First 4 Figures Ryo has hit the North American warehouse! Payment notifications are in the process of being sent out, so you're going to have him knocking on your door any day now.
The European shipment is still in transit to the next warehouse, where it will hopefully arrive during October.
Looks like I am gonna miss out on this thing. I ordered it, but when F4F go to my bank, they won't find any money there. I haven't a penny to my name, surviving in Australia and haven't seen a wage in 6 weeks from the farm I am on. Either way, this statue is the last thing on my mind right now.
Cancelled my normal version months ago (because the pre order prices here in local gameshops where much cheaper than an online preorder) Last week I also received a shipping pending status for my exclusive model, where I had to check my payment and shipping information in my F4F profile. I also cancelled it.
Yesterday I got my statue in the mail~! Here's my unboxing. The details on this statue are very nice. The guys at First 4 Figures did an awesome job. Hopefully they bring us some more Shenmue statues in the future.
Looks like they did a commendable job. The details and paint job in particular look stellar (the seams on his clothing! The rivets on his jeans!). Though I kinda think he looked better when he had a rounder face. In one of those pics he looks almost as though he has Lan Di's face on Ryo's body. I know a lot of us theorise that Lan Di is Ryo's real father, but that shit aint official yet! Still, it's a nice statue, and that mirror base stays winning.
