Edit: Apparently unless you're in NA, then it doesn't seem to load up or be available? Also, what gives with his feet being planted on the building like that... it's kinda weird??

Sadly I cannot view the store, damn Ubi.

It is like that because Ezio cannot float with no support or anchor. The only other option would be to add a clear plastic piece in between.

I am from UK. The UBIshop official page for this item says in description that this is a 2-piece diorama. So if you remember Ezio's Fury statue and McFarlane Edward premium statue, how Ezio jumps from Roman pillars, and how you insert Edward's feet in sea sand, it is the same working mechanism here...Ezio's shoes are inserted into the Church wall...Hope this helps

I wouldn't be surprised if its not. I checked earlier out of curiosity and it doesn't show on the site.

Yeah - in the same fashion as all the previous statues, the US ubishop doesn't let us purchase it. If I recall, Canada was able to view things like this at one point weren't they?

Also, @Flatty - I understand the physics of WHY its like that, but it just looks goofy (and also impossible).

This is the email I got from Ubisoft:

The statue that you are referring to is only available through the European Uplay Shop Online Store. It is not possible at this time to order that product through the US Uplay Shop. The product may be available at some time in the future to US customers. The US release information is usually posted in the Ubisoft Forums first when it is made available.

Anyone interested in a group buy???

I doubt this would wind its way into the U.S. shop.

HOWEVER, I recall asking UbiWorkShop early last year if they would carry any UbiCollectibles items and they ended the year by putting for sale the Ezio bust. I got the bust from somewhere else prior to the listing, but that may be a signal that more collectibles from outside the U.S. might make their way available for a number of us.

It looks quite natural to me and I only started analysing the pose after reading your post.

If you imagine Ezio standing at the very edge of the ledge with the majority of his feet off the edge and just the rear portion of his feet making contact. And then him just falling forward and pushing off a little. This freeze-frame would be the moment where he's just finished the push off but hasn't yet started moving away from the wall.

Sure it's not all that game accurate, but It looks about as realistic as you'd expect from the extremely unrealistic leap of faith as a £36 statue and something I'll definitely be adding to my collection.
