2016 has arrived, and with it we're that much closer to the release of Star Fox Zero, the first new Star Fox game since Star Fox Command launched on DS back in 2006. Although Star Fox Zero was delayed out of its original November 2015 launch window, its exciting aerial action and co-development by PlatinumGames has helped it remain one of the most anticipated titles coming to Wii U. It appears GameStop is looking to take advantage of the hype returning to the Star Fox franchise, as today it has opened pre-orders for a gorgeous, limited edition Fox McCloud statue.

Standing at 8" tall, the hand-painted statue boasts incredible detail, and appears to styled after Fox's new look in Star Fox Zero. Only 5000 will be produced, so anyone who wants to add the statue to their collection should get their pre-order in now.

GameStop's exclusive Star Fox statue will be available on February 9 for $79.99, while Star Fox Zero will launch on Wii U on April 22.
