Netflix continues its epic collaboration with iam8bit to release limited edition collectibles based on the streamer’s popular television series. Check out this amazing The Witcher First Encounter Geralt Statue by artist Tracy Tubera!!! Limited to just 350, this 10.6” hand painted resin statue can be purchased now at Netflix.shop for $249.99.
Who can forget the brutally memorable opening sequence of The Witcher’s first episode? All is quiet — too quiet — as a baby deer nibbles grass on the shoreline of a foreboding swamp. Suddenly, a kikimora bursts out of the water, frantically flailing its giant, spidery limbs in an attempt to subdue Geralt of Rivia, disarming him of his trusted silver sword. It’s a harrowing struggle which nearly sees the drowning of our hero, but through sheer will, he reunites with his blade, sealing the fate of the eight-legged monster with the severing of its head. Here, Netflix and 9am8bit honor that inaugural clash with the aptly named First Encounter Geralt, a beautifully sculpted archival resin statue, lovingly hand-painted with an exquisite attention to detail.
It’s a delicate and marvelous mantlepiece inspired by a fan-favorite illustration by artist Tracy Tubera. The statue is housed in an elegant collector’s case, featuring a slipoff O-Sleeve, protective foam padding and premium embellishments like foil, suede and spot varnish, as well as a hand-numbered 5”x7” artist card featuring the original illustration by Tracey Tubera suitable for framing. Every possible detail was considered in order to create the penultimate unboxing experience.
