Unfortunately we don't have much choice as a consumer in Canada and our options of online retailers is so tiny compared to the US. Frustrating but nonetheless, anazon.ca has delivered well on many of my past purchases and I'll remain a loyal customer.

I can understand them not sending things out too early. I mean, I live about 30 minutes from the warehouse, so if they had sent mine out 2 days before product launch, I'd have it before launch.

But damn! They didn't even SHIP on release day! I didn't even get my copy until yesterday!

You're right, we don't have many choices here, which is kind of a shame. Not just from a personal standpoint, but just for the sake of a competitive market with the consumer in mind.

At least we both got our games in the end.

Anyone that has a copy of this can tell me the country of manufacture and ideally the name of the manufacturer please?

The Company that made the statue is "Purearts". And Bandai Namco released the game

I just unboxed my Prestige Edition.
I believe the Cinder statue is not made of polystone or resin! Feels like plastic, sounds like it too! Looks like solid plastic, but nothing more.
The base is made of polystone, definitely weighty and not plastic as it felt cold as well.

My base number plaque is 1999/2000

I had a quick look at Anjelaoni's a couple of days ago (mine is at my mums) and the base is definitely polystone. I think the statue is too, but it definitely has plastic pieces (such as the parts of the clothing, etc). Definitely looks great though, IMO xx

Thanks V, I regress that part of my statement, after a few searches on information about polystone and some familiar statues (to me), I realise the statue itself is predominantly made of polystone.

The cape appears to be plastic, although, in comparison to other premium priced statues, I found the detailing a little less than what I presumed them to be.

For a dead Knight in non-shining armour, I still expected a shiny paint job on it instead of something more dull and washed out. For that price (US$400 Lord of Cinder statue only), I would be comparing it to Sideshow's Nathan Drake Premium Edition or Michael Archangel (Heroes VI) with the level of detail and paint job.

I'm afraid I couldn't pass Cinder on top of either of those statue in terms of overall package. I even found the Lords of the Fallen CE bust far more detailed and craftily painted than Cinder. Of course, this is all in my personal view and opinion. I mean, for the price they put up in Australia (AU$799) ain't cheap! It should have been price that high, in comparison to the DS3 CE, apart from Cinder, only the A4 size Artbook would be the most significant difference. 799 vs 229. That statue essentially cost (the very few Aussies with Prestige) over $500AU.

Overall, I'm content because I didn't have to pay the full price in the end.

That is what i wrote before. The statue is not polystone, more like polyresin maybe.
Too expensive for it's quality.

i knew it would come back to this XD... i'm out... looking at my amazing yhorm statue

[Brandon Storm]

That's really too bad.

I agree with Matrix6, that at Sideshow statue prices, I would've expected Sideshow quality, at the very least.

Seems like this still falls under the 'video game collector's edition' quality, although at the high-end.

Definitely not worth it, in my opinion.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to try and buy it one day though...

Archangel Michael statue that Pure Arts made for Ubisoft and sold through Sideshow was made from Polyresin. But it was 349$ and not 399$.
