First 4 Figures' on-again, off-again Zero statue looks to be making some serious headway. Following up on a tiny teaser earlier this year, F4F posted the above image to Facebook earlier today. And... he looks great!
Seriously; the difference here is night and day. Compare it to the unreleased 2014 version. Or the oddly-proportioned 2017 attempt. I think they nailed it this time.
F4F writes, "Our sweet Mega Man X Zero Statue is coming along nicely! Heads up though, he's going to be around the $700 mark right now - really pushing hard with the factory to reduce but this piece is really complicated, has a nice environmental base and the light ups on this is insane."
Those interested can sign up to be notified when pre-orders go live here. Fingers crossed this one goes the distance!
I don't have a lot of faith in F4F, and I've sold all my pieces from them.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that they (maybe; we'll have to see the rest) have finally gotten this right after 8 years, but $700 is quite the ask, and they really should be making these out of PVC and not polystone. I can't collect polystone statues anymore because they're too heavy, expensive to ship, and fragile. PVC is cheaper to ship, manufacture, and affords more detail than polystone. Gecco has no problems offering high-end, light-up statues in PVC, and F4F should take a hint from them.
