Bandai Namco is releasing a brand new Pac-Man figurine this week, available to pre-order as we speak. If you like to decorate your house with quirky, artistic pieces, perhaps this would be something to consider?
The sculpture has been designed by Richard Orlinski, a French contemporary artist whose art can be found in more than 90 galleries across the world. We must say, we initially thought that this actually was from a gallery rather than something you can buy, but it's officially being released as a purchasable product this Friday.
As you can see, Pac-Man is available in his usual yellow colouring, but you can also get it in black which is an interesting choice.
Features:
Designed by: Richard Orlinski
HEIGHT: 18CM
MATERIAL: resin / glossy finish
If you just so happen to have fallen in love with the figure, you can pick up either colour from Bandai Namco's store for £125. It's pricey, but then again it does look like it'd be a pretty expensive piece - our lack of knowledge on art is showing horribly, isn't it?
Do you like the piece? It's certainly a different take to the usual plush toys and amiibo we end up collecting. Share your thoughts with us below.

Sorry but I don't like the look of it at all
Too pricey for me but man that looks good. I like the black one.
That looks like it should cost a fraction of what it actually does.
It looks like it belongs in the bargain bin.
It looks cool..... But yea no. That should go for maybe half that price. It ain't no gold
I'm quite happy with my amiibo at a tenth of the cost, thanks.
it looks like trash

If it was produced in very limited numbers then maybe.
All i get is a 404 error on the Bandia website @ryancraddock from the link.
Edit: If anybody outside of Europe wants to check it out just click on the link provided in the article(Part in Red) then click on the back to homepage icon on the Bandai site.
Sorry it looks like it belongs in a bin or comes free with a happy meal. Awful!
@BacklogBlues Are you based outside of Europe? The link goes to the European store so perhaps it can't be accessed from elsewhere?
Sure am @ryancraddock. Thanks
I've bought 4, one for each of my Jaguars - they will look nice on the front, replacing the standard mascot.
Looks terrible, IMO
Looks like it came from the Luncheon Kingdom...
I mean..it looks cool. But the price take is way to high for what it is
@Bunkerneath Took the words right out of my mouth!
@Bunkerneath Agreed, looks pretty ugly.
PacMan sucks 😅 They throw crap like PacMan and QBert in movies because it's a cheap video character, but nobody really cares about them. Bargain bin fodder.
It looks great, really love the style. But £125 seems a lot for a relatively small figurine/statue.
I think it's funny how down to earth gamers can be. I mean realistically video games are more of a form of art than any abstract piece of art in a museum. However, the reaction to this figure is an abstract look at a already well designed character and everyone hates it. Lol art is a funny thing
It looks like an unpainted 3D print attempt using a very basic 3D model that even the most basic of printers could crank out.
Looks pretty cool.
