Tecmo might wanna go for it, but I'm not sure how Team Ninja feels, considering Itagaki and 30 something of his staff are jumping ship from Tecmo, hahah.

What they'll feel is irrelevant...

Tecmo owns the characters, not Team Ninja or Itagaki himself.

Why bother now?? They keep getting pushed back later and later. eStarland has Gabranth listed as release for June 25, 2008 and Sephiroth for July 6, 2008. Koto has too much on their plate right now!

It's relevant because it was mentioned how much Team Ninja supported Kotobukiya. I'm not saying that they have the final say in the matter, just that whether or not they support Koto matters less now than ever.

If you really think about it just for fun, however, Team Ninja was pretty much making all of Tecmo's money, so I'm sure they had a lot of clout within the company and the choices it made (mainly Itagaki), even as far as who designs what products when their creations were being put into real life 3D models.

Tecmo was riding on their success with the DOA and NG games. Take a look at how much their stock has dropped since all this news started up. I'm well aware Tecmo own the properties, but I can almost guarantee Team Ninja/Itagaki were involved in the process when talks about figures were being brought up.

To be clear, I agree that at the end of the day, what Team Ninja thinks doesn't matter if Tecmo wants it. I never thought otherwise. My first post was just pointing out the fact that what TN supports or supported doesn't even make a difference anymore.

Hi gonk, I really like all the DMC statues that Kotobukiya has done so far. Just want to know will there be any more form this line after Nero. Maybe a vs diorama or something? I would really love to see a Dante vs Nero diorama in DMC4. Thanks

[mattFoley]

Thanks, Gonk. Appreciate the response. I'll definitely be at the show.
