Could someone please post a full body picture of whichever version this is based on. I'm unfamiliar with the 3D games.

This looks to be based off his Super Castlevania IV incarnation.

It most likely is. They like to stick to official poses for their stuff and there really aren't many they can do for Simon unless they want to make their own.

Happy to see the line is continuing! Just a bit surprised Simon is up next. I thought Alucard was leading their poll from a while back.

I'd totally be OK with that! That was the first game I ever played from the series and loved it.

[qz33]

So is this likely to be 1/6 scale?

[ZenLogikos]

I don't love it yet, but I'm all over anything Castlevania.

Me too and from the teaser image, looks like it could be. This is always the first art image that pops in my mind when I think of Simon Belmont.

So is this likely to be 1/6 scale?
Yes. It wouldn't make sense otherwise having Dracula in a different scale.

[actionjackson83]

If this is 1/4 scale it's so bought... along with an Alucard in 1/4. Screw it remake Dracula in 1/4 too

[Swordsman]

I want Alucard. :p

[BLADES OF STEAL]

I'm in! Where and when?

[ReplicantSavior]

When is the reveal? I hope this isn't a let down. A Simon statue will be perfect to go with my Castlevania map print.

Bill Mudron (that I just googled)? I must have that.

Seems like they're limited prints, but I can't find an ES. Perhaps he reprints them occasionally?

I love it. Zelda too.

That's it. I thought it was more limited originally but I think he prints them once a year. Or maybe he did another run when he updated the site to a newer format. It was different back when I got the print.

[BurningRage]

Yes

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Really love the attitude in that portrait. This is going to be an awesome piece.

[DeadGhostKnight]

Looking forward to a full reveal.

[ZenLogikos]

The whip should look so great in statue form. Not a common element. Hopefully no breakage issues.

Hope Death is next.

I ordered the ex.

[DeadGhostKnight]

It looks great. $440 is pretty pricey i know peopel are moaning at SS and PCS but it seems the high price is happening across the board.

I love that it's 1/4 but i'm also annoyed that the Dracula piece is 1/6. I like my lines to be consistent with scale.

[EnShinNoi]

I don't think Castlevania is ever going to be a game I'll immortalise with a statue. It was always about the pixel art, music and adventure. A statue can never capture that.

This statue isn't bad, it just doesn't mean much to me. There's a tonne load of statues that don't mean anything to me that are a hell of a lot better than this. I love the various dark-fantasy creatures that fill Castlevania and their many origins of inspiration, which is why I'm better off focusing on Court of the Dead.

[Swordsman]

i will get alucard only.

[FullmetalPain]

Since I'm kind of a weaboo, I wanted his Japanese/Gothic look. Never was a fan of his Conan the barbarian look.

[qz33]

Redo Dracula in 1/4 now please.

Can we get a custom whip please? Cause you know this just screams this and all:

http://www.firebrandx.com/downloads/castlevania1originalcoverart.jpg

And no I don't care if it fits in your besta.

[qz33]

Since I'm kind of a weaboo, I wanted his Japanese/Gothic look. Never was a fan of his Conan the barbarian look.

Yeah this would have more widespread popularity right now.

I'd be totally down for a an entire line of accurately rendered figures inspired by Ayami Kojima's art.

Statue collectors would go nuts.

[BurningRage]

Whip is probably adjustable.

[qz33]

Whip is probably adjustable.

Oh please yes! But if so then why didn't they pose it better or metion it?

[Valkyrie]

Just judging by some of the close-ups, the whip does seem wired to me. If it actually is, I agree it would have been a good selling point for them to mention.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

This piece is just too awesome. It's so expensive though, but Castlevania means a lot to me and this represents the best Castlevania game. I love how mean the sculpt is. Simon looks really intimidating and it's very dynamic.

My plan is to display him with perhaps ARH's upcoming Medusa. Should make for an awesome diorama.

I hope F4F makes this into a line. Definitely need a Shanoa

[qz33]

If this is 1/4 scale it's so bought... along with an Alucard in 1/4. Screw it remake Dracula in 1/4 too

If this comes this well painted this statue will be absolute greatness. So glad they switched to 1/4. Now remake Dracula in 1/4!

[samhain81]

Super dissapointed. There was nothing stopping them making the exclusive chain whip just as long as the normal whip. When did he ever use that pansy ass ball on chain?

[BLADES OF STEAL]

Ex ordered

[ZenLogikos]

I'm not aware of any weapon with the proper name "Short Chain", as F4F puts it. It's a flail. You could use one in Symphony (at the earliest, I believe).

The whip upgrade icon that would drop in Castlevania, however, looks like the flail. That's probably their inspiration.

[AlizAbef]

He did use the short chain in the first Castlevania, so the short chain used on the statue is legit. Don't you guys remember? The whip could be twice upgraded. Belmont starts with his regular leather Vampire Killer. Then it could be upgraded to boost it's attack damage (making it into a short chain Vampire Killer). Then it could be upgraded one last time to lengthen it.

[BLADES OF STEAL]

I keep staring at the pics. This came out fantastic.

Sounds like you arent much of a Castlevania fan in the first place.


Some of these comments about the chain, are really telling of how old some of you are. lmao!! The morning star was used as an upgrade. It went from vampire killer, upgraded into a smaller chain whip, and then another upgrade to a longer morningstar chain whip.

