Dark Horse Direct has a new Dune collectible in the works, one that painstakingly recreates a pivotal artifact from this iconic sci-fi universe.
IGN can exclusively reveal the first images and details for the Dune: Atreides Signet Ring Replica, a recreation of the family heirloom Oscar Isaac's Duke Leto passes on to Timothée Chalamet's Paul in the film. Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:
The ring plays a pivotal role in Denis Villenueve's adaptation, as it's worn by the figurehead of House Atreides and features the family's Red Hawk crest. Paul inherits the ring after their family is betrayed by House Harkonnen, making the ring one of the few remaining links to his old life after he and his mother join with the Fremen on Arrakis.
This replica is designed to be a 1:1 recreation of the film prop and was sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios. It's wearable (though it only comes in one size) and also comes with a display stand and hinged box.
The Dune: Atreides Signet Ring Replica is limited to 500 pieces and is priced at $149.99. It's currently available to preorder on the Dark Horse Direct website, with an estimated release window between December 2022 and March 2023.
In other Dune news, production is gearing up for the sequel, with Villeneuve and most of the first film's cast returning. Dune Part Two will also introduce several new characters, including Christopher Walken as the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, Black Widow's Florence Pugh as Shaddam's daughter, the Princess Irulan and Elvis star Austin Butler as the deadly Feyd-Rautha.
