He’s a former Special Forces hero, a decorated war veteran, and the only man who can save the President from a dystopian Manhattan. Sideshow has officially opened pre-orders for the Snake Plissken Premium Format Figure, a high-end tribute to Kurt Russell’s legendary anti-hero from John Carpenter’s 1981 cult classic “Escape From New York.”
Standing just over 22 inches tall, the statue captures Snake in the middle of his high-stakes mission. He’s positioned atop a base of urban decay—rubble, twisted rebar, and a discarded Wall Street sign—while a manhole cover beneath his boots hints at the “Crazies” lurking just below the surface.
Sideshow hasn’t cut any corners on the anti-hero aesthetic and has packed the figure with screen-accurate details:
- The Fit: The Snake Plissken Premium Format Figure is sculpted wearing a detailed recreation of his rugged ’80s style, including his jacket, black undershirt, signature camo pants, and spike-toed boots.
- The Gear: Snake comes armed with his signature submachine gun (featuring a soft fabric strap), a tracker, and his iconic belt holsters.
- The Clock: The Life Clock countdown timer is prominently displayed on his wrist—a grim reminder of the explosives ticking away in his neck.
- The Portrait: The sculpt features a pitch-perfect likeness of a young Kurt Russell, complete with his signature eyepatch, cigarette, facial hair, and the most famous mullet in action cinema history.
This limited-edition piece is a must-have for Carpenter fans and is available for pre-order now, but comes with a premium price tag of $785. Fans looking to add Plissken to their ranks can expect him to ship between December 2026 and March 2027.
