Wētā Workshop teases an Abaddon the Despoiler Statue

Posted on by

In September 2023, Games Workshop announced a partnership with Wētā Workshop to produce 1:6 scale premium statues.

So far, the collaboration has resulted in one release, a statue of Lieutenant Titus which retails for $1,199 and was revealed in November 2023. Now, it looks like we’re getting a second release, Abbadon the Despoiler!

While only a shoulder has been shown, this promises to be a hell of a release that’ll be a centerpiece for any collector and a massive dent in one’s wallet.
