Yes. 100% scrapped.

Jerry said we will also get 1/4 Akuma next year!

 

[acme1982]

This is a master piece.

Jerry also said on his instagram the original 1/3 Akuma original is up for grabs for the right price. Be pretty sweet to own a 1 of 1 statue from PCS.
I'll be snagging the 1/4 as well, hoping they go with his stomp pose.

For real???

Yep, Jerry has been saying for a while on the other forum he will revisit some of the old SF statues.

I can't wait!

It's funny he announced the 1/4 Akuma revisit, you think it may hurt the 1/3 sales.

I'll prob snag most of them, not a fan of Juri or Dan so those will be the 2 that I for sure leave alone.

 

[Asdf]

I think Akuma is an exception. Since the first Akuma was so grail... no one is passing on these.

 

[BurningRage]

Want to see a Ken life size bust.

DEfinitely be nice displayy with Ryu

 

[Nipshank]

I skipped both the Akuma and Ryu LSB's, kind of regretting now. I'll be snagging the 1/3's and the 1/4's though, looking forward to 2015 from PCS.

 

[SuperJ300]

I'm more looking forward to 1/4 Akuma than the 1/3.

 

[Nipshank]

Gotta agree, the 1/3 line although it will be cool doesn't really slide into the collection well in terms of size. Either that or they'll produce all characters in 1/3 and we'll have to snag tons of them.
I heard this will be 1K, I think that's a little overpriced considering it's only 3" taller than Sagat 1/4. Guess we'll see but after seeing that if it hits 1k it won't be joining my collection.

I don't think it's just about it being 3" taller but it's also a lot more detailed sculpt wise as well. And we also have to account for the use of acrylic and light up features.

 

[Nipshank]

Agreed, I just don't think the extra's add up to a $650 difference. Mind you thinking about the cost of most SSC 1/4's and 1/2 LSF's, the price is still below what SSC would charge if they created the statue.

 

[SuperJ300]

Last I heard price will be around $899-$999
