[dao2]

yay got mine in

[skycity]

Anyone get Classic KEN EX AP version ?

[dao2]

aps won't be announced so quickly

[ballroon]

sold yet ?

[MaxGoof]

Is anyone else shocked these haven't sold out yet? The Blue and Pink Kens sold out in one minute almost exactly a year ago, and I feel like this is an even better statue. I wonder if this Ken is just too soon after the MM?

I was a bit surprised myself but then again that goro is gonna be coming to us so maybe people are saving for it who knows!

I'm not shocked but a bit surprised. PCS competes with itself for those of us who are into SF + MK. With Chun-Li and Goro around the corner.

I got my Violent Ken. I hate to double dip on the same sculpt, but I really like the Alpha too.

Same here I got violent but it was hard to say no to the regular exclusive.

Market changes my man. Compared MM Ken, this is more expensive.

Like stated, you have a 1/3 Goro and multiple 1/3 Chun-Li pieces around the corner. There's also more statues coming out and even a large amount of reveals coming up for one company in specific.

No idea how much Ken has sold, but the market has definitely shown change since last year. The Zangief Ultra EXs were the last thing I can think of that sold out in around a minute.

I can only speak for myself, but I did not like this statue. So for me, hype was nonexistent.

I've always considered myself to be the 'Everyman' as far as SF collectibles. So in my mind, if I'm not overly excited for a piece, I feel like the mark has been missed.

It's also been my opinion (and concern) that the community of Street Fighter collectors is small and cannot sustain popularity across 6 or 7 statue lines.

Eventually Street Fighter will experience Brand Fatigue. But that remains to be seen. Time will tell, but the v-trigger line may be suffering because of this factor.

Hopefully this Ken does well, but I hope future Ultra statues will utilize SFV models. IMHO the Cammy and Zangief have been vastly superior to Vega and Ken.

All my opinion of course.
