With his cheery disposition in the dismal world of Dark Souls, Solaire of Astora is one of the franchise's most recognizable characters. Striking his iconic "praise the sun" pose, Solaire joins Artorias the Abysswalker and The Great Grey Wolf Sif as the newest collectible in First 4 Figures' Dark Souls line.

The figure will be available as one of four different editions, all of which are slated to release in Q4 2017. A Regular Edition Solaire can be pre-ordered for $294.99. The Exclusive Edition of the figure, priced at $344.99, is available for pre-order until April 4 and includes a shield, diecast sword, interchangeable bases, and other accessories.

The Praise the Sun Edition of Solaire features the knight mid-summon, with LEDs in the figure and base that reflect the game's summon animation. Available for pre-order until March 24 for $369.99, this edition comes with a sword and sheath as well as a unique art print.  

A bundle of the Praise the Sun and Exclusive editions, the Jolly Cooperation Super Combo is also available for pre-order until March 24 for $639.99. 

Pre-orders for any of the editions can be made here. First 4 Figures has also released a making-of documentary for Solaire, which can be found here. For more Dark Souls, check out the latest gameplay from Dark Souls III's The Ringed City DLC.
