Fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 can rejoice: a new figurine inspired by the famous RPG from Larian Studios will soon join Good Smile Company’s POP UP PARADE collection. The announcement was made during Smile Fest 2025, along with a first visual on the official gallery. We already told you about the Astarion figurine last week, and the news keeps coming.
The Emperor poses for this Baldur's Gate 3 collector's item
The character in the spotlight is none other than the Emperor, the enigmatic illithid (or mind flayer) who plays a central role in the Baldur's Gate 3 storyline. Through his disturbing and majestic appearance, he embodies both the threat and fascination surrounding this emblematic race of the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Good Smile Company has chosen to make him the next star of its POP UP PARADE SP line, a special version of its affordable, high-quality figurines.
The POP UP PARADE collection is well known for offering quality figurines at a reasonable price. Often around €40 to €50. The SP (Special) label generally refers to models that are larger or more detailed than the classic versions. This suggests that special care has been taken with the finishing touches to the character of the Emperor from Baldur's Gate 3, particularly his tentacles, his "alien" silhouette, and his imposing posture. The price could also increase a little for the occasion.
A lasting impact
With this new figurine, Good Smile continues to expand its offerings around successful video game licenses. Baldur's Gate 3, voted Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards, has won the hearts of gamers thanks to its writing, but also its charismatic characters and its loyalty to the spirit of role-playing. The arrival of new derivative products like this figurine testifies to the lasting impact of the title on popular culture. Even long after.
