. :D

Well, in all fairness it took some weeks to arrive, i believe it will be much faster shipping in the statues lol :)

[flatout]

Probably because resellers get them delivered in larger quantities.
Sideshow for example gets their stock via ship oversees.

Sorry to butt in but I noticed you are missing a fundamental point to all of this.

Re-sellers do get bulk shipping deals but to their own storage factories and THEN they must ship them again when people order them and they still find a way to offer decent shipping cost AND make a profit even with the extra cost of the bulk shipping to their warehouses.

Basically buying direct from PRIME 1 cuts out the middle man and the additional bulk order shipping costs as well as the re-seller profit margin yet they still cannot offer a similar price from PRIME 1 (the original makers of the statue).

Does that make more sense? I could do a long form equation that shows it better if you still do not know what we mean but the gist is ordering from PRIME 1 cuts out multiple parts of the cost yet still costs more somehow.

[L1Slayer]

Well, in all fairness it took some weeks to arrive, i believe it will be much faster shipping in the statues lol :)

In that case, I would assume it was sent via ship. That could explain why it's was relatively "cheap" compared to Lobos quote.
Still, lets hope P1 can get their prices down, or at least offer their stuff to more retailers around the world!

The only thing that is so damn expensive about Prime 1 is their "express" shipping method, nothing else.
That's why they just recently introduced economy shipping to the US and are working on more options for various other parts of the world.
(Hardcore example Lobo: Normal is 864$ @_@ and economy is 369$ or Hush Ivy is normal 512$ and with economy 190$, all to the US)

Now, you could argue that they could pay a part of those shipping costs themselves, since they do not have a middle man, but I'm not sure how effective that would be for them. (On the other hand, who says they aren't doing so already :rotf: )
When shipping costs are like 500$, what is the point on opting in your own 100$ to lower it to 400$? It's still way too much and wouldn't convince many people. Besides, you then again miss your targeted profit share.

They simply have to find better ways to get their statues out cheaper.

[flatout]

The only thing that is so damn expensive about Prime 1 is their "express" shipping method, nothing else.


Oh... so they offer a fair low price for regular/economy or even Priority shipping? From the few people who talked about it I was under the impression that it was more expensive to get one shipped direct from PRIME 1 then re-sellers like Sideshow who buy from PRIME 1 direct and then re-sell and re-ship themselves.

It depends. I would leave Sideshow out at this point, because they are so big, they get special treatment/conditions. But for other smaller retailers it comes down to about the same if you choose the new economy shipping.
If I would order Lobo locally I would pay around 2400€ + ~100€ shipping (due to 3-4 boxes). From Prime 1 it's about 2540€ with taxes and custom. (but that's a bit hands and feets here since the P1 price is for the US and my local price is within the EU. P1 might be the cheaper option once we get the same for the EU)
So I think it might be a very close call on where you can get it a bit cheaper and I would always advice to compare first. (you get a quote from P1 if you register an account and go to the checkout with a statue in your basket. Even if it's a PO)

The only thing that may shift the favor towards P1 completely is that they offer 5% reward points, much like sideshow.

I know this is abit not for here but on the last of us community on Facebook saw a guy post about having 45 clicker bust and it all looks genuine. But all of them Have no number at the bottom, is that something that happens. Could it be fake or studio leftovers?

[defiler]

That is so dumb they do that. Does not make sense that they would charge more overall then a retailer.

Man things like this that hurt the consumer that make no sense really piss me off. It's like... why?.

It makes perfect sense if they're the manufacturer and not just a reseller - it's cheaper to buy from a retailer because they ship multiple in bulk and save on customs/shipping. They also have agreed demand/sales. With a one-off customer, you're on the hook for all the risk, all the hassle, and paying more to ship 100 pieces to 100 individual customers than to ship 1 lot of 100 to a retailer. So yes, it should be more expensive to sell direct than to buy from the retailer.

Spect3r's point is 100% valid. If the companies that re-sell PRIME 1 Statues can give a better price then the direct price from PRIME 1 shipping or item should be easily less then the retailer who is buying them and re-selling them.

I personally see this as an easy and obvious thing.
No. The resellers probably get 30% off because they purchase in bulk and have favorable agreements. This is Business 101.

