Resident Evil 4 is considered by many to be one of the most influential entries in the Resident Evil series for a multitude of reasons. Having been the game to take place outside of the Raccoon City area, as well as introducing players to the fixed, over-the-shoulder camera perspective, Resident Evil 4 left a lasting impact on a number of players. Now, Capcom is releasing an impressive statue of Resident Evil 4's playable protagonist.

Following the release of Resident Evil 4 VR, the game has revitalized its popularity in a multitude of ways. Despite having originally released back in 2005, Resident Evil 4 has managed to maintain its longevity and influence on the survival horror genre for over a decade. Although, many players have cited the continuation of Leon Kennedy's character arc as being one of the strongest aspects of Resident Evil 4.

Over on the official Resident Evil Twitter page, it was announced that in association with Darkside Collectibles, Capcom will be releasing a statue of RE4 protagonist Leon Kennedy that is a quarter of his in-game size and will cost a thousand dollars. There have been a number of statues and figurines themed after Resident Evil characters and iconography released over the years, but this one is certainly impressive in terms of detail.

While some fans may think that the high price of this Leon statue may seem incredibly high, this isn't the first time that such an expensive statue themed after Resident Evil was sold. Earlier this year, a Resident Evil statue themed after a Licker was released that was a one-to-one bust of the in-game model and cost a hundred dollars less than the Leon Kennedy statue.

In any case, it's amazing to see just how long Resident Evil 4 has managed to persist in the hearts and minds of the people who played it. Even though the franchise has spanned across dozens of games, taking place within various different settings and a cacophony of different playable characters, many players still have a soft spot for Resident Evil 4. To the point where the most recent entry in the series, Resident Evil Village, was heavily influenced by Resident Evil 4.

It will be interesting to see if Capcom attempts to do anything else with Resident Evil 4. Many fans were expecting a remake of Resident Evil 4 on the same level as the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3. For many players, the VR edition of Resident Evil 4 is a welcome surprise, but a number of players still anticipate an official remake of the game at some point in the future.

Resident Evil 4 is available now for GameCube, PC, PS2, PS3, PS4, PC, Switch, Wii, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices.
