The3rdChildren Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Great, finally some pics. I'm posting this before I react. [edit] Wow, those are looking very nice, but they're pricey eh?
EchoDesiato Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Fierce Deity Link looks so badass, but probably costs a lot.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Pardon my ignorance, but why are the Metroid ones lacking in comparison with the Zelda figures?
triforcemario Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Wouldn't this really belong in the general chat board?
AshMat Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 $85?????! But looking good. Still, i'd rather have Locke than Fierce Deity. :p
soag Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Pardon my ignorance, but why are the Metroid ones lacking in comparison with the Zelda figures? Cos they have yet to get painted, what your seeing is just a prototype, wait til they get painted, they will look the sex.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 The Zelda ones will be bought im not really bothered about the Metroid ones. Fierce Deity Link looks awesome.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Cos they have yet to get painted, what your seeing is just a prototype, wait til they get painted, they will look the sex. Ahh, i see. Thank you, Son of a Goat.
Owen Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 It will be 'Young Link' and 'Link from Twilight Princess' for me! Anyone got any pics of these?
Sparko Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 I really like the Sheik one, I don't know if I'd be willing to pay that much though..
Sméagol Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Hmm. When I saw the newsitems of those collectibles on this site, I thought the designs looked terrible for the Zelda series. I have mixed feelings now I see actual pictures. I took a look on their site (first4figures) and their other work doesn't look spectacular as well, at least in my opinion. The Metroid figures look good, but I think their design lend themselves more for good looking figures. I think the Feirce Deity Link looks awful, but to my surprise, I thought Sheik was pretty decent. I'm still curious what they they all look like, when they're finished though. They should've gone to some Japanese companies for their figures though, they're good at that stuff (check out your favorite animes on http://www.hlj.com for example), or if they want an American company, McFarlane. Their stuff looks excellent. Still, I hope these things sell well, hopefully we even see more merchandise in the future. I was looking for Metroid merchandise some time ago, and the only thing I could find was a horrible Samus action figure. There don't seem to be many collectible figures of Nintendo characters.
Helmsly Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 The Feirce Deity Link is now for sale on the first4figures site:http://www.first4figures.com/exclusivesproduct_detail.asp?range=19&id=43 And there's some more pcitures of it too Price $129.99
Hero-of-Time Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Well I now know what im buying on my next payday. That statue is insanely cool.
Goron_3 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Wow! Those Zelda ones are amazing. I think i'll be putting them on my xmas shopping list.
Platty Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Damn these look pretty good.... bit expenisve but im really tempted to get the zelda ones.
dabookerman Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I will be getting the Twilight princess Zelda and Link Varia Suit Samus annnnnd Ganondorf and Link from oot
The3rdChildren Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I'll probably buy a few, but not that Fierce Deity Link one. God, that design has always seemed terrible to me. I suppose it'd be something to review on my Eurofusion blog if I can afford them at these prices.
