Sheeva
Tanya

I would like to know about the tekken bishoujo line and artfx+ Star Wars line...

1) Is it dead the tekken bishoujo line or one NYCC announcement maybe?

2) Again about Palpatine Artfx+. That line will be unfinished without Palpatine (and throne, of course).


Thanks from Spain
Haliem

The possibility does exist that we could include characters in their classic outfits within the Marvel ARTFX+ line.

In those pictures you showed Yami Marik and Yami Bakura along with the Variant DMG's.
Does this mean that they will eventually come to North America? Or are they still locked to Japan due to licensing issues?

The plan is that we'll be able to offer these in North America. Please keep checking our FB page or website the latest updates.

Can you guys just make a different costume for Ibuki for her exclusive version?

As it currently stands the exclusive release will include both heads whereas the standard release will have just the unmasked portrait. The EX is scheduled to go up for pre-order sometime next month.

Well Vision was just unveiled at SDCC and the announcement was made that Punisher would be next.

Lucky Chloe was announced about a year ago and was just released.

Gonk, an official word as to whether or not the line is alive, dead, on hold etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I would have to follow up with our development team but I think the line is on hold for now.

Knowing if it's just going to be going up on the more intricate ones like Thor and Edwina would be nice, or if it's going to be the new MSRP for them all?

There are three main factors during production that can raise the SRP on these products - how many paint applications are needed, the materials used and the number of parts to complete each statue (tooling). And while I may sound like a broken record manufacturing costs keep rising in China making it impossible to offer the same level of quality everyone has come to expect but with a price tag from 5 years ago. While it's unlikely we'll be able to offer these products for $59.99 anytime soon the new price range appears to be anywhere from $69.99 - $89.99.
