Update 7.14

[OuttaSight]

Just wanted to give an update before the week of SDCC

My main computer crashed last Monday with everything I need on it and its still not fixed...they are saying *maybe* tomorrow.

Between that and making sure the MOTU Skeletor lifesize bust is ready for SDCC i havent had much time to post or read.

I wanted to send out a newsletter today but all my pics are on the broken computer and the pieces were sent to China so i cant even take new pics.

If the computer comes back tomorrow I will send out a newsletter, otherwise it will have to wait until we get back from Comic Con.

However, things are great. The SF Dhalsim 1:4 is now approved and will be going up for pre-order August 5th

The Skeletor lifesize bust should be going up for pre-order July 29th

He-Man is finally done and approved but we want to give him a few weeks distance between the Skeletor bust. So expect him to go up for pre-order on August 19th

Finally the lifesize Akuma bust will go up for pre-order August 26th or September 2nd (still deciding)

We are also ready to announce a new license that i think most of you will dig...but Im saving that for the newsletter.

As far as shipping updates, Kitana is on the water. Shao Kahn will be leaving China August 20th. Alex's fabric caused us some delays but he is now scheduled to leave China September 5th.

I have in my office the final approved samples of Gouken v Akuma, Judge death and the Ryu lifesize bust. I had pics to show but alas they are on the broken computer. So i will show when I get back from SDCC

For those who are in touch with Audrey for Sagat replacements. Poor girl is overworked and getting ready for SDCC has put her behind. Dont worry she will get back to you as soon as we get back from Comic Con

Finally...we discovered a huge error on the website. The customer service form was going to an incorrect email so we didnt get any of them until recently. We have now changed it so when you fill out a customer service request it goes directly to Audreys email.

So sorry for that.

We are a growing company and a bit understaffed so theres some bumps in the road. Thanks for being patient !

[Oni_Akuma_1982]

Thank you so much for the info Jerry, really appreciated !

Good luck for the SDCC ! Can't wait to pre-order the Akuma Bust ! Btw, can we have the info about the EX for Akuma bust Jerry ?

:)

[dechirico7]

Aww...no Evil Lynn?

[GenoToys]

[Klear Knives]

[ReplicantSavior]

Hopefully some surprises not mentioned will show up at SDCC. That Chun Li diorama and her fully sculpted Alpha version...

[Ricky Bobby]

Nice to hear Alex will be shipping in two months

[s_paulik87]

So Shao Kahn is 2-2.5 months o from being in hand if everything goes perfect! Can't wait!

[Ren_dog]

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES JERRY!:thumbs2: DHALSIM AND THE AKUMA BUST ARE A MUST!:rimshot:

[Spazzy]

Looking forward to the skeletor bust.... Unless it falls completely flat I am definitely getting!!

[loricstone]

Glad to see you are alive and kickin. :thumbs2:

[hofmanjc]

Great news, can't wait for Dhalsim.

[MONSTER]

Where are you set up at SDCC?

[Batminator]

Where are you set up at SDCC?

If I remember correctly, PCS doesn't have their own booth at SDCC this year.

[OuttaSight]

Where are you set up at SDCC?

We're not.

Mattel loves the Skeletor bust so much they are displaying it at their booth.

I have to bring it down and set it up Tuesday.

Capcom wanted to display the Akuma bust but we couldnt get it done in time :(

[redhulk27]

Thanks for the update. Is The life size Ryu bust still arriving on time.

[Spazzy]

Do you have an idea on edition size?
Would love to get one but $600+ isn't easy to come up with right away with so much already pre ordered, if it is real limited alot won't have a chance to get it :(

Mattel will give it some good exposure... hopefully not set too low

[MONSTER]

We're not.

Can't wait to see the Skeletor bust in person in a few days!

[BarrelCannon]

CTRL+F + Alex

Good to here it's just a minor delay :D. I can't wait!

[ReplicantSavior]

I thought PCS had a big presence at SDCC last year. Seems everything might be scattered about this year. And almost confirmed no Chun Li pieces at SDCC...Oh well, perhaps later in the year.

Still curious about the new property.

[Darkhumor]

Hell yeaaah!! Shao Kahn entering earth realm August 20th. Schweeet!!

[Atheris]

Nothing in the update about Goro :(

Chris

[Lionore]

Great job Jerry! I can't wait to see how He-Man turned out.

May i ask if you are planning on releasing a Lion-O bust at some time the future? or you have dropped the license?

