DIMIC

Figure, Preview / July 4, 2012

I've been away for a few days, just visiting my family for a week and had a bachelorette party (no, not mine), and what do I see when I get back? First 4 Figures announced a new statue! And not just a new statue but also the first one in a new line! And I must say, minus some details, that I'm liking what I see.

No, it's Modern Sonic! Yes, the same company that brought us that cute Classic Sonic statue (and the slightly larger Super Sonic) is now releasing the modern version of the blue blur.

Last weak First 4 Figures announced a new statue in their sonic line. This time F4F nailed the second sidekick Tails, and boy oh boy, they did a marvelous job.

Figure, Review / November 4, 2011

Quite a while ago I reviewed the first statue from the Master Arts line of First 4 Figures which was the incredible Zant. Now, almost a year after I pre-ordered it, it's the turn for the second statue of this series: Wolf Link and Midna. Even though I don't like one of F4F choices regarding this statue (namely; increasing the edition size after the initial pre-order opened), this statue is still well worth the wait.

The only decent Sonic statues are produced by First 4 Figures. They're the only ones that are creating the iconic figures from both the games and the cartoon I loved as a child. And now, they put the fourth of the series online for pre-order; Knuckles the Echidna!

I've been waiting for this statue for quite a long time. I had it pre-ordered on the First4Figures website but canceled because I could get it a lot cheaper local. And since it didn't matter where I bought it, because there isn't an exclusive version and I already got a lot of different numbers in this line, I ordered it here. They almost made me regret it because they didn't contact me when it was in stock! A lot of trouble later, I'm holding the great Sage of Fire in my hands!

One of the only companies that makes nice game statues is First 4 Figures. It's also one of my favorite companies. They made (and are making) excellent Zelda, Sonic and Metroid Prime statues. On of their earliest Metroid Prime statues was the sexy Samus Aran in her Zero Suit. That suit first appeared in the GBA game Metroid: Zero Mission where she was striped of her Power Suit. And I don't think many will find it a bad thing she was 'striped'...

Interview, News / June 20, 2011

You probably already know that I like to question people and since the previous interview with Pop Culture Shock went really well I thought about interviewing another company. I thought long and hard and finally figured out which company/artist/person was next. This particular company also makes game related statues but no Capcom. They made the Sonics I already reviewed and a lot more that's on my to-do list. Of course, these will be reviewed after my last exam. Still have to do 2. Hence the fact that I haven't posted anything for a while. Bugger... Anyhow, this time, it's First 4 Figures their turn!

First4Figures is one of the few (if not the only) companies that makes decent Nintendo statues. Their biggest lines consist of The Legend of Zelda. This statue of Zant is the first one in their The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess 1/4 Scale “Master Arts” line. Big words for 'just another' Premium Format/Mixed Media.

When I saw the first one in a local games shop, I was sold. Now, about two years later, the second one arrived and it got me thinking. And sadly, not in a good way...
