Two years ago, First4Figures launched their Dark Souls resin line with their Artorias the Abysswalker statue. That statue went on to win multiple “2017 Statue of the Year” awards and spike in price on the aftermarket. And now? First4Figures is at it again, with Artorias leading the charge for another Dark Souls line! The F4F Dark Souls SD Artorias PVC Exclusive Edition Statue is now up for order! And this time, the box isn’t the only thing that’s exclusive…
When First4Figures launched their PVC statue line with the phenomenal Breath of the Wild Zelda Link Statue that I reviewed last spring, they began to reach a whole new audience of fans and collectors who had either never heard of F4F before or who couldn’t afford high-priced resin statues.
Things started to really heat up when Crash Bandicoot got a website exclusive edition PVC in late summer, and went on to be another mass market success. And now? F4F’s non-Nintendo flagship is taking center-stage in super-deformed form: F4F Dark Souls SD PVC Statues!
With the 1/4 Artorias resin statue being sold out and astronomically expensive on the aftermarket, starting the SD Dark Souls line with him makes complete sense—especially with Dark Souls Remastered hitting retail stores in May 2018, and this statue targeted to arrive during the release window for the game.
As with the Crash PVC, SD Artorias is getting an Exclusive Edition on the First4Figures official website. But unlike with Crash, the packaging won’t be the main that that’s special about about the SD Artorias EX: he’ll also feature an electronic LED base with two lighting settings!
LED light-up PVC statues are a rarity in the collecting world, but leave it to the Masters of LED Statues to pull it off and make it look magnificent!
Of course, LED function isn’t all that makes this version special. The gorgeous deluxe packaging is only available with the Exclusive Edition, as are the numbered base and authentication card. If you’re a Dark Souls fan, this is THE version to have.
And hey, good news: said Dark Souls fans should all be able to afford this Artorias SD Figure, as the exclusive version is priced at just $99.99 plus shipping, and you can even use payment plans of up to 12 months ($8.33) a month!
At that price, just about everyone who wants their own First 4 Figures Artorias Statue ought to be able to own one. Thanks, F4F!
The First4Figures Artorias SD Exclusive PVC is now up for pre-order, and is scheduled to be released in Q2 2018. Pre-orders for the Exclusive Edition are only open for two weeks, and with few cancellations likely because of the low price-point, I would be sure to order during these two weeks if you want this EX Arty for your collection.
Now that he’s been fully revealed and we know every last secret and detail, what are your thoughts on SD Artorias and the Dark Souls SD line as a whole, F4F fans? Are you getting your own Artorias PVC, and are you planning on collecting many statues from this low-priced series?
