Abe from Oddworld finally getting a statue

Just wanted to get this out there, for anyone who didn't know about it yet. I've been waiting for an Abe statue for many years. A few times the unofficial statue was listed on Ebay, but the price often was quite exorbitant and the figure didn't even look that good with the stock paint job.

So the current statue is available for preorder and comes bundled with the collectors edition of Oddworld Soulstorm. The game gets mixed reviews, but I don't care; I need that statue.

I've been collecting statues for all my favorite retro games and an Oddworld statue (Abe's oddysee / Abe's exoddus) has been the only one missing..can't wait for july!

Awesome, I’ve always found it criminal nobody made statues or figures from the amazing oddworld designs. Really needs a full line, but this is a nice start. Does stink it’s not for Xbox though.

I ordered the ps5 edition..don't even own a ps5 :') Although I do think I will buy one eventually, a few years down the road.

Let's hope the figure turns out as good as on the picture...it costs enough to make it possible (€150 for the collector's edition).

Definitely going to get this one even though CE figures are crap most of the times. Still love my 'unofficial' one

Yes I would like to have that one too, but these days it's just too expensive. I do like how it more resembles ps1 Abe.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

CE "statues" are generally painted abs, I would not hold out high hopes :|

I'm super hyped for anything Oddworld related, but this is unfortunately very true.

I was hoping that someone like F4F would have picked up the license with the release of Soulstorm.
