Excitement for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 is steadily growing, with less than two months until the game's November 19 launch. To capitalize on that excitement, CD Projekt Red is pointing fans to a diverse range of Cyberpunk 2077 merchandise that's available now, or is soon to be released. One of the latest announcements is a figure of Cyberpunk 2077's notable pre-launch character, Johnny Silverhand, as portrayed by Keanu Reeves.
CD Projekt Red is partnering with Good Smile to offer a Pop Up Parade figure of Johnny Silverhand. The Pop Up Parade line of figures are articulated and about seven-and-a-half inches tall, made from ABS and PVC. There's a great amount of detail in the design, making Johnny Silverhand a high-end figure, but it is intended to be affordable compared to other non-articulated statues.
Pre-orders are currently open for the Johnny Silverhand Pop Up Parade figure. Those interested have until October 22 to get their orders through the Good Smile Shop, with pricing for the figure standing at JPY 3,900, which converts to just under $40. International shipping adds another JPY 2,000, so the price for Americans is just around $60. The figures are tentatively scheduled to be released in February 2021, and will also be made available at other toy and collectible stores.
Pop Up Parade does a range of affordable figures for video game characters include Journey's Traveler and Joker from Persona 5. Otherwise, the line is mostly for anime like One Punch Man, Hatsune Miku, My Hero Academia, Fairy Tail, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Johnny Silverhand looks to be a step up in quality compared to the other figures, though that's partly due to its more realistic style.
For those unfamiliar, Johnny Silverhand is a prominent figure in Cyberpunk 2077. They are a military veteran turned anti-corporate musician who gained notoriety as the lead singer of the band Samurai, heading the rockerboy movement in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Silverhand wants to tear down the Arasaka corporation due to an event involving his girlfriend. How the player gets involved with Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 isn't entirely clear, and it's left open whether he's trustworthy.
There's plenty more Cyberpunk 2077 merchandise available now. Silverhand alone has multiple figures including one from McFarlane Toys, two Funko Pop! figures, and an $850 1/4 scale statue from Pure Arts. Figures for other Cyberpunk 2077 characters including Takemura, Jackie Welles, and both male and female versions of protagonist V.
Cyberpunk 2077 releases November 19 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S support to follow.
