What would you pay for your own statue of a God-king celebrated across the land? Probably not nearly as much as you would pay to BE a God-king celebrated across the land, but Gaming Heads just doesn't have that kind of daedric power. Still, if you want a mini Shrine of Talos for your collection, this is the place to go.
After one line of statues based on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Gaming Heads is setting up a new line; the Shrine series, and Talos is the first one up.
As a press release details: "The Elder Scrolls series, set across the fictional world of Tamriel, is famed for it's intricate and deep lore, with Talos taking centre stage as one of the Nine Divines. Players can search the world of Skyrim to receive special rewards for finding the Shrines of Talos, and it is on those shines that we have based this statue. We've worked using the in-game assets that contain even the finest details, so this piece will make fans feel like they actually own a piece of Tamriel legend. There will be two editions made available; the regular edition, with an aged stone appearance and the exclusive edition with a bronze-effect finish to truly reflect his divine status."
Unlike the shrines scattered across Tamriel, Gaming Heads' version won't measure as high as the monolithic king himself, nor will it cure you of all diseases, or let you shout more frequently as though it was a warm cup of lemon tea. It is however "sculpted from high-quality polystone stone with hand-finished sculpting detailing, and will be entirely hand painted," for that old fashioned quality proving that every so often, they do make it just like they used to. The only problem is that each statue is also exceedingly rare.
"Both editions of the Shrine of Talos statue are highly limited, and will be released in the second quarter of next year. The regular edition will be produced up to 750 units and can be pre-ordered here, while the exclusive edition will only be produced up to 350 and can be pre-ordered here."
The "rarity" lets Gaming Heads ask $200 for each statue, which is a bit pricey for a 14" high statue that may or may not be a rather excessively priced conversation piece, but hey, let Dovahkiins be Dovahkiins.
