ESC Toys has informed me that there will be a Silver Drake Vinyl Figure released sometime in April. The Gold variant was limited to 11 and sealed, so this one will be similar.

Here are all the ones that came out so far, from my collection:

They still have some of the Drake Vinyl Figures left for sale: http://esctoy.limitedpressing.com/product/categories/1190

You bet I will be on my computer on that day, refreshing all day =)

The Gold Drake cost $250, I am assuming this one will be similar.

$250 ouch, now I see why limited to so few units.

Good luck, you are going to need it jug.

Oh man, these are awesome, pity I won't have $250 to spare in April for one of these!

Were all of the ones in your collection limited to 11 and $250 each Timon? xx

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 04:24 PM
Haha, only the gold ones are $250. I wish I was that rich =P

The others were $50 each, plus shipping of course. The others are still in stock.

The Red and Blue one is limited to 500 and 100 respectively, and the OG one isn't limited to anything, so they restock once in awhile.

Awesome, wish I had all the money in the world :rotf:

Will these ones definitely be as rare/expensive as the gold ones or is that just an estimate? xx

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 04:36 PM
Here is what I was told:

"Around the same size run as the GOLD. Hand painted limited run."

As for the price, that was my guess. But most of their very limited runs are around $200-$250.

:drool: WHY I HAVE NO MONEY!? :rotf:

Ah well, at least one (maybe two?) will no doubt end up in your collection for me to drool over anyway :) xx

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 05:24 PM
haha, i will only be getting 1 this time

i hope they do not make anymore after this =/ no more room

'Some time in april' is vague to say the least - howfar in advance do they tell you

Also on their website they say the blue drake is limited to 100 did they change this from 500?

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 06:51 PM
Ah, it is probably just 100 then, and I made the mistake =)

I will probably know the day before? lol

03-07-2012, 08:05 PM
They'll restock the original color on April
Good :D because the other two color is just look too stupid.

but I mean $250...what's make of that? a real gold?
I'm glad I'm not that dedicate to uncharted anymore.

sleepwalker
03-07-2012, 08:07 PM
They gonna make them in all the RGB palette from #000000 to #FFFFFF, just to charge money from jugolicious for each color.

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 08:09 PM
bbki, they still restock the OG colour about once a week or twice, not much though.

They charge $250, because they can =( With people like me out there, it will sell out quick.

sirren, I hope not =P

bbki
03-07-2012, 08:15 PM
Yeah
I hope they not come up with variant like rainbow color and shit after silver one.

jugolicious
03-07-2012, 08:18 PM
The worst one they can do is bronze next haha =/

I was already a little disappointed that there is a silver. I don't even like it too much, but I would regret it if I didn't get it, for the sake of completeness.....damn being a collector is hard =/ lol

I am a huge Uncharted fan, but I wont spend on these vinyls anymore. I got 2 othe them and thats it. They are pretty ordinary and do not justify the price tag. Its a total ripoff and misusing the Uncharted brand in my opinion. I would instead put my money in getting DF press kit or Folio. ESC will keep coming up with 100 other version of these vinyls as exhorbitant prices. Isnt worth it even for completion of collection.

Anything official with the Uncharted brand trust Timon to get his hands on it :)

04-10-2012, 10:38 PM
I just won that one for a very good price. $178usd and $41usd in shipping. The total with shipping came out cheaper then when it was released. So I don't know if I got people sleeping on this, or if people don't really care about this that much, or if it's not as valuable. Either way I am really excited.

jugolicious
04-10-2012, 10:44 PM
Congrats Rob, that is a very good price!

I think with a product like this, selling it with an auction style is a big NO. It is an incredibly niche collectors piece, and needs to be sold with patience. On Ebay, it would've been best if the seller set it at BIN or best offer. This goes to say for a lot of other products too that are not too popular, such as VGA graded games (unless if it is something like Earthbound or Stadium Events of course). I have seen some auction style listings sell at very low prices for these reasons.