Now let's be clear, I'm not saying the shipping is anywhere near fair, because it's not. I've shipped an entire seat of a car US-->Netherlands which is much heavier than any statue and it was less than $100 with tracking.

So the re-sellers/retailers ship direct from factory just like PRIME 1 (they do not get their stock sent to their warehouse and then later sent to customers?... if this is the case does the factory that made them warehouse the unsold ones?)? If so that makes sense... but I still have doubts since unsold stock would need to go and be held somewhere and I feel the factory would not be willing to also warehouse and ship over long periods of time.

I get this and already know this (as you say that is simplistic business 101, the more you buy the better the deal) but I understood it as the retailers were shipping to warehouse and then after that customers which adds a whole other shipping layer to the re-sold one. My assumption could be wrong though but that is why I did not take your line of thought as it would not make sense if I am right about the shipping and warehouse issue.




EDIT:

I suppose it could be they all contract a warehouse together and share the warehouse burden and that warehouse then ships for them... but I have nothing to indicate this and I imagine this would have its own issues of who is responsible if something goes wrong (doesn't seem viable but who knows).

The way I know is:
1. Prime 1 allocates a certain amount of their stock to a Distributor
2. Distributor pics it up from Chinese factory
3. Retailer orders from Distributor
4. Distributor bundles up various orders from Retailers in the same region and ships them via ship.
5. Retailer receives them and sends it out to their customers.
(There may be exceptions, but I think this is the most common situation)

I'm not aware on how much customs and taxes a retailer has to pay when they receive their shipment, but it's probably way lower than what normal dudes like us pay.

That is pretty close to what I figured... I think. So PRIME 1 has less invested then a retailer... correct (due to the cost of shipping the allocated retailer stock?)? The retailers have an extra layer of shipping costs (albeit bulk shipping costs)?

That was all I was getting at. But even so it does not necessarily mean PRIME 1 would take that amount off theirs for consumers... but if they are not competitive they should IMO.

My best guess is, that they are racing to get different options up an running for customers world wide and don't bother with short term solutions.
But who know really. Good thing with P1 is though: Their edition sizes are usually so high, you don't have a rush on ordering. So I would just wait and see what happens.

[Mar-l-Aoutat]

I don't think P1 is having those insane shipping costs on purpose. FedEx is having insane shipping costs and P1 has to charge this price.

Of course they have no controll over customs duties. That's not their fault I understand. What I am really worried about is shipping not taxes.

What I think is dumb, is Prime 1 not offering any other option to Ship. Fedex is quick but it's expensive, it is THE most expensive option. How about DHL, EMS, or shipping via ship like their economy shipping to the US. That would help. But instead they keep dealing with fedex express and only them.


Sideshow, as a distributor, surely don't use Fedex to get their P1 pieces from Japan to their warehouse. I guess this stuff is shipped in containers via ship and takes months to arrive so they don't have to overpay.

Now there is still this thing about Sideshow taking a profit margin on the statues they sell. If P1 sells them their statues for 60% of the price, then they are probably not doing a lot of profit selling through Sideshow. I bet that's why they decided to open their international website. Sick of letting Sideshow take all the profit.

And if they sell us their stuff same price they sold to Sideshow (60% of the price or so) so we have cheaper prices OR reduce shipping costs at their own expense to get people to buy, then they are still not making a lot of profit from their own store, plus customers don't buy in bulk. So it ain't better for them than selling from Sideshow again.


So I guess that's why they are expensive as f.


If they want to make a fair profit in all of this and get people to buy they have no choice but offering different shipping options, the quick expensive ones and the slow, cheap ones, OR get warehouses in the US and EU, and these are two things they are working on currently.

Until then I am not buying from them, unless shipping is decent.

Shipping for a 1100 USD 1:3 batman to canada is 900 USD btw. How nice.

I'd honestly love to get that statue, but it's Ubi... the last 2 Watch Dogs games have had statues for sale 2-3 years after release of the game. Up until the last few months they still had WD2 Marcus and Tbone statues for sale, and are still selling off the Wrench Jr. Robots. Might pass and just buy it down the road for $50 or so when they clearance it.

Wow, I have to stop coming here, it's costing me money! :lol:

Couldn't resist either & ordered the smaller statue, should look awesome next to my other Yhorm from the Prestige Edition. :woohoo:

Free shipping was a big incentive too.

