Ubicollectibles are a collection of premium, limited-edition merchandise for fans of Ubisoft’s popular franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Might & Magic, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and more. And you can buy them on Ubishop.com (different from ubiworkshop) if you live in the following European countries: France, Germany, UK, Austria, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
First releases? The Archangel Michael from Might & Magic Heroes VI:
And the hand-crafted “Ezio’s Fury” statuette (There are 2,000 of them):
More details here: http://shop.ubi.com/ubicollectibles and kudos to our European friends!

can this be extended to the United States? i really would like that statue of Ezio :D
RaeAnne Fox said on June 30, 2011
Finally a European exclusive :p so buying this!
annonymous said on June 30, 2011
Everything at Ubisoft is a European exclusive.
Chrislewis said on July 1, 2011
Well everything in our store is available worlwide.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze said on July 1, 2011
UBI does Euro exclusives a lot.
Ilse Montald said on June 30, 2011
The statuettes look awesome!
But for now I’m satisfied with my Ezio that came with the ACII white edition :razz:
Charles Raziel said on July 1, 2011
Agreed… The one I got with the Master Assassin edition is good enough for me. I also have one of The Ezio Master Assassin player select figures. this is a bit redundant.
Carlos Cortes Lopez said on June 30, 2011
can this be extended to Latin America (Chile)?
Alex said on June 30, 2011
always with european special exclusives! better collector’s editions, now this! ahhhh.
Marlies Keijzer said on September 13, 2011
To each their own I guess, I really liked the Jack-in-the-box special edition which was scarcely available in Europe.
I’m sure it’ll be on ebay soon enough, though more expensive. I’d offer to be the inbetween person and send it to you, but it’s a lot of money we’re talking about, and so many things can go wrong. But I’m sure there are ways!
Ian Collins said on June 30, 2011
Its hard to not go off on a rage comment when all you guys are doing is selling to Europe. I mean sure, America gets the game, but are we not good enough for any collector items? We dont get the Animus edition, no collectibles, what next? Come on Ubi, we are dedicated fans, what do we have to do to prove we deserve a little something our way? I know I would buy a lot of this stuff, and i know a lot of people that would also. Which also i dont get, it would be a profit if you sold to America also… What could possible be a downfall? I think some of you need to think about your strategy on selling your collectors products.
Chrislewis said on June 30, 2011
Just to clarify. We sell worldwide. This is NOT a Ubiworkshop initiative.
Ian Collins said on June 30, 2011
I am sorry, very mistaken and didnt read that it was on Ubishop, but i hope something will be talked about inside of Ubisoft about collectors items. Sorry for the comment again. It is most definetly my bad
Chrislewis said on June 30, 2011
No worries, just wanted to make it clear
Ian Collins said on June 30, 2011
Ok thanks
Ezio Auditore da Firenze said on July 1, 2011
Is UBIWorkshop not run by UBIsoft? You’re speaking as if UBIsoft has no part in UBIWorkshop… I know these items aren’t part of this store, but UBI does run both sites, yes?
Chrislewis said on July 2, 2011
The CIA and the FBI are run by the US government, but their missions are different
Scott Smith said on July 2, 2011
Yes the CIA and the FBI are two different entities in which have different agendas, but at the end of the day they report to one single entity, Capitol Hill. So gaming companies should think of gamers as Capitol Hill.
Gonçalo Marques said on June 30, 2011
So i guess Portugal is not an European country. I’m really sad about that!
Sam Patrick said on June 30, 2011
WAIT!!! US can’t order it D:
Andreas said on June 30, 2011
It is expensive! even more the one of those luxuary courtesans.
Chrislewis said on June 30, 2011
Haha!
Bas said on June 30, 2011
I can’t enter that site, they don’t know my language preferences, so I keep pressing Netherlands but the site just opens and opens over again.
BTW: the statue of Ezio looks really nice :D
Archibald Sturt said on June 30, 2011
Expensive much… :L But I can see why with all that beautiful detail, a well crafted item there of Ezio
Gonçalo Marques said on June 30, 2011
Where can i see the statue? I can’t see them on that link. Can someone tell me why, please?
leeuwen12 said on June 30, 2011
nice….but wow i don’t have that kind of money!…
Matt Williams said on July 1, 2011
I really need to move to Europe. They get all the good stuff. The Codex. The Encyclopedia. Now all of those collectibles. Bring stuff to the US
Scott Smith said on July 1, 2011
