Guys, PO closed Late October, we couldn't control the wait time we went through with Capcom.
With Akuma, we won't have to wait.
If you count since PO closed until present day we did a good job getting things done from November until End of March. That's 5 months of production time.
Production is finalized as of last this past weekend.
The factory just asked me to buy my tickets to do the final personal QC ( although our Japanese QC already went 3 weeks ago and said it was all good.
I am however the kid of person that wants to see things done in person.
So I am flying on April 11th to spend a whole week inside the factory checking every single statue.
Then I will let them package which should take a week.
Then we ship via boat to Europe, USA, Asia.
Took us 5 months.
If you email us at
erick@prototypezstudio.com
sales@prototypezstudio.com and
glenn@prototypezstudios.com we will get back to you within a couple of days, sometimes a bit more.
As we generate more cash flow we will hire someone full time to answer all emails.
Please read my reply above, also we are not going anywhere. I personally made the choice to hold off on releasing AKuma until I knew 100% I could trust the factory, I don't want to be like the other company not delivering products for 3-4 years and coming up with excuses meanwhile they keep selling you 10 more releases in the interim. I rather wait until Ryu is perfect, and ready to ship, (which it is now), and then move on with the next release.
We are not going anywhere, and we have a few characters already approved after Akuma.
Agreed, and this is why I have decide to quit my job with companies as a full time freelancer as of June 5th this year (2017).
Actually we are lowering our prices, as we won't do the alternate bust anymore as a majority of fans have requested this.
And I thank you for your support an patience.
Please just trust us, we have the license until 2019 and we are already working things out for a renewal.
