What are the 10 best Assassin's Creed collectible items?

[MortalMonday]

Curios to know what everyone's top 10 AC items (more than 10 is fine too, I guess) are; #1 being the absolute very best of the best.

You don't have to own them necessarily. You just have to give your opinion on what the greatest pieces are. Whether it be rarity, beauty, or some other attribute; give your list of the top 10 AC items in existence!

I'll form my own list later, or maybe we can all work together to come to a mutually agreed upon/consensus list; The CE.org master list of the greatest AC items in existence.

[Platfus]

I would definitely count: AC:R devs bust
AC2 Hand Replica
AC2 Venetian mask
AC2 Gamestop employee kit

And some more, which I will list later

[LeX]

There are way too many Collectibles for AC, especially the rare. There are lots of rare Items that I don't have. but in my opinion I can consider it as the best already.

Here's my top Best AC collectibles. some of them I don't have it. but hopefully one day I can find one.

1) ACII Ezio Hidden Blade replica

I know we can consider this piece of collectible one of the most rare replica. Hidden blade of Ezio, very few exist, a prize for a contest I believe, and the hand is very fragile to ship, and it makes me want to more to obtain. I will congratulate already who have this collectibles. very amazing for displayhttp://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x418/Photos_lex/AC2HiddenBLade.jpg (http://s1180.photobucket.com/user/Photos_lex/media/AC2HiddenBLade.jpg.html)


2) AC2 italian Press Kit
Press kits are rare and hard to find one. but I guess this is far, the hardest to find. and not like other press kits, which is just a 10+ pages book and DVD, this one has different contents. beautiful press kit for AC. I want to have one.

3) Revelations by Craig Mullins

One of the most beautiful and rare lithographs I saw and luckily obtained one. I like the character of Ezio from Revelations and the way the artist represent him on this picture is amazingly epic.

4) Tomahawk Statue
Probably one of the rarest piece for Assassin's Creed III, I own one of these and it is very amazing, real wood for handle, real feather, but the blade is made of latex (not sure if this is the word for the material used). and the box add more for it exclusivity. Iconic weapon of Connor, and this replica is rare so I might one to add one of the best collectibles

5) Crouching Altair

Everyone agree that this is far the rarest statue, our legendary Altair with his epic pose. I badly want this statue. but very rare now. I guess every collector knows the rarity of this statue, everytime I see this statue from a collector, I always think, he might be either a die hard collector of AC or a collector of AC since the first year released (2007)

6) Unpainted Statues

I know some of you will not agree with me, I like collecting statue but I find unpainted statue a beautiful piece, very unique and rare. first time I see unpainted is AC2 Ezio from white/black edition and I keen for one. so when they announced this unpainted edward, I need to get this and I bought one.
I know unpainted statues are like incomplete products, but the way I see it. they are rare and very unique for display

7) Duomo di Firenze
One of favorite Lithograph next to Revelations by Craig Mullin, I'm pretty sure the existence of this lithograph is a bit rare now a days, The way it represent the landmark what got me hook to this piece. its very beautiful

8) Edward Kenway Pistols,
This may not be the rarest pistol exist for AC4 Black flag, but for me this a one of the BEST collectible to display, two different size pistol and a display rack. and they are both made of real wood and metals.

9) Codex book (Promotional)
For me, Altair Codex is if not best, a nice collectibles. and the first time I seen this Promotional Codex Book, I simply wow.

10) Desmond Outfit
Guys, don't forget that Desmond was one of the main character for AC. and since ubiworkshop produce and replica of this outfit. I want to consider it one of the best Collectible.

That being said, there are LOTS of collectibles out there. I might not know few of it.
Now, I want to know what's others opinion and let's agree upon it

[Platfus]

Great list Lex, if I weren't on phone and had more time my list would look pretty much the same.

Great collection!

[v1sav1s]

Great lists! I forgot there were pistol replicas... And 21 only?! Phew... Hats off to whoever finds a set! :notworthy:

For me, in no particular order (missing two things for now):
ACR Ezio bust
AC4 Edward bust
ACR Portal statue
Most of the lithos and canvases. If I could only choose one it would be ACR Ezio.
AC3 Tomahawk
AC3 flag kit
McFarlane Edward statue
Sketches from Cameron Stewart, Nadine Thomas and Karl Kerschl (or comissions from any concept artist)



Honorary mention:
Civil War Assassin painting at Ubiworkshop... True, each arludik canvas prints are one-offs. But the one at the shop is a bonafide painting!