Robalvarez2010
04-10-2012, 10:48 PM
Thanks. Yeah I agree with you. I think it would have been best for him to put a buy it now or best offer option. Also I think he should have waited to at least the end of the year more towards the holiday to sell. I personally believe this will only go up in value as time goes by. But honestly I am really excited to get this one. Now all I have to do is try to get the silver one.

jugolicious
04-10-2012, 10:50 PM
The seller was most likely in a rush to sell it, since he/she kept lowering the price.

The Silver one would be nice. But, the thing that troubles me is that it will not be the last one =/ There will be a couple more, and most likely more expensive.

Robalvarez2010
04-10-2012, 10:53 PM
Yeah I know. Since they sell well they will just keep on producing them. At least the silver one is only limited to 15pcs. So it's basically almost the same as the gold one.

jugolicious
04-10-2012, 10:55 PM
I'll let you know right now what they are planning, and it kind of disturbs me haha =/

They are planning to release some unique design ones limited to 1 piece! I can't imagine how much that would cost, or if I miss it....

It says on the product page for the silver Drake, that it's limited to 5pcs worldwide...? :think:

jugolicious
04-10-2012, 11:04 PM
Wow, you are right cosmic.

They also tweeted the Silver Drakes has been changed to a lower count.

Wow, only 5 made...I wonder how much this will cost now....

Quite disappointed that the "silver" one is more rare than the "gold" one =/

So it's definitely 5 then? Looks like you're gonna have to be extra quick Jugo... :S

How much did you shell out for the gold ones? Makes you wonder why they decided silver should be more limited than gold! :haha:

jugolicious
04-10-2012, 11:09 PM
It is definitely limited to 5 now...

The Gold Drakes were $250 plus shipping. Technically, I paid a little more than $300 each since I got massive duties too haha.

The edition size is actually up to Sony...not very happy with this outcome :banghead:

04-10-2012, 11:10 PM
Maybe they'll call it "Platinum" rather than Silver now? xx

jugolicious

haha, it is still called Silver =)

Robalvarez2010
04-10-2012, 11:20 PM
Wow so I got to try and jump on this quick. They first said 15 now 5. The only way I won't purchase it is if it's $400-$500. I what time and day do they put it up for sale?

Robalvarez2010
04-10-2012, 11:24 PM
K forget my question. I just saw when its going to be released.

jugolicious
04-11-2012, 12:09 AM
hmmm....so the reason for the low quantity:

@ESCtoy How come the edition size for the Silver Drake lowered to such a low quantity? =O

@TimonW The remaining 5pcs were left after the others were damaged by customs.

Really sucks lol

It says under the picture on twitter "R.I.P 6 Vinyl Drakes who didn't make it (http://twitter.com/#!/ESCtoy/status/189734623943725056/photo/1)"...

Soooooooo... Where are the other 4 if 15 were originally planned...?

Edit - Nevermind, that wasn't posted by ESC! lol Will leave the comment above so everybody can see me looking stupid! :P

Maybe he assumed that the silver one was originally limited to 11 (like the Gold one) ? xx

Robalvarez2010
04-11-2012, 08:37 PM
Well I just spoke to the man himself Eric Scarecrow by phone and he told me that it was originally 15pcs but that they had to bring it down to 5pcs, he wouldnt explain why. He said that originally it was supposed to be less expensive then the gold one but now due to the fact that it's only 5pcs, it will be more expensive then the gold one. He did not give me a price, he told me that pricing should be up either later on today if not tomorrow.

Honestly what I hate is that the only difference is the color nothing else. They could at least make them in a different pose or something.

That was my gripe with the Zelda statues on the first4figures site... >.< The green, red and Blue Tunic Link's were all exactly the same besides the colour of the tunic. They could've atleast dones something different with the base. it just seems like a half arsed way to make extra money from the fans.

I know they're only thumbs, but I didn't wanna fill an uncharted thread with Zelda pics. You can see though that the pose is the same and the base has the same stump and such... -_-The price was alright for the links though in comparison to these... :S

Robalvarez2010
04-11-2012, 10:28 PM
Hey they just put up the gold drake figure again. So that means they are making more the 11 is going to be 22 in total

Robalvarez2010
04-11-2012, 10:30 PM
I know what you mean. They know they are going to sell no matter what so they don't care of changing anything to them.

