Default Re: What kinds of PlayStation Collectibles would you like to see?

Gary Barth,

Your work is utterly remarkable! I confess that I am not a massive PlayStation fan, but the detail in the craftsmanship both you and your team put into these pieces is one worth applauding. It is an honor to have you on these forums and for me to have the opportunity of offering input.

Of what I'd like to see, well, I'd really appreciate more God of War. To support what Dr Jengo has said, in the beginning there wasn't much gaming collectibles to choose from. Sure, I saw Sonic the Hedgehog here and Pokemon there, but it wasn't until NECA's Player Select series that more mature characters were introduced as action figures. The line consisted of either single entries to a franchise (Dante from Dante's Inferno) to multiple entries (COG and Locust from Gears of War). Over the years, DC Direct stepped up with Mass Effect, Resistance, and God of War, and now you can find figures and statues from anywhere (Sideshow Collectibles, Ubicollectibles, etc).

Some of these companies capitalize on the wealth of characters and creatures the licenses have. Others... not so much. For God of War all I've seen is Kratos, repaint Kratos, Hades, Poseidon, and Hercules. With the wealth of Greek mythology at hand, I'm disappointed.

Now... here's my thinking. You mentioned earlier in the thread that you were interested in making busts for the characters in The Order: 1886, and that you would like to tackle each SCEA property, with Uncharted coming first by the looks of it. With God of War, how awesome would it be to have the Olympians reminiscent of Ancient Greek busts, clad in all white? If not all white, then maybe white with gold accents. You could add lights (like the glowing energy of the statues in the multiplayer section of God of War: Ascension), although this would probably compromise the quality of the busts. I just want to create my own Pantheon of the Gods housing Ares, Zeus, Athena, Apollo, and the like. Kratos would also fit in, because fans could display the original God of War or the successor.

Other than the busts, statues of Kratos facing off against the Hydra, a Titan, or the chimera would be neat too. The bust idea in my mind would be a perfect way to condense the series into collectible form, and by making them fair in scale, affordable and not breaking the bank.

Phew...

Can't wait for the full reveal of your Kratos!
