What kinds of PlayStation Collectibles would you like to see?

This was an earlier consideration. The red and blue balls of light with the electricity would be relatively easy to do.

I actually like the static pose with the balls of light. Action poses tend to look out of place on the shelf as the background/base details aren't so obvious.

Seconding this. I prefer static.

Sorry guys.. "action" for me.. Cole isn't that visually interesting as a character (I mean he's just a normal human with normal clothes)

So static pose can be a bit plain. So my vote goes for "action" pose

We could always hope for 2 statues like the bloodborne diorama and hunter so that would please both static and action fans. Of course the hardcore fans would then have to get both

Wow! I'm glad to see my question has sparked some discussion. This is as good as it gets, gang. This is where you get heard. ;-)

I'm on the fence here because I like both poses. I agree that Cole isn't as dynamic looking as, say, Batman, but I think the static pose could look cool if we can get the flickering LEDs to look cool. However, action poses are pretty awesome too. The other option is we do a static cover pose for one statue, an later on down the line we do the Festival of Blood Cole jumping over a crypt or something. Lets let a few more people weigh in.

BTW, I appreciate the kind words in your posts. I'm glad you are all enjoying my Collectibles. There are a lot of cool licensed collectible companies out there making PS Collectibles, so I'm honored that you like my stuff as much as theirs. Someone mentioned the other Bloodborne statue. I got a chance to see it at Comic-Con and it is amazing! I'm just happy to be playing in this sand box.

One of the cool things about my job is I can drop teasers on projects that I'm working on (I posted some partial pics of some busts I've been working on in the "naughty dog store" thread...check 'em out before our Marketing Dept makes me pull them). Here's another tease of something I've been working on:

It's not a bust, and its really big!

Ah yes the Festival of Cole is still in the plans. Yup one static and one action works for me. I can choose or I can choose both

You are right about many licenses companies doing collectibles. Loving the attention gaming characters are getting in terms of collectibles. When I first started collecting, I was disappointed to see so few games getting collectibles and it was all about Marvel/DC/Star Wars.

Now with so many options, I'm struggling to keep up!

Kratos! Was just wondering the other day how come God of War hasn't been touched in this thread.. You got some competition though with Gaming Heads doing 2 Kratos statues as well!

I saw the one with him on the throne, very impressive. I wasn't aware they were making another.

Mine is a very limited edition and I worked with the development team using the game model, so its about as accurate as you can get. I'm only making 250 of them. I guess he'd be considered 1/4 scale since he's a big dude (26" tall with base) and I made him with mixed media (leather and cloth shirt thingy, metal chains). I'm really proud of him. I started him a couple years ago before the game came out but I didn't have a way to sell him until now.