Cosmic_Link
04-11-2012, 10:39 PM
The Gold drakes ar Artist proofs, but still that's well shit! It really pisses me off when companies increase Edition sizes too...

Because they are selling these "Artist proofs" they've effectively doubled the edition size! Bullshit man... -_- I'm not buying these anyway, because they're too rich for my blood, but this is a perfect example of manufacturers and/or retailers being greedy assholes! >.<

Robalvarez2010
04-11-2012, 10:44 PM
Yeah that's just like the Mario 25th anniversary game. It was only being produced during December and when they saw that it was in high demand they ended up making more copies.

Cosmic_Link
04-11-2012, 10:49 PM
First4Figures have done it again for the new Link On Epona figure. They were taking pre-order of it as a 1,500pc edition and they've upped it to 2,500 due to high demand... -_- Bullshit! if people really wanted it then they should have pre-ordered it early! That's the rules!!

Somebody should take a stand! XD

I am curious with the new gold ones how are they going to number those because there are already 11 of them out there

I doubt they will be numbered tbh!

I was originally supposed to buy the silver one that was for $400. I did not think I will actually have a chance to get the other one and when I saw I actually was able to get it, I took advantage and bought it. It is limited to only 1 in the world with no artist proof. So thats why she is mad at me for spending $1500 on what she calls it an action figure lol

Robalvarez2010
04-13-2012, 05:17 PM

That's very cool. I'm a little bit jealous here. I saw the price tag and I was like, holy.... :nosleep:

It was available still so I added to my cart for fun. Then I had this wild idea so I sent ESCtoys an email asking them if I could do a payment plan with them and send them payments on it since at this time $1500 is just too much money for me.

I knew I wouldn't get their email in time and after 8 or so minutes after my email, and having the vinyl resting in my cart, it finally said "sold out"

Sad but happy your excited for it! :hug:

Things like this makes me think about scammers abusing the "collector's mentality" but sometimes the abuse is too high for my taste, I mean, you see something like the A3's Metal Gear rex selling for $490, and this... simple figure selling for $1500, what's the value, limited to 1 worldwide? I... I really don't know.

I don't see the difference between that and telling nolan north to take a shit on a tupperware and sell it for $10,000 "Nolan's shit in box, limited to 1 shit worldwide **Ultra Rare**" :shrug::shrug:

Robalvarez2010
04-14-2012, 12:17 AM
To chargersfan, I first had it in my checkout cart when it was released and when I was getting ready to pay for it by paypal my computer froze, so I honestly thought I lost it. Thats probably the time you were able to get it, and then I went got my phone and was able to obtain it again.

And to madigan I understand what you mean. When I first saw the price tag I was like shit, but I knew I had to have it. They know they could put what ever price tag that they want and it will sell. I honestly thought that I was not going to be able to get it because there were so many people that wanted it especially from Naughty Dog. I spoke to my contact from Naughty Dog and I had told him what I purshased and he told me that Evan Wells told everyone to try to get this so they could be able to display it since its the only one. So I feel extremely lucky to have this.

To chargersfan, I first had it in my checkout cart when it was released and when I was getting ready to pay for it by paypal my computer froze, so I honestly thought I lost it. Thats probably the time you were able to get it, and then I went got my phone and was able to obtain it again.



That's cool. Just have to remind myself that I can't have everything and to be happy that others get to enjoy things as well.

Although honestly I wish I had never seen it available to begin with you know. It would have been fine had it gone so quick that I never saw it. But when you have the time to add it to your cart, and then more than enough time to make the purchase, as it was in my case, it's kind of like winning the lotto!

Others had to have seen it available too though so I don't know... It was better when it wasn't a possibility but then it turned out to be a big possibility which is a drag but that's fine.

So here's to you. :notworthy:

If, in 10 years, you do decide that you can't stand the look of it anymore, then think of me LOL.