IMO, the Castlevania series died when they decided to take a major change in direction after Super Castlevania 4, with a downgrade of Symphony of the Night. Dont get me wrong, SOTN was good. But I felt we'd have an evolved series up to this day if they kept with consistency of the first 4 games. I loved the last two Lords of Shadows games. It felt more like a Castlevania, a feeling I hadnt had since the originals. The first Castlevania: LOS was a masterpiece. And very close to what Castlevania should have been a long time ago.

Good call dude. I forgot that it was called the morning star. I have a question...for those of you who've already placed an online order through First4, when do they ask you for your credit card information? I'm about to submit an order for this, but I'm at the part where I'm about to hit the 'place my order' button; however, First4 has not asked me for my credit card information yet. All they've asked me for so far was my billing information. Should I hit the button anyway?

[qz33]

Yeah it is the very last thing.

[AlizAbef]

Yeah it is the very last thing.

Thanks man!

[EnShinNoi]

I'm one of the biggest but I stopped following when it went 3D.

Just because I'm a Castlevania fan and a statue collector, doesn't mean I have to buy this...

Batman is my favourite comicbook hero but I don't own a statue of him because I don't like any enough. Think of how many different statues of him are available.

If you're one of the biggest then I assume that means you played all the handheld games right? Because that is a good half of the game's entire legacy and some of its finest games.

The franchise has always been known for its art direction and music. When they changed the main artist to be Kojima, it became legendary for its unique blend of Japanese style and classic Gothic art. A statue of it therefore is a no brainer.

That being said, this isn't based on Kojima's Simon, but still based on Simon nonetheless, and he's an icon of gaming history.

I understand you don't want the statues of it, but I really don't get your logic here or why you're posting it. There are plenty of Batman statues that capture everything one would want from Batman. Likewise, this is basically a perfect statue of Simon from Super Castlevania IV. You might just be really picky, or extremely stingy.

[Valkyrie]

Don't mean to derail the thread from the statue, but has anyone here been following the upcoming game by former Castlevania series producer, Koji Igarashi? It's called "Bloodstained:Ritual of the Night" and it's going to be a spiritual successor to the Castlevania series. He also recruited some of the series' veterans to work on the game. It was one of the highest funded games in Kickstarter history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodstained:_Ritual_of_the_Night

Considering Konami is a shadow of its former self, it may be a long time before we see another true Castlevania game so I'm looking forward to this.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I never trust those spiritual successor sob story kickstarter games. If it turns out great, I'll pick it up. Otherwise, I can do without it. Igarashi acts like he is the sole reason why Castlevania is legendary, but in reality he was only a part of the SOTN and the games after it, and was of course part of much bigger teams filled with great people.

Castlevania is my favorite franchise and my favorite thing about it is that it had an incredible run from NES all the way to Nintendo DS with something like a 90% amazing game track record. No other franchise lasted that long with that many games and had them all be great like that. A lot of people constantly beg Konami for new Castlevania games, but the franchise has so many I don't see the point.

I do like the art style for Bloodstained and the character design though.

[ZenLogikos]

Yeah, that's essentially what I said. Except what the statue includes is an actual flail/morning star, not a "Short Chain" whip. There's a difference between an actual weapon called a morning star(flail), and what Konami "branded" as the "Morning Star", and even the "Morning Star" power-up.

Yup, I participated in funding. Just $60 tier, as it was my first and probably last venture into kickstarter. It doesn't seem to be a flaky prospect like kickstarter can be, but still, I didn't want to chance getting screwed out of a lot of money.

Metal Gear, Mario and Zelda.

[BLADES OF STEAL]

Surprised the ex isn't sold out yet. 299 is a pretty low edition size.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

F4F never sell out quickly.

[oddmania]

Any idea if it will be available @bigbadtoystore.com ?
It'll cost a 180$ for international shipping?!!

[BLADES OF STEAL]

F4F never sell out quickly.


The Lucky Cat Mario sold out in under an hour.

[ZenLogikos]

Anyone else notice the expected delivery of this? First quarter 2016! At most - FIVE months away?!

The only thing I've ordered from F4F so far has been Dracula, and that had a 10 month turnaround, which was great and abnormally quick for this hobby. Can this time frame be taken seriously?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

The Lucky Cat Mario sold out in under an hour.

Wow really? I never expected that statue to be such a hit. I stand corrected.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Just placed my order. This one was a no brainer for me. I hope they are able to get him out quick and keep the line of 1:4 Castlevania going strong.

[BLADES OF STEAL]

We need Dracula next and then "Armored" Simon from "Simon's Quest" aka "Belmont's Revenge".

[gomur]

Belmont looks awesome!

I'd love an Alucard as well. :thinking:

[DeadGhostKnight]

Alucard has to be coming. SOTN is forever.

[Valkyrie]

I honestly thought Alucard would be up next due to this poll they ran on FB a few months ago.

http://strawpoll.me/4707210/r

Simon came in a distant second. I'm perfectly fine that they opted for Simon since he's the first protagonist in the series.

[ZenLogikos]

We need Dracula next and then "Armored" Simon from "Simon's Quest" aka "Belmont's Revenge".

You want another Dracula, followed by another Simon?

I'm all for multiple incarnations of these characters, and F4F is a good company to be doing just that, but I'd rather some others next.

I'd take multiple Deaths, but I've mentioned before that I'd love Castlevania IV Death most of all. Translucent blue cloak. Pulsing red LED.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Dracula would be a fair next statue since the one from LoS is irrelevant and I'm surprised they even consider Simon to be part of the same line as that statue.

