Assassins Creed Statue/Figures - Page 209

The box was massive! Took me forever to open it.

Here's how I set it up for now. After some thinking, I decided to keep the Odyssey statues away from the rest of the AC statues because they weren't matching (well, Kassandra was but I didn't want to separate her). Maybe I'll feel differently after I play the game.

Bayek is obviously pitched forward more and so looks shorter vs. Alexios who is standing more upright.

When you look at where Mr. Sparta's lower left foot is situated on the Medusa head compared to Bayek's launching foot on the column are in about the same height and their torsos/heads are almost identical size so I'd say exact same scale.

Cheers JC

Looks good JCage. I still need to get my hands on the premium Bayek. Prices on Ebay are crazy, especially with the shipping costs.

I really wish I hadn't missed out on getting it last year. Didn't expect it to be sold out so fast.

For me it was bad timing... out in the mountains when it was released and already sold out when I got back. I was lucky enough to catch it by continually checking the UBI site every day and a single unit for PS4 went back in stock two weeks after it had sold out. I haven't been as lucky on other ones though and had to be more creative so I agree it sucks to be left facing the eBay sellers listing these at double the retail price for a used one or just the statue.

All I can recommend is persistence... just keep checking and eventually one will pop up. Make sure to check the international listing even if they don't ship to your country... That's how I got my Ezio's fury - from a Turkish seller on eBay who agreed to sell at reasonable price even though listing didn't ship to USA. I got my Attakus Ezio artist proof #2/20 by directly contacting the press rep of the company who spoke to the company president on my behalf and ended up getting the last unit from her own reserve long after it sold out. For the Connor Premium from PureARTS, many people here were contacting PureARTS directly to buy them but they would not sell to me because their contract with UBI prohibited them from selling to USA buyers (for whatever arbitrary reason). So I had my family in Germany help me source it and luckily won the import/export lottery (avoided getting hefty duty imposed). In this case, both legendary Bayek and Alexios are PureARTS… just a thought but it couldn't hurt to contact Purearts and just ask if they somehow have the ability to get you a residual Legendary Bayek figure even it is un-numbered. Anyway, lots of stories about how I got these things make them even cooler to own once you do have them so best luck.

It is cool that you got the Kassandra figure before it sold out! I like your setup between both smaller Odyssey figures. I didn't buy them because I bought the PS4 Pantheon version of the game which also has a smaller Alexios and am getting a Kassandra from the Gamestop exclusive bought for Nephew who just wants the game and doesn't care about the statue.

Cheers - JC

The Ubicollectibles look so small beside him....if I ever get this I won't display them beside him he's stealing all the attention!

Well turns out I have used my 20% off discount on the ubi store last year and I can't get a second code with my account. Had to play 2-3 hours the Division to get some uplay points on my second account....and get a second code. Looking at it, 850 CAD is defenitely worth it, it's huge

Oh and, I received the Alexios and Kassandra Ubicollectibles. Not as epic as the 1/4 scale statue but hey, some of you might still care.
Really good job on these from Pure arts, the details are on point. If you can get them I recommend them.

Wow, that is some crazy stuff. Thank you so much for recommending to turn on international listings. I have been stalking Ebay now for a loooong time to find the PureArts Connor statue. Earlier today, I found the Attakus Ezio Dev!! It was an opportunity of a lifetime, so I caved and kind of ordered it...

I still need to buy the Legendary Bayek and Alexios statues. Once I find PureArts Connor too I will be satisfied. Only one I will be missing at that point will be Crouching Altair. I don't know if I can stomach the $1400 for that one...

Congrats man! That Ezio Attakus is a great looking piece. I have the regular edition (same statue but different base). Just wish his face didn't look so baby like though lol.

For PureArts connor, I think PureArts was still selling them on their website for $700. But they don't ship to NA, so you might have to get someone to forward it to you.

Nice Work! Glad it worked out for you and Enjoy your very rare find!
