First 4 Figures- RARE license

[Submissive421]

Now that we know that Banjo and Kazooie along with Conker has been revealed to come out. We can guess the poses and the exclusive pieces that will come out with them. They have already stated that the models used will come from the game from Nintendo 64.

Whose excited with me?

[dao2]

While it's neat, I don't see myself buying any statues from these ><

Grats to anyone looking forward to it though.

[PermaGrin]

Wonder if with the 'RARE' license (and with them doing Tekken and SC) if they can get Killer Instinct.

[RomanceDawn]

Great! I'm not super excited but I know i'll definitely be getting Banjo & Kazooie along with a Conker so long as they come out looking great.

[ZenLogikos]

Seriously. Would be great.

They have/had Virtua Fighter too. I need me some Glacius and Shun Di.

[candyrocket786]

Does this mean we get Battletoads?

[FriendlySamurai]

I logged a million hours on Conker storm the beach with my friends. I dont think we even touched the single player mode. So I like it but dont have a very strong affinity for the character. Kind of a wait and see situation for me.

[Drakul]

I gave up on conker because of the freaking BttF2 race thing. I watched the rest on YT.

[Submissive421]

I just hope this opens more doors for other games in their license as well. Killer Instinct is a great game and would love to see their take on it. Classic and yhe new xbox game were great. I just dont know how well the o0's versions will translate. But interested to see

I'm surprised nobody is talking about it. Even on the 20th anniversary. So I posted the quick image that popped up during the small trailer that F4F posted today.

Reservations start on Friday and authentication happens on Tuesday

[BurningRage]

I gotta get it. I 100% the game 20 years ago.

[Submissive421]

Both Regular and Exclusive is $429.99. The regular has a yellow base and a download code for Sea of Thieves.

The Exclusive comes with a Gold Chrome plated base (it is not metal) and the other exclusive pieces that are metal die-cast is the jiggy and musical note. This version also comes with the Sea of Thieves code.

Would’ve preferred a standing pose.

[RomanceDawn]

Doesn't look too bad though I also would have preferred a standing pose. Gotta think it over.

Banjo was such a huge part of my gaming life in middle school.

[samhain81]

I'm also one who would have much preferred a standing pose.

Have to stick to my guns on this one, as much as I love the character, I can't justify buying this statue just because it's the only one made, when I hate the flying pose.

[BurningRage]

Reminds me of Link on Loftwing.

[CoreySpellbound]

I so desperately want to buy this but I really don't care for the pose. I really would have preferred a standing pose too. Exclusive base looks nice though!

[FriendlySamurai]

Voting on facebook whether to change eyes to looking to the right. Change is winning by large margin-

[Vendetta]

This seems like a miss to me. Besides the pose, the texture detail on the fur looks a bit cheap, almost reminiscent to what you might see on a Marvel Legends action figure or something. It probably looks better in-person.

The puzzle piece for the base is a nice touch, but then the Nike swoosh thing looks odd, and I’d be a bit worried about structural integrity over time (maybe I’m a bit biased from the Fighter Kirby issues). The version with the eyes facing right does at least look better to me; maybe they can make them swappable.

I wonder if this would have worked better as a smaller scale PVC figure in the $100-150 range, perhaps.

[FriendlySamurai]

Wouldnt worry about structural integrity. They could put a 1 inch metal rod up that swoosh if they wanted to. Im more worried about Mugen but he’s too cool to worry about it for more than 2 seconds.

[jinkazama]

Anyone know if first 4 figures will make statues of characters from Killer Instinct?

[FriendlySamurai]

If they are I dont think theyve said anything yet. Tekken and SC seem to be coming along really slow. They might not want to jump into a 3rd fighting game, dunno just a guess.

Well they did do a poll on it (the original game) and it didn't fare that well IIRC. Still hope though

[ereyi]

I played the games and have fond memories of these guys but these statues are getting out of control in my opinion. I am all for large statues of your all time favorite characters, like having a centerpiece in your collection, but to have a massive piece of everything that you like is overkill. This thing is going to be as big as most 1/4 scale statues. It looks like the Banjo character is about twice as big as all of the link character statues that have been produced by F4F. Link is generally represented by f4f in approx. 1/8 scale and stands aprox. 8" tall in most of the released statues, banjo looks like he is going to be about 16" tall in this one and as much as l like Banjo and Kazooie, there is no way that I like them more than the legend of zelda franchise. And don't get me started on the price increases. Seems like you can't get a decent piece from most companies for under $500 bucks now a days. Either way, after all this complaining, I still pre-ordered an exclusive.
P.S.
I too would have preferred a standing pose.

[vhernandez3242]

I was really looking forward to a banjo-kazooie in this scale but I think the pose they chose is trash. Solid pass for me

[Submissive421]

I do wish for another pose. So hopefully they will make another one with an upright pose or something dynamic like them in the middle of an attack or something. But I'm glad they have the license to BK and Conker right now. I hope for more games characters from Rare

[FriendlySamurai]

Conker is up- $550 for definitive edition which includes 2 crowns, 2 cups, stone base, throne, footstool and commemorative coin.
