Statesman statue

Zwilinger and Ghost Falcon with the "Statesman de Milo"
"There's actually an interesting story about the Statesman statue. It was actually developed by NC Europe for the City of Heroes launch in February. Even on the base, I think there's a numbering? It's like 1 of 1400 or something. We did not make 1400 statues, or 1200 statues; only 440 were actually produced and, of that, only 80 made it to North America. 400 were held at NC Europe for distribution through their channels and also to, like, PR people? And the 80 that we had here were distributed to the staff of Cryptic, the staff at NCsoft, and a small number was held here. The company that actually produced it is no longer in business; so, if you ever get your hands on this, this is really really rare."

"If you ever win one of these in the contest just hold on to it, because I don't think we even have the molds for these anymore. Oh, and someone was asking about the Lord Recluse statue. Yeah, that was another initiative done by our NC Europe PR team, and literally as that mold was made the company that produced it went out of business. And so only a limited run was ever produced after, because we got access to the master mold, but I don't know who actually has the master mold, so if you see one of those, again, those are very very very rare. But I think the Statesman statue is rarer. And I think we've probably only given away maybe 10 of these, so, either through Hero-Con or online stuff, so whatever we have in stock, that's it. We're not going to get a resupply."

Yoohoo! I have a LR statue!!! The funny thing was I didn't even know that there were statues of COH produced. I just saw it on the European NCsoft site by pure chance and decided to purchase one. I believe they were actually even pretty cheap...A really good deal...

Damn! That one was definitely not available when i bought Recluse. I believe I would have bought it too, though I have to say Lord Recluse's statue looks much better!

Um, I don't remember. It wasn't the GameTrailers/Toyota one since they never gave me my prize (they danced around the issue for several months until I gave up emailing them).

Could be worse, could be the site of yourself mid-gasping-in-awe like Jesse...



They owe you a Toyota? I don't think I would have given up on that one. Are you sure it wasn't a toy Yoda?

No, no - I mean this one... I'm pretty sure this was your winning entry.

No, it was $500... now I remember, I got second place in this one, and the one Michelle is talking about was organized in the boards here.

The guy who won the Toyota also had issues; in his words: "they reserved X amount for the price of the car. Problem is...X amount didn't actually cover the cost of any car, definately not the model/build that they advertised. So I had to negotiate the price down with the dealer and come up with the money to cover the rest." So that whole contest was a mess when it came to giving out the prizes.

What are you talking about, Zwill? You are a BABE no matter what you're doing!
