Game collector's editions with a statue: what to check before you buy

For many people a game's collector's edition is the simplest way to get a statue from a favourite series: one box holds the game, a figure and a few extras. The catch is that edition names can be misleading, the contents depend on the platform, and there may be no statue in the box at all. We have gathered what is worth checking before you buy, using editions we track in October 2026. Of the 80 collector's editions in our catalogue, only 7 are on sale today, so in this category speed matters too.

What a collector's edition is, and what it is not

A classic collector's edition (CE for short) is a big box with the game and physical extras. Most often you will find:

• a statue or a replica of an in-game item,
• an artbook or a world compendium,
• a steelbook, a metal case for the disc,
• a map, cards, patches or pins,
• codes for digital extras such as the soundtrack.

Deluxe, Premium, Ultimate or Gold editions are something else: very often they are digital add-ons only. The Ghost of Yotei Digital Deluxe Edition is sold only on the PlayStation Store and gives you in-game items, nothing to put on a shelf. The Blood of Dawnwalker Eclipse Edition is a digital upgrade with a compendium, a comic and the soundtrack. If you are after a statue, look for "Collector's" in the name and go straight to the contents list.

Checklist before you buy

Is the game in the box, and in what form

This is the most common surprise. In Sony's collector's editions the game can be just a code for your PSN account: that is the case with the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Collector's Edition and the Ghost of Yotei Collector's Edition, and you need an account and an internet connection to redeem it. Bandai Namco, on the other hand, lists a game disc in the console editions of Dawnwalker and Nightreign, while the PC versions come with a download code in the box. If you play on a console without a disc drive, a code is more convenient. If you ever want to sell the set, the disc is part of it, and a redeemed code is not.

Platform and region

The same edition comes in separate versions for PS5, Xbox and PC, sometimes with different contents. Check the platform marking in the offer title (on the Bandai Namco store the Xbox version is marked XSX-X1, for example). When buying codes abroad, make sure they will work on an account registered in your country, because codes can be region-locked.

The statue: height, material, maker

The height given by the publisher tells you more than photos do. The Coen statue from The Blood of Dawnwalker is 23 cm tall and made of ABS/PVC, the Wylder figure from Elden Ring Nightreign is 25 cm. Both were made by PureArts, a company also known for standalone statues. Spider-Man 2 has a large scene with Peter, Miles and Venom, 19 inches (about 48 cm) tall.

And Ghost of Yotei? Instead of a statue it has a resin replica of Atsu's mask (about 17 x 13 x 15 cm) on a stand, plus a sash, a tsuba replica, a pouch of coins for the Zeni Hajiki game, a papercraft ginkgo tree and four art cards. A lovely set, but if you want a character figure, look elsewhere.

Language and size of the extras

Artbooks and compendiums may be in English only: that is the case with Dawnwalker (60 pages, hardcover) and Nightreign (40 pages). A big box also means shipping costs: according to Sony, the Spider-Man 2 Collector's Edition box measures about 34 x 44 x 37 cm and weighs about 5.5 kg.

Release date and pre-orders

Collector's editions are easiest to get on pre-order, because runs can be limited and restocks after release are rare. Before you pay, check when the shop takes the money, whether it wants a deposit and what happens if the release slips. We cover the details in our guide to statue pre-orders.

Where to buy in Poland and the EU

There are two main routes. The first is the publishers' official stores: Bandai Namco Store EU, Blizzard Gear EU and CD PROJEKT RED Gear. They give a detailed contents list with dimensions and materials, so editions are easy to compare. The second is Polish game shops such as GameSpot Polska or PerfectBlue: the price is in zloty straight away, with no conversion from euro.

Buying from a shop in the European Union means no customs duty, because goods moving between EU countries are not subject to duty. Still, check the shipping policy to see whether the parcel leaves a warehouse inside the EU, because an "EU" in the shop's name does not guarantee it. When you buy from outside the EU, customs duty, VAT and carrier fees come on top; we explain how to work them out in our article on customs and VAT when buying outside the EU. For offers from such shops FigurAlert shows an estimated final price with customs and VAT, so the comparison with a Polish shop is fair.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a game by the Polish studio Rebel Wolves, founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3. It was published by Bandai Namco and released on 3 September 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Besides the statue, the box holds a steelbook, a 33 x 40 cm map, a world compendium and the digital Eclipse Edition.

Elden Ring Nightreign (released 30 May 2025) is a standalone game set in the world of Elden Ring that does not require the base game. The edition also includes a steelbook, 8 Nightfarer cards, an artbook and a soundtrack code, and according to the store description, The Forsaken Hollows expansion as well.

Ghost of Yotei (released 2 October 2025) shows well that "collector's" does not mean "with a statue". We fill in the contents lists on FigurAlert edition pages automatically from shop descriptions, so always compare them with the publisher's page before you buy.

After release: sold-out editions and the secondary market

Once the publisher sells out a collector's edition, another shipment is not guaranteed, and shops are left with their last units. That is why "sold out at the maker" matters more than small price swings: from then on you are buying from leftover shop stock or on the secondary market.

Two examples from our catalogue. The Cyberpunk 2077 Collector's Edition (a 25 cm statue of V, an artbook, a steelbook, a Night City map and plenty of smaller items; announced in the US in 2019 at USD 250) is unavailable at PerfectBlue, and the last price we saw there was PLN 1,599. The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Collector's Edition is sold out at GameSpot Polska too (last seen at PLN 1,490).

Does a collector's edition gain value? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and there is no rule. Secondary-market prices depend on how popular the game is, how large the run was and the condition of the set. If you are thinking of reselling:

• keep the outer box and all the inserts,
• do not throw away the small items (cards, maps, pins), because completeness is the first thing a buyer asks about,
• remember that with a code version a redeemed code does not come back, so the set is then incomplete,
• keep the box away from sunlight and damp.

The alternative: buy the game statue separately

If you already own the game or prefer the digital version, consider the statue on its own. For similar money you can get a bigger or more finely made figure than the one in a game box, just without the game and the extras. Examples:

• Judy Alvarez from Cyberpunk 2077 by Dark Horse: about 23 cm including the base, PVC, PLN 307.99 at GeekUP (currently unavailable at CD PROJEKT RED Gear). Dark Horse also makes figures from The Witcher.
• Mephisto from Diablo IV: 66 cm, 9.8 kg, resin and PVC/ABS, EUR 700 at Blizzard Gear EU. This is the premium shelf, a different league from a figure in a game box.
• PureArts, the maker of the Dawnwalker and Nightreign statues, also makes large statues, including ones from Cyberpunk 2077.

All statues of game characters are collected in our From games section.

How to keep track of collector's editions on FigurAlert

In the Collector's editions section, pre-orders and announcements are at the top, and you can narrow the list down to your platform. Each edition page shows prices in the shops we track and the price history. The most useful tool here, though, is an alert: on an edition's page you can turn on an alert for when pre-orders open or when it is back after selling out (a free account is all you need). When to buy straight away and when to wait is covered in our article on price history and alerts.