Alucard is most likely the next one though. I wonder how they will handle his outfit. That's the sort of piece one would expect to be mixed media and going by F4F history, I would imagine his cape would be fabric and the rest of the outfit would be sculpted.

The order I'm hoping for is Alucard -> Shanoa -> Dracula -> Richter -> Death

I think it would be foolish to do Death this early. Part of why it took so long for Ganondorf to sell out, in my opinion, was that there was no Link companion piece already out. It is best if they establish a lot of characters, especially Dracula, to give people incentive to pickup Death to complete the line.

[ReplicantSavior]

Anyone know what else the sculptor worked on? This Simon statue is amazing work. He's definitely someone I'll follow in the future. I've been listening to Castlevania music ever since they put Simon up for pre-order. I cannot wait.

I don't think Castlevania is ever going to be a game I'll immortalise with a statue. It was always about the pixel art, music and adventure. A statue can never capture that.

This statue isn't bad, it just doesn't mean much to me. There's a tonne load of statues that don't mean anything to me that are a hell of a lot better than this. I love the various dark-fantasy creatures that fill Castlevania and their many origins of inspiration, which is why I'm better off focusing on Court of the Dead.

But this captures Simon from the original NES Castlevania cover and the Super Castlevania 4 artwork. It's perfect for old school Castlevania fans. The cover art was the selling point back then. HappyConsoleGamer has an episode where he talks about this aspect. I remember seeing the cover and thinking the game would be awesome. And it was. This is the perfect representation of Simon to me.

Yeah this would have more widespread popularity right now.

I'd be totally down for a an entire line of accurately rendered figures inspired by Ayami Kojima's art.

Statue collectors would go nuts.

I prefer the original Simon art to the new version even though I like the art style. But I would be interested in a statue line with Ayami Kojima's artwork starting off with Shanoa. Has First4Figures made anything in that style? Seems more suited to a Japanese company. I would get a statue of Richter too. But he's drawn in an anime style. I don't think they've done that either.

He did use the short chain in the first Castlevania, so the short chain used on the statue is legit. Don't you guys remember? The whip could be twice upgraded. Belmont starts with his regular leather Vampire Killer. Then it could be upgraded to boost it's attack damage (making it into a short chain Vampire Killer). Then it could be upgraded one last time to lengthen it.

Yep I think some here are younger or getting too old...

I guess they went with the short version to contrast because we are getting the long version of the whip.

Don't mean to derail the thread from the statue, but has anyone here been following the upcoming game by former Castlevania series producer, Koji Igarashi? It's called "Bloodstained:Ritual of the Night" and it's going to be a spiritual successor to the Castlevania series. He also recruited some of the series' veterans to work on the game.

Considering Konami is a shadow of its former self, it may be a long time before we see another true Castlevania game so I'm looking forward to this.

I'm looking forward to Bloodstained. I'm hoping that it's Iga's masterpiece. The castle artwork is beautiful.

Konami is pretty much finished. I won't even mention the next Castlevania "game" they teased. It doesn't deserve mentioning.

I never trust those spiritual successor sob story kickstarter games. If it turns out great, I'll pick it up. Otherwise, I can do without it. Igarashi acts like he is the sole reason why Castlevania is legendary, but in reality he was only a part of the SOTN and the games after it, and was of course part of much bigger teams filled with great people.

A lot of people constantly beg Konami for new Castlevania games, but the franchise has so many I don't see the point.

I do like the art style for Bloodstained and the character design though.

Are there many spiritual successor Kickstarters though? I can only remember a few. And with Bloodstained, Iga did look around for publishers. It's not like he went straight to Kickstarter. There is a good developer play video with him on youtube where he talks about how the Symphony of the Night designers added stuff on their own. I found that interesting. Also what parts he worked on.



Yup, I participated in funding. Just $60 tier, as it was my first and probably last venture into kickstarter. It doesn't seem to be a flaky prospect like kickstarter can be, but still, I didn't want to chance getting screwed out of a lot of money.

I haven't had a bad Kickstarter experience yet. It seems to be the new thing for people & news sites to attempt to question Kickstarters. I don't know why. Yes Kickstarter is like an interest free investment with little if no protection. But the ones I've donated to have all been fine. Maybe I've just missed the bad ones. Mighty Number 9 seems to have upset a lot of people. Honestly I didn't understand why the guy that was almost at the top of Capcom would need to have a Kickstarter. Or at least I can't remember his reasoning in the Kickstarter video.

Surprised the ex isn't sold out yet. 299 is a pretty low edition size.

And it's a real exclusive like exclusives should be. Not like the Sideshow and other recent exclusives. Who doesn't love the cross weapon and want the occasional chain whip switch out?

[ZenLogikos]

It is best if they establish a lot of characters, especially Dracula, to give people incentive to pickup Death to complete the line.

This seems to imply that Death is unwanted/not that desirable. Is that true? I dunno. He's certainly one of my favorites. I probably just want Draculas, Deaths, and the Belmonts.

Which depiction of Dracula do you want?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I'm not saying he is unwanted. I am just saying that people would want him more if they had other pieces alongside him. I would imagine Death is going to be less popular than the protagonists or Dracula.

As for which version of Dracula, it is a hard call. Most will say Symphony of the Night Dracula and that one is cool. The Dracula x Chronicles one looks awesome, but my personal favorite is the Order of Ecclesia Dracula. I think that one is a nice combination of the two and captures the best elements of both (the intimidating look of the Rondo one + the classy attire from Symphony of the Night).

