If you’re the type of person who loves collecting toys like statues and figurines, you might be interested to learn that Blizzard has recently taken the wraps off a 12-inch figurine of Reaper from their Overwatch franchise, and we have to say that from what we can tell, the details are pretty amazing.
It is actually crafted by Blizzard senior sculptor Brian Fay and offers up pretty good details when it comes to the character, like the various chips in his mask, the guns, and his armor. Unfortunately it is not cheap as it is priced at $150, but then again there have been other collectibles based on video games that have been priced much, much higher, so $150 isn’t too bad especially when you consider it is an official design.
If this sounds like a statue/figurine you wouldn’t mind getting, know that you’ll probably have to wait quite a bit. The first batch of figurines will only begin shipping out come March 2017, and the next batch will only arrive in November 2017, so if you miss out on the first round of orders, you’ll basically have to wait an entire year just to get your hands on it.
Reaper is not the first Overwatch statue that was released as Tracer was the first. We expect that just like Tracer, the Reaper statue will quickly sell out so gamers and collectors will want to move quickly if you don’t want to miss out on this.
