First 4 Figures has announce that they have been awarded a license from Microsoft and Tecmo/Team Ninja to create high end 1/4 scale statues based on the characters from the Ninja Gaiden II video game exclusive to Xbox 360. The first statue release is the video game’s super Ninja warrior, Ryu Hayabusa.

Ryu Hayabusa, in his default NGII black costume, is based on the official Ninja Gaiden II box artwork and in-game 3D model. The base is covered in artificial grass and features Ryu walking through a graveyard of swords from fallen warriors. He comes equipped with his signature Dragon Sword, Eclipse Scythe, and a Falcon’s Talon.

At 1/4 scale, Ryu stands at 18 inches tall and when you include his Eclipse Scythe, he stands at 31 inches tall and will zing your wallet for a hefty price of $350. The statue will start to be available early next year.