One problem with Dracula and Death however is that F4F has yet to actually do much mixed media and I can't imagine either character's outfit would look nearly as good if done fully sculpted. Then again, Death's design from IV would probably lend itself to being sculpted. Symphony of the Night Dracula especially would seem like a waste of mixed media potential and I guess that's fine since Simon is fully sculpted.

It's weird as I have Sideshow's Dracula and I think a lot of the charm of that piece is the fabric attire. If F4F made a mixed media Dracula, I could pose the two together and have them facing off against Simon and whoever else they release. Would be awesome.

EDIT: Then again I thought Ganondorf's Wind Waker design wouldn't translate well without fabrics and they made it work just fine. I've heard many people say mixed media is inferior and just a gimmick, and I think I'm starting to agree with that so maybe F4F should just go for it and make the whole line fully sculpted.

I'm down for pretty much anyone though. The hardest sell for me would probably be Soma, but if they sculpt it based on Kojima's art then it would be an easy buy for me. Kojima is one of my all time favorite artists.

EDIT: Then again I thought Ganondorf's Wind Waker design wouldn't translate well without fabrics and they made it work just fine. I've heard many people say mixed media is inferior and just a gimmick, and I think I'm starting to agree with that so maybe F4F should just go for it and make the whole line fully sculpted.

I'm down for pretty much anyone though. The hardest sell for me would probably be Soma, but if they sculpt it based on Kojima's art then it would be an easy buy for me. Kojima is one of my all time favorite artists.

Dracula X, Order of Ecclesia - excellent choices for Drac. Less nostalgia for them, but they are arguably superior designs. My only problem is I haven't spent nearly as much time with them as I have with the earlier games.

But, I just received my Dracula Ex today, and while I was reconsidering the purchase due to not loving LoS2, I think I'm in to collect all the Dracs and Deaths they produce.

So F4F said the vampire killer is made out of pvc. Can pvc be poseable?

[AlizAbef]

I've never known of anyone to say they've posed PVC the way they want it to go. I probably wouldn't make an attempt to do it, nor would I wanna heat it up to try and bend it around in different poses either.

I don't mind not being able to bend it around...it'll make the exclusive morning star that much more desirable. To me anyway.

[ZenLogikos]

It's possible that it could be bendable, but I'm not sure how poseable it could be. Where did they say this? Social media or email? I'd like to contact them about a couple items on Simon...

Ah, thanks.

I wonder if an email would be taken more seriously?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Hmm that's a huge bummer if the whip isn't poseable. I think with vinyl it would have been possible. Maybe they thought it would be too much of a hassle? Might be hard to make it look like a whip and still allow it to be posed in midair freely.

[Darkhumor]

If it's not at all poseable, why wouldn't they make the whip look exactly like the box art had it depicted, the exact same way they have the statue to the art as well? Makes no sense.

[Drahmin]

I agree. we need the SOTN line. Alucard, Dracula, Death, Richter, and Maria. Perhaps boss characters as well such as Shaft, Olrox, Galamoth, etc.

[Drahmin]

Considering Konami is a shadow of its former self, it may be a long time before we see another true Castlevania game so I'm looking forward to this.

I fear Castlevania LOS 2 was the last game of the franchise to be released from Konami. Konami own the Castlevania trademark however I'm predicting the company will close down in a few years and all of their assets will be sold to other publishers.

[ZenLogikos]

They must not think it's a big deal. I think it is. We should all be emailing them about it.

[Valkyrie]

I don't know. In the product pics, it just seems to me like the Vampire Killer is wired and poseable. I mean did they come out and say it's not poseable or just that it's made of PVC? This could still mean it's a soft, flexible PVC material around a wire allowing for some poseability. I was thinking it could be similar to what SSC did with their Catwoman's whip.

Where do we even email them? All I can find is a contact form on their website. Is that the only means to send feedback besides Facebook?

[ZenLogikos]

User question on facebook:

"Hi,
Can you please tell me whether or not, if Simon's "Vampire Killer" whip is made out of a poseable metal coil?
Thanks!"

F4F replied:

"No, PVC."

Someone followed up by asking if it was poseable at all, but there hasn't been a reply.

Thanks. Yeah, their answer kinda leaves it open to interpretation. It really doesn't confirm or deny if it's poseable. Just the fact that it's not a metal material on the outside. Wish they could have elaborated on that a bit.

[ZenLogikos]

I got a reply from F4F! Customer service thanked me and claimed they would forward my requests to the production crew, and there was another F4F address CC'd...so they appear to be listening!

If you feel strongly about the whip and/or chain, I'd suggest making your voice heard through the website contact form.

[BerenKaneda]

Im not sure about this figure... Its more expensive than Dracula and I dont understand why so much price difference... BTW and to be sure:

Regular one: Whip and cross.
EX: Whip, cross and Flail?

I dont like the Flail at all so in case I´ll fail and make the preorder i think i will just go for the regular one this time.

I agree. we need the SOTN line. Alucard, Dracula, Death, Richter, and Maria. Perhaps boss characters as well such as Shaft, Olrox, Galamoth, etc.

Yeah we also need a Beelzebub in scale!!! :eplus2: Just joking.

No reading or research skills whatsoever.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

He's definitely overpriced I'll agree about that. Pricing is my biggest problem with F4F. Their sculpts aren't usually as intricate as other companies but they still charge the highest prices.

I suppose the QC makes up for it though. I've never had a problem with any of their products. Only time was with the Zelda statue as she turned out quite different from the prototype, but luckily I had cancelled that prior to her shipping out anyway.

