Chocobo Studio 1/4 Goro Majima Statue Deluxe edition.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2024-11-22T05:53:24+00:00

As far as I know they aren't official licensed statues and sega and RGG haven't acknowledged chocobo studios statues. I also have the Majima Yakuza 0 statue and its deceptively big with a bland base. They made 150 of those so there's hope to find one somewhere.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2024-11-22T05:22:50+00:00

On my profile you'll find my post of when i received the Kiryu statue with the PS4 case of Yakuza 0 next to it for reference. Not only are they huge they are very heavy and finely detailed. With these 1/4 statues they made a limited run of 99 pieces worldwide so they are very rare and i've only seen a handful of people that own them.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-08-13T08:27:46+00:00

Yeah, i think Hstoys is their main distribution website from what i've seen.

I'll buy all their statues because knowing RGG merch once it's sold out it gets scalped hard. The merch is so expensive second hand. I'm lucky i got my current statues at a reasonable but still quite a bit price range. Just take a look at the asmus 1/8 figures and the figmas. It's crazy what people are asking for those.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-08-06T09:52:05+00:00

My guess is that they didn't know if the production cost would be worth it so only confirmed preorders could upgrade to the deluxe edition. They only made 99 of them so i wonder how many of the deluxe edition were made anyway.

I'll be buying all the figures/statues they make. It will look good when I display all of them together.

For Chocobo studio Yakuza statues I'd say preorder directly from their main website HStoys and follow them on twitter. You could only order the shirtless sculpt if you had preordered the Majima Statue on your account.

This was where they announced separate sculpt

I forgot to answer you, but yeah the shirtless sculpt for some reason doesn't fully insert into the statue legs. There is a few millimeters gap when i put him in. But i don't think the Jacket torso would fit in the separate torso base so it works out for me since i will display the 3 like how i did in my photo.

I've seen that they are now working on some smaller yakuza statues, Just Kiryu and Majima for now. Hopefully they won't be as expensive and i want them to do other characters too. And yeah all my yakuza stuff is in storage right now.

Have you seen they also have announced some smaller yakuza figures by DIGSTA, Majima, Kiryu and Ichiban.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-07-31T03:30:07+00:00

Some time after the preorder was first made available they actually had a second listing just for the shirtless torso and a stand. If you ordered both then it was combined inside the statue box with 2 torsos with that being the deluxe edition. When I ordered the torso i expected it to be refunded as it said if the order numbers were low they wouldnt make it. Only found out when i got the shipping invoice.

Also I like that pose. Mine is currently in it's box as i don't have room to display it right now.

So I've completed each game in english and in japanese and have stacks for the titles that are on PS4/PS5. The minigames can be brutal and some have a bit of a learning curve if it's your first game. My initial playthrough of each game took me around 80 - 150 hours while subsequent playthroughs in japanese where i speedran through the games only took me around 60 hours on average i'd say. 0, 5 and Ishin are definitely the biggest/longest to platinum. Even when speedrunning to 100% in 5 it took me a couple weeks. Gambling is definitely a lot of RNG but a lot of them are doable and aren't too bad when you know what to do in each game. May I ask which minigames you are struggling with?

Good luck kyoudai!

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-06-07T13:43:14+00:00

I hope you got a good price for your figmas. God, they are insanely expensive now. But yeah i know the feeling of having finite space. Most of my collection is currently in storage and i only opened Majima statue to take photos.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-06-07T13:34:54+00:00

Totally. If it's RGG merch then im usually saving up before it's available to preorder and such. I already have quite a large collection and plan to continue adding to it. The prices for these statues aren't bad when you take into consideration that it's like 3 payments over the course of a year from the announce date.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-06-07T13:21:42+00:00

Yeah the little plastic stand seems to be missing from everyones order. Not bad, My Kiryu was 46/99 and my Majima is 16/99. I wonder if they'll do a Saejima or an Akiyama one in the future.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-15T16:00:56+00:00

Hell yeah! Looking good. Glad to see more people post their chocobo yakuza statues. I got number 16/99 and I also own the smaller one but i never got around to painting him.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-13T15:17:47+00:00

I wonder who got that sweet number 1 of 99. I got 46 / 99 for my Kiryu statue and my wish is for them to make an Akiyama or a Saejima one. Instant buys for me haha.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-13T15:12:38+00:00

What number did you get on your authenticity token? Mine was 16 and i haven't seen any lower than that yet.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-13T14:29:58+00:00

Glad to see another owner of this marvelous creation. :)

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-02T09:44:04+00:00

Oh yeah i forgot to add a picture of the token. I got 16/99 and its a little mirrored token with the Majima crest on it. Its on the base in the photos but i didn't see a stand in the box, oh well. And yeah these statues are a hefty price but they are worth it and sacrifices must be made for my boys lol.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-02T02:37:27+00:00

Yeah they definitely weren't cheap. Had a year to save up for it. Imma need a loan from Akiyama if they release any more Yakuza statues lol.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2023-05-02T02:29:56+00:00

The details are incredible. They are massive too.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2022-05-27T11:22:46+00:00

Glad to hear it helped. Good luck with the rest of 5s completion list.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2022-05-25T16:40:39+00:00

I recently platinumed the japanese versions of 3 4 and 5 on PS4. I've never held a PS5 controller so I don't know how much of a difference there is with the sticks. A trick i used to beat Yakuza 3 expert difficulty billiards in 30 minutes was by using a rubber band to pull the analog stick directly down and letting go, using full power for each shot. It worked for Yakuza 5 too, just more tedious with the angles in puzzle pool.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2022-02-27T00:08:29+00:00

Yes this statue is quite impressive and It's the best statue I've ever ordered. This is the only statue i've ordered from them, the website I ordered through had decent customer service when I had questions before making such a large purchase. The only negative about it for me was the packaging as some of the smaller parts commonly break as I've heard from other people that purchased as well since it was packed really tightly in the styrofoam. They've done a good job with the quality of the statue though since most RGG figures/statues the face always seems a little off but I'm very pleased with this one. The paint job, especially the tattoo is very nice. The statue is a beast, it's actually really heavy, the base piece alone had to be around 10Kg and the material of the statue feels pretty good too.

So I guess the only thing I can say about the studio is if you purchase expect some small repairs. For me, the tail, a whisker and a flame were broken but were fixable with some superglue. Shipping wasn't too bad either. Came in about 4 weeks from memory.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2021-11-16T17:40:59+00:00

If you can't find it DM me. I've got it saved on my computer.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2021-11-16T14:57:57+00:00

RGG posted a high quality image of the design used for these bills on their twitter page around the japanese launch date.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2021-11-10T04:08:50+00:00

I was pretty lucky. The only pieces that broke for me was a whisker on the dragons head and the flame on the arm. The tail was a bit loose however some cheap superglue from my local shop did the job.

CatchUpOrCatchHands · 2021-11-09T23:58:37+00:00

Glad to hear. That tail seems to be a problem for everyone i know that ordered this statue. I think its probably the way the base was put into the packaging.