The Baldur statue from Prime1 is available for pre-order now: https://www.prime1studio.com/gow-baldur-and-broods-upmgow-01ex.html

Costs $1200 and it's $104/$344 for economy/standard shipping. What do you guys think about the pricing? Considering this is just for the Baldur one, and the Kratos/Atreus one is separate; also the second one might be more expensive due to bigger size? IDK. I really want the whole set, but seems like a bit out of budget for me.

Too expensive for me. It's even worst getting it here. If Kratos costs the same, getting the diorama here will cost 5000 canadian dollars ( 1200 + 453 shipping + 180 taxes) x 2 x 1.33(currency exchange rate)

Looks good but it's way to much. They really have to work things around with cheaper international shipping if they are going to raise up the prices of the statues like that.


An admin told me that part of the price is because of the GOW franchise that cost them lots of money.

[L1Slayer]

Yeah, GOW is probably more expensive. It's a well established franchise by now.
It is certainly on the higher end for a 1:4, but if you want them, it's still a great piece.

Kratos and Atreus will be more expensive, pretty sure of that. 1,5k+.

I like the color and look of that statue overall... I personally would want an Ezio ACII one (sadly there isn't one).

These are 1/4 scale so they are pretty expensive at $688.00 (plus shipping i imagine).

You can see them here on Purearts's new website:

Yeah that's true for sure. Though I bet the same goes for the bird's pirch and alll those little animus things sticking up (and other things... even the Altair one has a lot of pieces that scream "I'M GONNA BREAK!").


Altair, without even blinking

Yeah as far as the character I agree (Ezio over Altair for me though... well ACII Ezio anyways).

[Mar-l-Aoutat]

I wouldn't be surprised if they make Ezio at some point. They seem to have more on the way with this animus line. I'm thinking Ezio, Connor, maybe Edward kenway ?

I talked to the PureArts people... they said one more 1/4 scale is on the way but wouldn't confirm who. When I mentioned hoping it would be Ezio or Edward the answer was stay tuned, I'm sure you'll be excited to see who it is.

I really hope it's Ezio. I've got the McFarlane Edward which is cool and sculpt/finish is almost as good as PureArts although not on scale with the pUreArts legendary pieces, so don't really need another big Edward piece. I also have a truly grail-ish piece in Attakus Ezio artist proof 2/20 but it is smaller and the face is unique as well as the Ezio's Fury sculpt. Of the two, I'd love to get Epic Ezio materializing from Animus into AC2 black edition garb with dual hidden blades extended at side and head down pose. That would be AWESOME. If they could add a motion sensor triggering a pre-recorded "Requiescat in pace" or "Salute Claudia!"... with her answer.. "are you here to look at the books?"

Anyway, I digress... Cheers - JC

Try messaging Alex Davis on facebook and explain the situation. let us know what happens.

[Mike1888]

First4Figures customer service has to be the worst I've dealt with in this hobby. I had a worse defect (in my view) than you on a different statue and after going back and forth with CS I ended up with... $5 in reward points! PCS and Sideshow have given me over 10 times that amount, without any haggling, for minor grievances unrelated to the statue itself. F4F like to promote themselves as being this community-driven, consumer-friendly company but it's just a front. As in your case, they will go as far as to blatantly lie in order to stick you with a defective product (for which you paid $500+!).

I've also read that Alex is in fact the one responsible for this policy.

[Mar-l-Aoutat]

Well if they ever try to pull that on me I'd do a chargeback with my credit card. They don't want to replace or refund, I'll do it myself.


They weren't like that in the past, they used to be ok with replacements. Alex said he is trying to improve on CS but from what I see it's not going better. I believe lots of people cancelled statues because of that.

Here's the answer:

"Thank you for reaching out. Rest assured that the hole highlighted in your images is normal and not a defect. The hole is used during the casting of the statue pieces as an airhole"

I told them, that I don't care about what Kind of hole that is and that I want an plum without hole.

Here's the answer:

"We can assure you that the hole is NOT a defect and is a part of the casting process. All replacement pieces will also have this hole.

The pieces of our statues are cast hollow. The casting process involves heating and cooling the piece. The airhole moderates the air pressure inside the hollow piece during the casting process to prevent the piece from deforming. Without the airhole, air pressure will build up inside the cast piece during heating, and the opposite will happen when cooling down. As the resin is malleable when it is hot, this change in air pressure will cause the piece and expand and contract unpredictably, deforming the shape of the piece."


