Sony Santa Monica Studio, the developer of 2018’sGod of War, is partnering with one of the most well-regarded premium hobbyist statue creators Prime 1 Studio. Prime 1 Studio will be offering twoGod of Warstatues built to the standards of its Ultimate Premium Masterline. The first statue will be ofGod of Warvillain Baldur, paired with several Brood enemies. The second statue will be of Kratos and his son Atreus. Befitting the quality of the statues, the two will fit together to create a battle between the foes.
TheGod of War"Baldur & Broods" statue will be the first priority for Prime 1 Studio while the “Kratos & Atreus Statue” will be detailed at a later time. To clarify straight away, these are premium Polystone statues and are priced accordingly. The Baldur statue will cost $1,199 total and pre-orders will require a $119.90 down payment to secure a reservation. The statues are not limited; however, only the first 500 will be given an exclusiveGod of Warlogo stand.
As for the Baldur statue itself, it’s 24.5" tall at 1/4 scale. Baldur himself is depicted in extremely high detail with each of his runic tattoos painted clearly on his upper body. The base of the statue is designed to look like the snowy shards of shattered ruins and tangled roots, with three green Brood warriors reaching out from below. One of the warriors appears to be the target ofAtreus' bow, with arrows awkwardly sticking out from their helm.
The premium nature of the BaldurGod of Warstatue means that it won’t be available for some time. A demo version of the statue has been made and a video recording provided for potential buyers to view. The final version’s release is being targeted between July and November 2020, but delays are possible. Prime 1 Studio is known for its standards of quality and it will take as much time as necessary to meet them.
This isn’t the first time that Sony has partnered with Prime 1 Studio to create premium statues for its PlayStation-exclusive games. Previous statues have been made for games includingShadow of the ColossusandBloodborne, and Prime 1 has the license to create aHorizon Zero Dawnstatue as well.
