Myethos has opened pre-orders for a new 1/8-scale Skirk statue from Genshin Impact, turning one of the game’s more enigmatic five-star characters into a collector’s piece with a January 2027 release window. The figure costs 7480 Japanese yen, or 3514 rubles, and it leans hard into the character’s icy, aloof image instead of the usual fan-service pose-and-pray approach some game statues fall into.
Skirk’s FES 2026 outfit gets the spotlight
The sculptors based the statue on Skirk’s outfit from an animated trailer tied to FES 2026, giving the figure a more ceremonial look than the character’s in-game combat silhouette. The design uses translucent parts with glitter, a gradient finish, and a crackle-like paint effect to sell the ”cold edge” vibe that fits a character linked to the Abyss.
That attention to surface treatment matters because premium anime statues live or die by finish, not just pose. Myethos has been leaning into that lane for a while, and this release sits alongside a broader run of licensed figures aimed squarely at players who want shelf art with game-accurate branding, not just a fancy toy on a stand.
Materials, size and release timing
- Scale: 1/8
- Height: 22.3 cm
- Materials: PVC, ABS plastic and metal
- Price: 7480 Japanese yen, or 3514 rubles
- Expected release: January 2027
For collectors, the practical question is simple: is this another shelf-filler or one of those statues that actually earns its price tag? At this size and material mix, Myethos is clearly targeting the middle of the market, where the competition is crowded and the real differentiator is whether the paintwork and sculpt justify the premium. Skirk’s cool-toned palette and dramatic styling should help it stand out without needing a giant base or a loud gimmick.
Myethos keeps mining HoYoverse characters
The Skirk release also fits a familiar pattern: licensed figure makers keep returning to HoYoverse’s roster because the characters already have built-in recognition and a fandom that understands why a statue matters. Myethos has previously lined up figures from other games in the publisher’s orbit, which suggests this isn’t a one-off tribute but part of a steady merchandising machine built around evergreen characters and trailer-ready costumes.
The bigger question is how many of these high-end game statues the market can absorb before collectors start cherry-picking only the most distinctive designs. Skirk has enough mystique and visual contrast to make a strong case; the next test is whether Myethos can keep making figures this polished without every new pre-order feeling like more of the same.
