First4Figures Statues - Latest Announcement: "Link on Loftwing" - Page 11

Yeah, I actually don't own many of the TP statues yet, and the ones I do I've never actually authenticated them, so don't have the same #'s. Probably should at least authenticate my Zelda one so I get the same Puppet Zelda I guess (? Not even sure that can still happen if you've already ordered it -- thank God for the flexpay options too haha!)

I agree though - it seems like a REALLY lazy statue to put together, though I know from watching their social media accounts it was highly requested and sought after. Still, I think a lot of people will complain, but honestly, what else could they have done since in-game she's got practically the same character image/portrait/sprite/whatever as the regular Zelda?

I suppose they could've made a cooler pose with her dress flowing backwards like she was casting a spell or something, I'd be all for that, but still, wasn't expecting much more for this.

Also, I think what would've been MUCH better now that I think about it, is if they just made her puppet head the "exclusive" for the original Zelda - that would've solved all my complaints about these two I think (and been $350 cheaper!)

It's not too late to request the same number Knight. Just Authenticate the Zelda statue that you have and send an email to their Customer Services and Kanako will be more than happy to oblige. ^^

One other complaint I have is, they don't send discount codes with their newsletters anymore...

Yeah, I figured they'd help out if I sent an email - they're usually pretty great about it! I never ended up getting that Link on Epona before they sold out, but there were still some available in AUS and I emailed them and they said they'd work it out so I could order one from Australia and have it shipped to me in the US, was pretty nice of them!

And yeah, most of my purchases have been through eBay, so I still haven't even qualified for the "bronze" discount (though I'll be there once I authenticate puppet Zelda I think), so those discount codes are sorely missed.

That's pretty cool. ^^ Wish I had thought to ask them when they had some international stock of the Exclusive Link on Epona. I ultimately didn't get it in the end. Lol I got the standard one, but I didn't like the exclusive one enough to bite the bullet on it.

After this Zelda purchase I will qualify for Silver discount! ^^

Nice! 10% makes these a little bit easier to chew (especially if they still gave codes for free shipping).

Since you mentioned KoRL and Puppet Ganon, what's your most-desired piece that they could make for any of their existing Zelda lines? Curious what Iwatasan's is too?

I thought long and hard on it and there were quite a few I'd like to see - any of the great fairies (just because they haven't made one yet), Saria from OoT, or Malon (they can toss a cow in there, I'd be okay with that I guess?), a really gorgeous illuminated triforce statue, but I think my #1 is the King of Red Lions (boat form) to be next in their WindWaker series. I've been waiting years for a decent diorama with him in it!

Also, I just remembered, I'd LOVE to see the Twili form of Midna too! That's actually probably more desired than KoRL!

Edit: And how could I forget Princess Ruto?!? They already made Darunia... just can't fathom why they didn't make her and Saria etc. Though, they haven't really been strong on the female cast yet (or for any of their statue series really!?), so maybe they were dealing with issues related to that?

Iwatasan · #**108** 12-15-2015, 10:25 PM

I also agree with KoRL, the Great Fairy, and Twili Midna. If you ever got all the figurines in TWW you know you unlock a figurine of Link riding KoRL in boat form which I've always thought would be an awesome figurine in real life. Great Fairy would have to be either from TP or HW:

Runners up, all from Majora's Mask:

There are loads of statues that I would like them to make, but my wallet couldn't handle it! >.< Twilight Midna as you said, KORL, Link's forms in MM, the sages in OoT and that would pretty much cover the more desirable ones for me. Lol
