Way WAY too early to be talking about this kind of thing.




Unless you live in China (which is possible) you wont be able to find the same types/brands. For the proto we used a plain white muslin and I dont remember the brand of fabric stiffner but any should work. One thing...we did a really watered down wash of brown paint over the fabric first. Its barely a coffee stain.




I sure hope so. I cant even describe how frustrated I am.

I gave my web guy carte blanche to 'fix' the site over the next two weeks before Skeletor Bust.




I didnt expect either to sell out that fast. I figured it would take 3-4 days.

Gotta give mad credit to Dhalsim. He is way more popular than I thought.




1) he isnt in the next 3 (and thats as far as we are right now)

2) If and when we get to him it would be full standing

3) I generally dont think about those things until the time has come

Thank you so much Jerry i can't wait to see this badboy !

Hi Jerry,
I assume Sideshow will not sell the regular Dhalsim and none of the European shops either. Could you let us know when and where he will go up for PO? I don't want to miss out on him.

PS: Thanks so much!!!

When can we expect the full reveal of the Skeletor bust ?

Congrats man - great taste as per usual. I'm a huge Robo fan and curious to see what you bring different to the table.

Some questions please.


1. You mention the 1:3 MK statues will be clay sculpt - awesome! MK2 1:3 diamond-stitch pattern would be a dream - but in any case 1:3 museum format already sounds good Will you be personally sculpting any? I know - time is an issue - but once in a while you just can't help yourself so I had to ask.

2. Is a Shao Kahn 1:1 bust still in the works?

3. Have you considered selling a PCS "coffee table" book at some point? They are usually generic, but in the case of your company there is some really interesting history.. you could do stuff like statue specs, pics, editions sizes (including factoids such as how many original Akuma and Ryu were actually released compared to how many were supposed to be released i.e. less - which is interesting due to how much they are worth now), some pics of the sota variants, the 'banned' battle damage ryu and sagat figure, a couple scrapped projects, where you would have gone with Thundercats if the last piece had more support, etc. But mostly for a compilation of all the awesome PCS statues for pic and spec reference Though these days we have websites, but nothing beats a physical catalogue

4. You mentioned the idea of polystone statues with vinyl detail - is this the kind of look you had in mind? http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=138171

5. How many MK Klassics do you forecast per year from here? I hope customer feedback hasn't made you want to slow down releases too much, I want us to fill out as much of the klassic MK roster as possible

6. Are you aware they just released a new Robocop comic which is an adaption of Frank Miller's original Robocop 3 screenplay "Robocop Last Stand" http://www.amazon.com/Robocop-Stand-...cop+last+stand
will be an awesome read

Hi, Jerry.I just wanted to ask, as you mentioned that we should see at least a teaser image of the MK9 1/4 Sub Zero statue in September, can you say when it might go up for pre order?Cheers!

[Joppula]

Hello Jerry,

Any thoughts on acquiring the license to Final Fight?

I know it niche, but it'd be a dream come true for some of us old school Capcom fans.

[SARFARAZ]

Hey Jerry. Got more street fighter questions for ya!

1. Apart from the Akuma bust, will we see any other pre orders for anything street fighter this year?

2. Will we see any pics of Balrog before NYCC and when would he go up for pre order?

3. How is Balrog looking? I mean without giving away the pose, do you feel he's come out looking nice?

4. Can you tell us if his gloves will be sculpted or mixed media?

5. Will he include his fight money?

Thanks!
