i will also ask for altair on the Bell
ask them much as you can about the figure!

at least the base looks like its made of PVC because the inside of it is hollow

oh btw. i just see that the badge from the AC statue looks very cool, if im not mistaken is that badge completely mirrored like that badge from the Batman Arkham Origins Batarang Presskit which is also from Pure Arts

There is no longer any piece of video game merchandise I would buy, no matter what the cost
I don't have a single piece of VG merchant in my collection or that I am looking for and do not have, that I would hold that highly as a prize

So guys, here's my two cents on this whole pure arts statue some supposedly didn't exist and ubisoft officially denied it, and now it's on sale somewhere, somehow.

I contacted pure arts directly, and their 'shanghai director' wrote me back personally. Now I must say this... My 'spidey-sense' bullshit me has hit an all time high with their reply. They have said some key words that are huge red flags to me and I'm running away as fast as I can.


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.

thats what im saying as a video game statue collector. like i said, it doesnt count for ME, but im sure it will count for real Assassins Creed fans...
Well I think the artist proof probably counts for (as you stated) real AC fans and real Statue collectors.

I completely understand how it doesn't count for you as a "holy grail" or "personal best" but just because we don't like something, it doesn't take away from how rare it is.

I also think by you saying it's "just unpainted" is similar to me saying my litho is only just un-signed.

As long as it's official, it counts!

-Just my 2 cents

So if Ubisoft denies it, how come Pure Arts are selling it? Are they making unofficial duplicates of it to sell and make profits? Hmm..