I don't believe them. They are obviously lying. I never had such a visible airhole. Very dubious. I still want an replacement. Without a hole :D

Send them the photo of Mar-l-Aoutat's plume & then get them to say it's normal.

If they still won't budge, politely state you will smear their name all over the internet.

Already did the first. Thanks to Mar-I_Aoutat :thumb:

Waiting for the answer. If they still won't replace me the plum, I'll post it on facebook and will buy just used F4F.

[defiler]

I would agree with them on why the hole is there, as it makes total sense. However, when you cast things that are dependent only upon the visual appeal, you design these to be cast with something like that in a spot nobody can see, not in a place where everyone would notice :sick:

F4F CS used to be really good around 10-12 years ago. Albeit, they were a little slow in sorting issues when first raised, but always had my issues resolved to a satisfactory outcome with little resistance. When I say slow, I mean real slow. It took 2 and a half years to sort out an issue with my Wolf Link & Midna Statue, where the Midna piece had broken, then the replacement Midna piece had also arrived with me broken. It also took around 18 months for my Ganondorf Statue to be sorted too. There was a hairline fracture on the sword which I complained about, but it got replaced to a satisfactory outcome.

However, only last year, I had an issue with the paint finish on one of the spikes on my Majora's Mask. The paint defect "fell within their tolerances" and didn't warrant a replacement. It took some arguing with them to get this resolved, only for the replacement piece to have blisters/ bubbling in the resin. Don't get me wrong, the whole thing was resolved in less than a month in the end, but I shouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get an item replaced. I had to record a video of the item, highlighting the defect, along with the COA for my item and send it to them. Pictures were not enough it seems... -_- I was less than impressed. Here's an image of the blistering of the second item. Don't have the originally images for the first one still, only got the video which has my COA on, so won't be posting. :P

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o6oDJSEKxO7wGvJEpGCT1T4gStAd-Gjp

I have to say, their QC is not as up to standard as it used to be. Since their edition sizes and popularity has increased, and their fanbase has increased, the quality of their product has definitely gone down, IMO. :nono:

Well if they ever try to pull that on me I'd do a chargeback with my credit card. They don't want to replace or refund, I'll do it myself.


They weren't like that in the past, they used to be ok with replacements. Alex said he is trying to improve on CS but from what I see it's not going better. I believe lots of people cancelled statues because of that.

That's another issue entirely, because of the lengthy pre-order period for F4F items, you will be lucky if you are still within the charge-back period for your card provider by the time that you receive the item. For example, I have already finished paying for my Shiranui Statue, but still have yet to receive it. I think it was completed payment in May. :facepalm: Charge-back period for most major credit card provider is typically 180 Days.

Looking forward to seeing what the next Zelda statue release will be. Have got $375 reward credit to use... :ghey:

Thats insane, if ANY company dont sort out the issue within a couple weeks AT MOST, im charging back.
And thous 180 days to charge back only applies if you dont know how to complain.
I got charge backs done 6 months after my purchase.
Granted, that because of the company i have a very good relationship with them at the bank/cc company, so maybe that helps :P

In all fairness, when I complained about the item, I was advised that it needed to be fit into the manufacturing schedule and they estimated my wait time for a replacement. I was given the option of a partial refund, but opted against it. :shrug:

For that reason I cancelled my payment plan on Mimic (which I regret even ordering).
With a chargeback I wouldn't get all of my money back, just the last payment (200 USD or so for Ornstein). That's better than nothing and could compensate the defect.

That being said, if you do a chargeback I wouldn't be surprised if they banned your account. I have a couple friends who had their account banned, they lost all their credits, and their orders were all cancelled and refunded. All that because they complained about the low quality on F4F products (mostly Solaire PTS leaning issues). They were complaining real hard and making memes out of Alex and the products.
Looks like Alex took it personally and got rid of them. Didn't he think for a sec it might be better to fix the products and send replacements instead?

That community is getting toxic

Blizzard raised the prices on all Overwatch statues. Again. Get fucked, Blizzard.