I'm kind of brain dead when it comes to Uncharted collectibles and I have spent approximately over $4,500 on my Uncharted collection. So it would be going to a good home here...

Ashamed to admit that really! HAHA

Seriously enjoy it Rob!

Hey thanks again man. I feel the same way you do. I wish I would have never known about this. I told Jugo that this is all his fault because I would have never known about these drake vinyl figures if he would have never mentioned theme lol. I think the silver one is still available and that is also a rare one to have. I was thinking on getting it but its just going to be too much money over all, but then I know myself that I will want it later on and then I will hhhave to pay the crazy price from ebay. But dont worry if I dont want it anymore I will make sure to give you a very good deal on it. I will sell it to you for only $700,000,000,000,000 lol jk

noah

Robalvarez2010
04-16-2012, 09:14 PM
I will let you pay me half now and the rest in payments lol. I just found out that they shipped out the figure today and should recieve it within 2 days, but I dont understand why didnt they ship out the artwork at the same time. They told me that the artwork will be shipped out tomorrow.

Chargersfan57
04-16-2012, 11:34 PM
Your too generous Rob. Lol. It's too bad you have to wait longer for the artwork, but it can't be too far behind.

I wonder if it's artwork of the figure...

Robalvarez2010
04-17-2012, 12:01 AM
All they told me is that it's a 1 of 1 painted artwork of uncharted measuring 20*30.

Robalvarez2010
04-17-2012, 12:03 AM
Eric scarecrow told me that you are going to love it. That everyone in the office was telling him just to hang it up in the office. He told me wait to you see the figure in person. That pictures don't do it justice.

I honestly dont understand women. My wife was first bitching at me for spending $1,500 on the drake vinyl. But then now she shows me an invoice from her email that she bought me the silver one and the limo one as well She even got me tickets for this thursday to see the heat play the bulls. All this is for my birthday. So I dont know if she was just pretending so she could just surprise me later.

04-17-2012, 11:38 PM
I hope that was a joke charger lol. Well we turn together 13 years together in july. She was my high school sweet heart. I love her not for buying me things but for just being very understanding with my collection. Yeah she gets mad everyonce in a while. Thats why I made a game room in my house because before I use to have my collection in are master bedroom and I will be playing games until 3-4 in the morning and she will just look at me with a face. But now since I have the game room everything has been much peaceful. I even put a bed in the game room for if she ever kicks me out of our room lol. But I still love her.

Chargersfan57
04-17-2012, 11:45 PM
Lol, I try to be funny from time to time. That's a very cool story. My grandparents were High School sweet hearts as well.

Hopefully my future wife will have an understanding for my toy/game/uncharted room as well.

I guess that's not so bad if she kicks you out then huh? Much better than getting stuck in the "dog house"...

Cosmic_Link
04-17-2012, 11:48 PM
Awww, ain't that sweet! :D Don't often hear things like that anymore! It's nice! ^o^

I'm worried about how things might be when I eventually get a place with my GF! lol She's understanding of my Collection when she doesn't have to live with it everyday, but we'll see how that changes when she does! XD She does keep hinting about wanting to take certain items home with her though, so hopefully she'll be fine! :D

Your wife sounds cool. :D Sounds a lot like my GF. It's great having an awesome woman in your life! ^o^

Robalvarez2010
04-18-2012, 08:26 PM
Well I just got some info. They are bringing back the limo drake figure. They only sold half of it and then they are going to sell the rest later on. They are also going to bring out a copper one in the next 3 months and are also going to bring out a comic con exclusive at the comic con show in new york this october. You know I will be at the comic con show to pick it up. Also they are going to stop making the uncharted figures by december of this year the latest january due to contract they have with Naughty Dog. So they will not make anymore uncharted figure after this year.

jugolicious
04-18-2012, 08:29 PM
That is way too many haha.

Good thing I stopped at Gold!

