Before I commit can I see a pic of the Oni design?
Also is there any info on how large the dio will be when inter connected? Dimensions?
The ES is 350 right?
Also are there versions / EXs?
Do you have the USF4 licence? Or Street Fighter universe?
What other characters to you have planned? Will they all be dios?
When will this be shipped roughly? Also, when is Oni reveal and ship date.
Sorry if this info is somewhere else but I couldn't find it on your website.
Thanks!

Thanks for your interest.
We are still exploring the pose and the design details as we want to push the dynamism of his pose even more.We'll revealing him soon.
ES limited to 300 worldwide. We will QC every single piece before they ship. Our friends at XM have been very kind and helpful to guide us in terms of dealing with production hiccups.
We have whole universe and we have some cool dioramas planned. Some of the less popular characters but unique takes/scenarios for the more beloved ones as well. But ofcourse we'd like to hear what the fans/collectors want to see from us. We will spare no effort in doing the very best and give you guys something unique and dynamic. Our artists are pro animators who emphasize on pose and portrait of the sculpts.
E.Ryu is planned to ship early 2015 and Oni to follow by mid year.
Do you guys use stickers on your statue?

This pose capture the raw essence that is evil Ryu... great work. It would add a level of realism if the veins were painted a light translucent blueish grey, similar to what they did to Sagat . Also does this sculpt have a switch out head?

FYI, we are actually going to polish and improve some of the details before we hand him off for production and vein details is one of them :)
As for the alternate head, we wanted to do one with the reguilar short hair, but Capcom couldnt approve due to costume branding issues.

Hi I ordered this. Some things which I think can be improve is the base. It looks like a roof on a stone/concrete? Maybe you add more details instead of just concrete / stone at a the bottom. It would really be nice if it is an actual part of a house or temple at the bottom.

Great ideal. This would unify the overall feel of the base a bit more

:goodpost: Excellent suggestion! I'll definitely address this. We also planned to update the color of the tiles and give them a bit more of a greenish tint to make them feel organic and less concrete.

This doesn't light up, does it? If not, that paint on the eyes and chest is great. It really seems to glow.
The fireball...it clearly splits in half for assembly. Is there any way to conceal it better? The upper and lower half look a little too symmetrical as well.
Great job overall though!

This is our first product. So we are new to this. But we wont be releasing the product unless we are happy with it. We will delay it if necessary if the quality doesnt meet our expectations. Having said that, XM has been very helpful and kind to us. They are guiding us on the production and so we are more confident in delivering on time. For the shipping, we will ship from Asia but we will ensure that its affordable and gets to customers without any hiccups. We are also trying to have a warehouse in the U.S so that customers there dont have to pay a bomb for shipping.

Are pre-orders going well? Is it possible it will be canceled if there isn't enough interest? I still think you guys need to "advertise" more.

Currently the plan is to have atleast 3-4 characters a year. We want to do characters that havent been done before or atleast do something different with the more popular characters.
Speaking of Gouken... he has been done a few times, but how many of you would like to see us make him in some crazy diorama ? :)

Gen, Oro, Fei Long, Abel...some of my favorites that get no love. Oro would be another good pick for your levitation experiment.
I'd like to see how your super heavyweights scale w/ the rest of the characters, e.g. PCS Zangief is an amazing sculpt but because of it's stance, when paired w/ other SF statues, he seemed a bit undersized. As opposed to Sagat who is scaled down accurately. Also, will you guys release Honda? I'm passing on PCS version.

I would love Gouken vs Akuma. Many might be sick of the two however. You are of course familiar with the diorama PCS put out recently? I have and love it, but many were disappointed with breakage issues, so I think the market is still there for it.
If not that, then any two of Gouken, Gen or Oro fighting would be cool. Pick two of those old masters to face off. I'd probably say Gouken vs Oro.
Fei Long vs Gen (Chinese martial artists) or Chun Li vs Gen (friends with Chun's father and trained Chun) would be excellent match ups.

I think it would be cooler if all the individual pieces had a notch in their base that would allow two bases to connect to each other to give the fighter vs fighter diorama. Or you just don't attach them and you can have the solo look... it would allow flexibility... Just a thought....
For me personally, I'm not to interested in the demonic characters like Oni but once you guys start doing the other more popular characters I'll definably be in to buy..

