[Andrew]

That looks absolutely incredible! You can feel the intensity!

[Ryu]

YES!

[EnShinNoi]

I'm really liking this one. I'm not a kit kinda guy but congrats to all that are.

[GenoToys]

I'm a Lover of great Sculpts kind of guy....so I absolutely LOVE this Erick!!!! Maravilloso hermano!
:D....any word on the 1/4th scale Akuma? :)

[dark_spidey]

100% Sosa awesomeness

[Artsta]

FINALLY! Looks great!

[Ridimous]

Looks awesome! But do you guys think the part of the brow by the nose bridge looks a little too heavy?

[GenoToys]

Looks awesome! But do you guys think the part of the brow by the nose bridge looks a little too heavy?

He's doing a hadoken...I don't think so....Honestly it looks spot on! Erick captured Ryu perfectly............... :)Can't wait to see 1/4th scale Akuma :drooling:

[El Pulento]

Intense!!!!!!

[OuttaSight]

Looks awesome E !

I really like the flow of the Gi

[cuhan]

Looks awesome! But do you guys think the part of the brow by the nose bridge looks a little too heavy?

I feel the same way. Its more like akuma than ryu on that part. And not a fan of his hair too.

[toe]

i hope the base looks like this

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120328013609/powerlisting/images/8/89/Ryu_Hadoken.jpg

It will add an effect of the power and intensity of the hadouken.

[ZKULPTOR]

Looks awesome E !

I really like the flow of the Gi

Thanks Jerry!

[Ryu]

is it ready?

[Remember Me?]

Are these resin or PVC?

[Freon]

Wow, that's badass. 1/4 scale or smaller?

[BornFreeSF]

Wow, super intense. Can't wait to see this painted up :thumbs2:

[Y3E]

What power. Excellent sculpt!

[ZKULPTOR]

Thank you guys!
Going to mold tonight!!! It is 1/6th but if this does well we can do any scale :)
Interested in an Akuma and Ken versions? Just wondering

[ZKULPTOR]

Wow, super intense. Can't wait to see this painted up :thumbs2:

You'll see him real soon Mark!

[Goldenpanther]

what scale is this ?

This is amazing !

[Andrew]

The Akuma and Ken both look great. At least the concepts you have for the poses. You're talking about the 1/6 Akuma and Ken, right?

[ZKULPTOR]

Yup these are all 1/6th :)

[Andrew]

I would especially be interested in displaying Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Gouken together as a group. How likely is Gouken to happen?

Very! One of my favorites... Plus how can I not sculpt Kenn and Ryu's master?

[ZKULPTOR]

Ryu has been approved!!!
Sneak peek in a bit :)

[GenoToys]

Any News on the 1/4th Akuma? Erick can't wait to see Sagat and Ryu painted!

[ZKULPTOR]

Hi Geno,
We are going to discuss the 1/4 scale line further with Capcom. Will keep you posted.

[ZKULPTOR]

1/6th thank you :)

[GenoToys]

Hi Geno,

Awesome Thanks Eric!

[High Lord Apocalypse]

E, if you still have to discuss 1/4 scale with capcom, would you consider 1/4 action poses?
That sagat, ken and ryu shown so far as perfect. I would love to buy those action poses in 1/4 scale.

The intensity in the ryu statue is outstanding!

[darkdealx]

glad to know of this thread and i for one will be most definately keeping an eye on it!

Production for Sagat began 3 weeks ago or so (Ryu began production last night) preorders will begin in December as our statues debut at the SF25th Anniversary event December 8th in San Francisco! If you look closely you will see we are sponsoring this event :)

[Atheris]

Very cool

Bummer it's only 1:6, this thing is gonna be pretty small. Personally, I think it would have looked amazing in 1:4 or bigger.

[Alucard]

Damn 150!!!! I really want this but I won't have the funds for this by the 8th with Christmas, my daughters birthday and my sisters baby shower all this month. This really sucks for me. Sorry wrong thread. This belongs in The Sagat thread.

