On Friday, First 4 Figures launched the second 1/4 Statue in the Okami series when the long-awaited F4F Shiranui Exclusive Statue finally went up for order. But with F4F, the pre-order is only half the fun: the rest is the plethora of multimedia that accompanies each new statue PO! As usual, there was a brand new Making of Documentary just for Shiranui, full of bonus Q&A. Don’t have time to watch the whole video or just want a written reference for things you may have missed? I’ve got you covered…

There’s an electrical excitement in the air today, as for what seems like the first time in forever, a new First4Figures statue that we’ve only seen in the shadows up until now will finally be revealed in all its glory: the F4F Okami Shiranui Exclusive Edition statue is now up for order! While we’ve had a few glimpses at the Celestial Doggy, he/she/it got a grandiose spotlight that a Brush God deserves as the main event of today’s F4F Q&A #68! There were also be the usual thousands (okay maybe not thousands) of collector questions answered, so stay tuned for the LIVE Recap…

Sometimes statue collectors do things that non-collecting might find a little, well… strange. Things like buying a statue for hundreds of dollars from a video game they’ve never played… or played and didn’t like it. Such is the case with me and the subject of today’s review: the First 4 Figures Katamari Damacy Dipp Statue! I hadn’t played Katamari at all when I fell in love with this statue, and hated the game when I did play it. But am I happy with my purchase nonetheless? Read on…

Earlier this year, I made an article to promote the interest poll posted by First 4 Figures CEO Alex Davis for a Modern Amy Rose Statue. That poll ultimately was a success—and now an Amy Rose Statue is officially in development! But when I shared that article, I was surprised to see just how many fans chimed in to say that they didn’t want Amy, but would definitely support a Blaze the Cat statue instead. And now you’ve got your chance to possibly make that a reality: an official poll gauging interest for a Sonic the Hedgehog Blaze statue is now open and awaiting supporting!

Did you think this week’s F4F Q&A would be dull just because we’re in Week 2 of the Berserk Guts Exclusive pre-order? You thought wrong! Not only is there a new Dark Souls pre-order this week, but we also get the answer to some burning questions like:
WHO will be the first Cowboy Bebop statue up for PO?
WHAT might the price be on Rider Link compared to Link on Epona?
WHEN would F4F seriously consider Yooka-Laylee?
WHERE might we see the Mario on Yoshi statue revealed and put up for order?
HOW many failed PVCs would it take to sink F4F?
WHY are Alex & Chock staring at that Mario Question Block?
All this and more in this week’s F4F Q&A #66 Recap!

“What is Guts, guys?!” First 4 Figures’ long journey to create statues based off of the Berserk manga and anime reached a milestone this part Friday, when four versions of the F4F Berserk Guts statue (including two exclusive versions) finally went up for pre-order!

My apologies for not recapping last week’s F4F Q&A #64–I was vending at Anime Boston 2018 and just couldn’t swing it. I didn’t want to repeat that tragedy, so I gave away my Friday PAX East badge for today so I wouldn’t miss out again! And this week’s a big one, as the long, long-awaited F4F Berserk Guts Statue is finally up for order after the revised version (and bloody version!) was revealed during the show…

UPDATE 4/5/2018: Someday very soon, my heart will break when I run out of ultra hi-res photos that I took at the F4F booth at New York Comic Con 2017… but it is not this day! I may be running low, but I still have some beautiful photos to share–and who’s more beautiful than the Black Swordsman, AmIRight? So in honor of the long, long-awaited Exclusive F4F Berserk Guts statue going up for order tomorrow afternoon, I’ve uploaded the last of my photos of the F4F Guts statue prototype from NYCC 2017!