Ubisoft just keeps pouring on the hatred towards the US and Canada. First with ACII Black Edition, secondly AC: Brotherhood Codex Edition, then with AC: Revelations Animus and Collector’s Editions and now this! When are you ever going to start treating every region equally?
Ian Collins said on July 2, 2011
Check my previous comment though, chrislewis nicely replied saying that ubiworkshop sells worldwide unlike ubishop. They are all a part of Ubisoft but still. Just a heads up
Scott Smith said on July 3, 2011
I realize this, but they are owned and operated by Ubisoft and if they’re not going to offer these collectible to everyone around the world, then don’t advertise these things on the ubiworkshop website. It’s like Ubisoft is saying, “Hey! look at these collectibles, too bad we’re only offering them on ubishop to Europeans. So screw everyone else!” The same with Special Editions of their video games, they dangle them in front of our faces teasing us with them because we either live in the United States or Canada and can’t get them.
Charles Raziel said on July 3, 2011
I noticed on Gamestops website on the Assassin’s Creed Revelations Xbox 360 page. People are venting their frustration concerning the discrepancies between the signature edition which Ubisoft is offering us. and the animus edition which is a “European exclusive”. People are discussing that this is the third time they have done this to the people in North America. So you are not alone in your observation. Heck Ray Charles can see it. :lol:
Ian Collins said on July 3, 2011
Yea i get it, i was just saying on this post or whatever, its about the Ubicollectables that are sold on Ubishop. I know how you feel though, i mean i live in America and im pretty pissed that we cant get anything good from Ubisoft. Im right there with ya
Chrislewis said on July 4, 2011
Hum. So we shouldn’t write about other creations for the same reason? Let’s stop talking about fan-made hoodies because they are not sold around the world. NOT.
Ian Collins said on July 4, 2011
I am confused? When i posted anything “good” i meant the collectors editions. I really do hope you understand this out of anybody, i mean we are getting the “signature” edition, without an Encyclopedia and what not. Can you see why we are getting frustrated with Ubi?
Scott Smith said on July 4, 2011
We’re not talking fan made creations here, we’re talking about things created by a company. Now if these statuettes were fan created, then us fans of Assassin’s Creed outside of Europe wouldn’t be upset or frustrated. Both Canadians and Americans are getting frustrated at Ubisoft like erudito said because we’re continually getting left out in the cold by Ubisoft when it comes to things like the Black, Codex and Animus Editions. Moreover I’m upset at Ubisoft from a shareholders perspective as well. I’m tired of seeing bad business decisions that lead to the price of my stock going down.
Chrislewis said on July 4, 2011
And I understand you can feel upset about this. We’ll see what we can do (and I’m speaking about the statuette, not the ubisoft stock ;)).
Scott Smith said on July 4, 2011
Thanks Chris, that’s all of has ever wanted, was just a fair chance to be able to get something that the Europeans get. I don’t know about anyone else, but I like choices not being told that I have to either take it or leave it, because you know what? I’m going to leave it. Since the Revelations Signature Edition is a take it or leave it product, so myself and countless others have taken the leave it route. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the ACII: Master Assassin Edition, but at the same time I felt that it was hastily thrown together for N. America because the White Edition wasn’t selling well and didn’t want it laying around in warehouses. Then Ubi should’ve picked a better name for it since the Ezio statuette wasn’t the Master Assassin Ezio. As far as the stock is concerned, I’m a small time fish when it comes to that. I’m no millionaire who has a large voice, but a modest guy who likes to buy a few hundred dollars worth of stocks video game Publisher’s such as; Ubisoft, EA, Epic Games, MS, and Bethesda to name a few. I’m sorry that I went on a rant like this, but it finally came the time that I had to vent and voice my frustrations because myself and other N. Americans not getting the same treatment by Ubisoft as the Europeans are. At the same time, we realize that they are an European company, but still we’d like to have a chance to get the same Collector’s Editions of their video games and the same products they offer on ubishop.com.
Charles Raziel said on July 9, 2011
Well here is a Desmond hoodie made by a girl in New York, that is pretty righteous. materials as well. maybe it deserves some ink. Heck I would buy it. XD

