Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan, two of the adventuring party of Vox Machina, are coming to life in a nearly eight-inch tall statue—well, the top half of them, anyway.

This polyresin bust was sculpted by Tommy Hodges and painted by J.W. Productions.
Standing at approximately 7.5 inches tall, this is the first bust of the Critical Role characters from Dark Horse Direct.

Are we sure of how the anatomy works here? No. But it does look very cool, and that’s what matters.
“The partnership between Dark Horse and Critical Role has been going strong for more than five years now, and we are so proud of what our teams have accomplished together so far, with exciting projects ongoing now, and more yet to come,” said Cara O’Neil, Vice President of Marketing for Dark Horse Comics.
It’s Trinket! Vex’s trusty bear companion.
The painted details here are really well done—not to mention the little side swoosh!
Honestly, that resin looks great.