[Spazzy]

Since SS is kinda dropping the ball I hope PCSC gets TMNT would love to see a 1:1 bust of Shredder

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

Sweet Thanx for the update

[s_paulik87]

Since SS is kinda dropping the ball I hope PCSC gets TMNT would love to see a 1:1 bust of Shredder

Sadly Jerry said he thinks ss did a great job and he wouldn't go for the tmnt license. =( I would love to see pcs tmnt pfs

[Spazzy]

They did a good job, but 1 they are already done with the main characters just secondary characters, that I worry about won't support the line, 2. they are comiquettes, jerry could get the 1;4 license? , and 3 no way is SS going to do 1:1's

[dao2]

Still curious about the new property.

Chun Li already released why would their be Chun Li? Yeah they showed some stuff but it was all at SS booth since they were their distributor. They aren't anymore so that won't happen and I don't believe PCS ever had their own both yet.

We were still represented by Sideshow last year so we were in their booth.

We are independent now and unfortunately couldnt get our own booth as they are sold out.


Great job Jerry! I can't wait to see how He-Man turned out.

The Tcats license expired last November.

[Atheris]

Jerry,

I thought I remembered you saying Goro would go up for PO somewhere near comicon...that still on?

Chris

[Liad]

Hopefully some surprises not mentioned will show up at SDCC. That Chun Li diorama and her fully sculpted Alpha butt...

Fixed it for ya.

Anime Nerd hopes for new license:

-Dragon Ball

[Drakull]

If most of us will be happy with new licence, you can be sure it is not hajime no ippo...

Maybe SNK ... Haomaru 1/4 mixed media made by PCS ....omg

[Mitch07137]

:praying: or Hanzo

[Klear Knives]

Definitely Ippo!

[Niero]

Jerry, no luck on the computer? :(

[actionjackson83]

I would buy every freakin statue of a Hajime no Ippo line.... even if they were 1/6 scale to keep costs reasonable, and I wouldn't even mind PVC!!

[DeadGhostKnight]

Wow thats some bad DBZ art.

[Klear Knives]

I would buy every freakin statue of a Hajime no Ippo line.... even if they were 1/6 scale to keep costs reasonable, and I wouldn't even mind PVC!!

Another ippo fan! I agree if they were 1/6 I'd buy em in a heartbeat.

[Quest99]

I would buy all DBZ. Make it happen Jerry. :buttrock:

That's just awful.

If anyone makes DBZ statues please base it on the original art.

[GenoToys]

DBZ license would be sweet!

[Oni_Akuma_1982]

Yeah ! Original arts are awesome ... The possibilities with the dioramas are insane :)

[OuttaSight]

Well I need to give you guys a sad update.

Mattel couldnt find room in the booth for the Skeletor lifesize bust. I am VERY disappointed but nothing I can do.

it was bigger than they expected (even though I emailed the sizes long ago)

[3stun]

As far as shipping updates, Kitana is on the water. Shao Kahn will be leaving China August 20th. Alex's fabric caused us some delays but he is now scheduled to leave China September 5th.

Thank you for taking time and giving us this update, Jerry! So is there any chance to start shipping Kitana to customers in July?

[chunkster702]

That sucks. I was looking foward to the reveal... Potential to be my first large bust.

REALLY want to see He-Man!!

[Ricky Bobby]

That is a sad update,can you at least tell us when will we see pics of Dhalsim?

[Spazzy]

Thanks for the update. Is the Life Size Ryu Bust still going to release around August/September?
Thanks, in advance.

[chaggs1]

:hi:Jerry I recently received the Sagat Exclusive with some defects ie missing toe nail and ripped shorts. As Sideshow don't have any replacements do you have any spare body I could purchase and shorts?

I did send you an email while back but it must have got lost when your PC crashed?

Don't we already have 2 threads for this?

[Liad]

Chaggs1 - please stop posting those same pictures of that same old broken Sagat of yours. You keep posting that stuff over and over again, enough already. We get it, you're butthurt over your Sagat arriving damaged, but they are out of replacements - life sucks.

Statues arriving damaged isn't uncommon, and it has happened to me several times. Live with it.

(I wasn't gonna say anything when you posted this again, but when you edited in those pictures my blood started boiling.)

[chaggs1]

Yes but when I don't get a reply I need to make sure it doesn't get lost in the threads especially with all your idiot comments and bull :hilarious:

:peoples: ... Boiling for that ? lol

[vinnnie]

chaggs, I understand your frustration but I can understand others opinions about this. You should email Audrey (if you havent done that already), even though she is swamped with emails right know, I'm confident she/they will get back to you, you have to be patient. I'll pm you her emailadress.