Yeah...so, Simon is 1/4 and Dracula is 1/6. Regular is whip and pointing finger. Ex is flail and cross. I thought the website was pretty clear.

[ReplicantSavior]

So F4F said the vampire killer is made out of pvc. Can pvc be poseable?

Seems like they made it PVC so it would hold position for the pose. But not be so stiff to break in shipping. Since they didn't say it has a poseable wire like Hot Toys usually does with some of their capes. I don't think it's poseable.

Anyone here have Sideshow's Catwoman? How does that whip position hold up over time? Right now I would take a longer chain whip than a poseable normal whip. I'm kind of fine with the way it looks now.

[Darkhumor]

I just shot em an email through their contact section on F4F website. They got back to me really quick an CC'd them on the email stating about my requests to have a longer chain and poseable vampire killer. If you guys are in on this piece as well, wwe might get some changes if they get more responses of a request to change them.

[Valkyrie]

Looks like the fans' voices were heard...

From FB:

"Good news Belmont fans:
1) the whip was originally in a fixed position but we saw that you guys wanted to have it poseable so we changed to to the attached. Now you can pose it how you like.
2) The short chain has now got motion to it and has thicker links and is longer. The original one is on the top.
Hope you guys like the tweaks!"

Great changes. I think the exclusive es would've been lower for this is they did the two week thing they're doing now.

Fantastic! This is quickly becoming my most anticipated piece.

So cool!! Thank you all for taking your time out emailing F4F to get some changes with this. This is one character that is much deserved of special treatment. Now I don't have any second thought of canceling. lol!

[qz33]

Yeah this change is a great thing.

[Drahmin]

IMO, the Castlevania series died when they decided to take a major change in direction after Super Castlevania 4, with a downgrade of Symphony of the Night. Dont get me wrong, SOTN was good. But I felt we'd have an evolved series up to this day if they kept with consistency of the first 4 games. I loved the last two Lords of Shadows games. It felt more like a Castlevania, a feeling I hadnt had since the originals. The first Castlevania: LOS was a masterpiece. And very close to what Castlevania should have been a long time ago.

I don't believe the series died after 4. Castlevania Bloodlines and Dracula X (Rondo of Blood) were good games. Bloodlines I think is underrated and sadly overlooked only because it was released on Sega Genesis just before the next generation hit (Playstation/Nintendo 64).

If anyone hasn't played Bloodlines I strongly recommend everyone to try it. Dracula X is also good but very hard specially with the boss battles.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I'd say the biggest reason you don't hear more about Bloodlines is the lack of ports it had. Even today it is hard to play the game legally unless you straightup have a Genesis.

I'm amazed they have never made a good Castlevania collection that has all the 2d games.

Yes, You're right. In my case I do straight up have a Genesis and the game. I have had them since they were first released.

In my opinion the original Castlevania, CV 3 Dracula Curse, SCV 4, CV Bloodlines, and SOTN are games everyone should keep for the rest of their life.


The Metroidvania GBA and DS Castlevania games were great too.

Yes, I concur. I didn't mention them because they were released much later and not in the early-mid nineties era.

Never had any problems with them and we own almost every statue they put out :)

[Valkyrie]

I only own two of their pieces so far, but I had a minor defect on one piece which I reported and they eventually replaced. I wouldn't say I had to fight them on it, but I had to wait a few weeks before the replacement was approved. From my experience, they seem to have a long, drawn out process for this sort of thing. Not what I'm used to with a certain other company, but they still took care of me in the end.

[BurningRage]

I received five statues direct from them and never had a qc issue.

[Drahmin]

Dracula was my first piece from F4F and I had no issue at all.

Still the series never really evolved until we got Lords of Shadow, which were a lot more closer to how Castlevania 1-4 was, in its 3d aspect, and how they felt to the games back then. LOS made me excited about the franchise again.

LOS was a good game. Unfortunately LOS2 wasn't and it may have been the final game of the franchise. Publisher and owner of the franchise, Konami, is currently on the brink of self-destruction.

I have never had a single issue with F4F. They are probably my favorite non Japanese statue company right now because they deliver in every regard

- great customer service
- hands down the best packaging in the market
- reasonable cancellation and flex pay policies
- great sculpts and actively seeking cool licenses

They are just an all around awesome company and I find most of their products look near identical to the pre order pictures. Only exception so far was Zelda. Not really sure what happened there.

With companies like Sideshow or PCS I am always nervous how the finished product will be. With F4F I am never nervous. I always assume I'll get exactly what they showed and I have yet to be disappointed. Trust is the greatest thing a figure company can have imo.

What was different in Zelda?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I would have to look into it again to find the concrete differences but if I recall her face and the paint apps looked quite different and we hadn't really been warned about the changes beforehand

After looking at Sideshow's Skeletor, I want to see a Death statue to go with Simon.

I should have ordered the pink exclusive!

[ReplicantSavior]

I thought the chain would be even longer. But it's still better than the original chain.

[ZenLogikos]

FYI, a couple days ago on fb, people starting posting that they have received notification for first payment on payment plans, so this guy is coming within a couple months.

Also, Alex of F4F confirmed that Death and Dracula are both coming (no surprise of course).

[ReplicantSavior]

Death is a good surprise to me. I can't wait to see what he looks like. I hope they try to make Medusa too.

[Drahmin]

Death and Dracula?? that's great news!!!

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I wonder which version of the characters they will use. Dracula looks radically different in almost every Castlevania game

[ZenLogikos]

One version really can't do Dracula or Death justice. Hopefully multiple of each are in the cards, but based on Simon's sales, I doubt it.

