TriForce - a creator of high-end, officially licensed scale replicas of famous video game characters - has revealed its next venture, and it's likely to be of interest to fans of Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee, which is due out on Switch some time in the near future.
The company is producing a 10-inch statue as part of its Yooka-Laylee Collector-Boxie. The 1.25lbs figurine depicts both Yooka and Laylee, and comes with five art cards, three laser-cut character pin badges and a metal Quill keyring, all presented in a package "inspired by the magical Grand Tomes".
The Collector-Boxie is due for release in December and costs $59.99. Tempted? Let us know with a comment.

I'd rather have the game for Switch (in a finished state that is...).
UK version with game included please...
Seems like every game has a Collectors Edition these days.
It looks rather nice though, hopefully it is representitive of the final product.
I still shiver at remembering my Bravely Default statue; looked away in its box in a cupboard somewhere.
I've been patient enough. Where is the switch version at?
This looks so awesome! I'll finally be able to play with Yooka and Laylee. They'll play with my other figurines... while I wait for the actual game...
Seen and posted it in the Yooka-Laylee forum last night. I was saying it looks gorgeous. I hope the Switch version of the game turns out well and fixes all the issues whenever it finally gets released. It's the first Switch game I bought way back when they ditched the Wii U version.
I got a pair of Yooka Laylee socks, that's enough merch to tie me over until the game releases on Switch.
Very attractive model!
Bundle it with the Switch version and you've got a deal.
But nope.
They should have farmed the game out to another company, they appear to be able to get things to market quicker!!!
Say what you will about the quality of the game, but Yooka and Laylee are great character designs, and that really shines through in that statue.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I agree. I backed this game but don't want to see the Switch version until it lives up to its promise. It is in Playtoniks best interest to improve the game as well.
Ah look, its the game! Oh, it's not...
What for ?
Thats way too expensive and we still dont have the game yet.
This amiibo skylander disney infinity crap is getting old. Getting some extra something or a special something that everone can get sooner or later. But this is getting too much 50 dollar statues and 100s of little character that is the only way i grt a cool mode or character is spending more money on a statue. They should give you something but should also be able to earn said item in game.
@Wckdlink
True ! It's hard to get enthused by a game we haven't played.
Unless you’re deeply invested in the characters, I really don’t understand why you’d want collectors stuff for a game.
Saying that, I wonder if Switch owners who haven’t played it are more enamoured with the concept than the PS4 and XB1 owners that already have?
I gave up
Thought for a moment that it was an announcement for a special edition for the Switch with a physical game cart...
I'm disappointed v.v
If that statue was an amiibo, I'd be all over that like Therasa May at a weekend fox hunting party
Where's the game?
Where's Steep the game?
Serious opportunities lost due to delays.
You see the competitors intentionally targetting switch 3rd party discounts in every sale. Especially Playstation. They slash every 3rd party switch game down to nothing.
Nintendo need to accelerate 3rd party support.
I'm still holding off on PC untill they'll fix the game (if that ever happens...)
So we can expect to get the Switch version in December, then?
It looks awesome but I don't have the money for it. I just want the game though.
So there is no game yet... and no Amiibo...(
Not very interesting without the game.
I honestly don’t give a single care about this game anymore, although, I’m kind of hoping A Hat in Time manages to get on Switch as well, as the game’s devs recently have begun attempting to port it over.
"TriForce - a creator of high-end scale replicas"
Hmmmmmmmm....
Even though I have never been interested in this game, that is one nice statue.
@the_beaver
No
It looks very much like an amiibo if you ask me.
This is the first mention I've heard of TriForce outside of work. Nice. I was starting to think their projects were BS, but apparently some of their stuff does see production.
I might have been interested in this game when I first got my Switch in July but now there are many other games that have taken my attention.Every week so many games come out and this one is just not as interesting as them. Funnily enough, if this came out on Wii U anytime from 2013 to last year I would have been all over it.The Switch is blowing my Wii U game library out of the water.
@atomicjuicer There seem to be plenty of games releasing on the Switch eshop every week It's almost too much. The devs who publish the games decide what to have on sale.Nintendo has nothing to do with that.If your worried about digital game prices tell the company that released the game to tell them to put it on sale.
Isn't Tri-Force that Nintendo fan always wearing the NES glove first-in-line at hardware launches at Nintendo's New York City store, or am I confusing him for another person?
Looks more appealing then the game itself.
This should be only available for the Switch as we got screwed over with this game lol
@atomicjuicer
It's the third-parties that slash the prices, not Sony. They set the prices. They know releases on another format generate interest through reviews so look to stir up sales of versions that are already out. It happens when e.g. existing Xbox games come out on PlayStation or PC and vice-versa. Basic marketing.
I need that statue!
It does look great, but $25 shipping costs to deliver to UK make it all too expensive, about £65 in total.
Might have been willing to give this game a chance but the delay is too off putting. Same with Rime. I'm for sure taking a pass on these two. If a delay is a month or two no problem, like with Steamworld Dig 2, but when it's months on end its a for sure no for me.
These characters are kinda lame compared to Banjo Kazooie so not sure why anyone would want this
That's so cute!!!
@electrolite77 Wrong. Sony subsidize some items in their sales. Guess which ones?
@atomicjuicer
Source?
@electrolite77 I use a bunch of apps to track sales on psn. rime, doom, yooka laylee, snake pass, syberia, nba playground, butcher are cheaper than they should be and regularly featured in sales. These are some of the best 3rd party switch offerings and they are also decent for PS4 but unlike similar quality titles on ps4 these games in particular get slashed regularly.