[dark_spidey]

Best Ryu ever

[Liad]

I'm confused, it says modelling kit. Does this mean I have to paint it myself? It looks great, but i'm not gonna waste my money if I know my useless talent is gonna be putting on the finishing touches. I was planning on getting all the original world warriors , but now it looks like i'm not gonna get even one :( The sculpt does look absolutely stunning though!

edit: just read the unassembled and unpainted bit. bleh.

that is great, i'll be keeping my eyes out for these then :) Just out of curiousity; what are the prices on these, including the fee of painting? I can't find any prices on their website.

[fenix v.2.0]

Eric, correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't have to pay the full amount during Pre-order time do we?

these will have to be paid in full as they will ship within 30 days. The good news is that they will be available in a batch of 50 on the 8th, when those 50 sell out, the next batch will be put up once those orders have been completed and shipped.

These are being made all here in the US.

[spawnyvsbatman]

WoW that is so cool!!!!!!!!

thats the best news ive heard all year. :thumbs2:

these kits are looking killer man!

[ReplicantSavior]

Easily the best Ryu I've seen.

Where is this video? Was it an inside thing? Maybe there should be a new thread when the site is ready for ordering. I've seen a lot of previews but no ordering yet unless I missed it.

[ZKULPTOR]

The unpainted unassembled model kits will be available for pre-sale on the 8th, however you can request the extra paint /assembly service from our painter. The details will go up on www.prototypezstudios.com on the 8th, please stay tuned.

[dark_spidey]

So will Ryu and Sagat both be up for pre order at the same time?
Or do we have to wait a little longer for Ryu (my wallet wouldn't mind that)

[xxtonezxx]

Even if its 1/6 it still looks awesome! But 1/4 would blow this away definitely! Still, we're getting great sculpts from u Erick! :thumbs2:

[Ryu]

Is mine in the mail, Erick? Come on already! ;)

Hey Erick, what time exactly does Sagat go on presale tomorrow? And what time zone? MST, ET, PST, ect? I wanna be ready!

[loricstone]

Sick of kicking Sagat's butt lol
Thanks! glad you like him.

These look absolutely phenomenal! How much is it total for the kit and it to be painted? Is there a way I can find out about it? I haven't seen any update on the website. Of course I haven't checked in a month.:(

1/6 would be a very good scale for SF line for me I think.

$225 for kit, $200 for a quality painted piece,$300 and up for paint master quality. I'm still not sure if the price tag for the paint includes assembly andlight-up features etc (I sure hope it does).

$224 unpainted. $200 additional for great paint job. $300 for master paints. So approx. $400-500 completed before tax/S&H.

tomorrow on their website, they'll have info on sagat.
sagat is around $225.00 unpainted.
info on ryu later on around $199.99. upainted.
painting will be $200 or you can hire someone from the forum to maybe cheaper. i think the lightup feature is extra. all the info on kit quality, size, etc are available a few pages back.

[Artsta]

Ha everyone is responding! Get hype!!!

Thanks for the responses. I just visited the website and liked the facebook page, so there is no reason why I should not be informed any further.:)

[supermetroid]

:drooling: WOW!! Amazing!! These are beautiful. Is there a chance that you could post a pic of one or both of them next to one of your Koto statues? :thumbs2:

[derekrodneysim]

I am SO glad I'm not a SF fan right now. I'd be in BIG trouble. These look awesome!

[ProtoStudios]

:drooling: WOW!! Amazing!! These are beautiful. Is there a chance that you could post a pic of one or both of them next to one of your Koto statues? :thumbs2:

These are actually first generation prototypes so they maintain they're true 1/6th scale. So it usually means, 2-3 inches taller than Koto or Bowen pieces. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait for fans to do comparison pics. But it's been decided by the masses, that a DVD case will be good to use for scale. Thanks guys :thumbs2:

[Luminous]

Oh no. I was hoping I could avoid this thing.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to. :bawling:

[ProtoStudios]

Oh no. I was hoping I could avoid this thing.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to. :bawling:

Just give in Luminous!!!!! :thumbs2:

With Ryu planned for January, Ken and Blanka approved, and a super sexy Cammy in the works, one release a month is not bad.

But we do plan to make all characters since our license has expanded to the entire SF line.

