McFarlane Toys has released details about three new Cyberpunk 2077 figures, including two action figures and one statue. The figures will be released shortly before Cyberpunk 2077’s April 2020 release date. Cyberpunk 2077 is the newest game from CD Projekt Red. The developer is well known for its acclaimed game series The Witcher, based on a set of fantasy novels of the same name (which recently received a TV adaption via Netflix series The Witcher).
Cyberpunk 2077 is similarly based on a preexisting property, this time owing its setting to tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020. CD Projekt Red’s adaptation is a first-person RPG set in Night City, which offers a brighter, sunnier take on traditional cyberpunk genre norms. The game’s unique setting and CD Projekt Red’s pedigree have made the game one of the coming year’s most anticipated releases.
It’s no surprise, then, that Cyperbunk 2077 is already spawning its fair share of merchandise, including three figures from McFarlane Toys. While there may be more on the way eventually, McFarlane has revealed one figure of the game’s male protagonist, as well as one figure and one statue of the notable character Johnny Silverhand. CD Projekt Red revealed at E3 2019 that Silverhand, who first appeared in the tabletop series, would be played by beloved actor Keanu Reeves. Reeves’ E3 2019 appearance was one of the show’s most memorable moments, so fans of the game will likely be interested in snagging either of his two McFarlane depictions. The Silverhand action figure comes with a guitar, a guitar strap, an alcohol bottle, and an alternate “rock on” hand, while the Johnny Silverhand Chrome Rock Concert Statue shows the musician in a mid-performance pose.
The protagonist action figure shows the default look of the game’s male protagonist, known only as “V.” Besides a base to place the figure on, the V figure comes with a few accessories that hint at items players will be able to use in-game: a pink laser katana, a Kang Tao-Dian SMG, and a Militech Saratoga Pistol. These weapons will likely play into Cyberpunk 2077’s varied playstyles, shown off in detail in the game’s PAX West 2019 gameplay video. The V and Johnny Silverhand figures are available to pre-order for $29.99, while the Johnny Silverhand statue is up for $39.99. All three figures are expected to ship on March 1, 2020 - just over a month before Cyberpunk 2077’s release date of April 16, 2020.
Despite the extreme hype for the game, fans may want to temper their excitement to avoid being disappointed. Cyberpunk 2077’s main quest is reportedly shorter than The Witcher 3’s, and the game’s map will be smaller than the map in The Witcher 3, as well. Still, Night City’s verticality may mean it’s bigger than it seems, and it’s doubtful that CD Projekt Red would ship the game without plenty for players to do, either way.
