The statue of V doesn’t just feature theDevil May Cryfranchise’s most recent playable character, but his summons whichDevil May Cry 5fans will be very familiar with. SinceV breaks tradition within the franchiseby playing a most distant action role, it’s no surprise that his “familiars” are heavily featured. The statue has all three of the V’s battle companions with Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare all present and accounted for as shown in the trailer below.
Griffon, V’s mouthy crow companion, is perched on the summoner’s shoulder and displays impressive detail through its bright blue feathers. Shadow, the panther summon, also shows what the statue has to offer with etched fur across its body. Finally, while Nightmare is only shown through its eye instead of its full formation, it does feature LED illumination to make sure nobody forgets its there. Each of the three also add a level of fan service witheach familiar being a reference to bosses from the originalDevil May Cry.
Prime 1 Studio is considered the elite of statue manufacturers around the world. Prime 1 is well regarded for producing statues that go above and beyond in creating pieces of art that not only demonstrate taste, but also considerable wealth. Any Prime 1 statue will set buyers back a hefty sum and the upcomingDevil May Cry 5V statue is no exception to that rule. The current preorder price for the statue sits at 123,900 yen which translates to a whopping $1200. It is by no estimations cheap, but it follows similar pricing to previous Prime 1 statues likethe recently revealedWitcher 3Geralt Statue.
So while the price tag for the V statue may be way too high for mostDevil May Cryfans, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t cause for excitement. Just days ago,Devil May Cry5 director Hideaki Itsuno teased his next gamethrough a New Years message. The director also took the chance to ask fans to give the recent release ofDevil May Cry 5 Special Editiona whirl and play as returning character Vergil.