[KnightOfTruth]

For all you Zelda fans -- F4F just released pre-orders for the new BOTW Zelda PVC figure. As they've been doing -- there's a limited release collector's version available only through them that looks well worth the price. As someone who owns the original Link one -- this next one looks great! It seems like they're shooting for a limited run of 3000 units, which, as we all know, isn't really a lot when it comes to Zelda merch.

Anyway -- here's a picture, and the link for pre-order (disclaimer: if you pre-order through MY link I get some bonus points too which is nice, but not necessary for you to order of course)

Blizzard doesn't give 2 shits about fans/players - over the years all they've done is say the same hting - "get fucked, consumers"

I used to be a huge Blizzard fan, but they never listen to fans and just spit out more garbage that nobody cares about.

I don't understand multiple price increases on statues that have already been out for a long time. Sure, higher prices for new statues for costs of production, but it is just scummy as fuck to raise the prices on already established releases multiple times.

Any indication on when they're opening validation for this? Seems strange that they are doing the validation thing on PVC statues. :shrug: They're releasing alot of PVC statues lately. I wonder if they're slowing down on polystone/resin statues? :think:

Also still waiting to hear what they're doing about the display case for the True Form Midna too, as this still hasn't been announced from what I know. :shrug:

Sadly, the overall composition is not really good in my opinion.
I actually can't believe I am writing that as a pretty hard Final Fantasy fan who has waited around 10 years for a decent FF Statue.
Maybe I just don't like Tsumes-Style, but this does nothing for me. :/
I hope some other folks can enjoy it. And I hope P1 really does the 7 Remake and gives me what I yearn for. :beg:

According to the news, they're gonna decide on how many they'll make based on the pre-orders. So I'm guessing this one isn't gonna be as rare as the previous one!

On another note, did I read right that they'll release another Ellie with Bow Statue but a PVC version? The limited 500pcs was a Polyresin Statue.

I received my Dark Souls Yhorm 1:12 statue and I love it ! The details are top notch. Unfortunately didn't have enough batteries to turn on the light-up but from what I've seen on facebook, it looks pretty good.
This thing is huge and not easy to put on display, at nearly 24 inches deep. I'll probably just display it like that for now.

I'd say the quality is very close to Prime 1 while still being cheaper.

Really looking forward to the next Pure Arts Dark Souls pieces!

Yes Square Enix finally seems to open up and let the pros do good work.
They even announced on twitter that P1 will be doing more statues from them and Nier only being the first IP.
I think it's save to assume we will finally see, at least one, top quality Final Fantasy 7 Remake statue in the future.

[sinanspd]

That NieR is insane and I am not even a hardcore fan of the game. Might make my first P1 purchase...

[sinanspd]

New statues announced as a part of TLOU day.

Gaming heads polystone 16" Ellie stealth edition (replaceable head and bow where as the standard edition is only the machette). Hunter edition to be revealed tomorrow. Currently marked 500$ and 550$

Japanese 8" PVC figure. ~330$. (comes to about 390$ with shipping and taxes to US)

https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/nd.images/uploads/d20200909_T2_TLOUDAY_2020_16x9_Social_Ampus.jpg

Tbh I am disappointed by all of these (or ND in general lately). It is insulting to the collectors to release 5 versions of the exact same statue months apart. DH 8", DH 12", GH 16" regular, GH 16" stealth, GH 16" hunter. So many interesting characters in part 2, so many epic scenes and this is what we get.. To me this is basically saying "we don't need to take any risks or put any efforts into this because collectors aren't very bright and they will buy the same thing 20 times"

I also think 400$ (inc shipping) for a 8" PVC that doesn't have an edition size, is a little bit steep...

Ok so... bad news for most of us. Looks like the upcoming Prime 1 NieR Automata statue will be a Square Enix Store exclusive and will not be sold on Prime 1's website. This means no payment plans. The deluxe edition of the statue is rumored to be 3200$ + shipping (call it 4K$) and I don't know how many people can drop that upfront and wait 2-3 years to receive the statue.

They also announced a 1/4 standalone 2B which is also a SE exclusive

Just FYI, as far as I know square enix store in the US doesn’t charge you until they ship

[L1Slayer]

Yeah, that price is totally insane.
2B Standalone - 929$
Reg - 2699$
DX 3199$

But I imagine it will sell despite the price tag. And FF7, if and when it comes will be similar if not higher...
If someone considers it, think carefully.

