Regular, Deluxe, Exclusive or Bonus: statue versions explained

The same statue can come in three or four versions, and the price gap between them ranges from about two hundred zloty to more than two thousand. Regular, Deluxe, Exclusive, Bonus, Premium, Ultimate: every maker arranges these names in its own way, and shops sometimes add their own. Here is what usually sits behind each of them, using three version families we track in October 2026: David Martinez from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners by Prime 1 Studio, Johnny Silverhand by PureArts and Wonder Woman 1984 by Queen Studios.

Why makers release several versions of one sculpt

The most expensive stage in making a large statue is the design and the sculpt. Once the mould exists, the maker can turn it into several releases that differ in three ways:

• what is in the box: extra heads, hands, weapons, effects, a bigger or lit base;
• where it is sold: some versions go only to the maker's own store, a chosen distributor or a convention;
• edition size: each version usually has its own piece limit.

A collector on a tighter budget buys the base version, while someone who wants the full set pays extra for the additional parts. The character itself, its sculpt and its paint are usually the same across all versions, which is worth remembering when you compare prices.

Regular (Standard): the base version

Regular, called Standard by some makers (in 2017 Sideshow renamed its standard editions to Collector Edition), is the statue in its basic configuration: one head, one pose, the full base. It is not a "lesser" version in terms of quality. David Martinez in the Regular version has the same base, modelled on the Afterlife bar with LED-lit neon, as the pricier releases. Prime 1 Studio does not list any swappable parts for it.

The Regular often gives you the most statue for your money. If you set a figure up once and do not plan to swap heads every month, the surcharge for an extended version mostly buys parts that will stay in the box.

Deluxe, Premium, Ultimate: more in the box

Deluxe is the most common name for an extended version. It adds parts that let you change how the statue looks: heads with different expressions, swappable hands and arms, weapons, effects, sometimes a bigger base or lighting. Two examples:

• David Martinez 1/4 Deluxe (Prime 1 Studio): three heads (serious, open mouth, smiling), three swappable left arms (hand in pocket, gun raised, gun aimed forward), a Pulsar pistol and two stands that let you display the spare heads next to the statue.
• Johnny Silverhand 1/4 Deluxe (PureArts): the only difference from the Regular is a 1/4 scale replica of Johnny's guitar. The LCD screen in the base, the speakers and the swappable accessories (sunglasses, cigarette, Malorian Arms pistol) come with both versions.

Naming is not consistent. Prime 1 Studio goes beyond Deluxe with an Ultimate version: for the Doom Slayer statue from Doom Eternal, the Standard had an LED helmet and the base, the Deluxe added two swappable right arms and the Ultimate a third one, with the BFG 9000 among the options. At XM Studios, Premium is the name of the whole line (Premium Collectibles), and versions are told apart by a letter: Superman Classic Version B came with extra heads and arms that Version A does not have. Queen Studios, in turn, calls its version with an extra head the Premium Edition. That is why you should always read the contents list, not just the name.

Exclusive: a different sales channel

Exclusive is mainly about where a version is sold. Sideshow describes its Exclusive Edition as a release with an extra perk, accessory or availability that you can only get directly through sideshow.com. PureArts works in a similar way: the Exclusive version of Solomon Reed from Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty was limited to 250 pieces, came with a wearable replica of his pendant and was sold only on PureArts.com. An Exclusive can also be a version made for a specific distributor or convention.

It usually means a smaller edition, but not always. A good example is Wonder Woman 1984 1/4 by Queen Studios. In the shop we track, this version is called Exclusive and its edition size is given as 1,000 pieces. On its own store the maker describes two versions: Regular (500 pieces, head in the golden eagle helmet) and Premium Edition (1,000 pieces, an extra head with flowing hair alongside the helmeted one). Everything suggests that the "Exclusive" here is the Premium Edition, and that the base version had half the edition size. Queen Studios priced the two at USD 710 and USD 860, so the extra head cost USD 150. Years later, shop prices can drift much further apart, so with older statues compare not only the amounts but also what is in the box.

Bonus: an extra for those who are quick

Bonus versions are a Prime 1 Studio speciality. A Bonus version comes with one additional part, labelled on the maker's page as a "bonus part", and is sold from a separate, limited pool. David Martinez has three entries in the maker's catalogue: Regular (200 pieces, USD 999), Deluxe (300 pieces, USD 1,199) and Deluxe Bonus (500 pieces, USD 1,199). The Deluxe Bonus is the full Deluxe version plus a Kyubi assault rifle. At the maker, both Deluxe versions cost the same, so you do not pay for the bonus, you just have to be in time. In the offer we track today, however, the Deluxe Bonus version costs USD 100 more than the plain Deluxe.

