Kingdom Hearts fans have been crying out for statues for many years now, but complicated licensing and Square-Enix’s stranglehold on the franchise mostly kept other companies out of the KH merch game until last year. But after releasing their first waves of action figures in the line last year, Diamond Select Toys brought along the first three entries in their Kingdom Hearts Gallery PVC Statues series to this month’s New York Toy Fair!

I’m on assignment in New York City for New York Toy Fair 2018, so I didn’t have the opportunity to LIVE Recap the F4F Q&A livestream this morning (trust me, it breaks my heart too). But while I haven’t had the time to fully watch that 4-hour video and recap it just yet, here’s a consolation prize: a full recap of the 1.5 hour Making of Dark Souls SD Artorias Documentary! Chibi or no, after watching this video, the latest F4F to go up for order is one of their most impressive statues to date…

Two years ago, First4Figures launched their Dark Souls resin line with their Artorias the Abysswalker statue.

And this time, the box isn’t the only thing that’s exclusive…

Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails. Shadow. Silver. Knuckles. Even Doctor Robotnik. First4Figures has covered almost every main character from the Sonic are Hedgehog franchise in resin statue form now. Almost. There’s one omission that glares brighter than the other: Sonic’s sort-of girlfriend, Amy Rose. But there’s hope for the pink hedgehog: voting is going on now that could make the first resin Amy Rose statue ever a reality!

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…

One of the craziest things in First4Figures history occurred last September, when the F4F Solid Snake Statue was revealed, blasted by feedback, and went back for improvements after a short three-day pre-sale. It’s taken more than a third of a year, but the First4Figures Snake statue finally goes back up for order following today’s F4F Q&A #55! Plus: How big will Gravelord Nito be? Will there be an official Attack on Titan TT poll? Possibility of variant colors for Warp Star Kirby or Phoenix Wright? When will Banjo-Kazooie be fully revealed? And more!
