Assassin’s Creed collectors have another expensive centerpiece to consider. PureArts has listed a new 1/2-scale Edward Kenway statue inspired by the pirate Assassin, combining an enormous 43-inch height with premium materials including silicone skin, glass eyes, fabric, leather, and metal.
The price is equally imposing: $2,999 USD on PureArts' US storefront at the time of writing. Only 500 pieces are planned, according to the manufacturer, and estimated delivery is currently Q2 2027.
That timing is particularly noteworthy for Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft's original Assassin’s Creed was released in 2007, meaning 2027 marks 20 years since the franchise began.
While this collectible is clearly aimed at serious statue collectors rather than the average player looking for inexpensive gaming merchandise, its design contains plenty of recognizable details for fans of Edward Kenway and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
Edward Kenway Gets a Massive New Assassin’s Creed Statue
PureArts calls the collectible part of its Prestige Line and describes it as a premium 1/2-scale representation of Edward Kenway.
Edward appears ready for combat, carrying two weapons strongly associated with his pirate identity: a cutlass and a flintlock pistol. His recognizable Assassin clothing has also been reproduced with a mixture of materials instead of relying entirely on sculpted polyresin.
The scale immediately separates the release from many conventional gaming statues.
According to PureArts, the finished collectible measures approximately:
- 43 inches (110 cm) tall
- 15.5 inches (39 cm) wide
- 14 inches (36 cm) deep
- 42 pounds (19 kg) estimated weight
That 43-inch height makes the statue more than three and a half feet tall. Displaying it therefore requires substantially more room than a conventional action figure, bust, or smaller-scale gaming collectible.
Its shipping specifications are even larger. PureArts lists packaged dimensions of 47 x 27 x 28 inches and an estimated packaged weight of 100 pounds.
Those measurements are worth considering before ordering, particularly for collectors who have limited display or storage space.
How Much Does the Edward Kenway Statue Cost?
The PureArts Prestige Line Assassin’s Creed Edward 1/2 Scale Statue is listed at $2,999 USD on PureArts' US site at the time of writing. PureArts also advertises a 16-month payment plan.
That price puts it firmly into premium collectible territory.
The cost becomes easier to understand when looking at the construction. Rather than being a relatively small PVC figure, the statue combines a large 1/2-scale format with multiple materials and a portrait designed to imitate realistic human features.
Still, $2,999 represents a major purchase even for an established Assassin’s Creed collector. The appeal will likely depend heavily on whether someone wants a centerpiece rather than simply another representation of Edward Kenway.
There are significantly smaller Edward collectibles for fans who prefer a more manageable display piece, including other PureArts Animus releases.
Edward Kenway Statue Specifications
Here are the major details confirmed by PureArts:
| Feature | Edward Kenway Prestige Statue |
|---|---|
| Character | Edward Kenway |
| Franchise | Assassin’s Creed |
| Manufacturer | PureArts |
| License | Ubisoft |
| Scale | 1/2 |
| Height | 43 in / 110 cm |
| Width | 15.5 in / 39 cm |
| Depth | 14 in / 36 cm |
| Estimated weight | 42 lb / 19 kg |
| Edition size | 500 |
| Materials | Polyresin, silicone, leather, metal, glass and textiles |
| Estimated delivery | Q2 2027 |
| Listed US price | $2,999 |
| Availability | Worldwide |
These specifications come from PureArts' current product listing, which also notes that product photography depicts a prototype and that the final product may differ.
That prototype disclaimer is important. Buyers should treat the currently displayed images as a representation of the planned collectible rather than a guarantee that every tiny production detail will remain unchanged.
Why the Statue Looks More Realistic
Size alone does not explain the statue's premium positioning.
One of its most distinctive elements is the approach PureArts has taken to Edward's face and clothing. Instead of producing every visible surface from the same hard material, the company uses several materials intended to create different textures.
Silicone Skin and Glass Eyes
PureArts says Edward's portrait features silicone skin, glass eyes, and individually punched hair.
Those choices distinguish the Prestige Line release from a conventional molded PVC character figure.
The individually applied hair is particularly significant because Edward's facial hair and hairstyle contribute considerably to his appearance. Similarly, glass eyes and silicone provide different reflective and surface qualities from painted solid resin.
The result is intended to create a more lifelike representation of the pirate Assassin.
It also explains why PureArts describes the collectible as museum-quality. That is the manufacturer's characterization, rather than an independent assessment, but the construction is clearly more elaborate than its smaller PVC Edward figure.
Fabric, Leather and Metal Costume Details
Edward's outfit receives similar treatment.
PureArts says the Assassin costume incorporates fabric, leather, and metal accessories.
Mixed-media construction can help separate materials that are visually distinct on the original character. Cloth can behave like cloth, while leather and metal components can have different textures instead of all being simulated through paint.
Edward is also equipped with a cutlass and flintlock pistol.
Together, these details emphasize both sides of the character's identity: Assassin and pirate.
The Jackdaw-Inspired Base
The character isn't the statue's only connection to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
PureArts has designed the base around the Jackdaw, Edward Kenway's ship. The manufacturer's product description says the finely sculpted display base is inspired by the vessel and includes Assassin’s Creed detailing.
That choice is fitting because the Jackdaw plays a central role in Black Flag's naval gameplay.
Rather than placing Edward on a generic platform, the ship-inspired design gives the display an immediate visual connection to his adventures at sea.
PureArts has used a similar idea before.
Its 1/4-scale Animus Edward statue also depicts the character on the stern of the Jackdaw, accompanied by an illuminated Animus effect.
