But no worries Andrew, your one of the first on Ed's list and with his talent, you guys will have amazing one of a kind pieces. BTW, can I tell him to ship it to me first so I can drool for a few days then deliver it to you?

Some of these questions may have been answered. Unfortuanately I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum...
If you have already answered them feel free to ignore and I'll dig around next time I'm on here.

Anyway, I was wondering:

1. Are you guys going to have a booth at SDCC (or Evo)?

2. If so, will you have any "exclusives"?

3. Any news on Akuma?

4. What characters do you have lined up? What is the current order of release?

Cheers
Mark

I see no love here for overseas buyers...

Considering the delay of Sagat/Ryu , how many statues do you think you will be able to produce during 2013?

It seems like one a month is unrealistic at this point. I would love to know the answer to this

Also, will you be going chronologically (12 world warriors first), or randomly picking from the entire SF cast?

Thanks

Hey Mark, here's the 411:

1. Not this year, but maybe evo. We wanted to get an entire line up before hitting the convention circuit. So hopefully if we have 12+ world warriors, the ecorche line, Erick's original lines on tap, then we can make a better showing. And hopefully have another license by then also. We'll do a few kit shows to start like Jersey fest.

2. Exclusives will definitely be fun to do, like Sagat's original head from the sculpt, or something like that. We'll definitely work towards that goal with the help of you guys.

3. Erick is hard at work on this big boy, but I think he might be squeezing in a lady before him. Gotta bring some sexiness to this line.

4. Current line up: Sagat, Ryu, Blanka, Ken, Cammy, Akuma in this order. Well, depends on "Neo (Erick's new name lol)" in regards to Cammy and Akuma. He is the chosen one afterall

Well, the one statue a month is actually possible. Sagat was a trial to see how we do for production. We were all surprised on how well they did but we started with I think one or two molds, so we came up with a better plan for the upcoming characters. Ryu will probably be three molds and we plan to have a running inventory this time for faster shipping. So this time it would be "in-stock" versus "pre-order."

To be conservative, 7-8 characters a year seems likely.

The goal was the first 12, but Erick wants to take on Ono-san's challenge for a sexy character and Cammy was the better candidate. E's got some serious ideas for Chun Li that would make her a true masterpiece. He's also been wanting to do E. Honda for sometime, so he might be popping up sooner than later.
