I know the animus effect doesn't look great in the photos but I'm sure in person this rendition of Altair will be great. PureArts just does an exceptional job with detail and features. Unrelated from AC statues, I just picked up the Legendary Knox BGE2 for deep discount at E3 sale made by Purearts and the detail is incredible so I can't imagine after all this Altair will be bad. Also I have larger scale resin/poly figures of Edward from McFarlane, Ezio from Attakus and the PureArts statues I mentioned that all have corresponding smaller scale vinyl figures in my collection so adding Altair in this scale would be great and compliment my smaller vinyl First4Figures standing and crouched Altair from long ago.

Given that UBI is not releasing a new Assassins Creed game this year, having an Altair available from Purearts direct will be a nice bridge to whatever legendary edition UBI comes out with next year (hopefully again partnering with PureArts.

In case you guys didn't know, you can get 10% off from PureArts with code CONTEST2019

I'll be at montreal comic-con next week, Prime 1 and Pure Arts will be there. Hopefully they'll have the Altair statue and GOW, Bloodborne and SotC statues on display. It will be easier to decide if I buy these.
I'll probably get altair, with the discount, 600 USD shipped isn't this bad.

Cool, take pictures and post please if you see it! Pure Arts will be at Pax West near me but not until end of August.

Cheers. JC

$350 is a great price for that Alexios statue. It's massive and very impressive looking. Doesn't match with other AC statues, but it looks great on display standalone.

Thanks a lot guys for the heads up on Alexios statue. I grabbed it for $279 after redeeming 100 Uplay units for 20% discount (didn't think that would work lol) with free shipping. I guess it is a pretty good deal indeed!

Congrats on the buy bro. Just be careful when you open the box. It's MASSIVE. The edges of Alexios' cape are really fragile and can chip away if not removed properly.

Thanks to you guys. I'll make sure to be safe, thanks for the heads-up.

It's like investing I guess.... with Pure Arts Legendary Bayek… I was barely able to get it two weeks after preorder announced in June 2017 as it sold out instantly with only couple hundred units (remember Bayek although shipped separate came as package buy with legendary origins edition) yet even though Bayek edition was same price as legendary Alexios at $750 + Odyssey Gold ED with pass … a year goes by and the legendary Alexios statue still has units on UBI shop which can be bought for less than half price! How do you anticipate this? I figured it would be same as Bayek and it would have sold out. Is it because Alexios looks do not sync up with the normal hooded clearly assassin style shown in all the other assassins released before him? Or was it a supply thing where they made too many of the legendary statues>? Who knows... on one hand it sucks I paid double last fall... on the other hand I ccertainly have gotten double worth of enjoyment out of it and it warms my heart to see collectors here with opportunity to buy it at half price vs. dealing with the eBay "pirates" (no offense Edward) listing these for thousands of dollars.

I got the same $279 deal on the beyond good and evil Knox which I never would have dropped $750 on but it's cool enough at $279 (this one also being listed by our friendly eBay Pirates at north of $1,000).

Cheers JC

Exactly! I most certainly would have not spent $750 on this but I didn't have a second thought for this price. I was almost thinking that they would cancel the order, but it finally shipped yesterday. But, I'm a fan of Kassandra more than Alexios and would love to buy her statue if it was available in same quality.

Its a great deal, even in Europe that is slightly more expensive at little above 300€ (before the 20% discount with 100 points), the only reason i dont buy it is because i didnt enjoyed the game.
In all honesty this might have been the game that made my love for AC decrease substantialy.

IIRC, the Alexios batch was limited to less than 2000 units globally, so I doubt it was an overproduction thing. For me it just doesnt seem to match anything else that I would have from the AC series, which I think others may have had the same thoughts.
