Re: Statues & Figures Thread - Any & All Game Related
flatout,
I forgot to mention this way, way, way back. I had spoken to the company that made the Darksiders II Death statue (the one shown at Gamescom that you now appear to own) and they told me that War was not in the plans, as Death was to commemorate the release of the remastered edition. So, yeah.
As for Kratos, my heart jumped when I saw the posting on the Twitter account earlier in the week. The price is much, yes, and I'm not rich. The thing for me is much less the cost and more the size. Where does one put such a thing? I think the tallest figure I owned was 14" or a little over. This is just insane.
Would it kill them to make a smaller size? Sure, the detail is not as high. So what? Gentle Giant had a Black Widow statue from The Winter Soldier that sold out and they have made a second run, or half the size or so, with a cheaper price tag. They are basically making affordable and space-saving alternatives to their giant, collector editions. This is the best Kratos stance and sculpt I have seen, and yet I can't do it. All that's left for me is the Ultimate Kratos by NECA Toys releasing sometime late December, and I would trade over that for a smaller one of this. <--- Mr. Gary Barth I hope you are reading this and can convince folks.
Side note: Prepare ladies and gents, for God of War 4!
