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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

The longest-running weekly Q&A live chat with a statue company ever continued this week with the 8/11/17 First 4 Figures Q&A #32! I’ve been pretty busy the past month reporting on my other blogs about various collectibles shown at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but I finally got some free time this week to tune in and hear Alex Davis and Tsoek Cheung discuss the upcoming blind pre-order for their Bowser statue, tease big news at New York Comic Con 2017, fully reveal the Samurai Champloo Mugen statue going up for order next week and more!

Last month, First 4 Figures launched their first-ever Activision statue, with the immensely popular Crash Bandicoot PVC statue. This month–it’s Spyro’s turn! The First4Figures Spyro the Dragon statue will be going up for order on July 18th, 2017! 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…
