New HCG Resident Evil Sneak

[Freon]

Come on, make some 1/4 video game statues. What are you waiting for??

...And you should officially announce the line too, so people can make room and not guess if other statues will come out.

Dammit, who's running this company!

Is Licker Diorama out yet?

[Elessar]

just bought this off eBay. should be receiving it within the next 10 days.



I'm in 2 minds if I should get the 1:4 scale Alice statue. What do you guys think?

Personally,apart from replica peices, I wouldnt buy ANY statue from HCG because their final paint quality is horrendous.

I'm pretty surprising by this statue. Excellent sculpt, excellent paintjob, excellent details (on the floor...)

Excellent pics man! HCG did a fine job on this. Too bad there's so much potential for this line but... meh, why even bother. However I will say that I won't be buying this because HCG has show what, 3 RE statues altogether (2 movie based and Licker) all out of scale with one another, no other video game statues to go with this one, so as far as I know, this line is dead. Just owning a Licker isn't good enough since I would rather collect a Resident Evil line of statues. Also, it feels like its been 2 years since they first announced this statue. Maybe not, but that's what it feels like. I hope Capcom gives the rights to someone else instead, or lets someone else have the license rights to make some statues too.

But yeah, it does look good.

Freon, I share your frustration over how for the moment we are not being updated on this license and HCG's plans for it, and what to expect in the future. But the Licker was first previewed to us in bare sculpt form in September of last year, so less than a year ago it was previewed. What it feels like to you is irrelevant if you want to stick with the facts here. It was previewed about 10 months ago and now it's available for purchase. Before pronouncing this line "dead" please bear in mind that as long as new products keep coming out, a line isn't dead. The Executioner and Alice were based on the latest film although Executioner is also in a game too, the Licker is taken right from the games. There are fans of the last film, not everyone wrote the last movie off. But of course, it would be a shame to let all the potential of the characters and monsters from the games go to waste.


Let's wait to see what happens next. One thing about this hobby, you have to be prepared to wait, but I agree, I'd like to see more previews and sneaks of upcoming product.