Robalvarez2010
04-18-2012, 08:35 PM
Yeah I know, but look at the bright side. After this year they wont make anymore lol, and if you look ata it they release a new one every 2-3 months. So you are looking at maybe 3 or 4 more. Unless they do the same thing they did this month with releasing 4 of them ata the same time.

jugolicious
04-18-2012, 08:40 PM
They were supposed to make some for Uncharted 2, but that cancelled for some reason =S

So, maybe they will have some for Uncharted 4 =/

Robalvarez2010
04-18-2012, 08:46 PM
Maybe, we will just have to wait and see. He did not tell me how many there will be of the copper one or the comic con exclusive. The one I am really interested in is the comic con one. I am curious to see how it looks but you could only obtain it at the show thats why I said That I am going.

Chargersfan57
04-18-2012, 10:53 PM
That's too bad. I was hoping they would continue making them so that I could add more to the collection. As it stands, after this month, I will only have the OG, ND, and blue ones. I would love to have a special edition one.

I passed on the silver, and I literally have no interest in the limon one or the copper one. (I don't like the limon color at all) but I'm very intrigued about the Comic Con EX.

Living out in California will make it impossible for me to attend the Con... I might have to find a way to get one regardless...

Chargersfan57
04-18-2012, 11:25 PM
Hey Rob, I was just checking out your profile and your introduction thread and I've got to say it's quite ironic because I'm a 28 year old currently trying to get a job out here in Cali as a firefighter!

I saw your page and was like, wow, he's a firefighter and likes collecting Uncharted... that sounds like me! And then checked your thread and I saw you were my age....

.... Spooky...

Robalvarez2010
04-18-2012, 11:55 PM
Yeah I am deffinately going to comic con to pick that one up, god willing of course. Thats cool that you want to be a firefighter. I was first in the Navy as a Navy seal, and got discharged for getting shot at my foot. Then went into S.W.A.T, and now I am a firefighter because I love there schedule. I am 24 on and 72 off. IT use to be 24 on and 48 off but I transfered to boca raton because they get paid the same amount around my area and work less days.

Chargersfan57
04-19-2012, 08:49 AM
I had looked into getting into S.W.A.T as well. I had wanted to be a cop since I was little but I decided I would rather be apart of a specialized group such as S.W.A.T.

I eventually set my sights on Firefighting during my senior year of High School, and it's taken me this long to take it seriously. But I'm full steam ahead now.

Robalvarez2010
04-19-2012, 05:07 PM
Honestly I think you should for a firefighter because they work less hours, get paid more, risk there lives less, and get more respect, because cops give themselves a bad rap. At least no one likes the cops over here in florida because they take advantage of there job. I honestly am one of the ones that dont have respect for them.

Robalvarez2010

Personally, no. Just buy a custom case to keep it in good shape. (http://www.cgagrading.com/OnlineStore/CustomCase.aspx)

This is limited to 1 worldwide, there's no other option on ebay lol. You have total power over the resale value for example.

Likey
04-23-2012, 04:45 PM
So they'll have to open it up and then reseal it in a VGA case?

I'm assuming this adds more value to the item.

Also, how much does it cost to VGA something?

I will do it but you guys have to give me an extra $2000usd on the side lol. But really it all depends how many they are making of those and if you could by more then one because you know how some company are that they only limit one per customer and of course price. How much will you guys be willing to spend because pricing is not yet available for this one yet.

05-06-2012, 03:41 PM
seeming how they priced some of their other limited ones i would say $350 as a maximum on the figure alone.

Not sure if you noticed this, but they put up another Silver Drake on the site. They listed it at "Silver Drake-AP-LAST ONE!" http://esctoy.limitedpressing.com/products/16994

I'd buy it, but since there is no chance of collecting all of them (Rob's hording all the 1 of 1's lol!) thought one of you might want to go after it.

Robalvarez2010

I'm a firm believer with things like this that they should stay together in one collection. If there is no possibility of completing a "set" there is no place for it in my collection — that's just my inner completionist talking — but I like to at least see the complete set come together for someone.