[sinanspd]

Yes that is true for US. I believe they charge immediately in the EU. Frankly, I am not sure which one is worse. I don't see this being released before late 2022 - early 2023, so you might forget about it and all of a sudden see the 4K charge :D

Anyway, if you go back to the facebook post for the deluxe edition and scroll down a little bit, P1 addressed the situation and said that the statue will be available through multiple retailers around the world, just not P1 webstore, which is interesting...

I sure hope this lands on Sideshow, between the payment plan and the reward codes I have, I might be able to make it less brutal for my wallet :P

NieR statue up for preorder on Square Enix Store. Unfortunately they are charging at the time of the order and it not cancellable. So if you are going to order to make sure you think it through. Deluxe edition comes to 3509$ with shipping and tax. Which sucks because as of now, the estimated delivery is February 2022, which I am willing to bet money will eventually be delayed

I have spoken to Sideshow and unfortunately it looks like they won't be getting it unless a miracle happens.

In case of Nier, it is available through other retailers. (Not just Square Enix themselfes)
Bigbangtoystore apparently has it as well. (With payment plan)

Ghost of Tsushima shouldn't be exclusive either. Only the version with the little GoT-Logo standee. And I wouldn't even buy that personally. I think the statue doesn't need that logo standee at all.

Last time I purchased any thing from BBTS, the statue arrived with chipped paint in one very visible spot and they shamelessly recommended that I get a black marker and fill it in so... I am waiting to see if anybody else lists it :D

As for Ghost, is it only the stand that is exclusive or the full EX version? Because the extra portrait is quite nice.

As for the logo stand, I don't have strong opinions about it but if I am paying the same price, I might as well get more out of it. So I don't mind it :P

Can't personally speak for BBTS, never bought for them. But I'm sure there are more stores out there getting it. Hopefully you find a good one.

About GoT Statue: (I'll post it generally in case someone else is confused or something)
There are 2 versions. Standard and Deluxe. The deluxe comes with the extra unmasked head and the arm holding the mask.
Only if you order through Prime 1 themselves you get the logo standee as a bonus. It's certainly nice to have, since you don't pay extra for it, but keep shipping prices in mind.
You may very well get the statue 100-300$ cheaper if you buy locally. So it's something to consider. Nothing against ordering form P1 though. :)

Edit: Facebook just placed an ad under my nose about specfiction selling the nier dio. Haven't bought from them either, but all I hear about this store is praising. Especially about it's owner.
Maybe that's a good option?

Cool, thanks! Pretty amazing statue for the price as well (though it is very small... but looks like crazy good detail for its size if they can hold true to the prototype).

So the exclusive is only available on Sideshow?

Seems to be the case. I am a little bit skeptical as well. I am curious how they are going to achieve that much detail at this size with Polystone since it is hard to shape but I think it's worth the risk given the price aint bad

Agreed. I also think $50 for just an extra head is a bit much ($30 max I would think, it is like 10% but for another 50% and no limited nature added to it).

EDIT:

After looking it over and some quick rough math Jin would only be 6" tall or so. Well fingers crossed. Also if anyone is ordering sign up for the newsletter thing in the homepage and you'll get a $15 off coupon (I had signed up in the past and still got a new code...though to be fair this was my first time using it).

If you order from sideshow you also get 5% back in store credit. They also roughly give 150$ in free store credit through their social channels through out the year. If you have the dedication to follow that, those things add up pretty quick. I have seen people get free Prime 1 statues with the points they collected. I managed to collect 100$ this year without making a single purchase (let alone the 4 free hot toys I won from them). Getting Jin through SS will get you 12-13$ in store credit, which is a fair deal IMO

Interesting, how to do get those free credits exactly? Like what is given and how on their social channels?

[sinanspd]

Interesting, how to do get those free credits exactly? Like what is given and how on their social channels?

There are a few ways to get "reward points" (every 20 points = 1$).

