GTA 6 Fan 3D Prints Statue Mocking 400 Dollar Edition

Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. As anticipation builds for the first title in the franchise in thirteen years, since 2013’s Grand Theft Auto 5, pricing and packaging decisions by Rockstar have sparked community backlash. Fans online have criticized a $400 collector’s edition that includes merchandise based on a fictional in-game TV show but omits the base game itself, alongside the lack of a physical disc option at launch.

Fan-Made 3D Printed Statue Mocks $400 Collector’s Edition

A community member named Jouhna117 published a 3D printable model on Cults3D on September 24 for under $2, replicating the alligator statue included in the official $400 collector’s edition. The fan-made version features a modified base inscribed with the message: “US$ 400 e sem disco? Vai se f***, Rockstar,” translating to criticism over the steep price tag and the exclusion of a game disc. In the item description, Jouhna117 wrote directly to the developer, stating, “Rockstar, if you’re reading this, like, $400 and no disc, come on, man.” The creator recommended resin printing for the 16cm-tall model.

Community Frustration Over Content and Physical Discs

The official $400 collector’s edition bundles items themed around a fictional television program within the game universe rather than highlighting protagonists Jason and Lucia or the broader setting of Vice City. This choice disappointed fans who expected direct nods to the modern Bonnie and Clyde dynamic or the Florida-inspired open-world setting. The absence of a physical disc in the bundle and the lack of a PC version announcement have intensified consumer complaints across digital forums.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Setting and Platform Details

Developed by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto 6 returns players to Vice City, a fictionalized version of Miami that featured in the first GTA and later in the 2002 release Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The narrative follows Lucia and Jason, two criminal partners navigating the Florida-inspired underworld. The title launches on November 19, 2026, for current-generation consoles, while a personal computer port remains unannounced by the publisher.