I think your collection is amazing. Considering the items you currently own, it would be a shame if you weren't the owner of all of the 1 of 1's, and at least 1 of the limited editions of 5 or 11 or whatever they happen to be.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 08:51 PM
I paid $1500 for the one I purchased. I am guessing that the new one will be in that same price range, and I thought you were asking me
How much I will sell mine. I'f that's the case I won't sell it. I love my uncharted collection way too much.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 08:53 PM
I think the same way as you do toxic. If I can't get them all I won't even bother because my collection won't be complete. But still if you could get them I recommend you to go for it because they are very nice looking. I see them more as a work of art then a figure. I know my wife loves them.

I own the Blue, OG, and Colorway, but I don't really buy many figures tbh. The only times I buy them are when they come with dlc (hence the Blue, OG, and Colorway) or if I'm totally in love with them. I think these are really cool, but since I can't own them all, they don't come with dlc, and I'm not totally in love with them, I'm not going any further with them (unless they come out with another that includes dlc!).

I want the Blue, OG, and Colorway set but delivery was a joke.

Does anyone have a spare set in the UK up for sale?

Yeah, that delivery charge did seem incredibly high. Still these are much larger than I would have anticipated, so no idea what they might actually cost to ship to the UK. Just wanted to mention that when I received mine, they refunded some of the shipping cost to me (totally on their own too, which was a very pleasant surprise). I don't know if it just cost less than they originally charged me or if it was because I bought 3 at one time.

But shipping is not expensive to ship to the united states. It only cost me $1 for shipping. Out of state I have no idea to be honest.

I am curious now. Why did you have to tell me something. My bank can't take it anymore. Now in August esc is releasing 3 drake figure. So that's more money that I have to spend. Well not that I have too but that I want too.

What are the 3 coming out in August?

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 11:44 PM
There are all bunch of them that are coming out from esc still. I know he is releasing a 1 of 1, one called the magenta and another one that I dont know the name yet, and I am the type that has to get them all of course once again god willing.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 11:46 PM
The 1 of 1 is going to be $1500, the magenta if I am not mistaken is going to be $250, as well as the other one. Then in September or October don't know which month yet he is going to release another 1 of 1, the comic con one, and another one that I don't know the name either.

Wow. Seems like you should be able to contact the dude and tell him you are the only person buying all of his 1 of 1's. If he's going to sell them for a fixed price might as well just sell to you directly.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 11:52 PM
He won't do that. Since so many people are trying to get them, especially naughty dog. The guy I know from naughty dog told me that they are trying to get the 1 of 1. But also remember the 1 of 1 is not just the figure, you are also paying for a 1 of 1 giclee art print.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 11:53 PM
The art print is very nice. It measures 20*30.

Robalvarez2010
07-16-2012, 11:56 PM
He told me that the white one is exclusive to a website that he is going to post on twitter when it's getting ready for release.

Robalvarez2010
07-17-2012, 12:00 AM
Thanks toxic. I Need all the luck I can get. I still can't believe that I was able to get the 1 of 1 I have. My intentions are not to sell these. I just love to collect uncharted items, and how many people can say they own something that there is only 1 in the world. Out of how many people 10,000,000,000,000,000 only 1 person owns it. I will try to find the URL of the website I saw of the rarest uncharted item in the world and this one is # 1

Ugh. It sucks hearing that there are going to be more 1/1's coming really soon. I literally have NO money ATM. Just came back from vacation and have to catch up with bills and such...

It really sucks to have paid in the ballpark of $4600 for my Uncharted collection, and not even be able to buy a $1500 piece!!! :(

Robalvarez2010
07-17-2012, 11:12 PM
It happens chargerfan. I hope I am able to get it but I am not to sure with my wife getting laid off and with 3 kids and bills it wont be easy. My wife supports me collecting and she knows how much I love the esc uncharted drake figures. So I just have to wait and see what happens.

And wow...
Another 1/1 Desert Mirage Drake...really?
He must think
Well...The $400 silver one still not selling and I kinda low on cash right now better put another 1/1 shitty color and call it "Desert Mirage Drake". Also I should throw in so called "special 20 x 30 print" ....That'll work.

I gotta say I used to hate this guy mustache but right now I completely hate him as a whole human being.

