Megaman looks great.

Now please make the next one a Castlevania line

Looks like they won't be detailing the second one for now. Given that the first was Megaman the other one must be a fairly heavy hitter too I imagine. Castlevania may still be a possibility. Or, dare I say, Metal Gear.

I think that there are too many already making stuff for the Metal Gear license. It's too bad that they're not disclosing the second one

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Now I am pumped for the new Megaman license, however, I don't find myself too excited about the pose they went with. I get that they're going for the classic "side-scrolling" run pose but if they keep it up, all of my F4F statues are going to look like they're racing each other.

The foot sparks certainly don't help either.. *sigh*

Something more akin to this

with clear/tinted resin, a light-up blaster and light-up base would make for a much cooler pose for the titular character IMO.

They did say that the hand-on-blaster pose was being used for another classic character and that they're tackling Megaman X as well, so that's something to look forward to.

That's not their second license. Vyse is part of their "Sega All Stars" license, which includes anyone from the racing games. This means characters like Joe Musashi, Vyse, Ulala, etc... are all possible contenders.

Oh, gotcha. I'm not a follower of that particular line so when I saw the teaser right after the Megaman picture on their Facebook, I just assumed. I'll cut the picture out of my post as to not cause any confusion.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I would love for somebody to do the Castlevania line. I don't think anybody has done a proper Castlevania statue yet

That's a terrible pose. No nostalgia, no memory behind it or anything.

The pose F4F have captured is so iconic, it will resonate with every purchaser. That is why I love First4Figures, as they try to encapsulate that nostalgia in all of their poses, so the buyer gets more than just a statue with their money, they also get a memory of their childhood, everytime they look at the statue.

They can save these dynamic/modern poses for another time.

In your opinion. Clearly the same does not hold true for me. I acknowledge the nostalgic factor, and can confidentially say that I don't care for it with this particular statue. If you enjoy the pose they've chosen, then that's great. I just happen to disagree with you.

Am I unreasonable in voicing my desire for something that I find more asthetically pleasing?

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
