Maker of high-end collectibles First 4 Figures has announced that once again it is partnering with Capcom to bring together a life-sized bust of Amaterasu from the world of Okami. The enormous statue is the largest the company has ever created with a height of 67 cm and width of 41 cm.
As with the all First 4 Figure statues there will be a regular version and an exclusive version - The latter version will include multiple LED lights to represent fire on the beast's back. Opting for the exclusive version also entitles you to a "manual turntable" to help show off your figure in all its 360 degree glory.
As you would imagine the collectible is not the cheapest of items, with the pricing structure lining up as follows:
Amaterasu Exclusive: $724.99 (£561.22 approx)
Amaterasu Regular: $674.99 (£522.22 approx)
In the meantime the company has put up a making-of video giving extensive details of the product.
The Amaterasu life sized bust can be pre-ordered on Tuesday 2nd May, with a live stream taking place beforehand to celebrate the release:
LIVE STREAM Starts:-
2nd May - 7:00am (California), 10:00am (New York),
2nd May - 3:00pm (London), 4:00pm (Germany), 10:00pm (Hong Kong)
PREORDER LAUNCH starts 1 hour later at 11:00pm (Hong Kong)
Will you be placing an order for the Amaterasu Bust? Would you have any space for the giant?

I don't know how, but I'm buying this...I also have no idea where I'm going to put it.
Looked at the statue. Lovely. Now to look at the expected crazy price? Bye!
I would prefer an Okami Sequel.... but for that people didn't appreciate Okami enough (I bought it on playstation 2 as soon as it was released because even as a kid the game's quality was obvious if you were following the gameplay videos).
Also, for those that think that Okamiden isn't good just because Clover wasn't involved, they actually did a great job too, it's easily superior to any DS Zelda game and does justice to the original one. It's a shame both games were underrated...
Oh my god! Absolutely gorgeous
But having just spent a lot of money on the switch and accompanying games/amiibo/accessories and then buying a new gaming laptop I am absolutely flat broke... But god I want this!!
The first 4 figures vyse statue is my pride and joy!
Suddenly re buying mario kart for 60 whoppers seems very cheap.
I glanced at the article title and thought a new Okami or remake was announced. Eh, dreams will be dreams.
@roy130390 I actually got Okami for the Wii after seeing it for $10. I think it was marked wrong, since afterwards I only ever saw it being sold for $20, so I lucked out in many ways, since I feel it's one of those hidden gems. I never got Okamiden when it was released, but now that I have a New 3DS XL (somewhat recently) it's on my list of games to get.
I also keep hoping for a sequel. If they'd crowdfund it I'd jump right in. Or maybe Nintendo can get involved like they did with Bayonetta 2? I guess I'll just keep dreaming for now...
Oh my flippin god is this beautiful! If I had any money to throw at collectibles like this, it would be my number one choice!
this is nice
I don't like their fire...
@Ryu_Niiyama I have JUST enough self control to recognize that I have nowhere to put it and it costs too much to sit in its box in the basement. But only JUST enough.
If it had included Chibi however, that self control would have been insufficient.
@NEStalgia I found the limited edition statue f4f made a few months ago on ebay so I may just get that instead. It was what I really wanted...and would look slightly less creepy than a giant sun goddess in the form of a wolf head in my house. Slightly.
I don't have money to burn away like that.
This or a mortgage payment? hmmm
Okami HD on Switch...NOW!
Can't they make a normal figurine sized one, with a price to match? That would sell like crazy, but this one? You have to be crazy to buy it.
Why is this merch news again? The headline made me double check to be sure, but all it brought was disappointment.
If Nintendo were to release a life-size statue of Tharja, it would sell out in a minute
Fact
My wallet!
@roy130390: I very briefly thought this article was about an Okami game until I reread the title. I would love to see another game in the series; I was completely blown away by the Wii iteration a few years ago. Unfortunately, I think we're more likely to see a new game featuring the Blue Bomber first (which is saying something).
While I feel that Okamiden wasn't as good as Okami, it's still an excellent game. It definitely compares well with the DS Zelda games, and I feel that it outranks Phantom Hourglass for sure. Anyone who hasn't played it is missing out!
Okami was a masterpiece, however okamiden had some problems. My main problem was the translation left the video/animation playing too long any tine anyone talked. I think i was the only one who had this problem but it nearly broke the game for me. I wouldnt put it above spirit tracks either. Never played PH so i cant say if its better or worse. But okamiden had its problems
Saying that, what is with the green lightbulb on her head, i know thats not the little green guy that was basically navi/fi/midna/tatl. Also for a lifesize bust her weapon is tiny.
