Release Old statue emote

I think enough time has passed that these emotes should be released to the public. I doubt anyone really wants those not very good quality statues anyway and I doubt they would sell if they didn't come with those nice quality/cool looking emotes.

Would be nice for those who weren't able to afford the first run of emotes to get a chance at purchasing them again. The only issue I can really see is people who have dropped hundreds on the statue to get the emote getting a bit pissed thst we'd just be able to buy the emote separately. I think just a 2nd run of the statues (with emotes) in general would solve that problem though (starting with the oldest releases so the newer ones still have some exclusivity to them).

I think they dropped the hundreds of dollars on the statues specifically, not the emote. If they did, they're idiots.

I also agree with "re-issuing" the emotes for a cheaper cost is the ideal way to go about it, even if they priced them on par with the more expensive ones on the shop.

As someone who currently owns two of those statues. I couldn't care less if they tossed the emotes on the Mogstation. Like SilverObi said, I wanted the statues themselves. The emotes were a cool bonus.

Speaking of! I really wish they'd do a re-release of them. I wasn't playing when Odin's statue came out and I'd really like to buy it.

I don't think that having a disposable income and choosing to spend it on an emote makes someone an 'idiot'.

I bought all of the statues for the sake of the emotes and I don't regret it nor did I do it for the sake of exclusivity.

I don't have a problem with the emotes being made available to everybody. Just give me fair access to the regional promotional emote and mount that European players are missing out on still.

I think this would be a good idea as well. Maybe release them on the store as some sort of "premium emote" that costs way more than the regular ones, but I don't really see the issue with making them more available to everyone. The same goes for other items like minions that were bound to specifically limited physical items.

If you already have the emotes or minions then, well, that's already your bonus. You got a statue/book/etc. with the emote/minion/etc. and you've already had the access to them for years.

Honestly, the most I could see them doing is adding into the Online Store emotes, minions and other potential rewards they had attached to merchandise purchases that aren't available anymore... Things like books and soundtracks that are out of print, statues that only had limited quantities made and can't be bought anymore...

People were trying to dump the statues on ebay for like $30 after using the emote codes when they first came out lol.

As someone who bought a statue I have no problems with folks buying the emote all by itself.

But please, do a second run of statues, I missed Odin by a month and have been waiting for a rerun ever since.

Meh. I have them all. If they wanna put the emotes up that’s cool. If not that’s cool too.

As someone who owns the Ultima statue and emote, I'd rather they just rerelease the statues at anything resembling a consistent rate. Odin hasn't been seen since 2019, I missed Shiva by not knowing it was in stock (they outright delete the page, so you can't even check half the time), and who knows when Omega's coming back?

Most statues/figures for anime/manga series are created and released on a very limited schedule. They'll take pre-orders and usually cut those off sometimes even a year before the actual statue gets released, and then you'll only see a "reprint" of a statue if that specific character remains extremely, super popular. So, yeah, I don't think it would be out of possibility for the statues to be released again but it's far from uncommon for this sort of thing to basically be a one off.

hope they re-release the meister figurines with emotes again soon!
