This Avatar bust costs a ludicrous $9000 if you want to pre-order it

From Infinity Studio, this Avatar: The Way of Water full-scale bust is now available for pre-order and it’s got an incredibly steep price.

Now available on Hobby Link Japan and other stores across the world, Infinity Studio’s latest lifesize bust of movie characters comes with an equally massive price tag.

Originally billed on the studio’s website with a suggested retail price of $5850 for the premium version. However, now that it’s up for pre-order, the price has inflated to $8,946, presumably including shipping and importing the statue.

Those with money burning in their pocket, but not entirely convinced spending nearly $9000 is going to be worth it, there’s a cheaper model. This “Elite” version doesn’t include the lower part of the body, or foliage. Hobby Link Japan has listed the price at $5,286.

It’s currently set for pre-order and will start shipping in December 2024. This will put it a year out from the supposed release of the third Avatar movie.

Giant Avatar bust goes on sale for nearly $9000

Avatar: The Way of Water was released in December 2022, 13 years after the original. The bust depicts the lead heroine, Neytiri. Played by Zoe Saldaña, in The Way of Water she and Jake Sulley’s family are cast out from their home to escape the threat of the RDA.

The Premium figure is actually a little taller than the Elite model. Infinity’s Premium model comes in at a height of 117.3cm (46.18 inches), which is around 3.8 feet. As a Na’vi comes in at around 10 feet, it’s quite frightening to think just how big it is.

In images from thenchanzplace, you can see a group of people clambering to put the finishing touches on the bust. It seems they took that 1:1 scale thing incredibly seriously.
