Mini-Statuettes in Merchandising!

Mothers_Love · 03-09-2009 11:59 PM

Anyone noticed mini-statuettes sneaking into the merchandising section of the PlayNC site? - Ok, so they are on the Guild Wars and Lineage II licences... but still.

Comon NCSoft, The Universe of 'City of' is ripe for a range of mini-statuettes.

Would love a mini Lord Recluse and Black Scorpion sitting on my desk.

They already do one!, A Lord Recluse Statuette that is!, and its not bad for £45! - Its certainly a lot better than its predecessor the Statesman one which had awful balancing on a terribly inadequate lug 'n' hole fixing and was prone to falling apart and shattering.

NCsoft should approach someone like 'Gentle Giant' or 'Sideshow Collectables' who both do astounding statues on all sorts of licences. The SuperHero fanbase would lap them up, If they were done by these companies they'd fly out the door (no pun intended) to both Subscribers and general SuperHero fans in my opinion.

Yea I saw these before. Was scowering the site a little while ago for the Statesman statue to go with my Lord Recluse one but no luck.

Would love a CoX Ipod skin though! I'd probably start using it again then

Nice find

Would love to have some more minatures, hope they bring out a few COH ones, as well as would like to see a few of the other classes from GW as well.

I hope they make something so we coul dget our chars made into small figures. I think WoW had something like that.

Would be cool with a Sapphic Neko and a Sapphic Shock sitting on my monitor, on each side of the plush turtle thats hanging off the back and peeking at me.

Oh yes, to order "Statuette of YOUR character"... *drewl*

Unfortuantly it is US only but would be nice if some UK companies would make custom models for us.

The problem with NCSoft making any of the signature characters is threefold:

A) NCsoft needs to learn how to do marketing.

B) If they produce a range of characters every player will start grizzling that they want their character made. It could become far harder to manage than it is profitable.

C) Whilst it's possible to get quality statuary, to get custom work done is very difficult and often the quality is disappointing. It's one thing paying £50 for a Bowen bust of an established IP but for limited runs - and we know how quickly the fans can throw their hands up in horror.

Can't see it happening, which is a shame - and no independent company is likely to touch it for the same reasons

I demand... The Hamidon! Just think of having friends over, and then trying to explain what it is; especially if you hide him in the fridge, behind the lettuce...
