Gaming Heads Statuettes - Soldier

You could make a new map to subsidise the costs...

I've kind of been mulling over that same situation. I really just wanted the Heavy and Pyro (and maybe Engineer). But I have a feeling that as I see each one come out, I'll want it. And how long until that pyro statue is for sale? As it stands, they're releasing them just a little fast than one per year. This could mean that if any of us are waiting for a particular character that isn't the Heavy or Soldier, we could be waiting until 2018, and I might not care by then.. I hope they pick up the pace a little, drop the price a little, and put every last bit of skill and effort into these statues' designs. Couldn't hurt to give us promotional codes for a future figure if we've already bought one... they do have a field for that on the checkout page.

The only things that bug me about the Solider statue are that I wish it was more of a combat pose, and it doesn't quite look like it's to scale with the Heavy statue. His statue is actually an inch taller, according to the Gaming Heads website! That isn't right, is it? I want to put these guys next to each other on my shelf, and it's not going to look exactly right.

(also, if they ventured to do a tenth figure, a sentry gun would be neat)

You know what? I was looking for that EXACT picture when I started thinking about the scale of the two statues. Thanks for finding it. You're right, I guess the scale is correct, and now I'm happier. I somehow thought the Soldier was shorter than that. Would've liked a better pose for him, but all in all the figure's still pretty cool-looking.

And thank goodness they'll be making the TF2 ones faster. I'm craving a Pyro. He better have the flamethrower, and not just the axe or flare gun.

I'd prefer a pose where he's rushing into battle. I love the Heavy's pose. He looks like he's mowing people down.

On a related note, Gaming Heads says we should pay close attention to the (currently happening) Toy Fair if we're TF2 or Portal fans... so... Maybe some new statuette reveals soon.

Thought i'd post this in here as there isn't really any point in having another TF2 statue thread. Just saw this on Kotaku, they show the new Solly statues off aswell as some action figure/opposable HWG figures with interchangable fists/KGBs which look pretty cool. I might get the whole TF2 team of those if they're reasonably priced. Oh and the portal sentry looks awesome, a DIY/unpainted version like shown would be nice.
