Once in a while an organization makes a determine that’s meant to depict an iconic second in a bit of media, and normally I take a look at these and go “cool,” earlier than transferring on. However this $300 statue of fan-favorite mercenary Rebecca from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime made my jaw drop as a result of it was, as one succinct X (previously Twitter) consumer put it, “like in case you bought a determine of Outdated Yeller in entrance of the barrel of a shotgun.”
Darkish Horse’s “The Ultimate Second” statue depicts Rebecca in, nicely, her last moments. She’s angrily firing her signature green-and-pink shotgun up at Adam Smasher, the sadistic, foul-mouthed cyborg who permeates the Cyberpunk mythos and famously serves as the ultimate boss of Cyberpunk 2077. The statue depicts the bastard barrelling towards her from on excessive, and anybody who’s watched Edgerunners is aware of he’s about to place the “smash” in Smasher and crush her in entrance of all of Night time Metropolis. And now you, too, can relive this tragic second for $300, plus transport and dealing with.
The 14-inch-tall statue is about to ship out between Might and July of subsequent 12 months, and even when it’s a type of weird second to seize in a collectible, it appears fairly rattling good. Each Rebecca and Smasher are extremely detailed, and there are a variety of small touches—just like the bullet casings at her ft—that assist inform a narrative in a single second, frozen in time. Fortunately, it doesn’t reveal the devastating ending, so any guests to your property don’t have to know that you just’re proudly displaying the second earlier than a catastrophe.

Whereas Cyberpunk: Edgerunners isn’t getting a second season, Netflix is engaged on a second anime set within the Cyberpunk universe. It’s not too shocking the streaming service would wish to double down, given Edgerunners was a giant success for them. Hell, it was so good it roughly rehabilitated Cyberpunk 2077’s picture after its damaged launch in 2020. Developer CD Projekt RED did its justifiable share of the work, too, turning issues round for the beleaguered sport with updates and a stellar enlargement in Phantom Liberty.
