The Banko-Kazooie statue line is growing! First 4 Figures teased last week that Banjo and Kazooie’s foe Gruntilda would be getting a resin statue to call her own. Today, we got more information on her statues as well as the chance to pre-order them!
Yes, two statues! Gruntilda will be available in two editions – a Standard and an Exclusive. The difference between the two is lighting. The Exclusive Edition will feature two LED lights, making the torch and the green bubbles (coming from Gruntilda’s broom) glow and flicker.
Both Standard and Exclusive editions will be numbered and come with an authentication card. Pre-orders are available for both versions and at early bird pricing. The Standard edition is currently $499.99 (normally $545.99) and the Exclusive edition is $519.99 (normally $569.99). Early bird pricing ends in less than three weeks – after that, it’s the regular price for you. First 4 Figures is also estimating that both statues will be released in Q3 2023, so at the very least a year from now.
For an in-depth look at the statues, you can also check out First 4 Figures’ launch stream for Gruntilda which was published today as well as the listings on First 4 Figures’ site.
