Well, if we "blast" them (in a friendly sort of way of course) on social media about his face they may change it like they did with the Megaman Running statue -- that thing was horrible looking before they responded to the outcry. Maybe there's a chance here too!

I love Zelda but I am not a hardcore Zelda fan like you guys. This is my first Link statue, I was think "It's big, so it must be great". I was ready to pay $400+ because of the size of the statue, but I really didn't expect the edition size to be 2500...

I purchased some statues from Gaming Heads and Sideshow before and none of them has a edition size of 2000+... F4F also charged me $20 non-refundable deposit

Yeah, I know. There was an issue like that before with regards to C3P0 link not having any eyes on the Link on Epona statue so they made another head for him. Does anybody else feel the same way about his face? I know he's supposed to be enjoying flying on his loftwing, but I don't think it looks right. >.< There's too much of a happy emotion on his face instead of a serious looking face. It looks a little creepy, but I don't know how else he could look...




Am I the only one who is unsure about this. Unfortunately I can't complain on social media as I don't use it. I might use my mum's account to complain later, but I don't want to be the only one. XD

Something more like this...

Nope, you guys are right. That face is damn weird. I laughed pretty hard when I got that e-mail today.

Won't be getting this one.

You should reach out however you can to see if they'll change the face. They've done it twice before and I think they're doing themselves a disservice having this one look so goofy/weird/creepy.

Off topic (sorry): Do you have to get permission from your mum to buy stuff too?

On Topic: That face is creepy...

I'm torn on this one as well, was ready to pre order straight away but I'm just not blown away by it. Eveyone's right, the face sucks so I'm on the fence at the minute

I'm seeing a lot of people in comment sections around the internet complaining about the face. Surely F4F has noticed by now, right? Have they commented on FB or Twitter or anything?
