However, I'm looking to create a line of 6" busts of all our characters so I'd like to include Galahad in that.



Thanks,

All characters? Man they will cost me a fortune...

I really love that statue. I am amazed how you guys can make life sizes statues like that (even more so for the ones of massive scale like the Tianfall Titan and the Evolve Goliath). It is just amazing how much detail goes into most of them.

The bust idea sounds great.

Maybe a bust with the knights but have it be like a mantle of busts with all the knights in one half oval? That way it is one statue. It would be like a display in the building of The Order (like a "here are our honored knights" type thing).

You can send that Sir Galahad Life Size statue to my house. I will provide you my address. Lol

But yea I totally understand that you would want to leave the order 1886 out for now since we got pvc statues from the CE.

Bust sounds nice to me, and I hope we get all the knights including those intricate details of their armor.

However, stay tuned! I'm working on a bunch of collectible busts, statues and vehicles right now, and some of them are based on some classic PlayStation titles. So, if there was a game that had a good following, but no one made a licensed statue for it back in the day, I just may be tackling it. If you guys have ideas for cool Collectibles, shout them out! Just remember though, right now i'm only making SCEA game based Collectibles.

Thanks!

Twisted Metal baby!! They had some sick-looking characters that no one tackled.

And yes, like flatout mentioned.. I too really appreciate the statues even though some of them are from games I never played. But they make me sit up and admire them even if I don't think I will ever buy those

[garybarth]

Dr. Jengo, great minds think alike. I'm already working on something TM related with The same sculptor that did our Journey statue. Stay tuned!

I just wanted to say that I'm not even a huge PS fan (though I am a fan of PS1 and PS2) and I TOTALLY appreciate Gary (and others like him) who comment and share on our forum in the manner you do. You rock and if it hasn't been said enough, thanks so much for valuing our opinion (and our hobby/habits/addictions/etc.) enough to keep us in the loop and to share your awesome work on here!

You get a +2 to Awesomeness trophy!

You carry on with that great mind of yours!! Mine just exploded in excitement!

Hi Flatout,

It took 6 vendors to create that statue (including a little fabrication from your's truly), and then I assembled it. Made three of them, actually. The effects company that did the head are close friends of mine, and they recently sent this incredibly kind gift to me to display in my office at Sony.




I think the bust idea is a good compromise. A lot of people can't afford to collect full statues of characters and it also gives us a chance to revisit some older characters. The goal is to keep these in the $75-80 range. Some of the busts will be hard to keep that low because a bust like Galahad has so many paint applications with that detailed uniform. It will also depend on whether we have a pre-existing high res digital model to work with, or if I have to pay a sculptor to create it. But, I'm very excited about doing this line. They will be produced in a fairly limited run (possibly only 300-500 units of each).

Thanks,
Gary

Lol! They're small and less expensive than full statues, and we'll produce them slowly so it shouldn't break the wallet. ;-)
