The list of video game licenses that First 4 Figures holds has expanded rapidly over the last year, including the blockbuster announcements of Metal Gear Solid and the Activision licenses Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot. And this week, the family grew again, when F4F announced the acquisition of licenses for the Rare franchises Banjo-Kazooie and Conker. Never one to leave their fans waiting, sneak peeks of the F4F Banjo-Kazooie statue have already begun…

I wasn’t actually certain that anyone was going to want to follow a live, constantly-updating recap of the F4F Q&A, but it turned out last week’s first installment was a big hit. And so, for at least one more week, it’s time for the LIVE F4F Q&A #47 Recap with CEO Alex Davis & Chockles! Not only do Last Chance Weekend Exclusive Bowser Pre-Orders open today, but the long-awaited 35,000 members of the F4F Collector’s Club reveal is imminent…

F4F Recap Bonus Edition! There’s under a day to order the First 4 Figures Aku Aku Mask Prop Replica before validation for low numbers begins, but while we all wait to validate, let’s answer some burning questions like: “Is the Aku Aku Mask Wall-Mountable?”, “How many soda cans high is the mask?”, “Why isn’t the Aku Aku mask made of real wood?!”, “Why is there a wicked cool gold variant?” and more!

It’s the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, so millions of Americans are chilling at home today. But the hard-working heroes at F4F (almost) never take a vacation, and they’re back today with the 46th edition of the F4F Q&A with Alex & Chockles! And since I’ve got the day off myself, I thought I’d try something I haven’t done before: I’ll be live-updating the recap today, in which the First 4 Figures Aku Aku Mask goes up for order, we’ll have the usual dozens of questions answered in the Q&A and more!

As much of a Kingdom Hearts fanboy as I am, there’s one character in the franchise I’ve always felt a bit cold toward: Riku. The quiet, moody, “Sasuke-like” rival type is just not my thing, so when I do pass on a new Kingdom Hearts figure, it’s usually Riku. But when the Kingdom Hearts Static Arts Riku figure went up for sale, it was love at first sight and instant pre-order from me. Now that I have him, am I glad I do?

While we haven’t quite reached the threshold for the 35,000 members celebration and reveals, it’s never a dull week in the First 4 Figures Q&A livestream with F4F CEO Alex and Chockles! This week: Will 12-month plans be available for all statues from now on? Thoughts on a potential Attack on Titan statue series? Can you 3-D print Red Bull? Where does Alex see the company in 10 years? All this and more in the F4F Q&A #45 Recap!

You asked for it, and once again, First 4 Figures listened! Collectors have been asking for F4F to expand their popular Flexipay payment plans feature to cover in-stock items for a long time now, and today, that long-requested addition to the website has finally become a reality: all In-Stock items on the F4F Website are now available with payment plans of up to one year! Unfortunately, there’s no way right now to search for just In-Stock items in your region, but have no fear: I’ve compiled lists of every single in-stock item, organized both by item name and location!

When First 4 Figures opened pre-orders for their 1:4 Okami Amaterasu Statue way back in 2016, orders for the statue shattered all expectations with 1,350 pieces quickly selling out. Soon after, F4F started working intensively on more Okami statues. The Amaterasu Life-Size Bust went up for sale earlier this year (and you can still get on the Wait List for it), and as we approach 2018, we’re seeing more and more teaser photos of the F4F Shiranui Statue!

Ever since I caught my first unexpected glimpse at a line of Diamond Select Toys Kingdom Hearts Figures at New York Toy Fair 2017, I’ve been actively anticipating the line hitting stores. And now, ten months later, the time is upon us: the first Kingdom Hearts Select wave of figures are now available and shipping, including this DST Master Form Sora figure that’s the subject of today’s review! Is this Kingdom Hearts figure everything I’d hoped for?

I’m a bit of an oddball in that, rather than my interests fueling my collecting, my collecting frequently fuels my interests. That’s why when First4Figures announced their Katamari Damacy statues last year, I liked the looks of them so much that I bought one before ever playing the game. While the F4F Prince and Dipp statues have missed their originally scheduled release date by a wide margin, this past week we got a shipping update and the first production photos from the factory…