1) Buy something from Sideshow, 5% is applied to your account automatically after 30 days (after the return period ends) which you can use towards any purchase (no limits, includes things that are already discounted)

2) Follow their socials during their monthly events. Big ones are Spooktacular (October), GeeksGiving (November), 24 days of Sideshow (December), SDCC celebration (July). This month's event is court of the dead day. (No purchase necessary, you just need a sideshow account)

3) Referrals

During these events they either drop a code on their social media or during one of their live streams (on youtube, instagram and facebook). Here is an example from last October: https://twitter.com/collectsideshow/status/1057754355158446080

As you can see, they aren't hidden in anyway. Pretty obvious. All you need to do is enter that code to side.show/code. These codes are usually 2-5$ and are applied to your account immediately. They usually limit these codes to first 2000 people, so you need to be one of the first two thousand to enter it to your account. This may look like a tiny amount but bear with me. Once or twice per event their head of marketing drops by the live streams and hides a 100$ code in there in the form of a puzzle (for example he is wearing a shirt with a show/game logo and you need to enter the name of the show/game in the same link as above). 100$ codes are limited to the first 3-5 people that solve the puzzle.


The cool thing about these reward codes is that they don't expire for 2 years and can be used on any item even if it is highly discounted, in pre order or even low on stock. There are only 2 restrictions 1) you can't use the reward points towards tax & shipping. 2) The total of your cart needs to be more than 50$. So even though 2$ might seem low, they add up quickly over 2 years. They drop on average 50$ worth of codes during the major events I mentioned above. For example this years Spooktacular they gave 70$ worth of codes and 50$ during Geeksgiving. So if you followed their social October-November, you got 120$ free credits.


As for the free stuff:

1) During the events mentioned above they have, on average of 20-25 gleam giveaways. The items they give range from 90-800$ in value. These giveaways usually last 30 minutes, sometimes a day (unlike pure arts where giveaways last 6 months to a year), so you learn if you won pretty quickly.

2) They have these 100% promo hunts, they go live on their socials, give you a code to crack. The first 3-5 people to crack the code and enter it to the link above, gets the item for free (you just need to pay shipping). These range from 150-800$ in value. This may seem difficult but it isn't. I have never seen these challenges take more than 30 minutes (aka 3-5 people claim them within 30 minutes usually)

That's over a 100 chances every year. As I said, I won 4 things last years, 1348$ in retail value. The odds are high.

Here is one of the 100% promo challenges I solved last year. There was also a free shipping offer on the item so it came to 0$

Edit: I forgot to mention. Every time you buy an item, you get 25$ to spend on sideshow.com, but that expires within a month usually.

Thanks for looking out! I appreciate it :)

Is there an events page I can watch or just need to watch the main page?

The thing is I have entered some of those contests in the past and never won. I entered just in case I might win but I stopped after a while as again I just never won anything and I figured the odds must be fairly low. RNG can be finicky too so that might be why I never won.

Unfortunately there isn't a list. They are announced fairly last minute. For what comes after this, we just know there is a Captain America day in March and Deadpool day in April.

They have rules like "if you won in one of the past two events you can't win again" so that balances the odds a little bit. There will be random reward code drops on Friday as well as multiple giveaways.

For 100% promos you just need to be fast or know really good math to increase your odds

I hope it doesn't go against the rules since I am not affiliated with these people at all but I have created a thread to track these events

Weta 1/4 Lara Croft Statue. Slightly over priced in my opinion but a very beautiful piece. Unfortunately it will be very difficult to display. I find the pose rather risky and easy to break.

Open to preorders through BBTS and a few other retailers. (Sitting at 1500$)

Cool concept. My biggest concern would be the leaning that will come over the years. (Unless lara is made out of some ultra light weight material, which would probably look rather cheap)

[L1Slayer]

Has been up for a while now, but maybe someone didn't notice.
Cool piece, but not cheap. ES seems to be open.

Yea very disappointed with how they turned out. Might skip on these but Iron Studios also revealed the Twisted Metal statue. This looks really cool and I'm curious to see if they will make other characters or if this is one-off?

Ok so some good news from P1. The Uncharted statue, designed by ND's very own Joshua Bradley, looks amazing. I would say top in 3 video game statues Prime 1 Released. We are also getting an amazing RE3 statue.

https://i.ibb.co/2SMhKy4/FREwz-V9a-MAA0-Fmh.jpg

Now for the crazy news. The price for FF6 statue has been revealed and it is..... drum rolll ..... 12 THOUSAND FREAKING DOLLARS. Square Enix absolutely went insane. This is mental
