yes, packaging is king...
it looks like the statue has a few different "poses" based on the tools you place in his hands.
honestly though I probably wouldn't have ordered it even if it was available as an "edition" in the states. as it is some of my best CEs are stowed away where no one can see them simply because I have no good shelving to put them on
as for the Prestige edition... most stores I've been to have stopped taking pre-orders on it... very few games I know of have run out of pre-orders this early before they go on sale.
