Borderlands 4[1] launched in September, and one of the highlights of the game was its introduction of a new gang of Vault Hunters. From the swarthy exo-soldier Rafa to the punk-rock Siren Vex, these misfits nailed the brief for being engaging, colorful, and accidentally heroic in their quest to raid the vaults of Kairos. If you’re looking to celebrate these new additions to the Borderlands mythos, then you can pick up new collectible figures of Amon, Harlowe, Rafa, and Vex from the Dark Horse Store.
These are designed to be detailed–but affordable–additions to your shelf, and preorders are now open for their future release. Each figure is priced at $70 and has a color scheme that replicates their in-game cel-shaded look, but if you pick up the four-pack, you’ll save $20 on your purchase.

Kicking things off is the Forge Knight Amon, a towering nine-inch replica of the burly warrior-poet. His sculpt features his fiery forge-fists and ice-axe, and his base is decorated with a red vault symbol.

Harlowe takes on an action-packed pose with her figure, and she’s armed with her signature Chroma Accelerator weapon. Standing seven inches tall, her base has a teal vault symbol.

Vex isn’t sprouting her Siren wings for her figure, but she is ready to throw down with a fireball if necessary. Despite her gothic appearance, there’s a fair amount of color spread throughout the inaction figure, and she’s standing on a base that has a pink vault symbol.

Finally, Rafa’s figure is ready to put some Tediore technology to work, as he has his Arc-Knives out and he’s ready for a fight. Standing 6.5 inches tall, he’s positioned on a base with a blue vault symbol.
Borderlands fans can also order a new art book[2] that compiles a vault’s worth of character, environment, and concept designs into a 224-page hardcover book. Priced at $37.69 (was $55), the book details how the world of Kairos came together during the development of Borderlands 4.
Like previous entries in the series, Borderlands 4 will be supported by post-launch content. The first pack of paid DLC was recently detailed, with Gearbox revealing at PAX Australia how players will take on the Timekeeper’s Minister of Culture to spread the joy of Mercenary Day. Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford has also declared, “We suck” following the launch of the game, as the studio is aiming to reach a broader audience[3] with the Borderlands franchise.
