Yes. That will probably how it will be for Ryu.

Whatever is sold on our site will be receiving the exclusive hair. Probably 200 will be allocated to our website.

Just to clarify... the exclusive is a swap out short hair. NOT a whole new head for Ken. Our Ken was always designed to have one head from the very beginning.

I am sorry, but that sounds a bit cheap for an exclusive. At least give us (collectors) a whole head instead of "Change of hair". I have supported Kinetiquettes from the beginning and if this is going to be the route for exclusive, then you lost me as a customer.

not a problem for me... head can leave an obvious seam, changing the hair is a lot easier and won't leave a visible seam

The way they sculpted Evil Ryu the hair was separate and head was attached to the body. I think this is also the way they design Ken. A swappable hair piece makes sense no seam. Good point Dao2.

I could understand "Remember Me". Collectors want the most out of an exclusive.

For an Exclusive for Collectors, maybe add premium art print or something else swappable without making a major redesign..

Maybe make one of Ken's fist radiate like Oni.. After Ken throws his kick he ready to launch a punch. It could be either arms. It makes more sense his left cause its clinch already and Body dynamic wise. Right leg flying kick and then left punch ( swappable radiating fist)

Another possible variant different color fighting glove. Red or black color.

Another possible variant is maybe under Ken knee make a explosion attachment to statue. So its different from just the original.. Ken breaks the statue and by his knee is a explosion piece.


These are only some raw ideas. Adding something else will make the exclusive really special and maybe the toughest collector happy.

To me the hair piece is good enough as an exclusive. As a collector to say WOW. Maybe add another variant to make the exclusive more interesting ,fun and different from the regular version. Collectors will have to pay a lot more for shipping to get the exclusive. The expectation of collector will also be higher for an exclusive.

Maybe charge a little more for the exclusive but make it worth it.
Something different from the regular makes it fun for us Collectors.

The Ken statue already is awesome. Its just seeing if there any way to make an exclusive even better..

I'm still ordering exclusive Ken.. Great Job Kinetiquettes...!

Thanks for the input. But do note, we are not charging extra for this option. It's just a bonus for those who support us directly. KEN was always designed to be alpha ken. More importantly, we definitely didn't want a seamline under his neck for the sake of this option. Plus, if we didnt give this as an extra incentive, i dont think anyone would complain why there is no exclusive version.

Thanks for the suggestions and your support. We understand that people want more for getting directly from us. However, we also dont want those who are not getting directly from us, feeling that the one without the short hair is of lower value. We are not charging more for this extra short hair option. Its an added bonus.

Initially we didnt even like the idea of an exclusive version. However a few collectors have suggested the short hair version being exclusive to our website as an incentive for direct support. Yes, we could potentially add more incentives. But again, those who order directly from us usually gets more than just a short hair swap. They will also get discounts on future releases on this line and possibly first pre-order opportunity before everyone else.

Hope that clarifies things.
