Ezio Leap of Faith Figurine Ubisoft

Game developer and publisher Ubisoft recently released a new set of "Assassin's Creed" collectibles. This release includes an Ezio Auditore Mentor Bust, two Altair busts, and a figurine called "Leap of Faith" of Ezio.

"Ubi Workshop, in partnership with Ubi Collectibles, presents its latest creation featuring Ezio Auditore -- now a Master Assassin -- as he appears in Assassin's Creed Revelations," the official description says of the Ezio Mentor Bust.

The new Ezio collectible shows him with his gray pilgrimage robe that contains a perfectly embroidered hood, matching leather-like ornaments and metallic parts. It also comes with his dark colored scarf around his neck, protection from the extreme weather.

The second collectible bust shows the legendary assassin, Altair Ibn-La'Ahad , dressed in the white traditional Assassin's robe. The Altair Bust also contains finely crafted and highly detailed throwing knives and pouches, while the back contains his famous blade.

A total of 500 pieces each is made available for the two busts that cost US$39.99 each.

The third new item in the Legacy Collection series is of the same design as the Altair Bust Enzio Auditore Bust, but it is a Bronze Edition. There are only 250 pieces of these bronze-colored collectibles and they cost US$49.99 each.

The three new "Assassin's Creed" busts measure 7.5 inches (H) x 5.5 inches (L) X 3 inches (D) and are made out of PVC. Cineclix added that the collectibles will start shipping on July 5 but can be pre-ordered on UbiShop.

The fourth collectible is a figurine and shows Ezio doing the famous "Leap of Faith" stunt, and is officially described as "Defying the laws of gravity, the figurine shows Ezio launching into a dive from the top of a church to perform the Assassins' emblematic Leap of Faith. An essential piece for all collectors, the form of the figurine is technical triumph, sure to make an impression when placed at a height."

This is the first time that the action was made into a collectible and comes complete with the masterfully created billowing effect on the assassin's clothing. To complete the scene, The "Leap of Faith" figurine also comes with a highly a detailed church window that serves as a background and stand. It is priced at US$59.99, and its dimension is placed at 15.25 inches (H) x 8 inches (L) X 15 inches (D). However, it is currently out of stock.
