Yes I keep them all sealed. The white one is not going to be released by him personally, it is going to be realeased by another website. From October to December he is going to release an estimate of 12-15 different drake figures from what he told me. He is going to release some really special editions in December.

Surely you've tempted to open them? Eek that's a lot. He is milking them abit.

I have wanted to open them to have them all displayed differently, but decided to keep them sealed. Well his contract with sony to make these figures ends on march, so he won't be making anymore of these. He told me that he might start making the last of us figures next year but that he is not sure yet.

Hmmm I'm not sure I want him to, I'd be really tempted to buy some them but I reckon they'll be highly limited ones so will cost a fortune.

I don't know what to tell you based on price and how limited it will be. I personally don't want him to make them because if he does I will have to stand in a corner to sell my a** to be able to get them all.

Madigan · #**246** 09-30-2012, 08:27 PM

Did you ask him why the 1 of 1 editions cost $1,500 and the regulars $50? Does he have a good reason for this or he's just being greedy?

NaughtyDogJames · #**247** 09-30-2012, 08:51 PM

Well the one of one can with the art print and he had to make a design and then only use it once but a large amount of it is greed I reckon.

Robalvarez2010 · #**248** 09-30-2012, 10:07 PM

Madigan: the 1of1 are $1500 because one there is only one in the world with no artist proof, not him nor naughty dog has one. He just made that art design from the top of his head and put it for sale so there is no other one like it and also it comes with a 1of1 20*30 giclee art print with no artist proof as well. He also knows that he could mark it up any price he wants and it would sell. If not by me by someone else, and the ones that cost $50 have a bigger production line. The scarecrow blue is 100pcs, the naughty dog is 500pcs, and the og version there is no known production #for that one. He prices them by how limited they are. Usually the ones that are limited to 15pcs go for $250 and 5pcs go for $400 and the 3pcs goes for $500, and he also sees how the uncharted franchise is at the moment that everyone is spending crazy amout of money on anything that has to do with uncharted.

Like for good example, he has a figure on his website don't know the name of the figure right at this moment but it's limited to only 1of1 worldwide and is only for $500 and it has not sold yet. It all depends how popular and how high in demand the item is. I saw a couple of emails that he showed me of people that wanted the 1of1 drake figures and some of those individuals were from naughty dog. But since it's limited to only 1 he won't be able to produce anymore of them because he will have a lawsuit in his hands.

Yes but what madigan is saying is basically what you just said yourself, people are spending crazy money and its an in demand franchise....so he is of course just milking this to the max, how many more of these can he make? i don't know i just think its getting silly with these to be honest.

Not trying to take what you feel about them away from you Rob, not at all but yeah i just don't get it really.