If you want it? there you go

Robalvarez2010
07-29-2012, 08:02 PM
I honestly am going to try to get it. For one I love uncharted, it's limited to 1of1 and I love Eric's art work. I am going to try and purchase all the ones he releases.

MortalMonday
07-30-2012, 03:00 AM
Eh, these things were kind of neat when they released the first handful of colors. Now they're just meh.

Robalvarez2010
07-30-2012, 04:56 AM
I love them. I dont care if he releases them in every color that there is, I will still get them. I even told him to make me a custom 4 feet one since I saw that he made 4 feet ones of another figure that he sold in Tokyo.

NaughtyDogJames
07-30-2012, 09:20 AM
I really want the white one, hope it's not too limited and therefore expensive.

I thought they were gonna sell the white one as well - but in the Merch Dogcast they said they were gonna have developers sign it and then auction it off. Maybe that's just in addition?

Robalvarez2010
07-30-2012, 07:16 PM
No the white one is not for auction. He made it for another company that they are going to sell it themselves. I don't remember off the top of my head how many there will be, but I do know that they will be very limited.

NaughtyDogJames
07-30-2012, 10:21 PM
Boo :(, it would go well in with my black/white contrast theme but I'm not paying too much for it especially as if it were too limited then I wouldn't want to open it.

Robalvarez2010
07-30-2012, 11:11 PM
I think it will be around $250 just like the comic con exclusive.

Robalvarez2010
08-16-2012, 09:31 PM
Well they just showed the new desert drake vinyl figure at esc tweet and I just have to say that it's really bad ass. I will try my best to get it, it gets released tomorrow at 11am. I think the price it's going to be the same as the one that I paid for that was limited to 1 of 1 worldwide as well and it set me back $1,500.

NaughtyDogJames
08-16-2012, 09:35 PM
Hope you get it :)

Robalvarez2010
08-16-2012, 09:37 PM
Thanks man, I hope so too because it would suck to not be able to get them all. Thanks once again.

NaughtyDogJames
08-16-2012, 09:41 PM
Yeah they should all stay together in one collection I think.

Robalvarez2010
08-16-2012, 09:46 PM
Yeah I know. I think it will be pretty hard to do because he is going to release another 2 or 3 limited 1 worldwide. Let's see, god willing I will be able to get them all.

Robalvarez2010
08-17-2012, 06:15 PM
Well I am super excited. I was able to get the desert mirage drake figure. I can't wait to recieve it. I will post up pictures as soon as I get it.

NaughtyDogJames
08-17-2012, 06:22 PM
Awesome :)!!! Are you getting a 4ft tall one?

Robalvarez2010
08-17-2012, 07:37 PM
I told him to make me a 4foot one since he made some other characters that were 4 feet and he told me that he would see. The one I just purchased is 7 inches. When I get it I will take pictures and it also comes with a 20*30 giclee art print.

NaughtyDogJames
08-17-2012, 07:49 PM
A 4 ft one would be awesome. What design would he make? A new design or am existing one?

CollectingCanuck
08-17-2012, 07:51 PM
Congratulations on your purchase! I read about this item on a game blog and really wanted to order it but it was already gone by 11:30 when i got a chance to log on.

How much did it end up costing if you don't mind my asking?

Robalvarez2010
08-17-2012, 09:23 PM
Titchy I don't know what design he will use for the drake, it would be cool to use a new design but either way I would love it to be the same design he has been using. It would just be cool to have a 4ft drake figure.

Collectingcanuck it cost me the same as I paid for the other 1of1 drake figure that I got back in April. It was $1,500, I honestly don't mind paying it because I love Eric's work and its the only one in the world, plus it also comes with a 1of1 giclee artwork.

NaughtyDogJames

Robalvarez2010
08-18-2012, 02:55 AM
Thanks man. Trust me I was not the only one trying to get it. On twitter I talk to some of the people that were trying to get it and my contact from naughty dog told me that there were a couple of employees that were trying to get it as well. I guess I just pretty much get lucky and I also have my computer and internet to work super fast lol.