The exact rules depend on the statue and are set out on the product page. Sometimes the Bonus version is sold only in the maker's store, sometimes there and through authorised retailers, and sometimes pre-orders close once the order limit is reached. When the pool runs out, the same version without the extra part remains, and after release you are usually left with the secondary market or the odd unit still in a shop. We cover deposits and dates for this kind of order in our article on statue pre-orders.

Limited and numbered editions, and Chase

Most statues in this price range have a limited edition size, and each piece is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Johnny Silverhand by PureArts is limited to 2077 pieces in each of its two versions, numbered and with a certificate. The limit usually applies to one version, not to the whole sculpt: the three versions of David Martinez add up to 1,000 pieces. So the number on the base tells you which piece of that version your statue is, not how many of that sculpt were made in total.

Funko rarity works differently. A Chase is a rarer variant of a regular figure, for example in a different colour or glow-in-the-dark, that is packed only in some cases. It is a separate world with its own rules and has little in common with versions of large statues.

What the upgrade costs: two Cyberpunk examples

Contents, edition size and maker price come from the Prime 1 Studio and PureArts pages. The last column shows the lowest landed price on 21 October 2026. For David Martinez it is our estimate for buying from a shop outside the EU, including customs duty and Polish VAT, while Johnny Silverhand is available from the PureArts EU store, with VAT included and no customs. Neither amount includes shipping.

Version	What is in the box	Edition size	Maker price	Landed price
David Martinez Regular	statue, Afterlife base with LED	200 pcs	USD 999	approx. PLN 4,990 (estimate)
David Martinez Deluxe	Regular plus 3 heads, 3 swappable arms, Pulsar, 2 head stands	300 pcs	USD 1,199	approx. PLN 6,521 (estimate)
David Martinez Deluxe Bonus	Deluxe plus Kyubi rifle	500 pcs	USD 1,199	approx. PLN 7,032 (estimate)
Johnny Silverhand Regular	statue, base with LCD screen and speakers, sunglasses, cigarette, pistol	2077 pcs	EUR 949	approx. PLN 4,149
Johnny Silverhand Deluxe	Regular plus 1/4 guitar replica	2077 pcs	EUR 999	approx. PLN 4,367

With David, moving from Regular to Deluxe costs about PLN 1,530 for the extra expressions, swappable arms and the Pulsar, and the Bonus adds roughly another PLN 510 for a single rifle. With Johnny, the difference is about PLN 220 (EUR 50) for the guitar, the prop most closely tied to the character. All three David versions are on pre-order, and the maker plans to ship between December 2026 and March 2027. Both families show that "Deluxe" can mean very different added value from one maker to another.

How FigurAlert keeps versions apart

Each version is a separate figure on our site, with its own page, offers and price history. We do not mix Regular and Deluxe prices, so a cheaper version does not drag down the median of a pricier one or create a false deal on it. On a figure page, the "Other versions" block lists the other releases of the same sculpt, starting with the Regular, with the lowest price of each. In search you can filter by version, and the Exclusive section gathers Exclusive versions, releases with a bonus part and statues sold out at the maker. You set a price or back-in-stock alert on the page of a specific version, so an alert on the Regular will not go off when the Deluxe gets cheaper.

Which version to buy

A few questions that help you decide:

1. How will you display it? If the statue will stand in one pose for years, the Regular is usually enough. Swappable heads and arms make sense if you like to change your display or want to put a spare head on a stand next to it.
2. Does the extra matter to you? Johnny's guitar or a weapon tied to the character can mean more to a fan than an extra expression. Read the contents list on the maker's page and compare the photos, because promotional images usually show the richest version. For David Martinez, Prime 1 Studio states outright that the photo shows the Deluxe version.
3. What is the surcharge in zloty? When you buy from outside the EU, customs duty and VAT are charged on the full price, so the dollar difference grows once converted. We explain the rules in our article on customs and VAT when buying outside the EU.
4. Are you thinking about resale? Exclusive and Bonus versions with smaller editions are sometimes more sought after later, but that is a tendency, not a rule, and we have no secondary market data to back it up. Buy the version you want on your shelf, not the one that is supposed to make money one day.

You can see the versions of David Martinez and Johnny Silverhand side by side on their pages. The rest of the catalogue is in the Statues section, on the maker pages for Prime 1 Studio, PureArts and Queen Studios, and in the Cyberpunk 2077 series.