Scott Smith said on July 12, 2011
That is a nice hoodie, they should make more and begin a business.
Natalia said on July 1, 2011
I despise how it keeps redirecting me to the French Canadian website.
So, what’s the price of those babies? By the sound of those comments, it seems it doesn’t matter that I’m not European: I couldn’t afford that Ezio even I was.
Will Canada (ok, and them other countries on the long continent) ever get awesome exclusive exclusives?
We’re like children man! Give a unique gift to our brothers and sisters and we’ll complain you until we get something equally unique.
I guess Ezio doesn’t want to take the journey to the West. Come on, man! We have maple syrup.
Jerociraptor said on July 4, 2011
I hear you, but we’re not really into offering something for one territory exclusively.
All exclusives on UbiWorkshop will always be worldwide exclusive… uuuhhh… Available exclusively on planet earth? :razz:
Natalia said on July 4, 2011
Exclusively on Earth, uh? I guess moving to Jotunheim is out of the question then. :cool:
Jerociraptor said on July 4, 2011
Shipping to Jotunheim would definitely be a problem. We would need to add supersized t-shirt to the store for Giants!
Natalia said on July 5, 2011
Well, they could wear those on their fingers and create a puppet show opera.
I want that done, I want that done now!
I’ll walk away now, puppet opera’s starting in my head and Altair’s singing about haystacks.
T. G said on July 8, 2011
Sorry, but.. I like how people are saying Ubiworkshop delivers world wide, but then up at the top it specifically says:
Ubicollectibles are a collection of premium, limited-edition merchandise for fans of Ubisoft’s popular franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Might & Magic, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and more. And you can buy them on Ubishop.com (different from ubiworkshop) if you live in the following European countries: France, Germany, UK, Austria, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Jerociraptor said on July 11, 2011
UbiWorkshop does offer worldwide shipping. Our friends at Ubicollectibles, who are putting selling the figurines, deliver to the listed countries.

