Indeed, I would have POed too but sold out now Good on them for adding it, I'll prob try and pick one up around release then.

Shin needs an SNK style head, to make it more than a repaint.

Well it's great they listened to the fans and added the legs and made a Shin Akuma. They didn't have to but they did

^So you finally gonna add a Shin to your collection?

I would expect the Shin to cost less since some of the heads, SFV, poster, etc. do not apply.

Not caving in at all. We wanted to show our faithful Collectors that we were listening to their request to be able to display two statues. We see this as more of a free bonus for the Collectors that have faith in what we are doing at PCS. Same with Shin. We originally weren't going to do Shin but we kept getting requests for Shin. I did hint to people they would kick theirselves in the butt later for not getting Ultimate Akuma. May even do something extra for people that get both Ultimates directly from PCS. 😜

Haha nah but it's going to look awesome!

Shin's always been an irrelevant palette swap in my eyes, but good on PCS for giving 'Shin' fans what they want.

Of course I'm grateful for the second set of legs. Glad I didn't have to make a second order now.

Shin is, like, the ultimate definition of a repaint.

Poster?

I could see them leaving out the SFIV head though.

[ZenLogikos]

Oh, and two questions:

Will 'Ultimate' still come with the torso stand? Or is it essentially being swapped out for the second set of legs?

And are the legs still configured the same way as before, with swappable feet? Or are they one unit now - one with sandaled feet and one with bare feet (both permanently attached)?

Thanks!

I do find it odd that red ant voted no in the thread I created asking for the additional legs...but that's great they're doing it! I would've probably ordered him if I knew but great job for listening PCS!

[godgoh]

Since now that ultimate comes with 2 sets of legs, would it be better if the feet and legs are already connected as one piece? one with sandles and one without.