[LeX]

Hi V1s, Yeah those dev bust are great, and you own one yourself for Ezio bust.
never seen actual Edward bust but I know about its existence.

ACR portal statue? I think I never heard of it. share some info please :)

[MortalMonday]

I've seen that AC Revelations portal statue too. Good to know that other members have seen it.

[LeX]

WHat does portal statue means? is it official statue?

[MortalMonday]

Well, the statue is a small replica of the stone gate that Desmond crosses through at the beginning of the game, in order to access his ancestors memories. Yes, I do believe that it is official. It's extremely rare though as only a handful were ever made, and they were not available to the public.

It looks like this gate here:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/mishimakazama/imagejpg1-3.jpg

Now, it's been a looooooong time since I've seen a picture of the actual statue, so I can't be sure that this is exactly what it looks like as my memory on how exactly it looks, is a little fuzzy; but that's the gist of it anyway.

[LeX]

I have never seen or aware of it. looks amazing. any chance you can link a photo?
How big is it anyway?

[MortalMonday]

Not surprising that you didn't know about it; most people don't know about it. This is an extremely rare piece after all. I don't remember exactly how big it is, sorry. If I had to guess though, I'd say that it's no more than one foot high, but it might be smaller than that even. So sorry, no pics available; it's that damn rare! I did have a picture of it at one point, but it was lost long ago. I kick myself constantly for losing the picture. Maybe our good friend here has a pic?

[LeX]

Okay that's a sure rare statue as I never ever heard of it until now.
I hope someone can share even a picture of it ir any info.

[v1sav1s]

I've got pics of the portal statue in my thread.

Just wanted to add that I like Lex's list cause he explained why he chose his top10. Truly endearing.

Edit:
abstergoartefact.blogspot.ca
pics of Edward bust. Limited to 475ish. Yep the artefact is spelled correctly.

[LeX]

Is it the the pic you linked on flcker? together with the skull candle?
ahmm may I ask what's written on the placard?


Anyway, thanks. but I don't have most of the item on my list and I don't think I can find one.
just focusing on statue and now I want to know how you find these statues I'm missing :) I like how you find rare stuff.

[Deathhound]

I agree with Lex, you find some great and rare stuff, v1sav1s!

Didn't know about the Portal statue, too. Now I was waiting for pics and there it is :D

[v1sav1s]

Sorry for the delay. Here's a close-up of the placard:
http://collectorsedition.org/forums/showpost.php?p=220467&postcount=94

Blurred out two lines, one is the internal project name and the name of the developer.

[LeX]

I see. Thanks for sharing.

[Deathhound]

Amazing Marius. Love the way you displayed the Decleration Of Independence. Some neat rare things you own

[Gemini-Phoenix]

On the one hand I appreciate the fandom which surrounds the Assassin's Creed franchise, and also how many collector's editions and awesome merch there is surrounding the franchice which makes it so collectible, but on the other hand I disagree with the way Ubisoft have handled the promotion of the AC franchise, and also prey on fans and collectors alike

Releasing half a dozen different editions for each game release is one thing, but it's pretty c**tish to collectors to not tier the releases, meaning collectors have to buy every edition in order to collect all the goodies available. It's for this reason alone I have been boycotting Ubisoft releases, but specifically the AC franchise for several years now. Add to that the various compilation re-releases, and that this year (2014) sees not one, but TWO separate AC games spread across two different console generations, and you begin to understand that Ubisoft are simply out to get your money and don't care about the people who collect this kind of stuff - some may say it's fan service, but I consider it to be taking advantage of collectors!

That said, there are some very nice collector's editions available, and with each release these editions get more and more elaborate and raises the bar for quality editions

[The rare list 101]

I don't really have a list of rare items...but my number 1 would be my Attakus ezio auditore deluxe edition ARTIST's PROOF statue. Number 12 of 20 (not 200). =D
