June 19th 2014: 'Lunging' Kratos
Greetings once more from Gaming Heads!
After the great reception of our awesome 1:1 scale bust of Kratos, we're looking to follow up with a piece just as incredible: Gaming Heads is proud to introduce our brand new 1/4 scale statue of Kratos.
Kratos will be the second piece in our God of War line, joining our 1:1 scale bust of Kratos that we unveiled earlier this year.
As can be seen in the photographs, Kratos can be seen charging head-on into battle. He wields the Blades of Chaos: His deadly pair of chained blades. Like many of our statues, there will be two versions of Kratos: A regular edition (1250 pieces worldwide) and an Exclusive Edition (500 pieces worldwide). The exclusive variant incorporates a light-up feature within the blades themselves, allowing them to slowly fade between red, orange and yellow.
