I worked extra hours during college to feed my addiction to resin statues, so I’ve definitely been a hardcore resin collector for basically my entire adult life. Even so, I still know the value of a good PVC statue, and can be tempted by the right character or design. The subject of today’s review is the latter, as it’s a $100 PVC statue I purchased of a character I’ve never actually seen in a game at all! My Wait List order for F4F Dark Souls Artorias SD EX finally came through—and he was indeed worth the ‘Wait’!

It’s good news/bad news for Metroid fans today! The bad news is that all development made to-date on Metroid Prime 4 has been scrapped by Nintendo and work will begin anew (ouch!). The good news is that First 4 Figures is still going full steam ahead with work on future Metroid pieces, and today is Validation Day for the Exclusive Meta-Ridley statue that went up for order last week! How many fans will turn up to fight for low numbers, and what great secrets and information will be revealed in the F4F Q&A #104? Read on…

Last week, F4F launched pre-orders for what is beyond a doubt the tallest figure that First 4 Figures has ever, ever made: Meta-Ridley! Seven days later, Validation Day has arrived for the Signature Edition (with bonus Rewards Points and signed Alex Davis art card) and the best chance at securing a low number for this new Metroid Villains Series of statues! Still on the fence about this piece and trying to decide before validation, but don’t have time to watch the one-hour documentary? I’ve got you covered…

And so, Diamond Select Toys has just started shipping their Kingdom Hearts Select Series 3 Figures, including Tron Sora, Sark, Hooded Mickey Mouse and more! Let’s see how they turned out…

Sometimes, things are just meant to be. How else could you explain the fact that—over 32 months after going up for sale—the 1:4 First4Figures Varia Suit Samus Statue has finally been released and is in the first collector’s hands… within 24 hours of the next Metroid piece in the line making its grand debut! The F4F Meta-Ridley Statue will go up for order later today—and we can get a pretty good idea of how amazing the quality is going to be from these in-hand photos and impressions of Varia Suit Samus…

As I allocate more and more of my display space to high-end figures and statues, I’ve substantially cut back on my number of impulse figure purchases at random stores. But while I was at Target yesterday, I stumbled upon the first wave of World of Nintendo 2019 figures and knew a few were destined for my home. The World of Nintendo Parabones and Piranha Plant are already selling for $20+ each on the aftermarket—are they worth the fuss?

I stayed up late Thursday night writing my review of the classic First 4 Figures John Cena statue, and consequently ended up sleeping through the Friday Q&A. So now I’m up late again completing my documentation of this week’s F4F Q&A #102, where not only are Alex and Chocks joined by the mythical Michael Lai, but we also get the answers to revelatory questions such as:
WHAT would collectors think of Kirby PVCs and/or small dioramas like the Whispering Woods?
WHEN will the first resin My Hero Academia statue go up for order?
WHERE on the prospective pre-order schedule for the year are Dracula and Skull Knight?
HOW far along in development is that Dark Souls Artorias Life-Size Bust?
WHY isn’t Alex worried about the sales of Life-Size Busts and smaller busts cannibalizing each other? Chocks
WHO is eating white, creamy translucent stuff during the show?
WOULD anime fans like Fullmetal Alchemist PVC statues?
…And more!

Heroes that aren’t fictional characters are a rarity to me, but one man whose principles have been an inspiration to me for over a decade and a half is the greatest sports entertainer of all-time, John Cena. So when I discovered a couple years back that one of the men I respect the most made a statue of another of the men I respect the most, I knew I had to have eventually have it. The First 4 Figures WWE statues aren’t exactly easy to come by, but after eluding me for ages, the F4F John Cena Statue finally came home as a surprise Christmas present…
