The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may have only been out for five years, but it has earned its place amongst the highest-rated video games in the current industry. At this point, it can’t be argued that this third installment in The Witcher franchise is one of the best open-world games under the last console generation, given its expansive and beautiful open world and its overwhelming amount of content.
Now, dedicated fans who have extra money they don’t know what to do with will be happy to know that there’s a piece of The Witcher 3 merchandise they can look forward to. To be more specific, Prime 1 Studio has revealed a highly-detailed Geralt of Rivia statue, and it’s mighty expensive.
Prime 1 Studio is a manufacturer that specializes in licensed collectibles, and each one is impressively high in quality. Over the past couple of years, the company has released countless statues and figures that are iconic to pop culture.
Geralt is the biggest monster slayer of them all. Literally!
Presenting a new addition to @Prime1Studio’s lineup — ⅓ scale Geralt of Rivia! Pre-orders available now.

For instance, Prime 1 Studio previously released incredibly detailed statues of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker as well as Street Fighter 5’s Ryu. That being said, it’s not easy to obtain any of their products because each one has a hefty price tag — with most statues being priced over $1000.
The Geralt of Rivia statue isn’t any different, as Prime 1 Studio is selling it at a price range of $1299-$1449. At the same time, we somewhat understand its pricing because one look at the statue and we can see just how detailed it is. The promotional images and video showcase Geralt holding up the decapitated trio of heads from a monster he killed.
The entire statue is impressive, as every inch of Geralt’s figure is intricately detailed — from the scratches on his face to the texture of his armor’s fabric. It’s definitely not like the other The Witcher 3 toys out there, as this one stands at more or less three 3 feet tall and weighs about 57 pounds. Needless to say, it’s much bigger than your average collectible.
This Geralt of Rivia statue by Prime 1 Studio is clearly targeting dedicated fans of not only The Witcher 3 but of the entire series in general. Although collectors, in general, might also be interested in this one, especially those who enjoy gathering premium memorabilia.
The statue comes in two versions: Standard and Deluxe. As you can imagine, the Deluxe version is more expensive with a price of $1449 because it comes with more parts. More specifically, Prime 1 Studio’s Geralt statue comes with four swappable head parts, each with different expressions.
These head parts for the Deluxe version include Geralt’s standard stoic expression; Geralt without a beard looking somewhat annoyed; Geralt with the Hearts of Stone mark on the side of his face; and Geralt with dark veins which indicate that his toxicity levels are high.
In addition to that, this 1/3 scale stands on a base that has the iconic medallion that Witcher’s have. In this case, Geralt’s medallion represents the School of Wolf. The statue even comes with Geralt’s trusty dual swords, which accompany him at all times during the game.
Overall, Prime 1 Studio’s statue of The Witcher 3’s Geralt of Rivia is, for lack of an even better word, incredible. Sadly, it’s just not a product that many fans will be able to buy. Those who can shell out that amount of cash, however, will be able to add an amazing piece to their collection.