[chunkster702]

Pure awesomeness. Too bad they don't come painted already. Otherwise the deal would be sealed.

Sickest dynamic SF statues ever!

[ZKULPTOR]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rose shows up sooner than later. We already had her on the roster and already have the sketches. I'll post pics of the Rose turnarounds later.

If you guys (and Capcom, I guess) are actually cool with sharing them, I would absolutely love to see concept/turnaround drawings for any and all of these sculpts!

[Ryu]

Erick, come on, you gotta start on Rose.

[gagaliya]

The sculpt & pose looks amazing, but please please make those plastic flames & hadouken energy removable, they really cheapens the statue for purist.

[Nidgit]

Holy crap . . . I really wish I was more of a SF fan. These look phenomenal. Congrats to all you guys getting into this line. It looks insane :thumbs2:

Man... I really think I'm buying 2 Ryu's come the first of the month... Classic and an Alternate one...

[rhy]

Look how massive sagat is when paired w/ ryu...you truly captured the essence of the characters

[Ryu]

Man, I'm thinking of gettin' 2 or 3. They're in-house, so the quality is high.

[Artsta]

Man, I'm thinking of gettin' 2 or 3. They're in-house, so the quality is high.

That's what I'm saying man! I want a Evil Ryu, I want a Regular Ryu, and I want a custom Black and Yellow Ryu! Real question is, can I bring my self to spend an entire paycheck on all 3 and then another entire paycheck on getting them painted?? AHHHH! I LOVE THIS!!!

[fenix v.2.0]

The sculpt & pose looks amazing, but please please make those plastic flames & hadouken energy removable, they really cheapens the statue for purist.

The hadouken doesnt have to be added. The flames on Sagat, you can add some magic sculpt/aves epoxie and fill in the peg area and a bit of texture itll be gone.

If thats all that is stopping you from getting the kit, let me know, ill even do it for you. You just wont be able to attach the flame later on.

[Ryu]

I hear ya, buddy. I love the sculpt so much that I'd display it unpainted. lol This is exciting to have Erick (one of my absolute favorite artists) doing street fighter.

Thank you for posting this.
It was an honor meeting the Producer, Ono san. I showed him images ( some translucent slides ) of my high school sculptures of Ryu and Blanka, and according to the translator he said " Tell him this is the best rendition of Ryu I have ever seen, he is capturing the spirit of the characters"... that made my year! But like Ryu says... "I must train harder"...

Is Ryu's fireball finalized? I don't want to take the wind out of anyone's sails, but I feel like the fireball is lacking compared to the intensity of the hands it's coming from.

I mean Ryu is just full of power and energy, and there's this tiny little fireball coming from his hands. The face to face with Sagat really puts this into prospective. Judging by the intensity of both characters and the depiction of their fireballs about to come at each other, I'd say Sagat has a clear advantage.

I think it's the size if Ryu's Hadouken. It's underwhelming.

Hi Andrew,
Capcom wanted this to be true to the Street Fighter 2 game not the recent Marvel Vs Capcom or SF4 where his power is more intense. Once we release more characters, he can be redone as a new version from scratch :)

I definitely don't want it exaggerated like in MvC 3, but even in the below picture the Hadouken is bigger and looks more menacing.

I'm not trying to b!tch, just offer constructive criticism. Even Sagat doesn't have flames coming off his hands at the point he's in with his Tiger Shot in the game compared to the statue. But it works well to portray the poses intensity.

Edit: Sagat's Tiger Shot does have the flames at that point in SF 4. I was mistaken.

[EnShinNoi]

Is Ryu's fireball finalized? I don't want to take the wind out of anyone's sails, but I feel like the fireball is lacking compared to the intensity of the hands it's coming from.

I mean Ryu is just full of power and energy, and there's this tiny little fireball coming from his hands. The face to face with Sagat really puts this into prospective. Judging by the intensity of both characters and the depiction of their fireballs about to come at each other, I'd say Sagat has a clear advantage.

I think it's the size if Ryu's Hadouken. It's underwhelming.
It's not the size that counts......

I kind of like it this size. It reminds me of his SFII fireball.

