It feels a little bit surreal to say, but after months of darkness, there is finally a light: F4F CEO Alex Davis and King Chockles return to us at last with an all-new livestream this morning! What’s the big occasion? Just in time for Halloween, the Nintendo F4F Luigi’s Mansion PVC Statue Exclusive Edition is now up for order! We’ve seen it shown at events before, but details were scarce. But now, First 4 Figures is ready to show and tell all! Don’t have the time or ability to watch where you’re at? No sweat–I’ve got you covered with the LIVE Recap…
Welcome back, F4Fans! This site has basically been on ice while Alex and Chockles have been on hiatus, but that doesn’t mean I’ve gone silent!
In fact, if you’re wondering about some of the things you’ve missed First 4 Figures-wise during the Dark Age, be sure to check out some of these Unofficial Weekly Recaps where I discuss all the news, sneaks peeks and more from each week!
If you’re still waiting on your Varia Suit Samus statue and want to see how it turned out, you may be interested in seeing my unboxing video of Nintendo’s best bounty hunter…
And what the hell… here’s me unboxing one of my grails, the F4F Pac-Man Statue, for no reason at all!
But on to what you all actually came for: all of the details on the long-awaited and much-demanded Luigi’s Mansion statue from First 4 Figures!
Luigi’s Mansion PVC Statue Details:
- Will go through pricing structures, shipping, and details of the statue during this stream
- Hopefully the pre-orders for the Exclusive Luigi statue will go live at 10:30AM EST
- This will be a very concise stream about Luigi’s Mansion PVC solely
- Standard version in box being shown on the stream, already complete and in-package!
- Tall box, quite slim; matte box with some gloss to it and a wavy cut to give a “scary” impression; gold trim and stencil-etching effect where the UV printing is
- 3-Sided Window Box for the 9″ Luigi statue; has the Luigi’s Mansion 3 logo on it
- Designated TF-006 in the True Form PVC product line
- Insert in the package is a diorama backdrop; pamphlet is included with bonus rewards points
- A massive pleasure for First 4 Figures to work on and develop
- Pose is specific to the whole point of the actual game–being scared and going after ghosts
- Lovely texture on Luigi’s dungarees
- Really happy with how the face came out; think the eyes look really stunning and have a lifelike look to them with a lot of graduation to the eye effect–realistic
- Managed to get all of the dots going down the stitches, and it looks fantastic
- Lots of great details that you might not see at first, but which look great when you do notice them
- Standard edition should be available at local retailers, with pre-orders going live in the next few days
Luigi’s Mansion Statue Collector’s Edition:
- Exclusive Polterpup with very happy expression and lively look with tail up in the air
- Great contrast between the happiness of Polterpup and the scaredness of Luigi
- Glow in the Dark pawprints and carpet rolling up a little bit in the Collector’s Edition
- There is a significant weight to this piece
- Polterpup lights up, as does Luigi’s backpack goo–this appears brighter on the livestream than it actually is because of the exposure
- Flashlight also glows with a yellowy-orange color; contrasts well with green light-up goo and white light-up Polterpup
- The Collector’s Edition with blue holographic sticker will be available to order from local retailers! This is NOT exclusive to the F4F Website!
- But wait, there’s more!
F4F Luigi EXCLUSIVE Edition:
- There’s also a fancy edition EXCLUSIVE to the F4F Website including a deluxe pox, numbered base, authentication card and gold holographic sticker
- Standard Edition Price: $79.99
- Collector’s Edition Price: $99.99 (with Polterpup and Light-Up Functions)
- Exclusive Edition Price: $114.99 (Numbered Edition with Premium Deluxe Box)

- This is already deep in production!! Should ship out this quarter (October-December 2019)
- Those who pick 6-month plans will be on Flexipay plans that go on past this statue’s release since production is already pretty far along
- Shipping Costs: $25 USD to US; $35 USD to Europe and Canada; $55 USD to Australia; $65 USD to Zone 3 and 4
