Counting Stars on Warp Star Kirby First4Figures Statue

A tragedy almost occurred last year, when sluggish sales on the First 4 Figures Fighter Kirby statue almost led to the premature death of the figure series. But fans rallied for a release of an iconic version of Kirby that would be the definitive Kirby statue many collectors were asking for, and F4F listened: the First4Figures Warp Star Kirby Exclusive statue is now up for order! How long was this piece in development? What were the hardest parts of making it? How many cans tall is this statue?

REVIEW: F4F Fighter Kirby Exclusive Statue First 4 Figures

First4Figures Exclusive Fighter Kirby Statue Review

If there’s one thing I love more than looking at and talking about upcoming statues, it’s actually receiving and unboxing them and adding them to my collection. It’s been a long time since I received a new resin statue from First4Figures, but I was blessed to have the F4F Fighter Kirby Exclusive Statue I ordered last year from the F4F website turn up on my doorstep a few weeks ago. Does this statue of the hero of Dreamland meet all my lofty dreams for it? Read on…

F4F Bowser Statue at NYCC 2017

2017 has been the biggest year ever for First 4 Figures—and when I say “BIG”, it’s impossible not to think of their girthiest statue to date: the biggest bad in the Mario Universe, Bowser! I was among the first people in the world to see the F4F Bowser Statue at New York Comic Con 2017 last month, and I’ve been sitting on tons of hi-res photos of the bad boy ever since! With the F4F Bowser Statue now officially up for order and the ordering procedure being a bit different from the norm, I figure now is the time to share my photos of Bowser and an Ordering FAQ for THE BEAST…

World of Nintendo 4” Series 2-6 Figures Up for Order! BOTW Link!

Posted on by October 11, 2017
World of Nintendo BOTW Link 4 Inch Figure Packaged

World of Nintendo Series 2-5 didn’t exactly get amazing distribution (to say the least), leaving 4” figures like Lakitu and Inkling Girl near-impossible to find for many collectors (although both are available online for a mild markup). Hopefully the next series won’t suffer the same distribution woes, though, because it features characters most collectors are going to want, including Iggy Koopa, Mario Maker Mario, and… is that BOTW Link?!

F4F Q&A 36 Sif Snake Sheikah Slate

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!

F4F Q&A Chat with Alex and Chockles

If you’re like me, you hang on to every smallest morsel of F4F information that your brain can absorb. 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…

Review First4Figures Zelda Breath of the Wild Link PVC Statue

If someone held me at bow-and-arrow-point and demanded to know what my favorite collectibles company going today is, I wouldn’t have to think very much before replying “First 4 Figures”. First4Figures has been making high-end video game statues and collectibles for over a decade now, and the various resin Sega and Nintendo statues I have from them are among my absolute favorite toys that I own. But F4F is trying something new in 2017, as they jump into the PVC statue market with their 10″ Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Link statue. Does the trademark F4F quality carry over to this new style? Read on for my review…
