The game really does have a cult-type following. The ratings and reviews I've read and hearing other people talk about it on other forums all seem to rate it more as a fantastic "experience" that just a game like TLoU etc. that will undoubtedly have sequels and be made into a series.

It is such a unique and uniquely wondrous game that really seems to capture something "special" beyond just being "an amazing zombie game" or the like.

I think that, plus the innocence of the statue makes it more display-worthy in many homes than some grotesque zombie-monster.

But that's just my $.02 on it.

Haha.. I like your response but I was being a bit rhetorical (because even though for me it does not make sense it obviously is true... but really it hard for me to imagine how).

Good answer though

Also it is an amazing statue and for the price you cannot beat Gary's studio's statues.

Hmm no doubt TLOU is more popular than Journey. But Journey's art is something that is really beautiful on display. If I just took the TLOU bust and show it to someone that hasn't played the game, I think their reaction would be 'oh cool, thats really nice.' - but will they buy it? Doubt so.. Unless they are like a horror/monster fan.

Journey on the other hand, be it prints or statues, they are great to display. Even for someone who has not played the game.

Thats my opinion I guess..

Yeah the Journey statue for display is a very neutral "could be in your living room" as compared to the Clicker or even Delsin.

I am linking how that prompted responses

Ooops... i posted my responses then only saw your message that you were being rhetorical..

Im not a big Journey collector either, but I really do love their artstyle. And I equally love my TLOU bust and Infamous SS Delsin Rowe Statue

No no I just meant it that way but does not mean you cannot respond... lol.

Yeah the art style is nice, not enough for me to collector for it though. I have to have a really strong connection with a game and Journey just did not entice me after trying the demo.

Yup, like you, the game doesn't really impact me as much, but I just make an exception for it simply because of the art.

We should ask Gary for more TLOU statues. ><
