Video game statue maker First 4 Figures, who have already produced several SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog premium collectable statues, have announced a new SEGA character and franchise that they will be adding to their ever expanding SEGA All-Stars collection; Yakuza‘s Kazuma Kiryu.
Teased on their Facebook page, First 4 Figures announced that pre-orders start March 8th, 2016 and featured a peek at Kazuma’s face. Thus far, fan reaction has been mixed. It is cool to see Yakuza joining the ranks of Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia, but they really didn’t nail Kazuma’s likeness. As is, he sort of looks like a cosplayer attempting a Kazuma Kiryu look. In the past, First 4 Figures have taken fan feedback very seriously and have altered character’s faces to better match the source.
We’ll share more details once pre-orders go live on March 8th!

Yeah, the whole face is off. However, when they teased Ryo Hazuki the face was off at first but, I was pleased with the finish product. I just worry because this seems more final and whomever runs their Facebook page seems happy with how it looks now. Somebody complained about how the head looked and the person that runs the F4F facebook got all snarky and posted a photo that disproved themselves.
This is nothing like the yakuza dude. It doesnt look like iy honestly
Don’t get why it’s so hard to simply render an accurate representation scaled down in size, can’t be that hard.
