Prime 1 Studio - Street Fighter

[qz33]

The only thing likely PCS will change is exiting the industry.

If they can print out the game files and deliver the level of product they have so far in their history then this is where people will be.
I get that a lot of statue fans still want an artistic interpretation there are plenty more casual observers waiting to be turned into fanatics that will be swayed by identical game representations.

Having a shot an the entire roster of a current game will be unbeatable. They should do 1/3s as well.

Wow is this 1/3 or 1/4 or both?

[Comicbookguy]

I want to see a more anime tv cartoon version and not 3D.

I'm actually not that excited about this...I mean, P1 usually just prints out exact game versions of characters for video game licenses. Isn't that what PCS is doing with their Ultra line? I mean if PCS is doing game accurate 1/4 action poses/character models what is P1 going to do? Just release game accurate 1/3 museum versions? It's also going to probably hurt Erick's company as it's just getting going, although doing the classic/anime versions would differentiate his company's line. Idk, competition is usually always good but sometimes you're jumping into a pool that's already full.

And I do understand the frustration with PCS's customer service lately, I guess that could push people into other directions. Personally I love what Jerry's doing with 1/3 Street Fighter sculpts. If people don't like big hands/feet then P1's going to have to go away from the game's art on that one as well.

On topic: either PCS is going to be screwed, or they get their stuff together and start hitting their release dates. Either way, it's a win for us.

Or maybe things remain the same? Or maybe Prime 1 offers better pricing, lower ES, etc?

Can't imagine how that actually benefits Street Fighter much, but I'll keep an open mind till I see it.

Yeah, I'd imagine PTZ will fade. Prime 1 will probably overlap with them more so than PCS.

I don't see it affecting PCS much at all. There's room for both based on some assumption about what Prime 1 might do. Different approaches to art style, pricing, ES, media type, etc.

PCS 1/3 Chun Li is awfull, but that is my opinion, because the eyes look terrible and odd. When it comes to Street Fighter line, I will stick to Eric, because I like 1/6 and I believe his is different. Prime 1 is too large for me and too expensive, I like SF a lot, but I dont want to have 1/3 statues.

So does pcs have any exclusive rights to sf 1/4 scale? I really hope p1 doesn't go any bigger than 1/4. That's big enough for a statue unless you own a museum.

Just a guess - I'd say no. But MAYBE for 1:4 mixed-media. I've never heard Jerry talk about exclusivity though.

PTZ does 1:4, and Kinetiquettes has talked about 1:4 as well (their levitating Bison).

[BurningRage]

Wonder if 1:3 scale is exclusive to PCS.

It all depends on Prime1. If they start cranking 1/4 game files then that will blow a serious hole in PCS's Ultra appeal especially finally does anything in an action pose, as Prime1 seems to have a better handle on the production side of things.

And just in case: My comment wasn't meant to indicate that PCS would quit because of Prime1 but that IF anything changes that would be the only thing; Prime1 would have to grab enough market to starve PCS. PCS isn't going to try and "compete" with Prime1 like some sort of race.

I'll say this for certain. the company that produces the most iconic, accurate, and recognizable in game sights will be the one with the most interest.

But who knows Prime1 may sit on this for a year and do nothing...
