Thread: Carbonox Ratchet & Clank Statue

Deleted user

This is most likely the most sought after Ratchet & Clank item in the world… thanks to its rarity and value, and I just saw this one on Auction now at Ebay

(No, I won't be bidding. Since I know how high it will go tomorrow heh)

So yeah, what do you guys think of it? I think it's freakin' awesome looking. Like those Ratchet, Clank and Qwark vinyls. But I'm not a hardcore enough fan to pay over $1000 for that, or even $500. Unless it was my fav character, then maybe… just maybe… emoji

But it's still awesome, nonetheless. 18 inches tall? dang!

I remember seeing this on DA, looks really cool, but too expenses for me.

WANT emoji

Yeap, it's already over $500 now XD

But it would be really neat to own it. And yeah, I did hear that the person who made and designed the original is on DeviantART too.

The design and form looks professionally well done, but yeah… I don't think I wouldn't pay more than 500 bucks for a figurine like that. And besides, Ratchet covered in armour from head to toe isn't really my cup of tea. It might be for some fans, but not for everyone.

agreed plus I'm not into bidding on things myself if I want to buy something online I buy it from amazon

Same here, I never buy the final armors just coz they cover all of him, I even think the 3rd armor in ACIT covers too much of him

I think so to. You can't see him and his plush furry body!

agreed. But it's just so well crafted, and even that Clank looks shiny!

Whoa, it went over $1000!

Well yeah, I'd never pay that much for a statue… at that price, I'd rather try making my own instead! Though I still wish I had more experience with sculpting R&C characters…

It's just a statue, no biggie emoji

I bid on one of these a while ago and was outbid at the last second!
It ended at $1150 and I bid $960 :/

Was gutted! D:

Also, if you all think that $1000+ for a figure like this is expensive then all of you have a lot to learn about collectables :b Just ask my cousin and his WoW figures.

Not necessarily. Some fancy collectibles can be less than 1000 dollars. I see some collectible statues of Legend of Zelda for around 100-200 bucks at conventions and they even look really well crafted too. Perhaps rare items like this R&C statue can be more than 1000 dollars.

But you're right about one thing though… collectibles are pretty expensive, no matter what.

Why would you want to spend that much? Just because you're a fan of R&C it doesn't mean you need to spend a thousand bucks on a statue, unless you're an insane fan (like me emoji ) or havbbe money to burn.

Ah yes, I've seen the Legend of Zelda figures - Which were sold to the public at a price of $200 on release. The key phrases there are 'Public' and 'On Release'. I know of the figures you're talking about from around 2006. Whoever owns them will be sitting on a small fortune, the larger figures will sell for around £600 British Pounds. (about £100 less than the R&C Maquette).

Its like my GF and her Starcraft figures - $7 in the shops when they were released to the public but now they go for almost $500 each! Or my Sam & Max limited Surfing the Highway hard-back comic book. I know the 1996 edition of Surfing the Highway goes for nearly £200, they were only £15 on release! The very first 1995 edition goes for even more!

Now lets look at the R&C Maquette;
Never released to the public, tiny tiny tiny number of them were made (in the grand scheme of things, 500 is not a lot at all), its a proper Maquette Statuette which cost thousands to make (The original sculptor on dA said around $2500 to make just one - I'll hunt for his user name and grab the strong of comments me and him had), gigantic and weighs a tonne! It sells for £700 British Pounds each time one of them pops up somewhere - for a figure like that, £700 is not bad. Still a kick in the teeth but not bad.

I just have a magical invention called a credit-card and a year to pay said credit card - then we have the savings account I've never touched since I was 14 (which now has enough money to buy 5 of those figures) and a high interest current account - Its called FINANCES people. Am I rich? Hell no! I'm a student who works in McDonalds! I just happen to be great with numbers emoji
In British Pounds it goes for around £700 each time, which is not bad for a statue like that. See the reply just above I left TipsyMcBee for the rest of the explanation :P
This reason why I say '1000+ is not bad' is because in US Dollars they always seem to go over a thousand because of the crappy exchange rate against the dollar. Right now its £1.5 to $1
