Rooster Teeth, the pioneering entertainment and media company behind some of the biggest online series in history, is excited to announce a new project with award-winningMcFarlane Toys, reimagining an epic battle from their worldwide hit anime seriesRWBYin a high-quality, limited edition cold-cast resin statue: The RWBY Alpha Beowolf Battle Statue. And as a fan of both the high-quality McFarlane collectibles and the fantastic animated series itself, let me just say that it looksspectacular. We’re happy to bring you an exclusive first look at the statue before it arrives in person at this weekend’sRTX 2018 in Austin, TX.
By way of background for this phenomenalRWBYcollectible, huntresses in training Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee have each fought their share of Grimm solo, but they’ll need to work together to overcome the might of a monstrous Alpha Beowolf! With her iconic weapon Crescent Rose in hand, Ruby slashes her way to the front of the fight on an icy battlefield. Meanwhile, Weiss springs off a summoned glyph for an aerial sneak attack using her deadly Multi Action Dust Rapier, Myrtenaster.
At 12” high by 15.4” wide by 12.9” deep (!!!), this fully sculpted statue exquisitely depicts all the action and drama of aRWBYbattle scene. I particularly love the attention to detail in Weiss' glyph and in the trail of Ruby’s scythe. You can check out said details and find more to love in our collection of images below, along with info on how you can get your hands on this limited-edition collectible statue.
“McFarlane Toys has absolutely nailed the spirit of RWBY with this statue.” saidKerry Shawcross, RWBY director and co-writer. “This might be the coolest thing we’ve ever made. I can’t believe it.”
