Keanu Reeves as Cyberpunk 2077 Figurine for $850

PureArts has released another figure under license of Cyberpunk 2077. The multimedia model of Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand is available to buyers willing to spend almost $850.

Johnny Silverhand received one of the most expensive Cyberpunk 2077 figurines.

The advertising campaign of Cyberpunk 2077 reaches almost every industry. We have already had consoles, GPUs, puzzles, backpacks, energy drinks, gaming chairs and much more. There were also various figurines, such as the work of PureArts, priced at 230 dollars. The Chinese company has just presented another product from its catalogue. We are talking about a Johnny Silverhand figurine in deluxe version, for which PureArts wishes $899. There is also a standard version available, costing "only" 849 dollars. Both figures are currently available for pre-order and will be sent in the first half of 2021.

The price, which is more than three times higher than for V's figure, is fully justified here. First of all, the model was made in 1:4 scale, not 1:6. Silverhand from PureArts measures just over 53 centimeters instead of 33 cm. It does not have as many joints as the previous product (which gives us much less freedom in setting its position), but in terms of details it does not differ from the previous figurines from the same company. The set also includes accessories, including glasses and a guitar (although this one is only included in the deluxe version). However, what probably increases the price the most is the over 13-inch HD LCD screen with dual speaker system and backlighting. The former displays game videos that can be viewed accompanied by the official soundtrack of Cyberpunk 2077 included in the set.

Some may add that the price was also influenced by the character itself. What's the default and less recognizable and characterless V in comparison to Keanu Reeves, who lent the appearance and voice to Johnny Silverhand? For this reason, it wouldn't be strange if the figure would tempt even those who don't really care about Cyberpunk 2077. Another thing is that there's probably no shortage of people willing to buy it, given the interest in CD Projekt RED's new game. The title will be released on November 19 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
