Ironically enough, I actually did watch last week’s Q&A and jotted down all the answers, but I haven’t gotten around to typing it yet. I’ll have to circle back and post the answers from Q&A #38 soon, though, because this week was a huge week for 39th F4F Q&A, with Alex and Chockles revealing both the Soul Calibur II Taki statue going up for sale this coming week and also the first item in a brand new Dark Souls line! Let’s get straight into the recap…

Earlier today, I posted my review of the Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Collector’s Edition Iron Man & Captain Marvel statues and Infinity “Gems” box on Marvel Toy News, but that’s only half the battle (okay, more like three-fifths of it, but whatever). The other two statues in the Collector’s Edition set are two of Capcom’s biggest icons, and also the figures I was most looking forward to in the box set. Do the Mega Man X and Chun Li statues meet my expectations?

It was just about a year ago at New York Comic Con 2016 that I first laid my eyes upon the Storm Collectibles Street Fighter figures in person, and now I’m about to attend NYCC 2017–where I’ll be able to buy some of the figures in person for the first time! Storm Collectibles is coming to the Bluefin booth at New York Comic Con 2017 in just under two weeks, and they’re bringing exclusive variants of Ryu, Hot Ryu and Mortal Kombat’s Noob Saibot to the show!

Coming off of their highly successful 3-day pre-order phase 1 for their Solid Snake statue, you might think the hardest-working men in the collectible statue business would take a break for a few days. But nope! Alex and Chockles returned last Friday with the First4Figures Q&A #37 live-stream, which included the announcement of the next 3 TT polls, a new pre-order procedure coming to the F4F website, a brand new live-stream game segment and more! Here’s your weekly recap…

First4Figures is starting off new blockbuster lines one after the next in 2017, with Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and Samurai Champloo all getting their first entries during the summer. But their next launch is likely to be the biggest and most hype-worthy of the year for F4F, as it’s from a series that rarely gets high-end collectibles: the Exclusive and Day One Metal Gear Solid Snake Statues are now available for order!

After three frenzied days in Providence for HasCon (one of the most unique conventions I’ve ever done coverage of, no question), it was nice to return home knowing that there’d be three hours of video with the F4Family to look forward to! In this week’s F4F Q&A #36, we learned all about the revisions to the F4F Snake statue that goes up for order this week on the site (for real this time!), as well as the neon green Stealth Snake, the status of the BOTW Sheikah Slate, an update on Reala & Aika, and more!

While I was deeply immersed in Star Wars Force Friday II last Friday, “Fun Daddy” Alex Davis and Tsoek Cheung were delivered the 35th edition of the longest-running weekly Q&A with the head honchos of a high-end statue company! Topics covered included the reveal of the Metal Gear Solid Snake statue (that’s now been delayed from going up for order this week), as well as a major announcement of the next character to receive a TT poll: Donkey Kong! Read on for all the details and the full recap of the Q&A…

If there’s one thing in Street Fighter collecting life that’s certain, it’s that every new line of toys or statues that comes out will feature an Akuma and a Ryu. And sure enough, the Raging Demon is making his Bandai Tamashii 6″ figure debut just a few mere months after the most iconic Street Fighter character of all: the SH Figuarts Akuma figure is now up for order!

When First 4 Figures revealed their 1/4 Metal Gear Solid Snake statue yesterday–the first statue in their MGS line of high-end resin statues–it stirred up a lot of discussion and emotion from fans (to say the least). But there’s no collectibles company on Earth that’s more open to hearing feedback and making changes to improve a product than F4F, and just one day after revealing the prototype, First 4 Figures has announced proposed revisions are underway on their Metal Gear Solid statue of Snake that goes up for order next week!