The Prestige version takes a different route, emphasizing scale, realistic portrait work, mixed materials, and its limited production run.
Only 500 Statues Are Planned
PureArts lists an edition size of 500 pieces for the 1/2-scale Edward Kenway statue. Each includes an individually numbered bottom plate and a certificate of authenticity with a matching edition number.
The limited run is an important distinction from some less expensive collectibles.
However, a limited edition should not automatically be treated as an investment. Secondary-market prices can rise or fall based on demand, condition, availability, shipping costs, and many other factors.
For most buyers, the stronger reason to purchase such an expensive statue is likely to be enthusiasm for the character and the collectible itself.
The worldwide availability also means the 500-unit production run is not reserved for one territory, according to the current PureArts listing.
When Will the Edward Kenway Statue Be Released?
PureArts currently estimates Q2 2027 delivery for its Prestige Line Edward Kenway statue.
In calendar terms, Q2 covers April through June, although an estimated delivery window should not be interpreted as a guaranteed shipping date.
PureArts identifies the collectible as a pre-order item currently in production. Its product page also states that pre-orders are subject to a 15% deposit allocation under the company's pre-order terms. Prospective buyers should check the current conditions directly before purchasing, particularly because shipping, taxes, payment arrangements, and regional policies can change.
The 2027 window also coincides with an important milestone.
The first Assassin’s Creed launched in 2007, making 2027 the franchise's 20th anniversary year.
How It Compares With Other Edward Kenway Statues
The $2,999 Prestige statue isn't PureArts' first attempt at bringing Edward Kenway into the physical world.
In fact, collectors now have dramatically different interpretations of the character across multiple scales.
PureArts 1/4-Scale Animus Edward
One major alternative is the Assassin’s Creed Animus Edward 1/4-scale statue.
PureArts currently lists the standard version at $899 USD. It measures approximately 31 inches tall and weighs around 20 pounds. Its polyresin construction includes an LED system that illuminates an Animus visual effect. The standard edition has a stated production run of 2,000 units.
An exclusive edition was limited to 500 pieces and included a life-size clip-on replica of Edward's shoulder strap buckle. PureArts' current listing indicates that this exclusive edition has extremely limited regional availability.
The differences between that release and the new Prestige model are substantial.
| Feature | Prestige Edward | Animus Edward |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | 1/2 | 1/4 |
| Height | 43 in | 31 in |
| Listed price | $2,999 | $899 standard |
| Main construction | Mixed materials | Polyresin |
| Edition | 500 | 2,000 standard |
| Presentation | Realistic Prestige design | LED Animus effect |
For collectors deciding between them, the question isn't simply which representation looks better. Space, price, preferred materials, and display style are major considerations.
1/8-Scale Animus Edward
There is an even smaller option.
PureArts has also produced a 1/8-scale Animus Edward Kenway statue. Ubisoft highlighted the collectible in June 2026 as part of a group of Black Flag merchandise from PureArts.
This version depicts Edward with one foot on the Jackdaw's rear railing, pistol in his left hand and sword in his right. An LED-lit Animus element rises from the ship-themed base.
The smaller statue also supports an Animus Link USB-C system that can connect compatible 1/8-scale statues while using one USB power connection.
GameStop's listing confirms that the 1/8 model uses PVC and ABS, carries an Ubisoft license, and has an open edition size.
This makes the different Edward collectibles serve very different audiences.
The 1/8-scale model offers a compact interpretation. The 1/4-scale version moves into substantial premium-statue territory. And the 1/2-scale Prestige release is designed to dominate a display space.
Why Edward Kenway Remains Important to Assassin’s Creed
Edward Kenway is the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, a game that combined the series' historical Assassin-versus-Templar conflict with piracy and extensive naval exploration.
His identity is unusual within the broader series because piracy is central to his characterization. Ships, naval battles, treasure hunting, and the Caribbean setting became defining parts of Black Flag's experience.
That heritage is visible throughout PureArts' Edward merchandise.
The Jackdaw repeatedly appears as a design influence, while swords, flintlock pistols, Hidden Blades, pirate clothing, and Assassin insignia connect the collectibles directly to Edward's visual identity.
Ubisoft and PureArts also expanded the Black Flag collectible range in 2026. Ubisoft announced five ready-to-ship products, including the 1/8-scale Animus Edward statue, a bust, a Qlector figure, and a wearable 1/1-scale Hidden Blade replica.
The new Prestige statue sits at the extreme premium end of that merchandise spectrum.
At $2,999, a height of 43 inches, and an edition limited to 500, it is clearly not designed to be an impulse purchase.
Instead, it is a large-format centerpiece for dedicated Assassin’s Creed and Edward Kenway collectors—and one scheduled to arrive during the franchise's 20th anniversary year.

Conclusion
The new Assassin’s Creed Edward Kenway statue is one of PureArts' most ambitious representations of the Black Flag protagonist. Its $2,999 price makes that immediately clear, but the specifications go considerably further: 1/2 scale, a 43-inch height, mixed-media clothing, silicone skin, glass eyes, individually punched hair, and a production run limited to 500.
With estimated delivery scheduled for Q2 2027, the statue is also set to arrive during the year Assassin’s Creed reaches its 20th anniversary.
Collectors who cannot justify the Prestige model have alternatives. PureArts' existing 1/4 and 1/8-scale Edward Kenway releases provide different combinations of price, size, materials, and Animus-inspired effects.
For the most dedicated Black Flag collector with both the budget and display space, however, the 1/2-scale Edward is built to be the centerpiece.
