Sideshow Unveils Badass ‘Bloodborne’ Statue
Who doesn’t love gaming swag? Well, the always amazing Sideshow Collectibles have teamed up with Japanese manufacturer Prime 1 Studio to bring Bloodborne fans a little something special. If you’ve got the cash.
Priced at $799.99, and limited to 1250 units, Prime 1 and Sideshow present The Hunter from Bloodborne‘s expansion DLC, “The Old Hunters”. The statue depicts The Hunter standing over the corpse of a foe draped over a street pillar beneath a street lamp. Standing 32 inches tall, the statue boasts a ridiculous amount of quality detail, and features several interchangeable hands holding the three weapons from the start of the game.
The statue is expected to ship out next July, and given the limited run, if you’re hungry for it, you’d best get on it. To check out more images of the statue as well as pre-order the figure, head on over to Sideshow’s store page for the figure.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
