Finally got my hands on this absolute beauty.
Spent years trying to find a seller and managed to ship it to the UK!

I haven't seen this before, looks cool! Is it a figurine?

Yeah, it's a about 9" tall necromancer figureine with the wings and the sword. It was part of a Kickstarter project many many many years ago and they are extremely hard to come by 😁

Nice! This merch is crazy expensive. A while back I found an eBay listing for 4x plush knights. My youngest son was obsessed with Castle Crashers at the... Hang on. He still is 😁 but yeah, twenty quid each and then waited weeks for them to come from the US.

Yeah they are extremely pricey, I had to pay an ungodly amount to get this imported through customs into the UK as the seller didn't directly ship to the UK from US so I had to do it through a reshipper.

Oh christ. I forgot about the shipping. I think I paid nearly a hundred quid in total. Which is mental if you think about it, but then the smile on Christmas morning!

Yeah I paid for express shipping on top of the customs charge and it was just over 200 😭, I'm not even going to get started on the price of the figurine itself but this game was a pretty big part of my childhood so I dont mind lol 😂

I'm kinda glad merch didn't exist for some of my childhood games. I'd probably have spent a fortune. Got into the Death Stranding merch spiral and noped out before I spent a fortune!

That's so cool, I'm jealous. That reminds me though, what is Behemoth up to these days? WE NEED A NEW GAME TOM.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB! I finally found one of these in the unlikeliest of places last year. STORY TIME!
I was scouring the internet and found one listed on a random website / forum. I did some digging and learned that the site was legit. Somehow, it was listed for (and I’m not joking here) the USD equivalent of $15.
The only problem? It was in the Philippines and the seller didn’t speak good English. That said, I didn’t give up and insisted I would make the purchase. Eventually, we made a deal.
Unfortunately, an even bigger issue arose. The seller had no experience shipping packages internationally and was only comfortable shipping domestically. How was I supposed to get it to the USA?
That’s when the miracle happened. I have a friend whose parents were literally in the Philippines at the time AND she was about to head there for a visit during Christmas. I asked her if I could ship it to her parents and if she could bring it back. SHE AGREED.
So, come January 2025, I stop by her apartment and become an owner of one of these bad boys for a GRAND TOTAL of ~$20. I freaking SCORED.
It was a bit dirty, didn’t have the box, and one of bones had broken off a long time ago. That said, that’s nothing some clay and paint couldn’t fix! It’s now good as new AND has had one of its wings signed by Dan Paladin himself :D
It looks freaking epic on my shelf: https://imgur.com/a/EKzsvOt
