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!

Last year, First4Figures began their anime line with the Saitama statue from One-Punch Man. The anime-themed series has gotten off to a bit of a slow start ever since, but F4F is ready to kick things into high gear in the remaining months of 2017! Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, Fullmetal Alchemist and more are on the way, but this week, hip-hop anime sensation Samurai Champloo takes center stage: the Exclusive and Day One versions of the First 4 Figures Mugen statue goes up for order this week!

I’ve seen a ton of people who are new to F4F and to high-end statues asking questions about this piece, so I thought I’d go ahead and put together an FAQ compiling all of the most frequently-asked questions about this hotly-anticipated upcoming pre-order…

But with the advent of the weekly First4Figures Q&A Chat, it’s become really difficult for collectors who don’t have two hours or more each week to listen to the Q&A. And so, during the weeks when I have the opportunity to do so myself, I want to start recapping the Q&A here with every tidbit that my little fingers can jot down during the chat session. I encourage everyone to watch the full Q&A chat video if they have the time to do so, but if not, here’s a compilation of some of the tastiest nuggets from the 6/30/2017 F4F Q&A #26…

But then the doorbell rang this morning and all plans went out the window when a new figure came in through the front door!

F4F fandom has been abuzz with anticipation ever since, and after going up for sale internationally the last few days, the exclusive F4F Zelda Breath of the Wild Link statue is now available for order in the United States!
Continue Reading →Fans of “The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” had to wait close to half a decade for the very first high-end statue from that video game to be released by First 4 Figures (F4F): the incredible (and incredibly humongous) Link on Loftwing statue. Thankfully, it looks like F4F fans won’t have to wait nearly as long to get their hands on the first official “Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” statue–following up Nintendo’s mega-ton press conference fully revealing the Nintendo Switch tonight, the First4Figures Breath of the Wild Link statue has now been revealed as well!