I can't wait to get this statue, but honestly I'm not feeling the box art design. Luckily I couldn't care less about the box lol

[ZenLogikos]

I passed up some high quality 'scan and print out' 11x18 box art of Castlevania when I was at a game convention a couple weeks ago. It wasn't very expensive but I thought I could do just as well on my own. Now I wish I bought it.

Simon Belmont unboxing:
https://youtu.be/I072-OJOvsQ

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Just got Simon. Fedex did not knock or ring the doorbell, which is frustrating. They keep doing this for my statues. I don't like the idea of having a box that huge just sitting outside and me not knowing about it.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I'll take some pictures of him tonight, but my first impressions have met my expectations of the company thus far.

In general I always say that the strengths of F4F in general are

1) Their packaging is top notch. Best of any company I've personally ordered from.

2) Their license grabs are excellent and they cover an area of the hobby mostly unexplored.

3) For the most part, what you see is what you get. They do a great job making the production model match the prototype.

Simon lives up to that. His arms and legs have visible veins you can see and the paint job on his skin highlights his muscular body quite well.

He has visible stubble on his face and parts of his neck and his eyes have a slight blood-shot look to them. The eyes are not 100% successful in this regard, but all in all I say they work and that combined with the stubble really give you the impression that Simon has been through hell and isn't done yet.

The whip is particularly interesting. It is poseable, but the material is foreign to me. It has slight resistance to it, but bends to your whim. It reminds me of a twig almost in the way it acts under pressure, but obviously it bends rather than snaps. Still, I do not feel comfortable adjusting the whip so for now I went for a moderately reserved pose. I think I might manually heat up the whip with a hair dryer and then be much more forceful on the exact pose I want.

One thing that caught my eye is actually the base. I never paid it any attention during the preorder process, but the finished base is quite cool. There are vines and a tree stump on some dark grass. It gives off an eerie vibe that suits the game well (4 is one of the most moody/atmosphere heavy Castlevania games imo).

He actually reminds me a lot of the PCS Alex. Like Alex I'm not too happy with the way his hair came out. I imagine blonde hair must be hard to do or something as it comes out somewhat bubbly in the back and has a mix of colors to it. It looks great from afar, but not nearly as nice up close. Unlike Alex though, the body has the veins and paint apps that work well for muscle definition.

I was worried the face wouldn't turn out well as F4F doesn't have much experience doing more realistic sculpts, but it actually worked out great. I love how much attitude Simon has. I get tired of reserved sculpts. He looks pissed and I love it lol.

The cross is a nice touch and though it is small it seems so important to the overall pose and attitude of the piece. It's a great addition to the statue.

All in all if you can't tell I am very pleased with the result. I might sound a little unenthusiastic, but I think that's because the long wait desensitized me. This is good though and how I always wanted statue delivery to come. It has been so long that he just sort of came out of nowhere so now I'm very pleased as the hype had already vanished long ago. It's like getting a gift randomly versus on your birthday.

So yeah I'm all in on this line of 1/4 Castlevania statues. Generally speaking I love all the characters and it is still my favorite video game franchise of all time. Great job F4F!

[ZenLogikos]

Awesome review detail man. Good to hear.

Regarding the whip, if it's rubber, I wouldn't heat it. That will only accelerate the deterioration. In fact, if it is rubber, it will need care to remain moisturized, to prevent cracking. Is there any documentation included regarding the whip?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Ah good point on the whip. I'll refrain from using heat on it :D

Here's a few photos for everyone. As usual they won't look nice, but they should help tide things over until we get the heavy hitting photographers.

One thing that came up while I was taking these photos are the pegs he has for his shortsword and bootstrings. The one for his left foot is being held against gravity and it kept falling out for me. Basically anytime I move the statue that part falls out. The sword peg seems pretty loose to though I just might not have it in right. I think glue might be needed for the shoe one down the road, but for now it'll work.

If you really want to pose the whip you need a lot of space, but the freedom you have with it is awesome. I would love to see that sort of thing more often with statues like this.

[SkyPirate82]

Thanks for the pics, Gyro. Love the ones with Simon warding off Lugosi Dracula.

[Dreamland]

WOW they really nailed this piece!!

Looks solid and sturdy A+:radior:

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Yeah he's very awesome. He takes to lighting really nicely too. The sculpt casts shadows in just the right places. It's an awesome piece.

They showed off a revised Alucard sculpt not too long ago as well and he's looking even better. They confirmed they plan to give eyeshadow and such around the eyes to capture the eccentric aesthetic of Kojima's art. I'm excited to see how he looks painted.

[samhain81]

Looks good. Just can't get over the ridiculous shipping price increases. Despite having an EU warehouse, I have to pay 65gbp now for delivery. Not even Sideshows delivery cost that much and that was coming from the States.

I hear you my friend. I'm a Chilean collector and the shipping for Artorias to Chile is 245USD. It really packs a punch to my wallet. The only thing that I'm hoping for is that, somehow, taxes don't outright massacre me for such a high price tag.

[samhain81]

Might as well have tax, since they've slapped on every charge onto our shipping price from god knows where to the EU warehouse.

For you they ship it from their U.S. warehouse so I think there should not be any duty to pay (thanks to ALENA) but you will have a tax to pay on delivery (because it is a big package that will very likely be intercepted by the customs) Here in Canada it is 15% of the price of the item. So about 70 U.S.D. Not sure if it is the same % in Mexico.
But...yeah, 245USD is huge...didn't think of buying the regular from Play-Asia? They offered free shipping! Seriously the two extra swords and the print are not worth the extra 245 dollars to me :peoples:
EDIT: and maybe there will be extra brokerage fees to pay. It depends how F4F ship their stuff to Mexico (Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc...)

