It will also come with a pink velvet box with a purple strap:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;First 4 Figures is proud to introduce We Love Kirby metal painted statue. This is the first metal statue in our all new Kirby\u2122 Mini Metals lineup. The statue is inspired by the &#8220;We Heart Kirby&#8221; sign that emerges from the ground at the end of the game. The &#8220;We Love Kirby&#8221; statue is beautifully replicated by having the original scheme. The words &#8220;We Heart Kirby&#8221; are portrayed in gold and the heart is a bright metallic pink. The glossy finish in Kirby&#8217;s iris with the gradient makes him look more animated. His body and feet have a matte finish which makes it seem as if Kirby is holding up the sign himself. To go with this dynamic statue, the base has triangles on the sides. It has been plated with a darker, reddish gold which brings out the layers of gold, making the structure more dynamic. The gold plating has a reflective finish, making it look shiny, and makes the spherical aspect of Kirby stand out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Kirby\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7eeb7fa0b52dc\/kirby.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMzI2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"326\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7eeb7fa0b52dc\/kirby.445x.jpg\" alt=\"Kirby\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Kirby\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b97be911f9789\/kirby.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMzI2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"326\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b97be911f9789\/kirby.445x.jpg\" alt=\"Kirby\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Images: First 4 Figures<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>What do you think of this latest F4F figure? <em>Tell us below.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">Please note that some external links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale.
