PlayStation Collectibles is back! And I'd like your opinion...

[garybarth]

Hey Gang,

After a hiatus, PlayStation Collectibles is coming back with some new statues! More information is forthcoming, but I did want to take a poll to gauge your interest in a particular statue that I'd like to possibly make. I know that there's a lot of collectors out there that were not able to get my Journey statue, so I'm looking at the possibility of doing another one. Rather than just do the old collectible staple of doing a paint variant or a bronze version, I wanted to change the base a bit, and maybe replace the stone creature in the sand with something else (I was thinking of a snow environment this time). I'd keep the price range the same ($150-160). After a conversation with a member of the studio confirmed how popular Journey still is, I thought this might be something fans of the game might want. However, I don't want it to be just a cash grab, so if there's enough interest, I'll look into working with Tim Miller (the original sculptor) on changing the statue a bit. What say you?

Thanks,
Gary

Changing environment is nice. More chance for journey fan to grab the statue.
But love to see more effort like changing position of the travelers

Also looking forward to see you working on diorama or statue like last of us and day gone and maybe Detroit (I love Valorie Curry

Hi BBKI,

Understood, but to completely sculpt a new statue for a 4 year old game might be cost prohibitive. I'm still looking at the numbers to see if I can make it work, but there may have to be some compromises.

I am looking at making statues for the games you mentioned (as well as others), so if you have ideas regarding which characters and poses you'd like to see, please feel free to throw them out here.

Thanks,
Gary

Hey Gary, is the Uncharted busts project still alive? Would like to get them as well as a TLoU statue

I'd buy it for sure.

Seconding the Valorie Curry/Kara statue idea.

for the last of us
Here's what I think

This is pretty good for diorama IMO



I like the pose of this one but didn't tell the story of the game.



A bit different tone from the game but really show the character bonding moment.

+1 for Last of us!!

Good feedback, thanks! So, you'd like a TLOU diorama in more of an action pose. Got it.


If there are any other statues or collectibles based on SCEA/SIEA products, Shout'em out! ;-)

Thanks,
Gary

-Resistance FoM Chimera - statue, bust - probably wouldn't sell very well, but I have to suggest it every time you ask. Need something for this game, one of my all time favs.
-Ludens from Death Stranding/Kojima Productions
-The Last Guardian - something like this would be bad ass

A Bloodborne diorama featuring a cleric beast would be awesomel! Maybe the pose where it grabs the hunter and screams?




To bad Demon's Souls wasn't published by SCEA. Maiden Astraea and Garl Vinland diorama would have been killer.
