Hi Peeps, so this review will look in brief details at what comes packed within this collectors edition.

Packaging - the main box it comes in? As soon as I saw it I just became so excited!! High quality - bigger than expected. Inside, again everything is nicely packaged, especially for the statue.



Steel Book - I am sure the original Dark Souls had something like this - again, good quality.



Iron-On Patches - nothing amazing - not sure I would actually use them tbh



Art Book - seriously? Whoa! its huge! extremely high quality hard back covers, each page has a glossy feel and the image quality is great (I have only looked through the initial section as it covers the entire trilogy and I haven't finished DS2 yet!!)



The statue - wayyy bigger than I expected! I thought I would be able to put it on my desk at work but that's definitely not happening! If anyone is wondering about the knight armour - it is NOT metallic - the whole thing is plastic, but again the quality is impressive. The base is a tad disappointing in that it is a hollow plastic. Given the weight of the character I don't imagine it will topple over. The swords I was a little disappointed with - rubber. I actually thought I broke the base of the hilt as I was inserting it into one of the hands (yes I was utterly gutted), but now realise it comes off so as to easily insert the sword hilt through the hand holes (phew!! LOL). I am just looking at it now - and it does look impressive, but you will need a bit of space as it is rather big (I don't know why i thought it would be a tad on the small side!)



Overall - the cost!!! £100.00 pounds is a LOT of money (that's how much it was when I pre-ordered it). Truth is, it was my birthday at the time, and I received £50.00 worth of amazon vouchers, which is the reason the price was a lot more palatable for me. This being the last game in the series, it's an honour to write this review!......Now to play it ( I won't review the game itself - plenty of excellent reviews already, but bottom line - better than DS2, slightly lower than DS1 due to familiarity, and apparently it has a hint of Bloodborne too - sounds perfect to me!!).



I would love to receive comments on my review - I would consider writing lots, but only if they are useful.
