I think those are the gamesculpts. I saw that too and it looked like they were just promoting the game assets. I don't think they are making all those monsters.

Yeah they are from the game, Kira however mentioned they will be doing a ton of monsters. I'd assume mainly for the dios.

The dynamic dios will be 1/4
I wish these were 1/6 scale so they would fit nicely in to my collection. 1/4 takes up quite a bit and space is a premium haha.

Yeah exactly. Their Batman stuff looks excellent but I have neither the space nor money for multiple 1/3 scales.
Would be great if they offered 1/6 versions of everything too. I'd dish out $500 for Geralt and Ciri then, as opposed to $1700+.

Man those designs are disgusting as ****. Wouldn't want any of them except that werewolf, but even he's all disproportionate and gross. Shame.

I told myself I could never justify spending the money on a Prime 1 statue. And now they go and do this. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Thats a fairly old thread, but am I the only one who thinks their statues are lazy? It's liek they barely put any effort into design. Sure there are some details, but all those statues look generic as hell. Boring poses. Even some of the cheap pvc statues look better. As much as I dislike Sideshow, I think they have made some of the best statues out there. Look at Mythos line, especially Kenobi, Vader and Boba Fett. Or Fall of the Empire statue. They all tell a story. It's something more than just a pleasant looking statue. I wonder why collectors dont mind companies being so lazy. I guess its because majority of them dont even bother to displaythose peices properly and simply squeeze in as many of them on one shelf as they can. After seeing some collection tour videos on youtube, I come to conclusion some of the so called collectors are indeed hoarders.
Prime is very safe. They just make really big statues with good details and try their best to make the safest most typical poses in the process. If they were 1/8th scale most of their statues would probably be extremely boring, but because they do 1/3 + they have a lot of presence.
What are you talking about?
Okay then godzila is clearly on catfood then.
I am talking about Prime1 statues. I have seen another thread on a different forum where people discussed about statue of Eredin. One user criticised them for makig those statues look so boring, to which Prime 1 employee responded, that they didn't want this particular statue to stand out from the line. Which in other words mean (and that has been proved by time and new photos their shared) that the whole lineup is designed like this. In literary the most boring way ever. He also added that they cannot satisfy everyone with their choices. That is like one of the dumbest excuses one could possibly make. Most of the people (like 99.99%) who are going to buy those statues wouldnt mind if the poses were more dynamic (not talking about something over the top of course). At this point I am not even sure what do we pay for. Chunk of polystone, painted by a low-paid chinesee factory worker isnt worth that much. Sure there are details, sure there paint apps are good, but there is literary nothing more, maybe except for the size (which, obviously and amazingly, is the only selling point). Look at those statues and compare them with their cheaper pvc alternatives that are going to come out some time this year (at 30-40$ each, by dark horse). The only miniscule difference is are the details (pvc is not as sharp obviously), except only for the size. Poses for the statues are literary the same (wouldnt be surprised if they were designed using the same files provided by CDProjekt RED, which would confirm my point of them being just lazy bastards). To my it's insane that you somebody is willing to spend such exhorbitant amount of money and not really have any expectations. If you ask me what a good design is, then like I said, look at some of the Sideshow statues, such as fall of the empire, Boromir (captain of gondor), mythos Kenobi and Vader. Now imagine them in boring, tree stump poses. All the magic would be gone if its just going to be a regular, stock model, seen on pretty much every single promotional material for the game (most of which looked terribly boring imho).
And seriously, go ahead and compare the dark horse and prime 1 withcer statues.

Ok godzilla I think you may be drunk! Prime1 didnt even show the full statue and you start criticizing them calm down.
Heres the comparison pics Ciri and Erendin look in term of pose but others look nothing same as the Dark Horse.
I really suggest not to compare plastic toy to Polystone Statue is like comparing cheap steak against A5 steak but if you cant tell differences i should recommend you to go with the cheapest version should serve you well.
