There is a new video up on the Platinum Games YouTube account with Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya joined by the designer and modeler of the replica Scarborough Fair pistols, Muneyuki Kotegawa, for a review.
The video shows off all four of the Bayonetta Scarborough Fair pistols: Thyme, Parsley, Sage, and Rosemary. While the pictures First 4 Figures has up give a perfect idea of the beauty and detail, the video gives an actual understanding of the incredible size of the pistols.
You can find the video here or below:
For those interested in owning any (or all) of the Bayonetta Scarborough Fair replicas, the pre-orders are open now on First 4 Figures.
Each pistol is available in a standard edition ($439.99) and an exclusive edition ($459.99).
For example with the Thyme replica:
Bayonetta – Thyme Prop Replica (Standard Edition) comes with the following:
- Bayonetta – Thyme Prop Replica resin painted statue
- Highly detailed base inspired by the Bayonetta art style
- Limited edition numbering
- Authentication card
As for the exclusive edition:
- Bayonetta – Thyme Prop Replica resin painted statue
- Highly detailed base inspired by the Bayonetta art style
- Two (2) LED functions for the colored jewels
- Limited edition numbering
- Authentication card
For those who can’t choose just one of the replicas, there is an “exclusive combo edition” that includes all of the exclusive editions of the individual pistols in one package for $1,699.99.
There isn’t a firm release date, the listings for the replicas only offer “Q3 2022,” meaning somewhere from the beginning of July to the end of September. While it’s vague, looking at the video offers plenty of reasons why owning any of these replicas (especially for the bigger Bayonetta fans) is worth the wait.
As for where things stand with the actual video games, Bayonetta 3 got a gameplay trailer back in September with a 2022 release window. Considering Bayonetta 3 was first announced at The Game Awards in 2017, fans have had a decent wait.
