That looks amazing- I wish they would do a line like this in a smaller plastic scale like kotobukiya. something affordable and collectible. There are some amazing HM covers out there I would love to see reproduced... just not at $780 a pop.

We are specialized in high quality resin art statues, and unfortunately, there is no other way to create statues of this scale, level of quality, craftsmanship and limited edition size while making it a viable business model, at any other price point. And even making something at a lower price point and smaller scale in resin, would require large edition sizes and that, too, is not possible for art-focused pieces at this point in time. Maybe one day, hopefully. But know that we are trying to find ways to service all budgets alike. Until then, we have fair and flexible payment plans available on our shop. Tooling for good quality PVC pieces is a lot more expensive than for resin, so practically impossible for the same reasons listed above. We don't have the luxury of multi-million fans fanbase to pull from, like the large mainstream licenses do. Sorry about the technical answer ;-) Be well and reach out any time. We are on IG, FB & Twitter @houseofgog. Last edited by House of Gog; 07-31-2019 at 12:19 PM.. |

We have more great art statues coming this year from Pascal's amazing art... Rest assured, we will find a way to offer lower price point, high quality items, in a near future, maybe in the form of cool artifacts or something in the genre. As we are growing as a brand, and as does our fanbase, we will be in a better position to make products for everyone. We sincerely appreciate your support regardless. We are collectors too! |

I've been a fan of Pascal's for years, own the derelict planet book as well as an earlier book where he was showcased with some other digital artists. The sculpture is pretty amazing...it looks indistinguishable from the artwork. Does he send you the 3D files to print or are you guys sculpting these yourselves from the artwork?
Also, are you going to be working on more of his stuff? A lot of his works would make great sculptures IMO.....my personal favorite is the bald, perched, kind of NSFW red and blue female with all this tech and tubing behind her, giving off kind of a circular composition. |

We are also huge fans of Pascal's work, and have been for a while too! In regards to your questions, we have a full line of Pascal Blanché statues in the pipeline with more releases coming this year. Our brand works with a small roster of recurring artists, so even after wave 1, we will collaborate with Pascal in the future as well. It's a long term relationship with both our artists and our fans! In regards to the sculpt, Pascal already works in 3D (zBrush), so we had a solid base to start from, but we did re-sculpt pretty much everything. We have some of the best sculptors in the industry. Pascal was involved directly at every steps and had final approval on everything. I hope this answered your questions. Last edited by House of Gog; 08-01-2019 at 11:08 AM.. |

We understand that such an art piece is not for all budgets, but we tried to help out by providing flexible payment plans with no surcharge, so it's the price of the statue (+shipping) split up to 8 separate payements. It's not perfect, but it's our contribution to the war effort! You are still more than welcomed to stick around for the journey tho. Be well and again, thank you for reaching out. |

Toy Arkers!
A couple weeks ago, we met our artist Pascal Blanché here in Montreal to have him sign the pedestal plates (branded “PP plates” which are glued under each statue) for our Moonstone premium art statue as well as our Moonstone 18 x 24” art prints. It was a grind but above all, a lot of fun! We managed to take a few photos for you guys. We would like to thank Pascal for his ongoing generosity, contribution and commitment to House of Gog, and we hope to continue this relationship for many years to come. He is leading the way with candor for the other great artists about to join the House of Gog family. We are looking forward to greet them with the same respect and excitement. Quick update for Moonstone: The PP plates have been sent to our workshop and are currently being assembled. Our collector art box production has started and should be completed in a couple weeks. (BTW, the art box looks fantastic!) We cannot commit to a ship date yet, but we are very close to it! We will keep you posted in the next few weeks. --- Remember to subscribe to our mailing list via our shop & you can also follow our journey on social media (@houseofgog on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter) ♡〜٩(^▿^)۶〜♡ |

Hey guys,
We are back from Toronto! A big thank you and virtual hug to all those of you who came to hang out and chat with us at the booth during Fan Expo Canada.

We met many great and passionate people, had great conversations about the passion that unite us and we hope to stay connected with you via our social media and our newsletter. All love and see you next time! (Photos are unedited and taken with iPhone 8 Plus.

Fellow collectors,
We are happy to reveal the art box for Moonstone! Each of our high quality “soft touch” art boxes are handmade with love and assembled with care by our in-house production team. In addition to the “soft touch” coating of our art box (similar to iPhone packaging), “spot varnish” was used on some elements of the art box, like the Moonstone outline, details in her base (black on black), logos, etc. Our photos do not show those elements clearly, but they really make everything pop even more. This elegant & sleek art box will compliment your House of Gog art statue in every way. Special thanks to local creative legend, EB7, for his great art box design. Hell yeah! --- UPDATE: we are finalizing packaging the production and will start shipping to reviewers, influencers and preorders shortly. An email communication will be sent out soon. Almost there people! FYI - Moonstone is still available for preorder exclusively on our shop. Get yours now and have it in hand without having to wait for ocean transit (estimated: 30-45 days). Flexible payment plans available. Worldwide shipping. If you haven’t done so already, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter via our website; It’s the best way to stay connected. All love.
