This Matrix Neo Statue Is A Thing Of Beauty

It was back in March 1999 that the world was introduced to The Matrix franchise for the first time thanks to the genius of Lana and Lilly Wachowski. Starring Keanu Reeves as our protagonist in a dystopian future, the story follows computer hacker, Neo, who is recruited by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), in order to rebel against the machines in a world where humanity is trapped inside a simulated reality known as The Matrix.

Meeting both commercial success and critical acclaim, The Matrix is still praised to this day, and whilst the movie was followed by two sequels courtesy of the Wachowski sisters: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, it is hard to beat the first. Since then, The Matrix has also welcomed further spin-offs, such as comic books, video games, and even an animated anthology movie titled The Animatrix.

It may have been almost 30 years since the release of The Matrix, but with its popularity far from dwindling, it is no wonder that this latest release has captured the eyes of many fans, potentially making the perfect addition to many shelves across the globe.

Courtesy of Sideshow, the Neo 1:10 Scale Statue is now available for pre-order as created by Iron Studios. Coming in at £173.34, it is quite the investment but still an excellent price for a statue as detailed as this. Showcasing a young Keanu Reeves as Neo, the statue will begin shipping this August through to September, and it is not a collectible you will want to miss out on.

“Sideshow and Iron Studios are proud to announce the latest from the Battle Diorama Series Art Scale line – the Neo 1:10 Scale Statue!” The item description reads. From The Matrix, this 1:10 scale statue is limited edition, highly detailed, and hand-painted.”

Featuring the moment in the first movie where Neo fully utilizes The Matrix in order to dodge bullets, there is no better scene to memorialize, especially with Neo himself firing back with two pistols of his own. As a limited edition statue, the Neo 1:10 Scale Statue will not be available forever, so make sure to place your pre-order now if you do not want to lose your chance.

Few movies have captured the magic of The Matrix over the years, with the movie showcasing a dystopian future that feels all too real three decades later. So, if you are a fan of Reeves’ bumbling Neo and want this iconic moment showcased in your home, make sure to check out Sideshow’s Neo 1:10 Scale Statue.
