No using Ultra Vega for reference that's about right.

Working on it. Trust me Im not happy myself. Faster we get stuff out the faster we get paid (so we are happy) and the happier you are.

But its a juggling act.

We go through 4 or 5 QC rounds before we approve stuff in China. Factories get annoyed with us saying we are too hard on them, harder than other companies.

And even then there are still issues at times.

We have two new people starting here to work at getting shipping times down.

Yea, it's based on SFV Bison so the white hair is going to stay.

Oh... Didn't even notice that on the game lol. This pose would make a great Magneto statue.

What I mean by not designing for longevity is that the Ultra line has been about pushing the boundaries of dynamic poses in 1/4 scale, than worrying about how these statues would hold up in a decade or more.

Hmm...there's not really much 'balancing' or 'weight distribution' going on with the Ultra line. The one foot, leaning poses make that almost impossible.

But I believe PCS IS designing them thoughtfully - from the start. That would entail having metal support in the statues. I haven't seen that confirmed though. Leaning issues usually arise in pieces where leaning wasn't factored in, and producers just assumed it wouldn't. All the Ultra appear to be starting from the position of "OK, this will need support to prevent leaning".

It would be reassuring to see a Vega cracked open to reveal his support, like SS Spider-man.

Pretty sure balance and weight play a factor on Vega and now Bison..

Only in determining how much support is needed. They aren't 'balanced' at all...

EDIT: Was speaking generally about the Ultra line. Looked again at specific characters; Juri and Ken might be pretty close to being balanced, the other four - not even close.

This M. Bison looks amazing! I've always been on the look out for a dynamic Street Fighter piece and this just might be my first pre-order from PCS. Incredible work Jerry and co.!
