Yeah Sideshow has had those same teasers for those 3 sets for years.

No way to know what the final pieces will end up looking like. What they've shown so far look much better than what a 100 bucks per figure gets you at a factory now.

Bishoujo are no comparison because since being PVC they have a fair amount of paint automation using paint masks. These being resin will have to be individually painted just like any other Polystone statue.

good point, we could expect to some strange eyes here and there, if we could trust the big historic from Iron Studios 1/10 line, hand painted at this scale is a lottery

I want to know the schedule of all releases, PCS must show this, we need to know how this is going to work

Even if they told you, you won't know and neither will they. Go back to the beginning of this thread, these were to be released 5+ years ago.

Anyone depending on the outcome to invest should really wait and see. Yes that can be counterproductive if everyone does it but that is any statue endeavor.

I (would) trust PCS a heluva lot more than Prototypez. Ant has said they're doing all 32, and should be done in under 3 years, and that they will do the diorama base. So he's pretty committed at this point.

He's been pretty transparent about things since he took over, so if the line should falter, I expect he'd lay out how many they need to sell to continue, at least giving people the chance to put their money where their mouth is, before pulling the plug.

Saying this line has been 'started 3 times' isn't really a knock on PCS...just facts. The first time was while JM was still around, and then sh!t hit the fan. Then pandemic/recession.

Haha haha PrototypeZ!

Ken is about to be delivered though!! Hahahaha.

Seriously though Ant always blames customers for lack of sales.
I fully believe all statue producers have good intentions and Ant intends to do what he says. The world economy may have its overwhelming vote.

Has giving a sales ultimatum ever worked though? He did the same thing for Hugo, said he needed 150 to say yes, got like 35 and still made Hugo with an ES of 75.

They're little enough for sure I think they have way better chances than any 1/4 line.

I made some maths here:

Those measures are the minimum, for mine counts it's impossible to be less, but could be way more, especially in length.

A little less than 3 years to released all, 36 months for 32 fighters, in pairs, so about 1 pair each two months.

You're right, of course. Just saying that people should have the information to determine the line's fate.

As for ultimatum? Dunno. I like that Ant is a fan, so isn't 100% of the time thinking in business terms. He will take a chance, or simply do a character he wants to see done. JM did the same, but he wasn't honest about how they were selling.

Cool. I appreciate visual mock-ups.

Easy pass. I just hope Honda is paired up with someone I like or I'll just pass on him too.

With the way this line is being done it just feels like people are being guilt tripped into buying figures they don't want in the hopes of it enabling the figures they do want. I'm not interested in being manipulated into blowing hundreds or even thousands of dollars just because I am unfortunate enough to like characters other than Ryu, Akuma, Cammy, and Chun Li
