It’s been a while since Bethesda Game Studios stormed home videogame consoles with the acclaimed Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and it’s certainly pouring it on thick where the anticipated arrival of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is concerned.

Clearly keen to drum up as much interest as possible ahead of the fantasy RPG’s scheduled November 11 launch, the AAA software developer has detailed a stunning special edition version of its upcoming game.

Set for availability exclusively through leading retailers GAME and Gamestation, the Skyrim Collector’s Edition will come equipped with a fearsome character statue, a generous book of concept art, and an informative Skyrim documentary DVD.

Alduin Statue: Created in conjunction with the IP factory, this collector’s only statue stands 12” tall and is made of high quality PVC. Modelled from actual in-game 3D digital files, it showcases Alduin, the World Eater. He stands perched atop one [of] the game’s many dragon walls that teach the player the lethal language of dragons.

The Art of Skyrim Official Art Book: Featuring over 200 pages of striking, full-colour illustrations, sketches and models, this stunning 9 3/8” x 12 1/8” coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments, and weaponry of Skyrim. With a foreword by game director Todd Howard and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists, readers will be guided through the game’s iconic visual style.

The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team as they take you from concept to creation and provide insights into the story, gameplay, setting, legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and much more.

The sexy Collector’s Edition of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be priced at $149.99 USD in the U.S., €149.99 Euro across mainland Europe, and 129.99 GBP in the United Kingdom.
