Bioshock Infinite "Burial at Sea" Elizabeth Figure

just preordered this. can't wait until june. just wanting to know what all you think of this?

it seems like a beautiful piece. the quality seems to by like that of the andrew ryan figure they did for the release of the original bioshock (which i am still desperately in search of. hint hint.) there are two different versions of this, a ken levine signed one (50) and non-signed (350) for a total of 400. A large number for this quality of statue but nonetheless it will be an amazing piece regardless of the number.

Wow, she looks beautiful. Seems like a purchase for me. I just hate how his signature is an extra 250 dollars. I'm not sure if il get that one. Either way, thanks for the heads up.

They lose a sale from me every time they put out a stupidly expensive signed version. I don't want to spend $250 for an inferior version of something, and I don't want to spend an extra $250 just for a signature. Also its such a blatant cash grab that exploits just their biggest fans. Like really, what kind of a dick sells their own signature? Let alone for hundreds of dollars.

Well mike, you have to understand that this is their only way to make money with the Bioshock franchise.

I agree with Mike, ever since they asked for that ridiculous sum for the Mind in Revolt books, I will never buy anything signed from them again.

$250 extra for a signature? That's crazy talk right there.

Kinda wish the facial expression and pose were more imposing, more snappy...pizzazz maybe?. Like that time she lit her cigarette. Her statue looks too impassive.

Ive put my order in for this.

Not gone for the signed edition, The cost for the postage to uk would just make this so much more. the extra cost would also add a lot more to the cost of the postage. So silly as in theory the item is the same.

If it was shipped from the UK i could have got the signed edition with what i would have saved in postage.

She would look great next to my windowsill. I might just have to buy one. Anyone thinking this might be the rare statue that the cohen statue was later on down the road?

i do give them props though because they will make money from suckers like me. but at the same time i get where they are coming from since they are closing their studio "technically" and laying off 90% of their workers. people will splurge on the statue itself just the same way people spend thousands of dollars on the cohen statue and murder of crows replica.

yeah but the mind in revolt that that had signed was one of 15 so those who got one are very very lucky. which i am still looking for.

probably not given the fact that cohen was one 110 and signed by both levine and waters. plus not to mention is was a ridiculously wonderful interpretation of cohens presence in the game. not saying this is not a good interpretation but rather more laid back interpretation. the cohen statue is one of those things not even the biggest bioshock fans will ever get to own or see in reality much less because of their sheer rarity and expense to purchase it. last one sold for over two grand i believe. i know mortal has one and i am so jealous of that its ridiculous.