Thats how it will work for E.Ryu and Oni and the ones to come. Not really a notch but we'll build Oni's base to fit with Ryu's base so that the bases feel like they are part of the same rooftop. :)

Usually we refer to in-game moves for inspiration and then modify the pose to best fit the context and make sure it works as a statue. Most important of all is to make sure the pose represents the character :)

We are trying to keep the shipping to as low as possible. Definitely not half the price of the item. We will have an estimate next month :)

Its great to see our efforts come to fruition. We will always keep pushing our style as far as we can. We not only hope SF fans to have our work in their collection, but we are glad to see those who appreciate our style show interest even if they are not necessarily into the brand or genre.

I did watch Ninja Scroll with my Art Director last month. While we love it, we are not sure yet if there's a market big enough to justify the license acquisition. Having said that, its not out of the question. We are definitely exploring classic anime licenses that we'd love making dynamic statues of :)

We are definitely exploring other licenses that suits our style and announcements will be made when the time comes ;)
I did watch Ninja Scroll with my Art Director last month. While we love it, we are not sure yet if there's a market big enough to justify the license acquisition. Having said that, its not out of the question. We are definitely exploring classic anime licenses that we'd love making dynamic statues of :)
well thats incredible news. cool that you guys watched it.
what did you think about the film? pretty killah huh? lol
and i would think that there is a large market for it. probably mostly in Japan and other Asian countries but i know there is a pretty big following here in the States and im sure in other countries as well.
no one has never made any. or only one. Jubei.
man it would really cool if you guys did get the license. but i also understand if you dont if you dont think you can make a profit.
question though. if you were to make them. what scale would you do them in? i would like to see them no smaller than 1/5th scale.
thansk for the info man.. ill be following closely to see if and when you get these license. :thumbs2:

We have to study the market more. Its definitely a badass anime that we dig. Although what do you think of its popularity to say a classic like Kenshin (Samurai X) ?
We prefer 1/6th as its a common threshold for most regions. Asian homes dont have much space so 1/6 is borderline. However, we are starting with 1/6 cuz we like to make big combinable dioramas so our 1/6 scale statues are easily bigger than a 1/5 museum posed statue.

Also, museum posed statues are boring and not worth the money. I can get a poster/art print/comic cover if I want a standing pose. Statues need to be dynamic.

well, if you picke dup the Ninja Scroll licnese and only did 1/6th scale figures then i guess thats better than noting. and if they are going to be in dynamic poses and the bases could be interchangeable to display a diorama .. that would be cool.
as far as Samurai X im sure there is a market for it. although i am not too familiar with that anime as i am with ninja scroll. but considering the Asian market would be the larger one. im sure you would have no problem selling either one world wide.
reason why i im saying ninja scroll is because of the popularity of the film and the fact that no one has ever produced all of the charters as statues for that film.
i would be more than happy with 1/6th if that means i could purchase all of the main characters and Villains form that film.
im really hoping for that to happen from a company some day. maybe it could be you guys..time will tell.
hopefully your findings of the market will prompt you to pursue the NS license.

Shoot! The Market for Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) is huge. Heck they released a new live action movie of it a couple years ago (still need to hunt it down). I'd love to see that done in your guys style, especially with the dynamic poses and diorama bases! As it stands I do not own any figures from the show/manga because none of them are cool enough or are in dynamic dioramas, but I would jump on that instantly if you guys put them out!! :flash:

Did you order the GSC Colossal Titan in the order window? It looks fantastic.
It's not scaled so I don't know what license GSC has. I ordered the PVC Mika and Eren and I know Levi is on the way.
I'd like to see a good sized Eren Titan statue (not PVC).

Why is nobody interested in creating decent 1:4 scale Akira statues?
In general, do you guys make 1:4 scale statues, is probably a better question?
As you say. Most of the anime stuff is covered at 1:8 PVC scale. But that doesn't mean there isn't a market for bigger more detailed statues like the stuff GSC is pushing out.
Do you have any licenses beyond Street Fighter? I love Street Fighter and can't wait to see what else you have in store for us next. But I am interested to see / hear if you have other licenses coming.

I personally havent watched Akira (I know, its sad) but hope to eventually. For us to work on a brand, we have to be fans of it first and foremost. This way, we not only enjoy the process of making the statues, but also able to represent the character well... atleast we hope we can :) Then we look at the saleability and what we can bring to the table different from what has been done before.
We were actually considering 1:4 for our next license. However, considering the diorama we have planned, it might be too big and costly for both collectors and general fans of the license. But we'll see how it pans out.
So yeah, we are definitely in discussions for other license acquisitions, eventhough we will keep the SF stuff coming in. We will make announcements in the near future. But ofcourse, it also depends on everyone's support/suggestions. We just started and still have a lot to learn and grow. We will always give our best and hope that more people get on board with our work.

