My concern is that thus far, a number of character collectible merchandise has been targeted to those collectors that prefer large-scale items. Don't get me wrong. I am floored by the statue. My pockets, though, are not up to snuff and never will be. If you look at the God of War brand on the PlayStation Gear Store, the only affordable Kratos you will see is the POP! vinyl, and I am not fond of those little things. There is the DC Direct figurine of Kratos from a few years back that has long been sold out even before the site was put up, and right now NECA's action figure release is coming up. But what if someone doesn't want articulation? What if someone cringes at the sight of joints and ball pegs? What they want another alternative to the DC Direct figurine (and the God of War Ascension CE "statue"). What if I desire something from the amazing work Mr. Barth and his team are capable of? I would like to see both sides, both ends on the spectrum, satisfied. Or at the very least a choice meet at the middle (say $200 to $250 at most).

And I agree with Mike1888. I've only played the first game, Resistance: Fall of Man, so I am not sure of the other entries. Nevertheless, the Chimera - of assorted class structures - are very interesting specimens concept-wise, and I would like to see them put to some use.

Also, Flower and Flow. I enjoyed those two more than Journey. Still, would be cool if there were mini "statues" for each game, so that one could create a That Game Company collection.

To be fair this was the only big statue from them so far (for us to buy). I think the perception is always now... so because it just came out it feels like this is what they do (when in fact all of the statues are 1/6 scale or less besides this one).
