It’s a tough time for physical video game collectors, with the digital format gaining ground and collector’s editions fetching exorbitant prices for their content. Merchandising suffers the same fate, especially when it comes to beloved franchises. And this news is about the last group.
PlayStation has ordered Gaming Heads, a regular contributor of ten years, to immediately cease all activities with all Sony and PSN products. The exact reason is not given, but this order involves the destruction of all figures already produced and the production of new ones, whether planned or not, to stop.
The figures of this company are not the most common in our territories, but there is definitely a particularly cute couple from The Last of Us (Ellie and Joel) and an incredible bust of Kratos (God of War). If you have some of these pieces, know that you now have a treasure in your home.
Yes, this is SONY PlayStation’s decision, not ours. Yes, we want to send you your Jack 3, TLOU 2 Ellie, TLOU Ellie & Joel, Sly Cooper and Kratos figures/busts, but SONY PlayStation won’t allow it. Yes, SONY PlayStation has already received payment for your orders and now they want us to destroy them and not ship them to you.
The matter is much more complicated. He Gaming Heads statement mentions the difficult problem of pre-orders and reservations, as many works are sold to order. As the PlayStation order is effective immediately, many pre-orders will not be delivered and refunds are not guaranteed. The company encourages you to claim money from Sony. The dispute is filed.