And it's the same price as going straight thru Kinetiquettes.

Shipping will cost more from our end as it will be sent out from Asia. However, we understand the concern and looking into how we can provide the lowest shipping cost possible for our U.S based customers.
Having said that, those who ordered directly from us will receive their's earlier. Also they get first dibs on Oni PO as we anticipate that he will be sold out faster than E.Ryu :)

The sample we received still had issues that needed to be fixed. The missing purple trail was one of them which we has been addressed and we will be receiving the final sample in a couple of weeks time. We'll be posting photos of it soon. Here's a sneak at what it will look like :)

The pre-order print actually comes with every pre-order regardless of our site or BBTS.
Another perk not mentioned is that, for a limited time, the early POs get a discounted price. For E.Ryu, we had 10% off the total price for the first couple of months. We'll do the same for Oni (for a shorter period of time) and those who ordered E.Ryu from us will be notified first so that they can take advantage of this offer :)
Hmm damn didn't know you got both prints. v0v will see shipping costs to US for evil ryu :) Hopefully not to high or maybe I should stick with BBTS for Oni.

Hey Kinetiquettes
Thanks for the update in the recent newsletter.
Can you help me understand the production process.
In the letter you say:
"We have already iterated twice on the samples they sent us, but we will finally be receiving the completed sample this week."
But before you have received the final sample they have already produced the bulk of the statues based on the pics you showed.
So I guess I'm confused. What change can you affect at this stage?
Was the final issue with the face? Which is not in any of the production line photos?
I don't work in the industry so am genuinely curious.
I thought they'd keep sending you samples until you say OK this is approved, now you can produce 350 (or whatever the ES is).
Or did you approve the body and the base already so they could get started. I mean those pieces are painted.
Or can they be painted over?
Again, my main question is at this stage what chaneg can you affect with the sample given how far they seem to have come?
Looking forward the Oni teaser!
Cheers
Mark

Sorry for the confusion, Mark. Its as you assumed, the body and base were approved in the first sample they sent us so they went ahead with the production of those. Surprisingly the face came out well even in the first sample. To avoid cross eye issues, we actually sculpted the pupils so the painters can follow the direction correctly.
The 2nd sample had issue with the Hadouken color so we asked them to iterate on that. Furthermore, the hair and drapery needed to be of slightly more flexible material to avoid breakage issues during shipping. So they are sending these final changes before they actually start mass producing these parts :)
Although this time around the iteration process was quite long because of our request to split up the model into the appropriate parts and make the hadouken seamline less obvious (you will see some of this process in the next video diary).
For Oni, we did the splitting ourselves and the sample iterations should be quicker and less work on their end. We realized that the more we ensure the sculpt meets the production requirements, the lesser chances of issues in the sample.
We did post a teaser of Oni's sculpt in the newsletter. We'll be doing a full painted reveal and announce the PO date soon :D

No it's not just you. This is something we are aware and getting fixed. The factory got the colors right but the surface finish is something that needs to be rectified. The clothes need to be matte and skin less glossy for sure. Also the lighting of the photograph amplifies the gloss lol.

That's the sample. Even if what has been produced so far are glossed, it's a matter of applying appropriate matte finish over what's already there.
Even after approval of the paint sample there can be issues like this that pop up durimg production. We already highlighted to the factory to deal with the issues that we are not satisfied with (including the gloss).
We are heading for a final QC check next month to rectify anything else that might pop up. Every single piece will be checked and must meet the expected standards before we ship them out. If all 300 has any issue, all of them needs to fixed. No compromises.

That is one impressive portrait, also gradient effect w/ his hair is a real nice touch.
Actually the gradient effect is a result of the transparency gradient that we have on the tip of the hair. So during the photo session, the translucent area caught some of the lighting which caused that interesting effect.
Another interesting fact is that the hair is a slightly softer material than the rest of the body to reduce chances of breakage during shipping :)

Reverse image searches.

Both useful.
But I actually just googled cats and lightning I think and then looked at the images.
I'm guessing you got 1:4 Scale because PCS must have given it up.