I look forward to receiving it mate.

My frustration is with Sideshow and the time taken to even look at a replacement. Then when I email the customer service manager at Sideshow to make an official complaint and still waiting for a reply 4 working days while I was told by Live chat operator would only take 2 working days.

I have also emailed PCS directly and find out that PCS PC has crashed which is no fault of anybody to see if Jerry can help with a replacement.

If anybody's blood is to boil then it's mine for the time I have waited and then to read the crap that comes out of Comicbookguys mouth also doesn't help.

[Liad]

:peoples: ... Boiling for that ? lol

I've probably seen those pictures about 8 times on this section alone, posted all over the place, and I am sick and tired of it. Contact the proper people, and stop wasting bandwidth. Constantly posting these pictures all over the place is just attention-seeking at this point.

Hey I been there with broken statues and no recourse. I know what your going through. It's not fun at all. Keep your thread going that you started just no need to post it in 3 threads for the same thing. That is all I'm saying. I myself would as well but I recommend it's best to keep sagat with the sagat thread. Wait I'm not a mod am I? :p hmmm maybe I can be a future mod? ;)

[GOUKI999]

Jerry please consider acquiring the DBZ license!!! Or the BERSERK license!!! WOW just imagine Guts in 1/4 scale with Jerry's sculpting style!! O_o

[akumalove]

Hey Jerry, thanks for all the updates.
Will the Dhalsim PO on the 5th of August be for the PCS exclusive version only or the Sideshow reg and ex?
If it's for the PCS EX will he go up for PO again on 3pm pacific time?
Just want to make sure I don't miss him, because I'm out of town on that day. :eek:
Thanks a lot

Well I need to give you guys a sad update.

it was bigger than they expected (even though I emailed the sizes long ago)

I got an idea.

You give me the Skeletor bust, i'll show up to SDCC running around the con holding the bust above my head shouting SKELETOR BUST!!!!!! SKELETOR BUST!!!!!! SKELETOR BUST!!!!!! , like Ace Ventura holding the great white bat, shouting shi-ka-ka! as he stopped the bloodbath between the Wachati and Wachutu tribes!

This will bring peace to the Con.

:thumbs2:

ah that sucks man, it was high on my list to look out for.. but ah well, nothing you could do about it obviously.. I'm sure it would have stopped alot of people in their track

[halfamazing]

Thanks for the updates Jerry. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing Balrog!

But just to throw a spanner in there... There's no reason for anyone (let alone a business) to not have backups. just sayin'

[Oni_Akuma_1982]

Hi guys .. I need your help.

Do you think the Akuma bust will be available for 2013 ? I know, the first deposit will be asked (if i have the chance to pre order it :praying:) end of Augustus / September but i have to estimate the other payment !

Thanks for the help :)

[Whirl Wind Boy]

my guess is second payment around december, final payment/shipping right before chinese new year (february). Just a guess though.

[Oni_Akuma_1982]

Thanks mate

[s_paulik87]

If it's going up for po end of August or first thing September it will most likely go the way of Sagat and get delayed by Chinese new year and you will get him next June/early July.

[s_paulik87]

So is the skeletor bust displayed at sdcc ?

[majestic1]

Nope, Mattel couldn't find the space apparently.

[s_paulik87]

So nothing pcs at all made it to SDCC? Wow that sucks

[Ricky Bobby]

Seems pretty stupid of Mattel to pass on displaying the Skeletor bust at the most famous event in the world.A piece like that could really draw some attention...i wonder what lame thing they couldn't just put aside for it

[redhulk27]

They probably couldn't move their Life-Size Gwildor figure. Since he was such a hit in the movie.

I also was a fan of Morph,perfect pic of him

while I agree the bust would've done well there, they are the biggest toy company in the world so it would've been a much bigger Boon for Jerry then them, just imagine if they did a licensing deal that would allow him to sell his He-man stuff over at mattycollector, now that would ensure the line doesn't suffer the Thundercat fate for sure

When it comes to busts,the market is small.I think if it was on display,possibly ppl and or collectors who are unaware of this item would of been quite impressed,which could of helped future sales for this.Whether it was an impulse buy for some,or just the cool factor seeing this in person,the word of mouth would be generating some great buzz at Con,especially now after the success of the Sub Zero bust that has grabbed Marv's and DC's attention.Either way you are right,in the end it hurts Jerry more than Mattel