What is the deal with Yoshinori Ono and the little Blanka he carries in almost all of his pictures? He just really like Blanka? It is some kind of his signature thing, it's kinda funny.
He came to me asking if I could glue it.. he must have broken it somehow... his heart was broken... once I fixed it, he went back to his ol' jolly self.

That would be more time consuming for Jorge (Fenix our caster), and for our painter to wire even more LED's electronic into the base.For now that is not an option, sorry.

When is Akuma coming out?
Around May or June, all I know is Cammy will be released before he is, as per requested by Capcom.

You know what I else noticed about Ryu?......the pose. If you look at the game he always has a slight lean when he throws the hadoken, but with the sculpt he looks like he just threw his arms out while he was standing with his back straight and legs bent. When I buy this I'm gonna have to modify the pose a little. Other then that the sculpt is awesome.

[Artsta]

I think the pose is fine, but that hadouken definitely needs to be bigger as Andrew stated. If it's not, I doubt I'll display him with it. And that thing isn't pegged so it can attach is it? The hadouken needs to be atleast the size of his torso. Of course if this means a later release then January, I'd say leave it as it is cause I WANT ONE!

[rfridaythe13th]

the ryu looks awesome!! but that haduken looks more like something DAN would shoot

Thanks guys for those pics! Amazing!

I like Ryu as is. Along with Sagat they are in a "I have just about charged" stance and in perfect pose. I also think that those sculpts would be less meaningful without those "plastic attachments". Consider also the fact that these are not copies from a frame of the game but artistic approaches of their similar presence ingame, so I want them as they are.

But then again I guess everyone has his own taste.

In any way, there wouldn't be a problem if we brought them on stage!

Wow! For a second there I thought that picture was from the actual game! Nice photoshop work!

[StatueHunter75]

Ryu looks soo Epic Erick! I don't have a single critique about him. As long as the price is fair I'm 100% on board! I think this is the best Ryu statue I've ever seen to date!

[StatueHunter75]

I have to know did you base his presence of of my favorite Udon/Street Fighter Artist Alvin Lee?

[Jiggeh]

I agree completely about the hadouken effect... it just kind of sits between his palms and frankly it looks a little puny. Personally I think it might look cool if it engulfed his hands entirely, that way you could also incorporate the effect of Ryu's hands being visible inside the projectile itself, like you can see in the picture Andrew posted.


Seeing more pictures of the statue though there's quite a few things that bother me with it. :( The biggest issue is something Alucard mentioned as well, his stance just doesn't look nearly deep enough for the hadouken pose. Just look at pretty much any incarnation of the move (http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Hadoken), and you'll see he's always in a deep stance with his upper body leaning forward, and I'm just not seeing it in the sculpt.

Another thing I noticed is the angle of his hands. Again, looking at basically any version of the source material, when in the hadouken pose Ryu's hands are at a right angle with the palms facing each other, and often aligned more or less perfectly vertically. It's not as big an issue as the stance to me, but still something quite noticeable and definitely keeping it from looking like a "true" hadouken pose.

Here's some visual aid to show you what I mean:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hOxIFx6CQFI/UMhvEc9t05I/AAAAAAAAHWI/VShOIpST4iY/s800/hadoukenpose.gif


Please don't take this the wrong way... I think you guys are doing awesome work, and there's a lot about the Ryu sculpt that I really love. I realise it may also be too late to make these kinds of adjustments, but since you seem to be open to feedback, I want to share my opinions and contribute in any way I can to make these the best Street Fighter collectibles ever produced.


edit: Oh, and I'm happy to hear that Cammy is cutting in line :D Can't wait to see what she'll look like!

[dark_spidey]

I have to agree with you

The deeper stance does look better

[Alucard]

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hOxIFx6CQFI/UMhvEc9t05I/AAAAAAAAHWI/VShOIpST4iY/s800/hadoukenpose.gif


Jiggeh, thank you for the visual you hit the nail on the head. With that little bit of lean the sculpt looks ten times better. I just hope I can achieve that when I start building this.

[Remember Me?]

Yup, the deeper stance looks a lot better.

