Default Re: The "Official Online Naughty Dog Store" Thread!

Lol! No problem. Whenever we launch a product, I like to hang out and get feedback from collectors. I love this stuff as much as you guys do and at the moment, our gear site doesn't have a way to solicit feedback, so I hit a lot of statue forums to answer questions, provide info, that kind of stuff.

With regard to photography, the ThinkGeek folks usually handle that in-house. The problem was, I was a bit hesitant to send out the one extra master we had in CA because the design is very fragile and without an EPS foam insert that is made specifically for the statue, you could end up with a bunch of broken pieces. I've had bubble wrap and popcorn fail too many times. I had three samples of a large premium format size statue that I'm making for one of our other AAA games show up wrapped in bubble wrap and they were destroyed.

Since the Journey shipment will be at our warehouse by Friday, the ThinkGeek Solutions folks are going to pull one from inventory to take the photos of, so you can see the quality on one of the production statues.
