Jade 1:3 in development now.

+1 to DeadGhostKnight on that thought.

I'd certainly pay the premium for it.

Hey red_ant, convince me to buy venompool. In your opinion, do you think it'll be one of the nicest statues to come out your studio? Supply some high praise and tip me over the edge, I have my wallet open lol

Hey red_ant, as the 1/3 Shao Kahn on throne statue was cancelled, any chance you could make a 1/4 version?

Are HMO the only company to be doing this with 1/4 pieces?
I'm not sold on the idea, as it makes the piece look more doll-like. I prefer painted eye's. I prefer sculpted hair over real hair. I prefer sculpted clothing over fabric. In short, i prefer a statue to be statue, and not some sort of hybrid

[extracomputer.1]

anyone know how long it normally takes for PCS large statues to get shipped to individuals after they leave the factory?

I know that this isn't about a statue, but I thought I'd ask anyways... what's going on with the Kessler Wolf 7″ Figure? As a huge fan of the werewolf genre, I was so looking forwards to this figure.

Ant, could we please get an update on the 'state of Street Fighter' with PCS? We know PCS have 1:3, 1:4 Ultra, 1:4 Season Pass, and the 1:10 Udon line in the works. What of the other lines?

Specifically:

1:4 MM line - Will this continue? This is my preferred line, and you've commented about factory availability and reluctance to accept MM projects. Of course I'd like it to continue as is for as long as possible, but if that is a diminishing likelihood, would something like Tactical Guile work? i.e. Reducing the amount of MM per piece? Maybe just a MM accessory to qualify (e.g. Gen - sculpted robe, with only a MM sash?), but still mostly sculpted museum/fighting stance poses?

1:1 Life size busts - Is this discontinued?

1:6 V-Trigger - Is this discontinued?

Thanks

Venompool is definitely a statement piece. We actually ended up updating the texturing and added more details to Venompool since the preorder. So if you like the preorder images then you will love the production version as our goal was to be better than the prototype. The photos really don’t show the details we packed into this bad boy. Plus Deadpool will be able to be displayed with him.

Right now I personally don’t like Deadpool’s legs or base. I love the upper body, but the lower body just looked odd as we tried to force him to fit into Venompool’s base without actually having both physically models in hand. Now we do and we are going to change his lower body and base and heads. We are working to have a second set of legs and extra swapouts for Deadpool for the people that bought Venompool. But gotta figure out the logistics with Sideshow.

Actually considering doing a brand new Shao Kahn on Throne in 1:3 instead. Our team would work on it from beginning to end. Considering the MK11 version this time because of all the details and bad-ass-ness.
