Given Titanfall’s monumental scale, it’s only fitting that the game’s release bears accouterments of equally grand proportions. Its developer, Respawn Entertainment, must have wholeheartedly agreed; unleashing what is undoubtedly the definitive premium set, the Titanfall Collector’s Edition.
Sure, the exclusive poster and 192-page art book are great additions, but it’s the jaw-dropping Atlas Titan statue and diorama that make this pricy ($250 USD) set a sought-after prize for fans of the lauded multiplayer sci-fi shooter.
Once removed from its protective packaging the enormity and complexity of this collectible become even more impressive. Handcrafted from hundreds of individual components, the Titan statue stands nearly 19” on a base that’s roughly 18.5” wide. Scanning the surface, it’s evident that Respawn and the statue’s manufacturer, Development Plus, Inc., went to great lengths to capture the game’s titular mechanized combatant in exhaustive detail.
Inspired by one of Titanfall’s typical action scenes, the statue comes with a permanently affixed Militia soldier “rodeoing” the Titan along with two removable IMC “grunts” that mount to the diorama’s base. Like the Titan, the human figures don’t feature any articulation, yet the detailed sculpture and authentically intricate painted finish on each satisfactorily compensate for the limited poseability.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the monolithic Titanfall Collector’s Edition statue is its light-up feature. With the press of a button on the base (cleverly designed to look like stone debris), the Atlas Titan’s external sensors and the visor of its mounted adversary illuminate. The colors of the internal LEDs can be toggled from red to blue to display their affiliation as in the game. It’s another wonderfully superfluous and arcane detail that Titanfall fans and collectors are certain to appreciate.
Boasting thrilling and frenetic action across a variety of game modes, there’s no shortage of reasons to jump into Titanfall’s multiplayer fray. For fans looking to celebrate the release with (a lot) more, the Titanfall Collector’s Edition is the only version that will suffice.
