10 Years of Rage, Redemption, and Revenge – Kratos Still Reigns Supreme.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 10 years since Kratos first tore through ancient Greece in a blood-soaked quest for vengeance—and gaming was never the same again. From the brutal blades of chaos to the quieter, more reflective journey through Norse mythology, God of War has evolved into one of gaming’s most iconic and emotionally charged franchises.
The God of War franchise has treated its fans to a wide range of collectables over the years. The series actually celebrated its 10th anniversary back on March 22nd, but I never got around to writing about it at the time.
I currently own four God of War figurines/collectables. While Ascension may have been the most underwhelming game in the series, its collector’s item still outshines most other pieces in my collection.
Until now, the standout collectable has always been the God of War Trilogy box set featuring Pandora’s Box—an impressive and iconic package.
That said, this new item? It blows that set—and nearly every other God of War collectable, completely out of the water.
Yes, this is the brand-new God of War figurine—and it’s an absolute masterpiece. The craftsmanship is stunning, with an insane level of detail throughout. Standing at a towering 29 inches, it’s a true collector’s centrepiece, and only 1,250 units will ever be produced.
The statue features Kratos seated on Ares’ throne, a powerful callback to the iconic ending of the very first game in the series.
Honestly, I thought this was fake at first; it just looked too good to be true. The price is steep, and the artist behind it, Y. Sharma, is known for premium-quality work. But with this level of detail, who’s complaining? The statue is crafted from the same high-end composite material used for the incredible Darksiders 2 mask, one of the standout pieces in my entire collection, and that’s saying something.
This Kratos statue is so massive that I’m genuinely wondering if the postal service will even deliver it without charging me hundreds of pounds in shipping fees.
So, when’s it out? Pre-orders are open now, and they’re asking for a $150 USD deposit. The rest—$330 USD plus shipping- will be due once production is complete, which is expected around November 2015.
Do I want one? OF COURSE! Will I get one? Absolutely! How? No clue yet—but the deposit’s paid, so stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release.
Whoa, 74 cm… Looks really cool on the pictures. I just read a article saying there will be an even more exclusive statue limited to 500 where he wears the Ares armour sitting on the throne.