£265

£265
what, the last statue was £25!
Bas said on July 1, 2011
I live in Europe, so I’ve nothing to complain about, but it’s not fair for all of the Assassin’s Creed fans living in the rest of the world.
We always get the special editions and goodies, why do they don’t deserve ‘em?
Is it about shipping? about money? We’d like to know.
P.S You’re still awesome, I don’t want to be mean :D
Ian Collins said on July 2, 2011
I appreciate that… Lol we all love Assassin’s Creed the same so why cant we love it all with the Special Editions?
Josh Comeau said on July 2, 2011
Need some US love! A Brotherhood Ezio statue would look wonderful on the other side of my TV from the AC2 statue…
Eduardo Alejandro Guzman Lau Len said on July 4, 2011
Love to US?? You can ship things from UK and Europe easier than Latin America, you don’t have nothing to complain in comparison with us.
By the way, UBISoft has the worst idea at marketing…really, selling specials editions to the tinniest continent of the world allow people to get huge profits for the re-sales (or their employees are running an ebay bussiness so they can get more money?) and after paying like 200% of the original price, the game have bugs (I’m talking about Codex Edition).
Is it possible that anyone from Europe can send me the Animus Edition?
T. G said on July 8, 2011
I’d like this too. Unfortunatly, I don’t have any online or offline friends in Europe. e_e
Charles Raziel said on July 5, 2011
I believe they should offer the different versions to everyone. they could divide it by retailers, but we would have the “Option” or choice to buy whichever of the versions we wanted. I live in America. others who are voicing a concern live in Canada or the U.S. When I speak of equality I am talking about everyone… Including Latin America.
I appreciate the fact with the Signature edition, we get a few free dlc’s for the 59.99 cost. kind of similar to what Bioware did with Dragon Age II. the difference is… That was the only special edition Bioware offered to anyone. “equality”
Honestly when a game company makes these types of decisions, they must understand there is going to be some form of a backlash. and to some extent possibly alienation.
I usually buy the Assassin’s Creed limited edition. This year that option has been removed. So I will buy the LE for Batman Arkham City, which is made by Rocksteady Studios. another company based in Europe.The difference is they will be giving Everyone the same CE.
Concerning the Statue. I am not upset it is a European exclusive. My concern is that Ubisoft has far too many European exclusives.including their CE for their games and thereby exclude the rest of their fanbase…
“All’ of us provide the resources for them to continue to make games ect. Not just one region of the world. they should not lose sight of that. just my two cents.
Scott Smith said on July 5, 2011
Very well said shadow! I think that you’re right about offering other versions of Revelations or any other past or future version’s of Assassin’s Creed to other retailers in North America. With Revelations in Australia, you can either get the Animus Edition at GameStop or the Collector’s Edition at JB-HiFi. Granted they have a Best Buy version of Revelations, but it only comes with one multi-player character. If GameStop here in North America didn’t want to sell the Animus Edition here, then they should’ve offered to sell the Animus Edition at Amazon and the Collector’s Edition at Wal-Mart or vice versa. I like buying CE’s myself, true CE’s that come with some other stuff inside, not these so-called “Signature Editions” where you only get a couple of DLC items. I think that we have EA to blame for these “Signature Editions,” because ever since they began doing them, it looks like more and more Publishers and Developers are going to follow suit.
Charles Raziel said on July 6, 2011
In the final analysis.. it is, what it is. I have complained loudly the past two AC games that were released for North America to have a limited edition. and they gave us a limited edition. howbeit not as nice as the European version, but they still made an attempt and gave us a LE version.
To be honest I have kind of grown tired of asking them to do the right thing. when it should be their desire to do the right thing for “ALL” of their fans. We should not have to log on their sites to complain about this sort of thing every time they release a game. because it should not ever happen. If they are truly concerned about “all” their fans/ clients/ consumers/
I would not even mind so much about a European exclusive. if every so often there was a South American exclusive. or a North American Exclusive.
I remember on the Ubi site when they made the Carte Blanche topic asking for fan artwork. I am a pretty damned good artist. and have several Assassin’s Creed themed pieces. My favorite being an Assassin standing over an SS officer. But I refused to post the artwork, for fear that they would make the art book exclusive to a region. I noticed the Art book is for sale on this site. But it is also a part of the Animus version. which is not available for purchase in North America. It would have been rather ironic if I had submitted them, one had been chosen and I could not purchase the LE that featured it. :lol: I think I made the right decision.
jc said on July 7, 2011
i want that ezio :9
T. G said on July 8, 2011
“finally” an european exclusive? It’s ALWAYS European exclusives. When’s America going to get something worth the money? Cool shit always goes to Europe and Australia. :I
I WANT SOMETHING NO OTHER COUNTRY CAN BUY TOO DAMMIT.
this couldn’t be more unfair. e e; Give something to america. Preferably something affordable. I hat my HEART set on getting the collector’s edition this time, and the animus edition’s only for europe. That’s Bullshit.
Scott Smith said on July 12, 2011
Since we North Americans were given the boot by Ubisoft when it came to the Animus Edition and given the EA inspired Signature Edition of Revelations, when does the pre-ordering begin for the AC Encyclopedia and how much? It is funny though, with the Signature Edition and the AC Encyclopedia North Americans will probably end up paying just as much for both as those in Europe with the Animus Edition, but with less content and nice packaging.
Eric said on July 13, 2011
I might need to take a trip just to get that ezio statue
Balázs Pápai said on August 31, 2011
This Ezio statue is awesome
Shiranui said on September 12, 2011
Wow, another spectacular statue.
Marlies Keijzer said on September 13, 2011
Oh wow, I guess I feel like getting this off my chest after all:
I’m pretty sure Europe gets more exclusives, but it’s not like Europe ONLY gets exclusives. I’ve wanted exclusives only available for the USA.
*cough* Jack in the Box version, which was basically not available where I live and hardly anywhere in Europe *cough*
The statue is 300 Euros or 265 GBP. I’m pretty sure that whoever wanted to buy it for that kind of money, would spend the extra few euros/british pounds on Ebay to get it.
Don’t get me wrong, I know it sucks. I’ve been a big fan of… a japanese gaming company for a long time of my life, and only till recently have they handed out their exclusive-to-japan stuff to the rest of the world.
Outside Ubisoft (and few other European companies) usually we have to wait another 2-3 months more then the USA before we get to play a game.
I’m not complaining, nor saying ‘take it, or leave it’ but it’s just as it is. I’m sure Ubiworkshop have told your complaints to whomever they needed to tell them to, but if you REALLY want to have this, you might want to email the main office, instead of Ubiworkshop.
I know there are companies who keep mailboxes for you (my uncle had this for an USA address) who then sends it to you, and I’m sure these MUST exist in Europe as well. Maybe that’s a solution? Good luck anyway!
Alex M. Pappas said on September 17, 2011
Ah man, I wish I would’ve known about this sooner. Maybe it’s not to late.
Wolf said on September 17, 2011
Personally I prefer the figures on Sideshow Collectables’ website AND they’re available in the US.

wouldn’t mind paying extra to import one from europe, but i’ve been holding off on statues for three years now. maybe if i win the lottery… :cool:

Same here! And Altair!

But, I’ve gotta say I’m appalled by all the comments in this thread. All these assumptions that the statues are going to be exclusive to Europe. Anyone who has experience with other Ubisoft products and also buys statues from other companies should know that these will eventually arrive on other continents. The Attakus ACB and ACR Ezio statues were under the same circumstances but they also were made available outside of Europe in the short run…
I hope that the ones who were complaining in this thread about not being able to buy these statues in their country can now proudly declare themselves owners. If not… err…
