Skyrim Collector's Edition Unboxing

2011-11-11
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy just got back from the midnight launch of Skyrim this is the collector's edition and as you can probably tell it's taking up almost my entire unbox therapy table here this is by far the largest collector's edition of any game that I've ever unboxed here on a channel if you want to check out some of my other game unboxings definitely visit the channel to do so but this box here is big and it's big for a reason that's because there is a gigantic statue of a dragon inside that's definitely the showstopper of this particular collector's edition so you definitely want to stick around to the end of the video to get a close-up look of that baby the first two items that greeted us here we're the art book of full-sized art book the game and of course this box within a box that's where that showstopper statue is going to live let's go ahead and slice into this baby so we can get a better look at it now from what I understand this thing is bigger than any of the other collectors edition figures that I've recently unboxed as it should be considering the size of this box but I'll be amazed to see how it stacks up especially against the Gears of War three statue because that one was huge in and of itself so there's a little bit of paperwork here telling you how to set it up but you really don't need that and you've even got the Skyrim logo embossed right on the styrofoam here in case you didn't know and here it is that's the the dragon portion and there's actually a stand portion that was the reason for the assembly picture you just gotta place the dragon up upon the stand and well the one thing I noticed was that the dragon itself is significantly heavier and more substantial than the stand but I suppose that's to be expected the details on this thing are unbelievable I mean that there's a lot of attention to detail here this is by far the most elaborate statue that I've ever unboxed as part of a game a collector's edition of any game for that matter from the paint job to the design I mean it's it's pretty impressive so if you're going to pick one of these up I'm sure you'll be impressed if you're into that kind of thing here's how it perches up on that stand and you can place that basically wherever you keep your memorabilia if it's in your games room or if it's in your bedroom I don't know where you keep this stuff that's really up to you so let's go ahead and get a closer look at the item as I mentioned before the paintwork is crazy the details are crazy he's got sharp teeth actually the whole thing is pretty sharp you wouldn't want to hand this to your small children no now the base also has some details on it some fake-looking engravings as well as some three-dimensional aspects the next item in the unboxing is the art book now this art book actually looks more like a strategy guide based on size but it is an art book you've got a nice three-dimensional logo on the front it's got a leather like finish to it and as you guys know most collector's editions include art books that are about half the size of this one half the size in height and width but a lot less thick as well so you're definitely going to get a nice appreciation for the amount of artwork that went into the game and as you guys know I like these books because they help you to appreciate that the amount of work I mean is absolutely crazy the amount of imagination that goes into these games and the books help you to perceive some of that imagination from where it started so the last item in the box is kind of an important item it's the game of course and once again you've got that three-dimensional logo on the front which actually is protruding a bit so they've got that nice cohesive feel between the different items within this collector's edition and it's looking like it's got two disks inside because it is a little bit fatter than your regular games case it's no steelbook though I do like those steelbook cases and so the first thing you're going to notice is that it is two discs you've got the game disc on the bottom of course and above that you've got your bonus disc which is going to include the making of the game so once again something to add some appreciation to just how much work goes into the production of these games that we enjoy so much so there's a little bit more paperwork in here some paperwork for the upcoming preto we've also got the user manual which is actually a fairly legitimate user manual actually got a fair number of pages in there if you do like to read those things and the last little surprise is this map here we've got the I believe it's the province of Skyrim is that what they call it at the bottom yeah I believe it's called that and it's made out of this cool kind of papyrus like feeling paper although I'm sure it's plastic but cool nonetheless definitely quite impressive so I decided to put up the dragon statue against some of the other ones I've recently unboxed from collector's editions and as I mentioned really the only clothes comparable one is the Gears of War three statue from a size comparison this thing is big so anyway
