Resident Evil 4 remake fans can now join the waitlist for a new Prime 1 Studio diorama, but this officially licensed collectible is aimed at dedicated collectors rather than most players. Priced at $1,699, the 1/4-scale statue recreates Leon S. Kennedy confronting a Chainsaw Villager and a Ganado. Prime 1 Studio expects to ship it between September and December 2026, while a less expensive version featuring Leon alone is also planned.
What is included in the $1,699 Resident Evil 4 statue?
The diorama places Leon in a tense encounter inspired by the remake’s opening chapter. He wears his recognizable leather jacket and is shown facing two hostile villagers. The scene is built from polystone and measures approximately 30 inches high, 27.5 inches wide, and 20.4 inches deep. At around 57 pounds, it will require considerable display space and a sturdy location.
Prime 1 Studio is offering Standard and Bonus editions. The Standard version includes two interchangeable Leon heads, with different mouth positions, plus swappable hands holding the SG-09 R handgun or Combat Knife. The Bonus Edition adds the Fighting Knife, which Leon obtains after defeating Jack Krauser.
Which Resident Evil 4 details should collectors look for?
The main confrontation is only part of the display. The base includes several references to the remake and its wider world, including a First Aid Spray, a Blue Medallion, a shotgun, and a handgun ammunition box. The design also features a Merchant request and a chicken associated with the game. The Los Iluminados emblem appears on the back, giving collectors another detail to discover after the statue is installed.
The piece follows several official additions to the remake since its 2023 launch, including the $9.99 Separate Ways expansion and the free update that introduced The Mercenaries. Its appeal is tied to the remake’s close attention to the original game’s mechanics and its familiar presentation of Leon.
Should Resident Evil 4 fans wait for the cheaper edition?
Prime 1 Studio has also announced plans for a $1,000 edition that removes the Chainsaw Villager and Ganado, leaving Leon as the sole figure on the stand. That option lowers the price, but the company has not provided a shipping window for it in the available information.
The $1,699 version is currently accepting waitlist registrations and is expected to ship worldwide, including to customers in the United States and Europe. Since the listed price applies to a large, heavy collectible rather than a new game release, fans mainly interested in playing Resident Evil 4 should not treat this as a required purchase or a new gameplay edition.

Expert View
The diorama is a detailed celebration of the remake’s visual identity, and its weapons, enemies, and environmental references give it more substance than a simple Leon statue. However, the $1,699 price, substantial footprint, and 2026 delivery window make it a specialist collectible. Fans who want the complete ambush scene may find the premium edition compelling, while others should wait for the planned $1,000 Leon-only version or skip it entirely.
