Those are great choices. Definitely the Akumas, M. Bisons and Ryus are on my list, but what do you think about Zagat?

SARFARAZ
06-24-2012, 11:40 AM
Zagat? Is that zangief and Sagat who have done a dragon ball z style fusion? Haha

Hahaha!! Sorry for the typo, I meant Sagat. I definitely consider Zangief a closed one.

i think Bison is fantastic but i find it hard to call it a grail.

Last time i checked grails do not tend to be so numerous on ebay at 150$ below retail

The only SF statues I care about are Vega, Guile and Chun Li, not technically grails but those are the only ones I want in my collection. Maybe the 1:3 Ryu and Blanka 1:4 depending on sculpt and pose. I didn't care much for the Blanka bust so if it looks like that I doubt I will get it.

WOW i see some incredible pieces!!:penguin:

For me the Holy Grail, doesn't necessarily entails the most expensive and top product of the year but the personal preference as well as the sentimental value attributed to a Statue!!

So here is mine, the AP Lion-O EX:

Guile

Interestingly a lot of the PCS Street Fighter statues would be considered grails based on market value / general consensus. But I'm not going to enter that debate here because there are too many people on this forum (including myself) with a vested interest in the apparent value of certain statues.

Re. Sagat question. If the question is "should I buy this with confidence knowing I can flip it for more later." I think the answer is yes....depending on sculp, popularity of character and ES.
Otherwise, if you are collecting, it's up to you! :penguin:

I see what you mean. We all would like our favorite statues to turn Grails from a financial standpoint or personal desire. In so many cases it doesn't turn that way.
I have invested money in pieces that had promising potential but the final product could not deliver. At the end of the day, what can you do? I do collect as a personal hobby more than just for economical interest.
Definitely the Street Fighter line is a hot commodity among collectors, mainly the abundant SF fan base (I count myself in).

I decided to go for the AP EX. because the light up feature was really important for me! I plan on getting all the cats at the EX. version:wink2:

This Lion-O was the first PF Statue i ever purchased and i am very happy it was accompanied with Jerry's signature,also it's one of the 10 AP produced!! another reason i consider it my Holy Grail!

Zangief and pink chun li.

I have a feeling SK will be the new pcs grail for the majority of people once he releases. People keep saying sagat but I don't really see that. He looks good but I don't think he will be a grail.

Also i think akuma is a bit overrated and ryu is extremely overated.

I currently only own 3 pieces from PCS and Chun-li is getting the "cure" so I have to wait for her to arrive. I have EX Felicia. Wasn't a very popular EX. Guess because most of the people that collect on here are males. Guess pink isn't manly enough to own. Waiting on Classic Scorpion, Kitana and Shao Kahn.

First you speak in absolutes:

The only holy grail peices are Shin & Reg Akuma & Reg & Evil ryu. The others are not grails.

Then you do the opposite:

But i bet you a million bux Sagat PCS EX & SS EX will be grails like the akumas

Looking at the market value and how difficult it is to obtain certain peices = grail or not.



For some people, merely owning a physical representation of a character they love is "grail" enough, regardless of its availability. :)

"Grail" means different things to different people.

For some people, merely owning a physical representation of a character they love is "grail" enough, regardless of its availability. :)

I agree with this statement.

I own several of the more expensive pieces....

But my Repainted Chun Li is the ultimate grail for me. Alex will accompany her in grail status:)

The PCSC statue friends are talking about very often is my #1 Darkchylde Ariel.
Her red dress melting into the blood of the base, plus the details of the wings are frickin' awesome.

Nevertheless, the statue(s) I love above all (by far) is my bunch of Chunners, she's been my favorite arcade fighting character since the very beginning ... "The Girls vs. M.Bison", simply stunning.

Looking at the market value and how difficult it is to obtain certain peices = grail or not.

And it's just judge, I beilive your the jury, and a very angry frusterated one lol :rolleyes:

Yip I disagree with that analysis purely and simply. Once you learn how to spell I shall take your posts seriously.

I have an Ariel and I love it!

When I opened the box, it was just: WOW!
And, I was amazed she did not break during shipping, the wings looked so fragile.

I remember Tosh75 got hold of the #1 Cammys, and Marky of the green Vega.
Where did the other Street Fighters 1/xxx go to ... anyone on Statueforum?

Alex Pf ex , Sagat pf ex ssc ver. (the PCS web ex.is irrelevant, imho)

That being said,

Akumas' are cool and esp. the Evil Ryu, but I am can wait to see what PCS does with the revisit's planned!

Nice I prefer the look of the Alex Ex over the standard from the pictures of it shown thus far, but in regards to Sagat I prefer the look of the Sagat standard/Ex. The PCS ex is obviously more limited but the I prefer the shorts and need the extra portrait! To each is own I guess :D

I think Chunli EX, Sagat EX and Alex EX will be the most sought after pieces in a while from now.

My personal taste and grail is Guile EX. Maybe in some years he'll be more appreciated.

I know that many of the Street fighter pieces are true grails, hard to come by for decent prices. But the Lion-O Exclusive is my personal grail, for sentimental reasons.

Here is my video review, for those interested ;)

I think that "grail" means objectively as a "difficult to find and expensive". After this, this word can have many subjectively interpretations, for example like "my favorite figure".

lf we use grail as a "difficult to find and expensive" then all figures are grails at the moment that are sold out: Akuma, Ryu, Vega, Zangief, Ken, Morrigan,Cammy and probably Sagat. Some MK figures and some ThunderCats.

I donĀ“t think that Guile or blue/red Chun Li are grails now. Nor Mumm-Ra, Kabuki and Lord Raptor. Can be purchased at fair prices yet and are available.

Guile is not a very appreciated figure compared to others and Chun Li eyes issues makes that many figures are still in the stores. Only black Chun Li can be considered a grail but not blue or red if are not repainted.

As a my "favourite figure" I like many of them but the best for me are Cammy and Ryu.

I would say Shin, Akuma, Evil Ryu, Ryu, Zangief and Green Vega.
Maybe later Black Chun-Li, Alex PCS EX, PCS EX Sagat, EX Sagat and even Reg Sagat.
I forgot all of the prototypes of course.

Im not even a Zangief fan but to me he is my personal grail. I wish he was little bit taller. Guile is my favorite character but Zangief sculpt is sick :buttrock:

yeah I feel lucky to snag one for $900 shipped. It was hard to find him. Everytime I go home, he is the first statue I look at just because how massive he is. The paint on him is perfect in my opinion and the two heads really capture my idea of Zangief :)

I would say Reptile first even though it hasn't released.
