If you're a fan of The Last of Us, you'll probably love what Gaming Heads is offering. It's The Last of Us: Ellie & Joel (Deluxe Edition) statue. You better save up because this one is going to cost you $549.99.
It may be a bit pricey for some fans, but it's sure worth it. After all, the statue was not only inspired by the cover art for the game but also created using in-game files. It's composed of polystone resin and was skillfully hand-crafted and painted by artisans. It also comes with deluxe, full-color packaging along with a hand-numbered base and a validation card.
The statue has Ellie holding her bow by her side. Meanwhile, Joel has a baseball bat and interchangeable steel pipe in his right hand. This one also comes with the Ellie & Joel standard edition statue parts where Ellie has her rifle slung across her shoulder and Joel holding his personal weapon of choice, a revolver. It also has a bottle and brick placed in easy reach of both Ellie and Joel.
Other details of the statue are:
- Height: 32 cm (12")
- Length: 26 cm (10")
- Width: 29 cm (11")
- Weight: 3.2 kg (7 lbs)
