F4F made a response to fans complaining about this piece yesterday on Facebook. When I checked the comments section this morning the post was deleted.
From my fragmented memory of the conversation a few things were brought up:
- F4F stated that they wanted to do the cat suit because it was unlikely that any other company would be doing a ploystone statue of it. They also mentioned that there are "lots" of vinyl and other types of regular Mario statues on the market and they wanted to do something unique.
- Someone asked about a 1/4 scale Link and the F4F rep teased that it was in development.
- I asked about a 1/4 scale varia suit Samus, to which I got no reply.
