thats what im saying as a video game statue collector. like i said, it doesnt count for ME, but im sure it will count for real Assassins Creed fans...
Well I think the artist proof probably counts for (as you stated) real AC fans and real Statue collectors.

I completely understand how it doesn't count for you as a "holy grail" or "personal best" but just because we don't like something, it doesn't take away from how rare it is.

I also think by you saying it's "just unpainted" is similar to me saying my litho is only just un-signed.

As long as it's official, it counts!

-Just my 2 cents

I contacted pure arts directly, and their 'shanghai director' wrote me back personally. Now I must say this... My 'spidey-sense' bullshit me has hit an all time high with their reply. They have said some key words that are huge red flags to me and I'm running away as fast as I can.


I wrote pure arts asking details about the statue and price. Basic stuff. Now keep in my also they do not have a website, just a 'coming soon' link. Without copying the email, I'll highly specifics of their reply:


"My job is to help make your dreams come true"

"Yes it's true! I received authorization to offer you this unique item!"

"Lucky guy! We will send you a payment request by paypal shortly after you send us these infos"



Everything typed above was verbatim from my email. PASS.
WOW.

He makes your dreams come true
