Fans Criticize God of War Laufey Collector's Edition Statue
God of War Laufey's $150 collector's box does not include the game and comes with an artbook, a 51-card oracle deck, and a statue. Fans have criticized the statue's quality and its resemblance to Faye, the character played by Deborah Ann Woll. The game is set to launch exclusively on PS5 on February 16, 2027.
The Laufey collector’s box costs $150 and omits the game itself. Alongside a statue, buyers would receive an artbook and a 51-card oracle deck. The statue depicts Faye fighting a pair of afterlife enemies, but fans say its face lacks a convincing likeness to Deborah Ann Woll’s character.
Some observers compared the situation to the Metal Gear Solid Delta collector’s edition, where promotional images reportedly hid a disappointing Snake statue by showing him looking downward. With Laufey, detailed images are available before purchase, though official store photos appear to have been taken from a distance. It remains possible, but unconfirmed, that the final statue will look better in person.
The backlash may affect collectors deciding whether $150 is worthwhile, especially those who value character likeness and statue quality. It could also shape how PlayStation and Santa Monica Studio present future collector’s editions, encouraging clearer close-up images or better final products. More broadly, fan criticism on social media may influence preorder interest and brand trust, though the game’s February 2027 PS5 launch may remain largely unaffected.
