on the one hand I would be all over an awesome assassins creed statue, on the other hand, that isn't an awesome assassins creed statue, that's gotta be one of the least interesting 'action poses' I've ever seen.

Yeah, I'd be more interested if Ezio didn't look so derpy.
I will buy all the Bee Gee and Ee things they put out regardless of derpiness, though. A model of the hovercraft would be nice.

As long as they don't fill it with Rabbids crap it should be good (Although Raymans cool), I love some of Ubisofts franchises.

Woooow, I should have clicked the link. That Ezio statue actually costs $400!
I... I don't... How does something like that get so far out of the ideas meeting. How did nobody involved with that ever say "No. Wow, you should redesign that. Seriously, did you sculpt it in the dark? He looks ridiculous, literally nobody in the world will ever give us $400 in exchange for that! How do you still have a job here?"

My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately, before I went to check out the price on the store, I already had a ballpark figure of around $400 in mind... and don't forget shipping will probably be murderous too, since you'll need super special shipping.
I suppose the theory is that if you slap the words 'LIMITED EDITION' on anything, demand will immediately skyrocket and you can charge silly amounts of money.

The difference is Ciel, those are good. That Altiair one is... really bad.
I mean for $300 you can get this.
And for an extra 100 bucks you can get that Altair statue which just looks dodgy as hell? For that price and to appeal to the collectibles market you need to offer a good product.
There are 100 awesome poses from Assassins creed you could choose for Altiair, and they chose... that?

^ Blizzard make awesome sculptures. If I was going to pay hundreds of dollars for a sculpture, it'd be something like that. Or maybe a life-size zergling =)
