[yeek]

Awesome, PO'd...

[rebirthz]

POed. Cant wait for the full group

[Askani81]

Short hair looks cool. Loving it. PO-ed :buttrock:

[yeek]

Yeah I like the short hair too actually...I'll probably display him like that more often.

[ciscocisco1000]

PO'd mine also. Can't wait to see the 3 other pieces and how they look like put together

[ZenLogikos]

Sorry Kinetiquettes, I went with BBTS again. :o

I didn't pay any import fees when I got Evil Ryu direct, but I did just pay them with XM, so I'm a little hesitant there. Plus shipping would be higher.

I may order direct with the other three, but Ken is my least favorite of the four. And why no $100 deposit option? I'm sure for practical reasons - you guys are small, and need the influx of cash - but I put $0 down at BBTS. I would be willing to put $100 down with you.

Sorry I couldn't support you direct this time, as I love what you're doing.

[gogo13]

PO mine, Really like the new photos of Ken..

Thank you for the art print... It wasn't mention earlier ..Everyone gets an art print buying the Ken statue... Nice bonus.

I can't wait to see who next ....

[qz33]

So you can only get the short hair at Kinetiquettes site?

[dao2]

very cool :) but I'm out for the battle of brothers pieces. The poison and hugo one though :P

[Jokerbone]

PO'd for the exclusive but that shipping cost hurt. Going to have to weigh out the exclusives for the rest of your releases since BBTS absorbs a lot of those costs through bulk shipping

[ZenLogikos]

So you can only get the short hair at Kinetiquettes site?

That's right, according to Kinetiquettes. They say they'll allocate ~200 of the 500 total for their website.

My thoughts exactly, except in reverse, since I like the other characters more, especially Gouki and Gouken. I don't really see the need for exclusives for them though. :thinking:

Thanks for your support. We will try to make it worth your while. Dont forget that you will receive even further discount for the future characters in the line :)

We are working on it :)

[Askani81]

Hi Kinetiquettes, as I had mentioned earlier, I really love the short hair look but does the hair block Ken's eyes when displayed? in my opinion, I think it will be better if his eyes are visible when displayed.

Just a little bit but thats because he's doing a spinning kick

You are welcome :)

[DeadGhostKnight]

I was gonna do the $133 a month option but it adds $40 a month shipping, so is the shipping to the UK $120?

Why can't i pay my $133 a month and then pay shipping when its ready?

Is this not an option?

We tried that option previously, but we had a lot of issues tracking orders because some customers were MIA afterwards. So we decided to take payments early on so that we can just ship when he's ready without having to wait for additional processing time. Sorry about that.

[nongshim]

So popcultcha will only get the version with the long hair.

If we want the short hair version we need to order from kinetiquettes website?

[Kinetiquettes]

Yes that's right. But to clarify, its just an extra short HAIR sculpt that come for free with the statue for ordering on our site. The statue is long hair version by default.

[ZenLogikos]

Will Thiago be sculpting ALL four characters for this diorama? I sure hope so.

[Kinetiquettes]

Ofcourse. He will also be sculpting some of our other stuff as well :)

Cool. But is there other benefit of ordering through kinetiquettes for future statues?

[Kinetiquettes]

Cool. But is there other benefit of ordering through kinetiquettes for future statues?

yes. Future statues may be available for early preorders for those who preorder Ken or may get special discount on the characters of this line :)

[ZenLogikos]

yes. Future statues may be available for early preorders for those who preorder Ken or may get special discount on the characters of this line :)

And can I take advantage of such benefits for statue #3 and 4 if I order direct starting with the second piece in this diorama?

Ofcourse :D

[Klear Knives]

[Mqhuynh]

So what is the estimate shipping for this Ex. statue for international buyers?

[Kinetiquettes]

So what is the estimate shipping for this Ex. statue for international buyers?

Estimated to ship sometime in June.

Thank you, but I guess i wasn't clear but what is the estimate shipping costs for the exclusive for international buyers?

[Kinetiquettes]

Thank you, but I guess i wasn't clear but what is the estimate shipping costs for the exclusive for international buyers?