To be honest, I'm seriously considering it (I really like the print, and the fact that I ordered right on time guarantees me a low number). The thing is, here in Chile, import taxes are 19% of FOB price, that is, price of the item+shipping (a rough calculation of course, there are extra custom fees to consider). A conservative estimate is 1.3*FOB price, so you see, taxes are a grim shadow...

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I can't get over how awesome this piece looks on display.

[ReplicantSavior]

F4F and the sculptor should be commended. This is easily one of my favorite statues. I never really thought we would ever get a Simon Belmont statue but now we do. As far as I can tell it's just like the prototype. I was listening to Castlevania music while setting him up. Even the shorter chain whip which I thought wouldn't be that good has a lot of flow to it.

Now I have to get on with framing my Castlevania map print. I want to get a custom or old style frame that matches the style of the games. That and a few other things to complete a display. I'm curious about the other characters that they will make in the series. If they are up to this standard, it will be amazing as Simon is a true show piece. Anyone who was holding out or not sure should get it before it's too late.

[bruhaha69]

Man, he turned out pretty sweet.

[oddmania]

Any international buyer hasn't received an order update/shipping notice?
Contacted them twice but didn't reply?!!

Simon Belmont (Castlevania) EX 1:4 Statue 54/299 - First 4 Figures

Die Monster! I love this statue! I'm a huge Castlevania fan and frankly we don't have much to put our hands on so this is great. the pose is great, the sculpt is awesome, the whip(!) is amazing!! Check out that 5-O'clock shadow! The cross is a nice touch and the flail is really nice but honestly who wouldn't display him with the awesome Vampire Killer?
Now the execution isn't perfect, his left foot tends to hover ever so slightly and as you can see the base as what appears to be humidity spots. But I don't feel like dealing with a return so I'm just going to say that they're rain spots because obviously near Dracula's castle it's storming...
Now bring us Richter, Alucard and Dracula!

Just got Simon. Fedex did not knock or ring the doorbell, which is frustrating. They keep doing this for my statues. I don't like the idea of having a box that huge just sitting outside and me not knowing about it.

Yeah that happened to me too. Went to walk the dog and there was my statue.
I'd been home all day and they never rang the bell.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Fantastic pictures! Hopefully they will help show people just how amazing this statue is. The sculpt is top notch and the paint apps are great.

Great pics. You forgot to put the ties in his boots. I didn't know where those went myself. I guess I could have looked at the pic on the box. But I was searching the statue for where those pieces went...

[Drakul]

The what?
You don't mean the tie that goes in the back of his head do you?

[Killer Instinct]

So this is no longer available? Tried to place an order on their website and it wouldn't go through :(

[Gyro Zeppeli]

He comes with two string things that you put on the top of each of his boots. I was scratching my head for a long time trying to figure out where they went lol.

And yeah I think he was waitlisted on F4F, but if you check Ebay and their Collector's Page you can probably get him for below retail. I think their early 1/4 statues held their value but it seems like a lot of their new big things just drop in price on the aftermarket.

I can't really imagine Simon going up in value over time.

[Valkyrie]

I received Simon today and wow! I agree with the stellar reviews.

F4F killed it. Everything from the sculpt to the paint app is beautifully done. The Vampire Killer and flail are so cool!

Pictures don't do it justice. Very quality piece. Congrats to all who picked him up.

[ReplicantSavior]

The what?
You don't mean the tie that goes in the back of his head do you?

There are two smaller ties next to that one in the box. Look at the holes on the top part of his boots.

They could have included a small instruction sheet since they have the one for authentication in the box.

You never know about prices. Maybe Castlevania fans just don't know about this statue. It's classic to me and will be tough for any other company to beat.

[Killer Instinct]

I dont understand how they still offer it on their website but won't let me order it. The Dracula isn't available obviously but if this piece is no longer available they should remove the option to purchase it from their website.

I'd like to get it and make payments monthly for it than to buy it and pay in full off someone in ebay.

[ZenLogikos]

I'm pretty sure the website is in the the middle of a redesign, so some stuff is falling through the cracks. For example, they now accept paypal, but you have to contact them directly, until the new site is up.

[actionjackson83]

I wasn't going to order this but online pictures made me and I got my regular today and let me tell you he is ever better than I expeced. Very impressed with the paint job the factory did on this, and the sculpt is so very detailed. The wire is some heavy duty high gauge stuff that's really poseable. 10/10 on this, a very pleasant surprise.

Thanks! I completely missed that when I opened him up for some reason.
He's even more awesome now. :buttrock:

[BurningRage]

The shipping box was huge. I got #12 ex.

[Killer Instinct]

Can someone be so kind to take pictures of the issue with his left leg and the humidity spots on the base please?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I'm not familiar with either of those issues. Where did you hear them brought up? I mentioned that the string attachment on his left boot can fall off, but that's only if you move him around.

[ZenLogikos]

The statue settled and the foot rests fine now and I noticed the same spots on actionjack's statue so it may actually be by design.

[testsubject25]

Link is working for me, but thanks lol

[actionjackson83]

They're not humidity spots really. It's not a paint issue with bubbling or anything, just painted spots in the rocks.

