The character already had a life before the figurine.
Dragon Warrior | Ming Dynasty Gunner began as Anastasia Kukosh's advanced term project at Think Tank Training Centre: a real-time game character grounded in Ming dynasty reference and original concept art credited to Ningbo Jiang.
Why collectors notice it
The character is not generic fantasy merchandise. It carries craft that artists recognize immediately: sculpting, textile and metal material work, high-resolution texture maps, ZBrush posing, and Marmoset presentation.
The physical figurine adds a rare second act. A real-time character built for screen presence became an object with scale, sculptural detail, silhouette, packaging, and collector presence.
What makes the First Edition special
The first release celebrates the full chain: concept reference, real-time character production, full-colour print proof, and collector packaging. The point is ownership of a physical piece of the artwork, not generic merchandise.