I would love for okami hd on switch either that or on ps4. Id love a true sequel, but i dont see that happening
Issun looks like an Idea Lightbulb on top of her head.
I love the Ammy statue it is gorgeous.
That's ridiculously gorgeous
Eh... I think it looks weird. What's with the awkward-looking green light bulb thing with Issun in it on her head? And with the weird flowery sushi stuff at the bottom? Also overall it just looks very plastic-y and toy-like, instead of some sort of statue. Just my opinions, though. I'm sure some fans will like it!
@GC-161
I'm sure the would happen to Capcom if they made a Rao figurine.
@Tyranexx
What's weird is that I just started replaying Okami today. While I will admit the ending was open ended, it felt complete. Plus, it has the craziest bosses worthy of a saturday morning anime (do they have those?): Clockwork.Dandy.Metal.Owls. Demons that give a hoot. Shame you couldn't battle them again, at least I got to battle Ninetails again.
REALLY really nice! Great job.
Now... I, too, wanted a new Okami game
Why is this coming all of a sudden? Didn't that game come out over 9 years ago? We should get a new one for the Switch because it was a great Wii game, or at least a Re-make. At this point, I would honestly even take a port.
WANT...SO...BAD...!
Also, for the love of god Capcom, please release a new Okami game! I love Monster Hunter and Mega Man and all but come on... Okami please?
@Great_Gonzalez
i got the skull kid one which is my pride and joy.
Gosh... !
Look at the price.
@GC-161
(Looked at the girl figurine)
Sometimes I wonder why there are Too Many Anime / Games Girls with sexy / naughty pose sold anywhere ? Are those for (Sorry) Pervert lover ?
How about some Muscular Athletic looking guy (Not Dragon Ball or Too Serious franchises) like Free! / Kuroko no Basuke / Chibi Muscle just like my Avatar ?
@EdFairway: Okami was the first "Zelda-like" game that I truly played. I took a run at Twilight Princess first, then forgot about it for a time when I started playing through this beautiful gem. XD The bosses are (barring the second) some of my favorites in gaming, the story is wonderful, Issun is friggin' awesome, the art is amazing, and....I could just keep going on. The game even got me interested in Japanese mythology.
I could probably buy a real life pretty wolfie on the black market for that price. =P
@Anti-Matter : They are pandering to a mostly (heterosexual) male geek audience. I guess women generally do not care much for such suggestive memorabilia as "naughty" male poses may be viewed as emasculatory. Console games are also generally played more by men than women, and thus, there are fewer women demanding merchandise pertaining to their favourite gaming/anime characters, at least where such "naughty" material is concerned. That's why you get games like that upcoming breast-grabbing Senran Kagura game on Switch, and no equivalent game for audiences looking to virtually grope male characters.
I'd love an Amaterasu figure, though perhaps a little smaller and a lot cheaper. Something that would fit on a small shelf.
I would club a walrus and carve this out of his tusk for you if you paid me that much.
@sillygostly
Ew....
I don't like Boobs. >_<
I prefer Male's Six pack body.
And I draw a lot of Six Pack Chibi Boxer since I like Cute Chibi style.
Very nice!
@Anti-Matter it's because your a women. Men like the opposite.😉
@UK-Nintendo
Eh....
I'm a 32 years old Young Man. (Blushed)
@Anti-Matter oh sorry
@Tyranexx
It is an interesting gateway into Shinto mythology, despite some creative liberties. Personally, I became more interested in the Ainu aspects near the end; I was even more surprised when there was an Ainu section at the Edinburgh museum.
@EdFairway: What game hasn't taken at least some creative liberties where real world mythology is involved?
I absolutely loved Kamui, particularly when I realized that you could make the inhabitants change themselves. XD I had no clue the Ainu even existed until I was casually researching ethnic groups a few years ago.
@Tempestryke You know the exclusive edition is going to make Issun glow.
Edit. or not...
@NEStalgia Yeah. so...I bought it. Regular edition so I have some self control. Jeepers. I need help.
@Ryu_Niiyama Hahaha! Oh boy, you are sooooo worse than me. That takes talent.
@Ryu_Niiyama
Cool.
@Tyranexx You can?
@Tempestryke: Yep! Drawing a circle around any Oina changes them into a wolf, and vice-versa. I spent a ridiculous amount of time messing around with that. XD
@Tyranexx
Okay, I totally hafta do that now.
