It’s pretty rare in this day and age for a high-end resin statue to go from the pre-order stage to shipping to collectors’ doorsteps within a one-year timeframe. That’s why I’m surprised—and pleased!—that for the second time in two months, I can talk about a First 4 Figures statue that’s gone through from the PO stage to the doorstep phase in the same amount of time it takes for a real baby to go from conception to delivery: the first shipments of the F4F Soul Calibur Taki Statue that went up for order last October have started to arrive!
