I hope it's true that this time they're actually making a high quality statue though. Hopefully it's not PVC plastic.

The Big Daddy figure from the Bioshock CE is a good example of a nice quality piece.
They say it's a "200 dollar" statue here:

Either search for 200 or scroll down to the comments

And for people too lazy here's the original quote by Mick Perona

Hey Jose, We?re packing an unbelievable amount of value into these editions. ?THE ART OF THE LAST OF US? Art Book alone will retail separately for $39.99 so it?s literally impossible to ?squeeze? it into the Post-Pandemic Edition where we are already including a $200 12″ statue of Joel and Ellie in for only $159.
Mick Perona is the Associate Product Marketing Manager for First Party Games

While I quite like how accessible he appears to be I don't necessarily believe it's a $200 statue myself

Still hoping its good quality though and it might be considering production numbers

Also for anyone who cares, I contacted Triforce and asked if TLOU statue would be available separately for purchase but they confirmed that it's only available in the pandemic edition

Although I think Naughtydog let slip that they might be giving some away in competitions outside the US to try and make fans happy (or less angry perhaps)
