The game really does have a cult-type following. The ratings and reviews I've read and hearing other people talk about it on other forums all seem to rate it more as a fantastic "experience" that just a game like TLoU etc. that will undoubtedly have sequels and be made into a series.

It is such a unique and uniquely wondrous game that really seems to capture something "special" beyond just being "an amazing zombie game" or the like.

I think that, plus the innocence of the statue makes it more display-worthy in many homes than some grotesque zombie-monster.

But that's just my $.02 on it.

Haha.. I like your response but I was being a bit rhetorical (because even though for me it does not make sense it obviously is true... but really it hard for me to imagine how).

Good answer though

Also it is an amazing statue and for the price you cannot beat Gary's studio's statues.

Hmm no doubt TLOU is more popular than Journey. But Journey's art is something that is really beautiful on display. If I just took the TLOU bust and show it to someone that hasn't played the game, I think their reaction would be 'oh cool, thats really nice.' - but will they buy it? Doubt so.. Unless they are like a horror/monster fan.

Journey on the other hand, be it prints or statues, they are great to display. Even for someone who has not played the game.

Thats my opinion I guess..

Yeah the Journey statue for display is a very neutral "could be in your living room" as compared to the Clicker or even Delsin.

I am linking how that prompted responses

Ooops... i posted my responses then only saw your message that you were being rhetorical..

Im not a big Journey collector either, but I really do love their artstyle. And I equally love my TLOU bust and Infamous SS Delsin Rowe Statue

Weirdly 'Nate' does not look like Nate in Gary's teaser but when you see the whole bust in bbki's post it makes sense but I'm not liking the sum total. The face is somehow too long, too slim...

Slightly worried I'm not going to like 'Naaaaaaate!'

I see what you mean but I feel like it is the angle of the picture. Hope so anyways

I'm really hoping so. It's just one of those oh so familiar faces but I have faith in Gary and his team

Well with the new tech and older look Nate has change a LOT from 2 and 3 to 4. It is amazing how that level of detail can make him almost look like a different person.
