First4Figures unveils a new Sonic statue

Tails is coming after Knuckles. I'd say you should expect his announcement before this time next year.

 

Knuckles doesn't seem to look right. maybe its just his positioning. But still- something about him makes me feel like it is broken, I'm not sure what. Chest and teeth, probably.

 

I definitely want to see a better/full picture of Knuckles.

 

Exclusive


Regular

 

I just doesn't look as good as the previous statues, his feet especially are off model. A shame because the glowing lava really does look awesome, shame about the statue it's self. I'm definately passing on this one.

 

I don't see anything wrong with his feet. It's just his face that looks somewhat weird.

 

I was expecting him the have shoes that resembled other classic artwork, like this one from Sonic Jam



That charcter sheet is really a poor representation of his classic look.

It does sort of confirm that they are using the character sheets that were found on the art assets DVD, all the characters so far have the colour guide sheets.

 

Eh, I suppose making them longer wouldn't hurt. The pose he's in perhaps makes his shoes look too small. Still, I can't get over how off his mouth looks.

 

I know I'm echoing others, but I feel like the mouth is what's ruining it for me. I liked it better when I thought the teaser image had a cocky smirk. Part of that's just because I associate Classic Knuckles with a smile, but the teeth seem a little odd here. The foreshortening makes it look like he has a big head on a tiny body (more than usual) which doesn't go well with the whole "aggressive" look either.

The lava is pretty awesome looking though.

 

Agreed about the face, but the lava is really awesome, and since I am a total tool for buying classic merch, there's not a doubt in my mind about me grabbing this

 

I was worried with the first picture of the statue they showed (this one :http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150318993486732&set=a.385646146731.166046.129298161731&type=1&ref=nf)

But now I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I really like the side profile of it


Not that I will be buying it... First 4 Figures statues are a bit too rich for me... I'll be sticking with my 10-20 dollar Jazware figures. But its always nice to just lovingly oogle at the photos....

 

It's perhaps worth letting F4F know if you don't like something about the figure. They said they'll fix the eyes and sheild on the Link & Epona Exclusive afterall.

 

I preordered Kux Exclusive. I agree with the mouth and even the shoe issues, but even if they aren't changed it's still awesome. Knuckles was my favorite character before he turned all dumb, so this made the five year old in me jump out.

 

Sorry to double post, but this bump is worth it. They put this on their Facebook page yesterday.

 

Goddamn, all of these statues and no money in my pockets to own any of these. . . . Especially that Metal Sonic statue that made a while back because I would kill to have him sitting on my desk right now. You know, if I could actually make up the money for one of these statues that are "coming in 2012", I'd probably give it to a close friend of mine who favorites "him" very much!

 

They really should get these statues they promised out before they start announcing any more. Their 3rd statue is just just coming out after lots of delays and that's a 5th one they teased now. I think in the case of Knuckles and Tails I won't be pre-ordering and will wait for shops like Forbidden Planet to get them. The Super and Metal Sonic's are probably the two I was most looking forward to by far, though if there was ever a Robotnik that would be pre-ordered in a snap.

 

I got my Metal Sonic Exclusive Edition. #37, which is a kickass number. I haven't opened it up yet because I'm house shopping and I'd rather just keep as many things put away as I can for ease when I move.

One question though, since I got #37, it gives me a card thingie that gets me #37 whenever I order. Can this be applied to an existing preorder? (My Knuckles) If not, I'll have to cancel and reorder-- but there is a possibility I have a lower number than 37 with my existing order of Knuckles.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

It'll be automatically applied to any existing orders you have, so you're guaranteed Knuckles #37. There's a possibility that if you don't register the card you'll get a lower number Knuckles, but 37 is really low anyway.

EDIT: Actually, no that's not quite right. You're guaranteed #37 Knuckles if there's nobody else with a number #37 statue out there (because there's two versions of the statues, there's the potential for two people to have the same number). If there is somebody else, then it's first come first served for the registered number. If you don't get #37 you'll get the lowest available unregistered number, again delivered on a first come first serve basis.

 

Well, my (ex) girlfriend had preordered this as my birthday gift last year. Will that apply to my account? Is there a card inside that will make it apply to my account and its order(s)?

 

Yeah, there's a card inside with a uniquie authentication code on it. All you have to do is authenticate Metal Sonic on the account where you've pre-ordered Knuckles and then it's all sorted. It doesn't matter which account Metal Sonic was ordered from, just where it's authenticated.
