No question a lot of money, but in comparison to other statues of that size it is a really good deal. I have said this before with my Delsin Rowe Statue... Gary's team (Sony Fabrication Arts Group) make the best statues I have ever had by far.

Shipping is like 80 to Canada I was told? Just to give some context to that... the box is 32"x 23" x19" and weighs 48lbs according to the shipping label. That is pretty good shipping cost for that.

That box is almost impossible to grab and move around... it was quite the process





That does look really cool too. I remember always thinking of him as "Tiger Goro" when I was a kid.

Agreed, I don't mean the cost to be too much for the statue, just a lot in general to pay at once. It is a great value. To me limited to 500 is too much but you may be right, will be interesting to see how quickly it sells out.

Yes it is 80 which is a very nice and surprisingly low shipping price, 580 US = 775 CAD.

Yeah Kintaro is sweet. I was lucky enough to get the bloody EX version and also got an e-mail notifying me I was fast enough to get an AP.

Yeah I agree.

I think if it was posted on a statue site like Gaming Heads or Sideshow it would be gone already. The issue is getting is noticed by the big statue collector crowd I think. I still think it will sell out rather fast... the exclusive edition of the Throne statue was limited to 500 (the regular one was 1,250... so 1,750 in total) and that sold out very fast (but it was on Gaming Heads and the PS Store). I still think it will sell out in a bit.

Nice, glad you got it. Looks like it will be nice.

flatout,

I forgot to mention this way, way, way back. I had spoken to the company that made the Darksiders II Death statue (the one shown at Gamescom that you now appear to own) and they told me that War was not in the plans, as Death was to commemorate the release of the remastered edition. So, yeah.

As for Kratos, my heart jumped when I saw the posting on the Twitter account earlier in the week. The price is much, yes, and I'm not rich. The thing for me is much less the cost and more the size. Where does one put such a thing? I think the tallest figure I owned was 14" or a little over. This is just insane.

Would it kill them to make a smaller size? Sure, the detail is not as high. So what? Gentle Giant had a Black Widow statue from The Winter Soldier that sold out and they have made a second run, or half the size or so, with a cheaper price tag. They are basically making affordable and space-saving alternatives to their giant, collector editions. This is the best Kratos stance and sculpt I have seen, and yet I can't do it. All that's left for me is the Ultimate Kratos by NECA Toys releasing sometime late December, and I would trade over that for a smaller one of this. <--- Mr. Gary Barth I hope you are reading this and can convince folks.

Side note: Prepare ladies and gents, for God of War 4!

I was sitting here scratching my head wondering what Sony properties I was interested in when I realized that Sony still owns the rights to the "Wild Arms" series right!?!? Man, I can't even begin to express how much I'd LOVE to purchase something from that series. Any type of collectible replica, small figures (a trio from the first game would be so great!), or something nodding to the "arms" or "golems" or anything at all really from those games!

I'd buy a $300 statue that had Rudy with an "arms" pose, Jack and hanpan looking all "thiefy" and Cecilia with a book open (or heck, even sitting atop the Golem, but that'd probably be a more expensive statue). Or, it could be done smaller scale to something like what Nintendo did for their 2010 CN Gift here:

Spoiler!

These games had quite a big following, and maybe with SCEA releasing them on PSN it could be timed to work out with the reveal/launch or something? The WA series still has quite a big following, though I'm not sure you'd see extremely expensive statues sell very well for it - though I bet the nostalgia factor alone is strong with them!

Hi Jon,

Thanks!

New Mad Moxxie Statue (looks like Borderlands 1 Underdome) I hear is is 1/4 scale and the GameStop variant is only $120!!!!!!!!!! That is and amazing price. I guess it is made of resin (or porcelain) and PVC (Only the delicate parts will be made from PVC, the coat tails, belts, hair and hands).

I think there are 5,000 being made. Not sure if they are numbered but it is part of why the price is so good.
