What are First 4 Figures Zelda statues?
First 4 Figures began its Zelda line in 2006, and the first pieces set the pattern: a Fierce Deity Link in October of that year and an Adult Link that December, limited and numbered editions in the low thousands. The company makes high end resin and PVC figures, most in standard and exclusive versions, the exclusive adding light up parts or extras.
The line grew game by game alongside the series. Ocarina of Time brought Sheik, tunic variant Links and a twelve inch Dark Link; Majora's Mask brought Skull Kid and a full size replica of the mask itself; Twilight Princess brought Wolf Link and Midna, Link on Epona and a seventeen inch Zelda; The Wind Waker brought Link sailing on the King of Red Lions.
The Skyward Sword centrepiece shows the line's ambition: Link on Loftwing, twenty five inches tall, limited to 2,500 pieces. Breath of the Wild moved the line into PVC as well as resin, with Link, Zelda and Link on Horseback, and the four Champions following in the smaller format.
For a collector the documentation habit matters: edition sizes, version differences and release order are the facts of this line, and they are recorded here as documentation, the way the figures themselves are numbered on their bases.
