In Destiny, the Gjallarhorn will soon be available for everyone to purchase. It comes with several features but also has its price.
The biggest Destiny fans among you will need to clear more space in the living room soon, because in 2017, you will be able to purchase some action and collectible figures for the MMO shooter – including a Gjallarhorn in “almost life-size.”
Already in mid-February, we reported that McFarlane Toys will release a toy Titan, Warlock, and Hunter in summer 2017:
- The Titan features “Glass Chamber” armor with Gjallarhorn and a taunt.
- The Warlock has “Kingsfall” armor with Malicious Touch and Black Spindle.
- The Hunter wears “Iron Banner” gear with the Ace of Spades and Thorn.
The figures are about 18cm tall and cost $20 each. In an interview with Polygon, Chris Council, the brand manager of McFarlane Toys, stated that the company closely collaborates with Bungie and pays attention to many details. Many of the toy designers are huge Destiny fans.
However, these three figures are not the only toys that McFarlane will be releasing in 2017.
Lord Saladin towers over the Guardians
Additionally, a figure that is 25cm tall is being produced, thereby surpassing the other action figures by a few centimeters: Lord Saladin, who is equipped with his axe. This Iron Lord will cost $34.99 and is expected to be on shelves by the end of 2017.
All four figures are male, by the way. Council mentions that female action figures unfortunately tend to sell worse than the male ones. Exceptions would be characters like Harley Quinn.
However, it is emphasized that this is only the first wave of Destiny figures. McFarlane Toys would love to work on a female Guardian in the future.
Gjallarhorn and Gjallarwing as toys
Furthermore, McFarlane Toys is working on two Destiny toys that are not action figures. For $34.99, a Gjallarwing Sparrow will be available, which is compatible with the Guardians (18cm). You can place the figures on the Sparrow.
Additionally, there is this:
If it’s not clear from the picture: This is an Iron Gjallarhorn in “almost life-size.” It is a prototype made by McFarlane for a hefty $10,000.
The retail version will look similar, but the company is still working on the materials and details. In retail, the Gjallarhorn will be sold in three parts. The final product is expected to cost $150 and be light enough for cosplay use.
On top of that, the rocket launcher can produce four different sounds, including the explosions of the main projectile and the tracking projectiles.
Gjallarhorn and Gjallarwing will be available for purchase by the end of 2017.
According to the US site Polygon, McFarlane has applied for a special permit from US authorities to be able to forgo the “orange ring” around the muzzle of the Gjallarhorn. This “orange cap” is a requirement for toy guns in the USA to prevent them from being mistaken for “real guns.” There is likely no such confusion with the Gjallarhorn – it remains to be seen whether this permit will be granted.
Is this the right “toy” for you?
The Gjallarhorn was the defining weapon from Year 1. Here, we present the most important weapons from the first year of Destiny.
