PureArts has a 3-foot Nemesis bust if you want something gross to put your hats on

I don’t know how to tell you this, but PureArts and Capcom have announced a three-foot tall bust of Nemesis from the Resident Evil 3 remake. You can pre-order it today. It’s only being produced in limited quantities, but, uh, I’m not sure what the market is like on this sort of thing.

Maybe you don’t have my problem. I have too much video game paraphernalia. When I was younger, video game-related merch wasn’t nearly as common, but now it’s everywhere for everything. So, I don’t really know where I’d put something like this. Even if I did, it’s a very unique statement piece. Nemesis is grotesque. Just this big melty-dude staring at me from the corner while I’m drinking tea or something.

He’d maybe be good in the entryway. I could put my hats and scarves on him. Maybe him a little hug when I come home. Scare the couriers who make deliveries at my apartment. However, I wouldn’t spend $1899 for something like that. I’m not saying it’s not worth it. That’s an awful lot of resin. I just don’t think that much resin fits in with my budget.

It says how much it costs and that it’s 1/1 scale, but not how much it weighs. Is it hollow. The press release does note that it would pair well with the Lady Dimitrescu 1/4 Scale Statue. I don’t agree with that. Maybe if it was a 1/1 bust of Lady Dimitrescu, but I feel like a full statue would make poor Nemesis feel a bit jealous. When decorating, I feel a room must be dedicated to full figures or busts, but never mix both.

Anyway, if you’re interested in this massive chunk-a-hunk, pre-orders are open today. It’s available worldwide, but I can’t imagine the shipping costs for something like that. The final product ships Q1 2026.
