Akuma Vs Gouken Diorama

**SARFARAZ** · 09-01-2012, 08:25 AM

As this is the next diorama in line, its only right that is has its own thread. I know Jerry will show us this bad boy very soon and I seriously can not wait! Who's going to be getting this? I wonder what the Ex will be. I'm hoping another light up feature where Akums's eyes and kanji light up. That would be so friggin awesome! What would you guys want as the Ex? Let us converse!

P.S I apologise if you came in here thinking there was a new pic or update. Please don't swear at me....

You should at least have one picture

Definitely getting this. But how far out is this? Is it really that close?

I think it's gonna be a long time. Probably late 2013 early 2014. Jerry's got the exclusive SF piece coming out on his site, then the 1/3 Ryu is supposed to drop, not to mention all the other releases for different licenses.

I want it though, it's so sick...

Nope, Jerry said that this is close to finished so it definitely won't be 2014...

There's only been talk (no pics, sketches etc) of the 1/3 Ryu for years. I'm sure it will come out eventually but it wouldn't suprise me to see this or the Chun Li vs Vega diorama (whish he has also show) come out first

Chun-li vs vega was suppose to come out first but because of approvals Jerry decided to bring out the Akuma vs Gouken first instead. He said it in a post a while ago..

Good grief, the second diorama has been 2 or 3 years in the making. The hype is gone.

I want to know which statue John Cleary is really excited about. He said Sagat was his best but keeps hinting that there is something else he's just finished that might be even better.

I don't think it's this dio, the 1/3 ryu is being sculpted by Jerry (and is on the back burner), and I can't imagine that any of the characters mentioned recently could better Sagat (surely not Blanka, Dhalsim or Alex?).

The only character I can think of that might look as good as Sagat (based on the character's rendering in SF4) is Balrog......? Thoughts?

Sorry, I've gone off topic!

Quick question, how fast did the last dio sell out? I want this Akuma v Gouken dio so much but i want a chance to get it at retail. It is def a day 1 pre order, but is day 1 too late, and does it need to be more like a minute 1 pre order? xD
