Sideshow Collectibles is sinking its teeth into Baldur’s Gate 3. The high-end collectibles company has just revealed a new limited-edition, hand-painted Astarion Statue, featuring the silver-tongued vampire spawn in all his undead glory.
Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little while to get your hands on him, as the 1:6 scale polystone statue is slated for release in the Summer of 2027. You can, however, pre-order one now directly from the Sideshow website.
So just what can fans expect from this high-end version of the Pale Elf? Below, we take a closer look at everything that’s included, darling.
What is Sideshow’s new D&D Astarion Statue?
The new statue is an officially licensed Baldur’s Gate 3 collectible depicting Astarion beckoning a victim forward while clutching a dagger behind his back. Constructed out of polystone (a type of high-quality resin) it measures 12.97″ tall x 7.12″ wide x 7.12″ deep
It was sculpted by Gabriel Rodriguez Rocha Martins, painted by Mike Pflaumer and Chie Izuma, and designed by Rachel Roubicek alongside the Sideshow Design and Development Team.
Notably, Astarion stands on a base inspired by the ornate floor of Cazador Szarr’s ritual dungeon, which fans will recognize from the climax of his companion quest.
How much is Sideshow’s new Astarion statue?
The Astarion Statue retails for $315 USD, not including shipping and taxes. Sideshow also offers its Flex Pay payment plans if you don’t want to pay it all up front. Note that shipping can be expensive, so bear that in mind if you do decide to pick one of these bad boys up.
The price, however, puts it on par with other recent D&D statues such as Iron Studios’ Tarrasque statue, which retails for $399.99 USD and is similar in size and quality.
When is the Astarion statue coming out?
The statue is expected to ship between June and September 2027. Sideshow notes that arrival dates are estimates only, however, and that orders may ship as late as December 2027.
Who is Astarion?
Astarion Ancunín is a high-elf rogue and vampire spawn from the Baldur’s Gate 3 video game. For two centuries he served the sadistic vampire lord Cazador Szarr, until he was abducted by mind flayers and infected with an illithid tadpole. Ironically, that affliction also let him ignore some classic vampire limitations, such as sunlight, running water and crossing thresholds uninvited. Since the release of BG3, Astarion has quickly become a fan favorite companion, thanks in no small part to the performance of voice actor Neil Newbon, who also revived the character in an actual play session at Magic Con Chicago in 2025.
Outside of the Baldur’s Gate 3 video game, Astarion has also appeared in a variety of other tie-in products, including the Astarion’s Book of Hungers D&D 5.5E supplement, a vinyl figure from Nendoroid, a recently released prequel novel by author T. Kingfisher and an upcoming comic book series from Dark Horse.
Final Thoughts
This new statue isn’t the only Sideshow product to feature Astarion. In fact, he’s also appearing in two companion art prints: Astarion: The Pale Elf and Baldur’s Gate III: The Elfsong Tavern.
If you’ve got the gold handy, you can pre-order the Astarion statue now from Sideshow. Below is also a video from the Sideshow Collectibles YouTube channel showing more of the new figure.
