First 4 Figures Reveals Stunning Shovel Knight Collectibles

They looks nice at least.

Confirmed Shovel Knight is a fish lol

Look nice, but I'll stick with the amiibo.

Looks Spot on great.

300$...
No thanks.

Shiny...
$ 300 ?!

I'll be honest, I clicked because I saw a golden plastic Shovel Knight and thought the amiibo got a shiny new coat of paint, similar to the Mario and Mega Man amiibo.

150 a month... hmmmm
only 2 months saving
tempting~

Any time I hear F4F, I think nice statues but you better be willing to fork over a mountain of cash and one of your kidneys to buy them. That or you'd better find one of Shovel Knight's stashes of treasure.

Shouldn't they call the "????" character "Fishovel Knight"?

The day I start buying $300 video game statues is the day I start looking to go to a meeting of whatever the gaming version of AA is.

I haven't played Shovel Knight in a while, but I don't remember him being a fish. Did I miss that?

I can't believe those guys talked about the statue, but mostly the game itself, for a full hour. It would have been much more interesting to hear details about how the statue was crafted and why something that looks pretty simple is worth $300. Compare this to virtually anything that WETA Workshop cranks out near the same price and I honestly can't see the value in something that looks like a blown-up Amibo. Not released until Q3 2018, either.

Dev 1: Hey, we finally get to make our own overpriced collectible statue.
Dev 2: Aw sweet.
Dev 1: What's a funny joke we can put in it?
Dev 2: I dunno, have him be a fish or something dumb like that?
Dev 1: that's it.

If it ain't an amiibo it ain't for me.

My $7 Corrin (P2) amiibo looks better than that.

For a second there I thought they were amiibos.

Love his little face, but seriously though. How does he see?

@Daftbomb the black T in the helmet is supposed to be an opening for the eyes, nose, and mouth. They don't show anything because they wanted to keep the character design simple.

Link to Wikipedia page about it.

I collect anime and game statues (and games offcourse) for years but people that don't do that because of the price should remember that these cost that much mostly because all those hours of designing and hand painting cost time.

A $300 statue is quality stuff, comparing it to an amiibo is like comparing a full fledged Rolls Royce to a Honda...

Most of mine are around the cheaper €150, I only have 2 F4F ones (Samus and Sonic) and the damn expensive Witcher 3 one (I got it for 50% because it had no box)

I work hard for that stuff, I like it and it's only for collectors that like it, but people should learn not to compare such stuff to things like cheap mass produced amiibos.

Nice, but I'm still waiting for that Ornstein statue to become available. That's one of those pieces I'm really looking forward to next year, besides the Sideshow Iron Giant and JSC Fairy Tale series - those are no brainers anyways Anything else is going to have to wait no matter what.

@Meowpheel Figured that was the point of the helmet design, just get the impression his eyes are looking through the horns 🙃

I might preorder this ....price is pretty low.

Okay serious question, do people really buy stuff like this and put it on Center display dining room table?

It looks nice but $300 for this kind of thing is just ridiculous. I kinda like it when my amiibos are just the standard size anyways, big collectible figures like this always take up too much space IMO and I don't even like having something like that displayed anymore.

@Danrenfroe2016 I think some people have display shelves for these sort of things. I used to buy a lot of collectors editions of games a while back, a lot of them came with these big figures, I had a lot of them up in my old college pad and post-college place I was renting with buddies, but now that I am living in a nicer place on my own I no longer have anywhere I want to put them, most of them are just in a box somewhere. I still got my Titanfall robot on display, but that is it.

I have 5 Metroid/ Samus f4f, 3 Zelda, 3 Mario and the Crysis one lol I want the new bowser one! And I'm waiting on the new Samus next year hehe

@Danrenfroe2016 I keep my statues on shelves. Usually intermingled with my gaming collection.

They have really generous payment plans, spanning from 3-12 months while splicing the payment up.

You don't have to lump $300 down at one time.
Unless you choose to, of course.

The fish head is a joke isn't it.

@Ryu_Niiyama ok. See that sounds reasonable and normal and a great way to display them. It really threw me for a loop when the article stated center of the table LOL

I own two F4F statues. They are pricey but worth it if you can spare the cash.

These have gotta be extremely limited production. I can't imagine that many people are willing to shell out that kind of money for something like this. They are nice, but expensive and huge. How do you even display something like that?

These are large as it's cheaper and easier to fabricate. They're overpriced as they've gained some reputation for quality, despite the Chinese sweatshop labourers in use. Given how quickly they are knocking these out now it wouldn't surprise me if the profit margin was close to 99%

Nice.
