I wrote pure arts asking details about the statue and price. Basic stuff. Now keep in my also they do not have a website, just a 'coming soon' link. Without copying the email, I'll highly specifics of their reply:
"My job is to help make your dreams come true"
"Yes it's true! I received authorization to offer you this unique item!"
"Lucky guy! We will send you a payment request by paypal shortly after you send us these infos"
Everything typed above was verbatim from my email. PASS.

Hi everyone,
I am very glad to see so much enthusiasm about this PREMIUM statue. I am the representative of Purearts and I think it is important for us to clarify some questions that the fans might have.
Firstly, I can assure you that Purearts is an official company that works with the highest ethics. The Premium Connor piece is 100% authorized by Ubisoft and it is a 100% official product. We have been working many years with Ubisoft creating a large number of their collector editions.
We are committed to make the best products for the fans of the game as well as revolutionized the toy industry. Purearts is very secretive about its creations and this premium edition is our first real public release under the PUREARTS brand. I am sorry if my comments seemed a little bit "too much" but you have to understand that the response was so enthousiast that, as an employee and fan of Purearts myself, I got really excited about the response of the statue.
I also received a lot of inquiries about the number of units produced. So here
I hope the answers to your concerns. So far, only 250 statues were produced. As you can probably see from the pictures, this statue is all meticulously hand painted by our most talented artists making it almost impossible to go into mass production reruns. So I can assure you that the number of units will remain very limited. Our attention is now focused into new production of this kind. Due to the positive response, the Purearts team is working as making newer statues for the near future. So, as far as we know, today, there is no extra plan of further production for the Connor Premium statue.
There is also an equally rare version of this statue (bronze version) also produced in low number. We might make this one also available for the fans in the future.
We at Purearts thank you for your support.
The PUREARTS team