Robalvarez2010
09-05-2012, 07:10 AM
Well I will be taking pictures of my new drake figures this week and of the art work as well.

NaughtyDogJames
09-29-2012, 09:49 PM
I presume you got an unearthed copper one?

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 05:47 AM
Yes and I also got the new desert mirage drake with the 20*30 giclee art print that came with it. They are both limited to 1of1 in the world just like my neo Tokyo drake figure. I will post up pictures no later then Monday.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 05:50 AM
So far I am up to date. I have gotten every single one that he has released and I am even going to comic con in new York to pick up the comic con exclusives. One of them is the shadow drake limited to 15, and the other one is the Japan 002 proto limited to only 3.

NaughtyDogJames
09-30-2012, 07:07 AM
So how many have you got now? Hope you get the ones at comic con.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 07:58 AM
So far I have 9 esc drake figures. They are all the ones that he released. Well I am going to go very early to comic con and go directly to his booth to be able to buy both of them. The shadow drake is $250 and the Japan 002 is $500.

NaughtyDogJames
09-30-2012, 09:22 AM
I presume that you leave these sealed? I'd love two of the white ones but $500 minimum (not sure in how much they are) is too muc but if I did I'd unseal them.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 04:51 PM
Yes I keep them all sealed. The white one is not going to be released by him personally, it is going to be realeased by another website. From October to December he is going to release an estimate of 12-15 different drake figures from what he told me. He is going to release some really special editions in December.

NaughtyDogJames
09-30-2012, 05:24 PM
Surely you've tempted to open them? Eek that's a lot. He is milking them abit.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 05:32 PM
I have wanted to open them to have them all displayed differently, but decided to keep them sealed. Well his contract with sony to make these figures ends on march, so he won't be making anymore of these. He told me that he might start making the last of us figures next year but that he is not sure yet.

NaughtyDogJames
09-30-2012, 06:09 PM
Hmmm I'm not sure I want him to, I'd be really tempted to buy some them but I reckon they'll be highly limited ones so will cost a fortune.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 07:14 PM
I don't know what to tell you based on price and how limited it will be. I personally don't want him to make them because if he does I will have to stand in a corner to sell my a** to be able to get them all.

Madigan
09-30-2012, 07:27 PM
Did you ask him why the 1 of 1 editions cost $1,500 and the regulars $50? Does he have a good reason for this or he's just being greedy?

NaughtyDogJames
09-30-2012, 07:51 PM
Well the one of one can with the art print and he had to make a design and then only use it once but a large amount of it is greed I reckon.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 09:07 PM
Madigan: the 1of1 are $1500 because one there is only one in the world with no artist proof, not him nor naughty dog has one. He just made that art design from the top of his head and put it for sale so there is no other one like it and also it comes with a 1of1 20*30 giclee art print with no artist proof as well. He also knows that he could mark it up any price he wants and it would sell. If not by me by someone else, and the ones that cost $50 have a bigger production line. The scarecrow blue is 100pcs, the naughty dog is 500pcs, and the og version there is no known production #for that one. He prices them by how limited they are. Usually the ones that are limited to 15pcs go for $250 and 5pcs go for $400 and the 3pcs goes for $500, and he also sees how the uncharted franchise is at the moment that everyone is spending crazy amout of money on anything that has to do with uncharted.

Robalvarez2010
09-30-2012, 09:16 PM
Like for good example, he has a figure on his website don't know the name of the figure right at this moment but it's limited to only 1of1 worldwide and is only for $500 and it has not sold yet. It all depends how popular and how high in demand the item is. I saw a couple of emails that he showed me of people that wanted the 1of1 drake figures and some of those individuals were from naughty dog. But since it's limited to only 1 he won't be able to produce anymore of them because he will have a lawsuit in his hands.

mosavon
10-01-2012, 07:35 AM
Yes but what madigan is saying is basically what you just said yourself, people are spending crazy money and its an in demand franchise....so he is of course just milking this to the max, how many more of these can he make? i don't know i just think its getting silly with these to be honest.

Not trying to take what you feel about them away from you Rob, not at all but yeah i just don't get it really.
