Hi guys!
Apologies for being so quiet in regards to the studio. It's been a long time in the making since the announcement a few months ago. We feel those of you who have signed up deserve an update.
To make it short, we have some good news and bad news.
Bad news first -- we've come to make the decision that unfortunately, there won't be a Bloodborne figure. There are a few reasons why which are concerning, so please bare with us:
When designing these characters, we go through a specific processes; having to consider all angles of production from the workshop to your front door.
This includes, but isn't limited to, complexity, tangibility and most of all frailness. You are collectors. You don't want broken things, and we totally get this, which is a big reason why it was decided not to proceed.
After going through the play through, there are many mobs and monsters that have very awkward, fragile shapes. There are a lot of holes, pointy things, and other things to consider. All of the cool things that we wanted to do, while possible to craft, would not survive any shipping mishaps.
From an artistic and entrepreneur standpoint, it was just not feasible to do a cool and respected character with such high costs risks to you as a collector. We don't want to disappoint, and its very hard to send out replacements if anything were to happen to them.
With all bad news does come good news, though!
As you may know we've done a few statues in the past. We worked on an awesome DS1 Sif statue that was used as portfolio pieces and as charity, and an awesome D2 promotional piece for Bandai Namco. With the news of DS3 coming around the bend, we want to keep the series connected.. so there will be a Souls 3 statue in the works once the game is released. It will not be officially licensed, and they will be served as artistic fan art, underground, sorta spooky-ness. They will be signed and numbered up to 50. Character and more information TBA.
The Monthly Subscription:
Finally, we have all the kinks worked out in regards to the subscription. We've gathered that the cost efficiency for you, as fans, the size statue that would go out would be up to 6 inches. We had some pricing models and wanted to gather your feedback. If you don't mind clicking a few things (less than 20 seconds), we'd be most grateful. [

Again, thanks again for being awesome supporters.. any questions feel free to shoot our way and we'll try to get back as soon as possible. We're only a few people working on this, so we will try to be very personal with each of you as soon as we can.
Cheers,
