Geekscape Toys: First 4 Figures Recreates Ganon’s Puppet Zelda

by Natalie Kipper

First 4 Figures, purveyor of fine gaming art pieces, recently listed their latest work for pre-order, “Master Arts” Ganon’s Puppet Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Inspiration for the piece is taken from the scene where Link is forced to battle Princess Zelda, who is in caught in the grips of Ganon’s curse.

While I personally find this statue to be spooky nightmare fuel, the craftsmanship that First 4 Figures is known for is still evident. You can get a better look at the figure, from all different angles, at First 4 Figure’s site. I was particularly impressed by the detail on the dress and the eerie markings on her skin, indicating the curse. Ganon’s Puppet Zelda is 1/4 scale, standing at 15 inches tall, including the base. Each one is cast in polystone then hand-painted. This piece is limited in edition size but exact numbers have yet to be released.

“Master Arts” Ganon’s Puppet Zelda is scheduled to release in the third quarter of 2016. The figure will cost $349.99. The payment can be made all at once upon shipment of the figure or in three monthly payments (see the listing for more information).

Sail The Skies With This New ‘Skies Of Arcadia’ Vyse Figure!

by Josh Jackson

Maybe you picked up the classic RPG, Skies of Arcadia, on the Sega Dreamcast, a console that was ahead of its time, but ultimately couldn’t withstand a decade of bad decisions. Maybe your were like me and didn’t get to try it until the enhanced Gamecube remake. Either way, those who have played it can go on for hours how incredible this game was, from its battle system and story to its ship battles that still put Assassin’s Creed to shame. Now, courtesy of First 4 Figures, you’ll have a chance to own the captain of the Blue Rogues himself, Vyse!

Featuring both a standard and exclusive version that brands his trademark cutlass, Vyse has been recreated on a 1/6 scale. Vyse measures approximately 11″ tall on his own, and from the foot of the base to the tip of the pirates flag, the entire statue measures an impressive 17″ tall.

This is the third Sega All Stars figure, which included Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighter and Ryo Hazuki, the star of another Dreamcast classic in Shenmue. I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised that if they wanted to choose another character that represents Sega’s glory in its final days as a 1st party publisher, Vyse is who they decided to go with.

Vyse will be released in the fourth quarter of 2014. For more information, including pre order details and additional images, check out First4Figures.com. Afterwards, make sure to let us know if you’re planning on picking this one up!