[vmcoelho]

I must agree with the majority... the leaning Ryu looks much better =)

[ZKULPTOR]

Wow nice! You fooled me, it took a couple of seconds to realize you photoshopped it lol! Well done thank you!

[Kadmos777]

I still like Ryu as is because of another matter: if he will be made with more "leaning scale" than he will also be shorter in height, won't he? I don't want the statue to feel too short.

Yes, and it will look as he is about to fireball Sagat around his crotch area... :D
I will see about making an even bigger hadouken, as for the stance you guys need to see more images of different angles, will try to upload more.

[ReplicantSavior]

Ryu looks awesome. Now to decide if I want classic white color or Champion colors. I think the statue has a lot of artistic interpretation. He's far more fit and dramatic compared to the videogame version. Things are a bit different but he's still cool.

Maybe if there is ever a victory pose line we could get exact representations of the characters. But I'm fine with the Ryu I see right now.

[gagaliya]

The hadouken doesnt have to be added. The flames on Sagat, you can add some magic sculpt/aves epoxie and fill in the peg area and a bit of texture itll be gone.

If thats all that is stopping you from getting the kit, let me know, ill even do it for you. You just wont be able to attach the flame later on.

thanks for the info good to know those can be removed! i am still deciding, this is a tough one since those are 1/6 not 1/4, they cant just blend in with the existing pcs pieces.

So essentially I have to start another line of sf if going ahead. But the plus side is the sculpt/paint are some of the best i have seen, so is the action pose.

hmm... :confused:

the 1/6th scale line is pretty big, only because they are true to scale. the 1/4th scale is still sometime away, we gotta have a solid cast of SF characters in 1/6th first, before really looking into that line. But IF it does happen, they will be massive.

With Sagat being about 15" tall I assume that Ryu is about 11-12" ?

Will any of the statue base be signed by Erick?

[BornFreeSF]

Erick and co, amazing job on all the statues you have shown us so far.

I think Sagat and Blanka look absolutely EPIC. There's nothing I would change.

For Ryu I agree with the guys. I think he could do with a tiny bit of tweaking in terms of the stance (leaning fwd into the hadoken more) and the size and spacing of the fireball itself.
It's like a 5% difference. But when something is this good you want it to be perfect.
Just my two cents.

This line is outstanding :thumbs2:

[High Lord Apocalypse]

Looks like the 1/4 line is no where in the near future. Really wanted a fresh take on the 1/4 scale soon. I'll still get ryu to go with sagat and stop at that.

So converting centimeters into inches (to the tenth decimal point) and then dividing by twelve, you get;

Sagat: 7'4"

if Sagat was not leaning forward, he'd be 15" tall without the base.

[Andrew]

Oh, you can definitely tell that statue would be a lot taller if he was standing straight up! That would be way too tall to display in your average size case/shelf. Lol

By the way, T Hawk is 1 inch taller than Sagat @ 7'5"!

[ZKULPTOR]

Ryu is 1.75 meters tall.
In real 1/6th should be
68.89764" inches
If you divide that by 6 as in 1/6th the result is:
11.48294 "
So I rounded it off to 11.5 inches tall if standing.

Sagat is:
2.26 meters tall or 88.97638 inches tall divided by 6 equals=
14.8293966667"
So I rounded him to 15" tall if he were standing... this guy is massive.
And since these are first generation copies you are getting, well.... the scale will remain untouched, virtually no shrinkage. So what you see is what you get :)
By the same conversion T. Hawk would be: 15.0918666667 inches tall... I'd say 15.1" :)

yes, and also his left eyebrow is all off. It should be far more bushier, and less hairy.

[ZKULPTOR]

yes, and also his left eyebrow is all off.
The reason by hand the arms being slightly more connected to each other ( there's still a separation but it is not easy to see from that angle) is because the Fireball would have to be much, much bigger to close the gap between each palm, thus making the piece much more fragile, and prone to breakage.
But, let me see what we can come up with.
As for the leaning, I am afraid that would require me to re-sculpt/re-mold, plus this is what Capcom required from us.

I think alot of nitpicking would be gone if they did 360 video previews for the statues, so people can get the whole picture. Alot of the time it's just a matter of how it looks from a specific angle. I agree though, This Ryu's essentially perfect, but I wouldn't mind a size increase in the fireball :p Pose doesn't bother me.

