Same thing. The concept art is pretty cool, I could definitely have that sort of a statue hanging around.

BTW Jake/Emily, in my opinion the telltale newsletter could encapsulate these kind of 3rd party tidbits too. That is if in addition to advertising your products you want to provide your beloved fans with the fan info they also very much appreciate.

But that's just me. It would be great if I didn't miss the release of this statue for example by reading the Telltale newsletter.

Can't wait guys

These will be numbered, yes? (can we pick our number?)

I think they do mention third party stuff in the newsletter if by which, the TT newsletter and the TT Blog are the same thing since the latter did mention the statues and the cartoon on DVD; I don't check the newsletter too often as oppose to the blog.

Given that we have cooking recipes and a fake advice column, I think it's safe to say that we also like covering actual relevant things, like 3rd party Sam & Max products. When we know about them ahead of time, we try to mention them. Frequently this sort of thing just comes up out of nowhere, though. For instance, I think both Emily and I found out about these statues from this very thread!

Steve doesn't keep you guys updated when he drops by? I thought you were tight!

Edit:

Another update from that "J" guy

It’s not a cost issue. Actually, it is a lower cost for us to make more as we get a better break on polyresin production and shipping. We do low runs so our lines stay collectibles. We want to make sure that all our items keep their value and you, as a fan, know that the item is something better then you could get at a big box store.

We will sell them on our site and hopefully on the Telltale Games site. Also, we will hold a very limited number out for conventions.

If the first statue sells out we will do others. Steve Purcell has drawn several pieces of statue art for us to use. We are big fans of his work and would love nothing more then to keep making Sam & Max products!

He alludes to that sort of thing all the time, but as for which ones become real, and what gets announced when by companies who aren't us, we don't really know or have (or want) any control over, so we just roll with it.

So Steve is like that kind of friend who thinks out loud? LOL j/k

I'm almost afraid of not being able to snatch one up in time. I'll just have to stay ready by the puter and anticipatedly wait with credit card in hand.

Linque · 02/12/2008, 02:04 am

Oh yeah I did read that blog post. I was in stupid mode when I wrote that post. Somehow I was able to forget that.

The statue is being sculpted now. We should have final images in about 6 weeks.

That would be around the middle of April, so maybe it will be ready for purchasing by early May. :fingerscrossed:

wisp · 03/03/2008, 04:44 am

i wouldn't count on it. if the sculpting is finished in april, it might take a month or two to cast all the copies, since they're not mass-produced.

Emily · 03/03/2008, 07:07 am

I chose not to include the statue in the last newsletter because other than the announcement that had already been posted on the blog, we didn't have any new information. If/when we add them to the store, it'll be mentioned in the newsletter, for sure.

wisp · 03/04/2008, 01:18 am

i dearly hope the balance between rarity and affordability will be...ahh...fortunate.

xChri5x · 03/04/2008, 01:24 am

I'm trying not to get too exicted about this, but once they start releasing screenshots it's going to be extremely hard. Maybe if by the time they come out I can afford to drop over $100 on a statue I'll jump on it.
But from looking at their other products (which I assume are "statues" as well) they only sell them for $50. So hopefully it'll be the same for our statue. If so, it's really just going to be a race to buy them before they sell out. Hopefully I'll come out on top then, lol.

Kitmit13 · 03/04/2008, 12:35 pm

I want a max toy more than anything...

*Hero1* · 03/04/2008, 11:19 pm

I hope Emily doesn't promote the statue, I want to jump on that pre-order before it sells out!

wisp · 03/05/2008, 12:09 am

..but isn't this her job?