[First4Figures]

Those spots are as design intended:)

[Valkyrie]

I figured they were supposed to represent rain drops. Honestly, I didn't give them a second thought.

Thanks for confirming, F4F.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

They had an interesting choice for Ganondorf's base too and it looks to be a similar style with Artorias base. I just think it is one of the many cool things about F4F's style.

[Drakul]

I figured they were supposed to represent rain drops. Honestly, I didn't give them a second thought.

Yeah that's what I had kinda of assumed. Thanks for confirming. I LOVE this freaking whip!

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Me too. I positioned it more to look like the artwork and it's just so epic. The whip being poseable turns a 9/10 statue to a 10/10 for sure.

[Gannon]

The more I look at this - the more I think a SOTY contender!

[ZenLogikos]

Me too. I positioned it more to look like the artwork and it's just so epic. The whip being poseable turns a 9/10 statue to a 10/10 for sure.

Maybe even 11/10, because F4F was so receptive to the community on both whip changes.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Yeah I'd say this may be deserving of the rare 11/10 lol. As a long time Castlevania lover I couldn't have been happier with how he turned out

[Drakul]

Likewise

[First4Figures]

Oh wow, you guys! This has turned out well, but to receive the support for Simon and the nomination. That would be super:)

[testsubject25]

EX waitlist just converted for me. Pretty stoked, especially given the glimpses of some other stuff coming!

[Dandoc]

Just got this statue today and love it. Wasn't able to get the exclusive unfortunately, just the regular. Would have loved the cross! Oh well. There are worse things I suppose!

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Glad you like it. Truly an awesome piece.

[Dandoc]

Glad you like it. Truly an awesome piece.

I absolutely love it. I distinctly remember the original artwork drawing me in and making me buy what became my first ever game.

Disappointed I missed out on the cross - I even emailed first 4 figures to see if they kept and sold spare parts, but unfortunately not. Long shot but worth a try.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

This was an easy statue of the year for me. It's one of my favorite pieces ever.

Thank you for the nice gesture and comments :)

We are so happy to hear many positives for Simon, much appreciated :)

[BerenKaneda]

¿Anyone having problem attaching the figure to the base?

Mine is a bit hard so the right foot dont touch the floor. I´ve seen a few videos and people seems to have no problem but mine refuse to go all down. I even chipped a bit of the hole trying so I dont want to force it more.

Any advice?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I hope Alucard goes up for preorder soon. I also hope we keep getting characters. Lots of great Castlevania characters. If they do Richter and Maria then Symphony of the Night/Ronda of Blood will be done.

[BerenKaneda]

Please, no one has the same problem as me? I really cant join the statue to the base. the base hole is something like 5mmx5mm but the iron stick that its supposed to enter that hole is bigger, from 5.12mm to even 5.60mm.

Do you think it will be safe if I try to file it?? Anyone has done something similar??

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I did not have that issue. Maybe talk with F4F about it? I've noticed before on their Facebook page that they will give advice sometimes if they feel an exchange is not needed. They may be able to tell you about the best method to getting the peg to fit in.

[BerenKaneda]

They asked me for my order number. As the statue was a gift and was bought in a shop, they said they cannot cover items that are not purchased directly from their website.

Pretty disappointing knowing that its clearly a manufacturing error and that the statue is not cheap at all...

Hey Beren, sorry, just had chance to log in here. Mostly more active in the collectors club on FB. I replied to your PM already. Lets see how that goes.

[DiscoCougar]

I only recently saw this statue being reviewed, and I'm sad I missed it. And while I dig it in general, I really want the limited version with the swap out cross hand. F4F says that it's sold out for US/CA, but still has an 'add to cart' button on the item page. Does that mean if I can find someone from anywhere other than those two areas, I can have it ordered still?? Is there an easier way I could just order the limited edition where I wouldn't have to have it shipped somewhere before being shipped to me?

[DeadGhostKnight]

So this is something i've been meaning to pick up for a while now and those who missed out, go and find him, he's a real treasure from F4F and i got my Regular brand new for £200 and you can still find him for around that price!

Honestly one of F4Fs best and it was the real step forward for them before Artorias.

Thanks!

[eternalblue02]

One of my favorite statues. I’ve got mine displayed with the morning star and cross. There’s just something about the pose, face, paint job and simple base that makes it a winner.

Ghost do you any interest in their Alucard?

Oh yes indeed, i do talk about it int he Video. SOTN is one of my top games of all time and probably the game i have finished the most times too.

I don't have the EX ordered as i only ever plan to display the Alucard sword but i'll be getting him 100%.

[eternalblue02]

:thumbs2: SCV4, Rondo & Symphony are mine. Symphony was my very first import for my PS1 (old twist tie disk switch method) wasn’t sure Sony’s no 2d stance would have prevented Konami bringing it out over here. So much time spent in that game hunting stuff down.

Here’s hoping we get a Richter, Death and classic Drac down the road.

Death and Drac are already confirmed (both SOTN most likely) and have been teased, and there was discussion on fb about Richter. He was near the top of one of their polls.

I'd be happy with only those five, but would like a SCIV Death, maybe Trevor and Julius too.

Gabriel from LOS is confirmed too but he's gonna be 1/6 scale like the LOS2 Dracula. Dracula was a great piece but i need 1/4.

I'm hoping F4F will flip flop on the scale and make Gabriel 1/4, it'd be nice to have all protagonists in 1/4.

Also i think they were considering Richter under their blind PO/Kickstarter system.

[Drakul]

My favorite F4F statue so far. It's amazing.