Oh... the shipping cost varies depending on the country. You need to add the statue to the shopping cart to calculate the shipping cost :)

[khrisc]

Hi! based on the artwork..ryu is facing back so when displayed we can only see the back side of ryu and not his face..is there a way for us to be able to see both ryu and ken face at the same angle?

We are actually reworking Ryu's pose a little bit. the new pose will show Ryu's face better :)

[ShortFuze]

While one the topic of Ryu when is he up for P.O.????��

Later this year.

[Jokerbone]

Just made my final payment. Now the waiting game. I'd like to ask for future releases if the payment plans can be spread out a little more. There is such a large gap between my last payment and estimated release date. It would make it easier in my case to make smaller payments over a longer period of time. I'm not sure how difficult that is or if there are additional costs to your company. I would say a 1-2 month buffer would be enough from last payment to ship date in case the production schedule moves up.

I just made my final payment as well, totally excited. And I totally agree with what you said here as well. I would like it to be spread out a bit more also...

Thanks for the suggestion guys. We will see if we can have the payment spread out longer. Usually 3 payments allows us to track and organize payments easier as some payment failures/postpones happen and we have to follow up with customers on it.

[Kinetiquettes]

FYI, some quick updates on Ken. ES size is now only 300!

http://www.kinetiquettes.com/ken-edition-size-production-update-ryu-teaser/

[FlameHaze]

The ES for the other three pieces will also be limited to 300?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I'm really excited for the Juri, Chun Li, Cammy dio. I'll definitely get all three of those.

[Kinetiquettes]

Yes.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Yes.

Awesome. I'm excited :D

[khrisc]

Any estimate on when we can see Ryu or Akuma for this dio? Im afraid there are a lot of projects being started at the same time and that makes some progress slowly :( I suggest finishing a set first before moving on to a new one :)

We have concurrent projects going because we have multiple sculptors working with us. In this case, Thiago is doing this diorama set but he's also helping us with the Thundercats, so things are slow but definitely progressing.

Don't worry, we will have something to show you guys in the coming months. We are now focusing our efforts on getting Ken out to you guys :)

Ken hopefully should be shipping soon.

[s_paulik87]

First in hand pics on FB looks amazing. If I order from BBTS right now how long until he is in hand?

[yeek]

Is this on its way? I saw someone already get his in the US.

[Kinetiquettes]

That was an early copy for review. These are likely to start shipping next month. We are currently waiting to receive him at our warehouse :)

[ZenLogikos]

[Kinetiquettes]

:thumbs2: Congrats!

[yeek]

we are consolidating orders now. Orders will be shipping very soon. You will receive shipping notification by next week.

[gogo13]

Got my shipping notice!

[gogo13]

I Got Ken in the mail. I couldn't wait so I took photos with my camera phone. Some pics like the face don't do it justice. It look great close up.

To start ,the packaging is smaller than Evil Ryu. They change the packaging and made it better. It was really good before but now it remind me of XM studios with the strap with there logo on it. The quality of the art box, print and packaging give me the feeling like when I open a XM statue. The packaging gives me the feeling of Wow. Its beautiful.

The assembly of the statue is a little tricky. They try to make it a little easier with a letter written on the pieces. Its best to watch the Youtube Kinequettes instructional video.

The sculpt and paint app is great. There a lot attention to small detail in the statue.I look at the hands and feet of Ken as an example. The hands aren't simple smooth sculpts or paint. They made the hands with a tense feeling. The feet are Kind of rugged from training or walking barefoot. I believe it was Thiago Provin who sculpted Ken. He did a great job.

Great Job Kinetiquettes :thumbs2: ! I look forward to your Next statue.


There a Great review on Youtube video By BornFree:

[Askani81]

Hi Kinetiquettes, have all the Ken been shipped out yet? I dropped you guys an email a couple of weeks ago but I did not get any response. I understand that you guys must have been busy with the Con and Pre-orders but hope you can shed some light. When will we be notified about the collection or shippment of Ken?

Thanks in advance.

[maverick1891]

I have not received any shipping info on this either. Wondering if they have all shipped yet?