[Artsta]

Agreed. This is thee best Ryu sculpt in the history of Street Fighter products. And the best Sagat. He's perfect. Don't change the eye brows, don't change the stance. Bigger Hadouken? Maybe, but its not crucial.

[Artsta]

Another problem with enlarging the Hadouken is you can't display the statue forward because the Hadouken would ultimately over Ryu's face.

[Liad]

While true, that has always been the case with the games :p Pose him with a slight tilt, and there's not really an issue. Besides, how they pictured him is basically how I felt he,and all the other fighters in this line, should be displayed. Hell, print out a big wallpaper of Guile's Stage and you can really get some immersion going :p

NOOO! they need to get SF chars done first, then move onto other license. Dont want to see them do only main characters and then move onto another license. Only when the majority is done when characters like R Mika, sodom is left then get another license.

I agree. Multiple licenses like PCS has really gets in the way of completing lines. I wanna see SF go atleast until all 12 world warriors are here.

[ZKULPTOR]

Actually both things can happen with me doing all the sculpts for Street Fighter and perhaps in the future hiring someone like Shin Tanabe or similar caliber to take over other Licenses, this is still in the future but the object is to become stronger and more stablished as a company. The purpose is to help me transition from freelancer for others to 100% focus on Prototypez!

SF is my focus and will be until we can make all characters :) why pick and choose just certain popular characters, when we can help you complete the whole line? Am I right or what?

[ZKULPTOR]

I agree. Multiple licenses like PCS has really gets in the way of completing lines. I wanna see SF go atleast until all 12 world warriors are here.

Sorry, I cannot commit to 12 only I have to make as many as Capcom will allow us, I am talking a bunch of them :) 12 is too little.

Hey I want ALL of them! So the more the merry, I just don't wanna see the line put on hold for another license.

That being said. I hope you get the Dead or Alive license! You would do it justice!

[actionjackson83]

King of fighters license would be the only other license I would accept being made at the same time as the street fighter line!

[ZKULPTOR]

Yeah!

[Artsta]

I didn't follow that series, but I would definitely buy Mai... Haha

[MolokoPlus]

I was only asking if they were gonna be getting one. I'm not saying stop doing street fighter. You can have another license and still finish the line.

Who do you think will strike first? :confused:

[Artsta]

Hadouken is already out of Ryu's hands. Tiger Shot hasn't been released yet. Given the distance, they would probably just cancel each other out. (Certified SF NERD haha).

So is that a yes erick?

Don't know yet :)

Quick question regarding bases: How will these be done? I am very fond of Sagat and Ryu's bases: a simple Rock surface. I would love it if the 1/6 line would use rock surface bases and/or 'dojo' wooden floor bases. That way, you could easily add dynamism to the base without it becoming too busy. For example: with Akuma, where he is smashing his hand to the ground, you could have a wooden floor base and have smashed floor boards sticking up and out right where Akuma's hand is.

Looking at the PCS MK9 line - while I like the bases, it's just too much stuff. How this 1/6 line has handled bases so far has been very tasteful - I like it alot!

[ProtoStudios]

The focus is really more on the character, but we're not going the easy route and give you just a round base either. Our intention was to use an element of their stage from the game. But with Ryu and Sagat set-up, we might want them consistent. I'll leave that to our Art Director. :)

Well, we actually have one other license already from a comic artist friend of Erick. But that will be revealed on a much later date :dork:

But for now, all focus on SF. :buttrock:

Awesome!!! I Really think you guys have a lot of potential. We need a smaller independent company to bring us what we TRULY want and you are it.

The word is "quality". To be fair we have to see first in hand but I am very optimistic.

I have some questions I don't know if someone asked them before or no.
How to get a fully painted & assembled statue, do I have to buy it as its and ship it to the painter or all of the process can be done at your site/workshop?
what do you use for packing & shipping?
I hope you add FAQs to your website

Hey Rainy, definitely on it. we have an FAQ, but mostly about assembly. I'll add some more through the weekend and maybe start an FAQ thread here as well.

