I don't see a $650 statue there. Never looks as good as the prototype to me.
If it was Ezio or Altair, then maybe...but not Frye.
Yeah, it's definitely expensive for what you get. Looks more like a $300 statue to be honest. Unfortunately, I collect AC statues and my OCD will force me to buy this lol.

Well, my Darksiders Death and Dust statue (see pics here) by Triforce looks pretty good. Not perfect, but great quality for the price. That was released a couple of years ago though.

I agree that one was good and a good value overall (it was $600 for 1/4 scale right?), as I said their CE statues are what i avoid (but I hope they get better as they are a pillar of the CE statue makers now... I think they stretched themselves WAY too thin and their work has suffered for it, at least I hope this is the reason). Also it is pretty hard to do poorly on 1/4 or bigger scales (small details are far easier).

I still do not like some things about that Death statue personally that I feel kept the price down but I will not get specific as I do not want to be offensive But again for the price that was a really great statue (if I had the spare money I would own that one too).

Original price was $600 for 1/3 scale (30 inches tall).

Yeah 1/3 is what I meant... great deal for that for sure. Still anything over $300 is far out of my personal price range

As much as I think Project Triforce is a shit company for how much they've screwed me (and many others) over with preorders, their last few mass produced CE statues have been pretty good. The Battlefield 1, ReCore, and Mirror's Edge Catalyst statues I thought were well done.

But there have also been some I thought were less than good. The Thunderjaw is the most recent example of a very mediocre statue. The DOOM one just felt super cheap and flimsy (but was also only $99 before the Amazon 20% off at launch).

Pretty messed up I agree. Even internally, they seem to have changed the person in charge of customer relations several times.

I have the AC Syndicate Jacob Statue on pre-order and even before that I pre-ordered the Evolve's Goliath Statue. Still no sign of both.

Aguilar Statue from Project Triforce

14” Aguilar Statue – Standing over a foot tall and just under 7lbs in weight, this highly-detailed statue features the amazing likeness of Michael Fassbender in his role of Aguilar – Master Assassin of the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins.

Exclusive triptych folder with three high quality lithographs showcasing 21st century assassin Callum Lynch’s epic transformation into his 15th century ancestor Aguilar de Nerha. Reverse side doubles as a diorama background for the statute itself!













So this is isn't the same one previously shown, wonder what happened to that?

I guess they didn't get enough pre-orders for the previous one and cancelled production? I like this one a lot better because of the base. The previous one had a really weird looking base. Not a big fan of Aguilar's pose though. Looks way too similar to the Ezio statues.
