Thanks for the info, I appreciate it even if it feels like a knife in the heart

I assumed this though. I knew it was marketing push to try and help the re-master... but I secretly hoped for War too.

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!
I hear you. There are a good amount of collectors who like really big statues and some people who like smaller ones. Honestly I do not have the space, I had to move stuff around and clear an entire display table off for him (though it is worth it... he is amazing). I think Gary and the Devs wanted to make a big on this time is all.

I agree on the pose as well... I love it. I do not like super action type poses as they tend to look awkward at certain angles.

Going to PM you with an idea/suggestion