Really? Lack of sales of a 1/4th line? How the heck?! I know their 1/3rd stuff is selling like mad, why is it that the 1/4th has dropped off?
I mainly have 1/6th, but recently have gotten into some 1/4th and really can not see the point and space for something larger or the advantage to it.

You can definitely get our Art Director to do one for you if you want. You can check out his stuff here: www.keatopia.com.
On a related note, there's a premium art print planned with all the key shadowloo members :)

There's a lot of "talk" on the forums. That's why PCS/Jerry never really know how a PO will go.
As far as I could tell people really liked the Tygra statue and then nobody bought it.
PCS lines die quick if one statue fails.

They tygra got like 150 preorders :< If they did it again now maybe since it's all the PCS hype and such but it def seems like TCats just isn't as popular. It looked quite good too. Their 1/4th stuff still sells pretty damn well, see raiden selling out with site crashing ^^ A lot of it is that they've garned a good rep through following through lines, listening to customers feedback, showing wip, and just overall doing an awesome job on their statues. They definitely weren't as popular before, and like I said tcats just wasn't as popular ;p

I think the lack of sales was due to the character/line itself, not the scale. MK and SF seem to still be going fine.
Not enough people care enough for TCs to not only want to buy a 1/4 statue of but, much less be able to...

it just wasn't great timing, if he did it now without the Sideshow involvement I think it'd go much better. sure he isn't the most popular but it was still Tygra so to say it was poor character selection is silly to me, I mean it's not like it was Willa or one of the Berbils that killed the line.

Same here.
I buy statues because I like the game/movie/serie/anime from which they are taken.
I bought your Evil Ryu and I will buy your Oni because I'm a huge fan of Street Fighter and because I really like the "dynamic V.S style". This is why Kinetiquettes and PrototypeZ are my favorite companies in the "Street Fighter's statues" market.
Even if your Thundercats's statues are very nice, I will never buy them because I have totally no interest in Thundercats.

Because with the great VS style you did with this piece I would LOVE!!! to see a number of anime fights brought to life by you guys!
Or if it is just Capcom that you have connections to right now, some amazing Monster Hunter dioramas would be STUNNING! Or some of their other games (Asura's Wrath!!).

I'm sure Kinetiquettes and Paypal are ok. Probably just a small math glitch on the website.

Not 100% sold on the rough sculpt style. I prefer a more polished finish. Overall a great addition to my 1/6 collection.
Finally got a moment to enjoy this beauty. To me, this statue personifies the physique that dominates the street fighter universe. The hand crafted sculpting renders each piece a unique representation and though there are minor abnormalities, you can't help but appreciate the level of detail attributed to the piece. Teh most impressive aspect of the statue is the level of precision in distribution in the paint and resin. The fireball essentially glows despite the lack of an internal light and his eyes just glare at you with an almost eerie quality. The statue certainly emits evil ryu's demonic persona and his action stance flows perfectly in bringing the game to life. Overall, it is quite a beginning.

Its normal as both legs are not anchored to the base. They can be adjusted based on what works for you. :)
Unfortunately I have to leave the vast majority of my collection boxed up for now, this piece included but I opened him back up last night to check on a couple things and take a look at it again and man is it really an awesome piece. And man oh man is the hadouken ball awesome, best effect I have seen on any statue hands down. I highly recommend it if you can still get one, if not I'm sure Oni will be awesome as so far they have gone above and beyond in making sure their stuff is top shelf. Thanks again kinetquettes!

Saw the review. Ordered with Oni. Looks pretty diesel. Hadn't even heard of your company until that review, but glad I did in time to order.
Missed out on the PCS line, and have been dying to get into SF statues. Looking forward to the brothers dio, and the levitating Bison.

We believe they had some issue picking up their stock from us due to their forwarder. They are trying to sort out the issue on their end asap.

Thanks for the update! :thumbs2: I was just worried that my preorder might be cancelled. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

After watching all available videos on Youtube on this piece, I put in an order so this will be my first Kinetiquettes statue. What sold me on this piece was the dynamic pose, the energy/spirit from the piece, the piece being a diorama, the muscle sculpting, the meticulous detailing, the fireball with no cheap LED effect, and finally the videos showing the production stages. Everything was very impressive. I already put in an order for Oni and can't wait for whatever you guys have in store for us collectors.

From what I'm seeing so far, your dedication to a quality piece and to make it as perfect as possible and to listen to your fans resembles the start-up company XM Studios. As long as you keep this up, you should have no problems with having a large fan base.