Here's a quick summary: Our company sells model kits only, but we refer paint services to our in-house painter if its requested. We send the kit to the painter, and he invoices separately for the paint service and exact shipping to you. These are not polystone resin, so the pieces are heavy and sturdy, so they will be bubble wrapped.

While I work on the FAQ, feel free to keep asking questions. Either myself or the guys will definitely chime in. Thanks.

Not poly stone resin? What is it then?

[Andrew]

Found this for you, bro;

...These are not 3rd or 4th generation castings made of Polystone which is basically Polyester resin and filler powder (Calcite stone), which I love as it is a cheaper material for production, but for limited production we are going with resin used for prototyping, Polyurethane... and yes it is more expensive, and for those that may think these will be light,trust me they are heavy, not rotocasted, 100% pure urethane resin, no fillers....Jorge hates using fillers, and I agree with him...

[Remember Me?]

Found this for you, bro;

Cool, thanks! So the ones they are using are better?

Are these kits primed already?

[ZKULPTOR]

No, they come in gray unpainted resin ( no primer no paint)
In terms of quality what you see is what you get.

[dark_spidey]

Hey Erick,
So is this what Sagat looks like right out of the box once assembled?
I don't see any mold lines :drooling:

Yes, there may be minor sanding to do, but the casts are great.

Sorry for the many questions :D
Just to make sure I understand, assume that I paid for Sagat/Ryu in full and asked you to painted than you will cast it------>send it to in house painter which I assume there is no shipping charges at this point------>Painter will assemble it------>paint it as per request----->quote/invoice me with the paint job & shipping charges------>I sent the painting & shipping payment, after confirmation------>you ship it to my address right?
Regarding the shipping you will bubble wrap it and put it inside a brown box right?
I bought a heave duty rotating table and the seller bubble wrapped it and sent it to me, but when I got it, it was broken near the side and half of it was outside the plastic.
I don't want the same thing happen to an expansive item

[Kadmos777]

Good question. To be honest I am afraid nothing concerning the piece except from the way of the box and wrapping/shipping.

No worries bro, ask away, I'll be here to answer and it's actually helpful since I can put them on our website for FAQ and help other SF/PrototypeZ fans as well.

You nailed down the workflow, but there is a shipping charge to the painter (he's in different state). In-house meant he works on our PrototypeZ kits for presentation/shows/etc. Once it makes it to ED, it's a private commission, and everything else you said is right on the money.

As for shipping, Ed has the experience, and your pieces will be well packaged. The original kit box will be included in that shipper as well for collectibility (edition number will be on the box).

We'll be strongly focused on customer service and as each situation arises, we'll give it 110% to make sure you are happy.

[Andrew]

Is Ed attempting a light up feature for Ryu? Or any of the other kits? Maybe just a case by case basis?

[ProtoStudios]

when we get the first casting, we'll send one to Ed for the master paints and see if it will work. So far the kits slated for release, has clear resin integrated into the sculpt, Blanka's base, Ken's Dragon punch. But i'm sure some some characters won't lend well to clear resin, like Zangief, T. Hawk, Balrog, etc.

I have a few more questions:

1. Are these statues hollow?
2. How many pounds is Sagat and\or Ryu?
3. Will there be a color box that comes with the kit?
4. Is it hard to put it together? Any recommendation of glue that I should use?

[MISFIT]

simply amazing!! Erick your skills are insane dude!!!,

These pieces are solid cast, so they have weight to them. Sagat is close to 7 lbs. Not sure yet about Ryu.

The packaging will be a matted black box with colored print on the top with the edition number on the box. The statue will have an edition number engraved in a plate on the bottom of the base.

Definitely not hard to assemble. I'll let the others chime in on the type of glue to use. But the pics of the website are of one that is glued without any primer. Hopefully, we can have tutorials up for assembly as well on the website.

[Vince-Vell]

instaCure glue is what i use for customs and kits. Good stuff. cures fast, doesnt create white residue on painted items like super glue does.

They also make insta-set that when you glue and then spray that onto it, it sets in a second. and it doesnt harm paint.

watch this video, i use the glue and show ya how well it works
