Hi everyone!  I’m a long time gamer, cartoon, comics and anime fan, and I’ve started this blog (atm, at least) to spread the word about an incredible new bit of merchandise for the beloved Dreamcast/Gamecube JRPG classic, Skies of Arcadia.  

The long respected collectibles company First4Figures, which has produced officially licensed polystone and PVC statues for many distinguished franchises including Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Castlevania, Metroid, Cowboy Bebop, One Punch Man, Okami, Metal Gear Solid and others, has opened preorders for a brand new, beautiful polystone statue of everyone’s favorite pig-tailed cat-thief sky pirate, Aika from Skies of Arcadia!

It has taken literally years of constant community rallying in F4F’s Official Collector’s Club through the “#SAVEF4FAIKA” campaign to make this statue a reality.  There were times when it seemed certain that development was dead in the water and that her prototype would be locked away forever in the vault as nothing more than the curiosity of a bygone era...  But what once seemed impossible, has now become a reality!  First4Figures is unique in the collectibles market in its intimate connection with its Facebook collector’s community, and our contributions played a significant role in the statues development and ultimate release.  Here are pictures showing the development process over the years of fan rallying and the final culmination of it all:

I’m proud to have played a small part in this journey, and am doing what I can now to help spread the word and make it a success, not only so that more statues from Skies of Arcadia will be made but also in the hopes that Sega will take notice.  There is a large community of diehard fans still out there who want more of this beloved series, and there’s hope that good sales of this Aika statue could lead to a remaster, remake or even a sequel.

As Vyse once said, “’Impossible’ is just a word people use to make themselves feel better when they quit.”  I heartily encourage anyone and everyone who still loves and remembers Skies of Arcadia to join us in continuing to rally for this fantastic series and its future.  This statue of Aika is as great a place as any to start. 😸🏴‍☠️
