Fantastic looking statues but wow, the final execution was a mess. I currently have both figures placed on two separate orders, which I'm hoping they can combine. I couldn't figure out how to simply put both into a basket and call it a day. Even now, the figures aren't on their homepage, which means you either have to search for it or have seen the newsletter. Stressful.

I sent them a professional but firm email asking them to make this whole process more upfront and smooth should they make any more Shenmue figures.

Now all we have to do is wait. Q4 is about the time snow starts to fall in Yokosuka.

It was a bit of a farce, your right, but these things happen. I just went for the exclusive edition. They are pretty good models and what seems like a reasonable price. Also they will start shipping around the perfect.time for a HD release ;-)

Really can't afford it but hope I can cancel later if I need to. Will get the standard for now(kinda like that version better) I kinda hope it comes out January 2014 so be a great Bday gift and not worry about Xmas.

So pre ordered for now.

The hand painting and hand numbering are very nice touches. Can't wait!

And yes Peter, these statues will only help keep Shenmue in people's minds and build momentum to what will hopefully end up in some kind of new game release.

I used a debit card and went through just fine. Did you not get a confirmation Email? If not check the spam folder

Maybe I'm missing something, but where is Ryo's watch on this figure?

Yeah I got the confirmation email, my order on the website says "pending" so that all seems fine. Just the fact they said they don't take debit card makes me think what the hells going on. I'm sure it's all fine and I hope I have one of the low numbers as I just ordered the standard edition, most people seem to have gone for the special un.

Not sure about you but when I wear a watch I don't wear it on top of my sleeves.

Just got a response from F4F saying they'll look into streamlining the website process for next time. Nice to see they responded so quick. These guys are alright.

I actually haven't worn a watch in so long, I totally forgot about that. You're right. :rotflmao:

Or probably the base the figure is standing on.



I thought about that for a few minutes, but surely that would make the thing seem a bit tacky perhaps? :-k

It looks good, but at the same time brings to mind the "How Shenmue Was Supposed To End" video, replacing the surf-sword with a comically enlarged mirror.

Yeah, looks good, I like the surf board mirror base too. I'll be interested to see people's pics when they eventually arrive, hopefully the factory produced statues will up to scratch.
