New Nathan Drake statue!

[BAD-WAYNE]

Yeah the Bloodborne diorama was my first. Not sure if they sold the ISS statue cause I got that directly from a convention but I know it was PS Official cause Gary helped me when it was broken.

If they both retailers had it listed at 1500 previosly then you guys are probably right; I never paid attention to the Edition Size.

Hey Guys,

Yup, I made the decision to cut the edition quantity in half. I've learned a few things about the videogame collectibles market over the past few years. You can never tell how a statue is going to do. I would have bet money that my Journey statue, based on a downloadable game that no one had heard of until it started winning awards was doomed to fail. It sold 1000 units in like 72 hrs. By comparison, I made what I thought was an awesome Kratos statue...26" tall, mixed media, shipped in box that could hold a small refrigerator....and they still haven't sold out so the Gear Store is blowing them out for $299 (grab one, they are a steal!).

When I started working on the Drake statue over a year ago, I had always wanted to set the edition quantity at 1500. However, some things have changed during the development period...and I noticed more collectibles statues staying in the 750-1000 range. We've got close to 500 pre-orders and while I feel that we could probably hit the 1000 mark eventually, I've spoken with the Uncharted team and we feel it's more important to make the statue more exclusive and go with the lower edition size.

So, that's pretty much it. I know that some of you are interested in waiting until the unboxing videos hit YouTube, or you get some in-hand reviews. That makes sense, but I wouldn't wait too long.

Thanks,
Gary

Still don't understand the Kratos one haha..

Thanks for the info Gary, 750 sounds like a good number. Good to keep it quite exclusive for some secondary-market value and also I feel that this is enough for everyone who wants one, to own one.

POed the Nathan Drake Statue, Was gonna wait closer to release date but Sideshow's $15 coupon was expiring today so might as well do it.. Now the wait begins!

Pre ordered aswell, thanks for getting the word out there guys. Was going to wait to after release, but with only 750 made I would probably have ended up not getting one

Yup better to have it locked in, rather than regretting later. With Sideshow, you only have to pay $50 up front or you can choose payment plans.

That is true! I am really looking forward to getting it. For some reason I do not really like the U3 premium format one so I skipped that, finally I am able to have a good Uncharted statue in the collection

I was very late to the Uncharted series.. My first game was the Uncharted Trilogy for PS4 so I missed out on all the CEs. I bought the UC4 CE, not too bad but I love this. It's like 'The' Uncharted Statue for me.

Hi Gary,

I just received the Uncharted statue, alhough it is one gigantic piece of collection, I'm having a little trouble...


1. The shotgun does not fit in the soldier's forearm.
2. Drake's holdster's broken, the fixation broke and it is now seperate into two different pieces
3. The soldier's goggles are seperate from the helmet (same problem, the glue fixation broke.)

Can you please tell me asap how I get replacement items.

Thanks

Wow, Gadgetron. I'm sorry to hear your statue has issues. Of course, I'll make sure we make good on everything asap. First, a few questions:

1) Did you buy it through Sideshow or the Gear Store?
2) Are you in the U.S. or overseas?
3) Was there a shockwave tag on the box?

Also, please feel free to email me directly at gary.barth@Sony.con

Thanks for your patience,
Gary
