Or Gary you misquoted? Haha..

I'm hoping it wasn't a misquote and just a mis-typing of the name! If I wasn't wearing so much gear at the moment, I'd do a cartwheel or a flip over the fact that I might get a Wild Arms statue/figure!

If it was a misquote... Knight/Jon is a sad panda.

Knight, I think Gary will take care the both of us

You can be the hot blooded italian Jon and I can be the Knight that is not a Nintendo fan :p

@Gary

I just saw Flatout's unboxing for the GoW statue.. That beast is amazing. Simply amazing.. please do not stop making this type of big statue. I would throw in my money too if it was my favorite franchise. But like you had mentioned before, it needs to have a huge demand & fan base before you make this type statue. So I am hoping to see more from you guys in future for other characters

[garybarth]

Well, they cost so darn much to ship...but occasionally I might make one. ;-) Thanks for the kind words. After 2.5" years, I'm just glad to see him finally on the market.

All these are great suggestions. I just need to float it around and see what kind of response I get. I need to be able to sell a certain amount of them to make it worthwhile.

That's true, and I understand that. The purpose of my comment was to point out that not everyone can afford or would prefer a large scale collectible. Basically, don't alienate fans with just premium items. Remember the little guys!

Yup, most of my statues will be in a smaller, more affordable scale.

Hi there,

No, I know there is a large contingent of 1:4 collectors out there. I just meant that I probably won't do a 1:3 scale again be cause they are so hard to handle shipping-wise. Also, I don't believe TGS has a payment plan set up so its a lot harder for people to pay for those big statues in one shot.

I like your suggestions. I know some licensees like Gaming Heads are making some of these, but let me take a poll around the office and see what people think would sell.

Thanks,
G

Should every statue you make be this size and price? Of course not. But if it makes sense with some of Sony's premier characters, I would hate to see you choose not to make it, because of a few pieces of negative feedback you received. I'm sure lots of people you may never hear from on a forum, will love the statue.

Just my 2 cents anyway. I also own your Delsin Rowe statue (did skip the Journey one though as the game doesn't interest me). Really like your work and hope you continue making great statues

SCEA franchises I would purchase statues from:
- Beyond: Two Souls
- Folklore
- God Of War
- Heavenly Sword
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- Infamous
- Jak and Daxter
- Killzone
- Knack
- Lair
- LittleBigPlanet (standard Sackboy only)
- Ratchet & Clank
- Resistance
- Sly Cooper
- Starhawk
- Syphon Filter
- The Order 1886
- Uncharted

Thanks
