Noted ;-)
I've always wanted to do a really big statue, and I figured that Kratos was the perfect subject. From now on, I'll stick with smaller scale and make them more affordable. However, you have to admit, $499 for a 1:3 scale mixed media statue is pretty darn reasonable. ;-)
I hope you all had a great Holiday and if you have ideas for statues or collectibles you'd like to see produced in the future, feel free to post them on here or email me directly at
gary_barth@playstation.sony.com. They can be based on new games or classic games, but it has to be properties that SCEA makes (sorry, no Destiny guns or Battlefront snow speeders...as much as I'd like to make them). And remember, these aren't vanity projects, so the ideas have to be for statues that will be popular enough to support making a 500-1000 units.
Thanks,
G

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!
