Prepare your crafting tables and polish your pickaxes, because a collaboration you never knew you needed has officially landed. In a dazzling display of “why not?”, Austrian crystal giant Swarovski has teamed up with Microsoft’s Minecraft to unleash a new line of collectible crystal figurines. You read that right – your favorite blocky heroes are now available in shimmering, full-cut crystal, perfect for adorning your mantelpiece or confusing your non-gaming relatives.
Collectible Crystal Figurines
Among the standout pieces are:
- Swarovski Minecraft Steve
- Swarovski Minecraft Alex
- Swarovski Minecraft Creeper
- Swarovski Minecraft Pig
Even the game’s more explosive residents are getting a glow-up. The Creeper, typically a source of jump scares and shattered builds, has been transformed into a “safe and decorative” crystal figurine. For those who prefer their mobs on the adorable side, the beloved Minecraft pig is also receiving the crystal treatment, proving that even farm animals deserve a little sparkle.
If you’re wondering about the price tag for these dazzling digital-to-deluxe conversions, prepare for a bit of a shock. These sparkly creations will set you back between £280 and £300, which, while fairly standard for high-end crystal collectibles, undoubtedly positions them as some of the most, if not the most, expensive Minecraft merchandise ever to grace a collector’s shelf.
As part of this truly unexpected partnership, a special crystallized Character Creator item, the “Crystal Suit,” is available in-game for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Simply scan a QR code, and you too can dress your avatar in Swarovski-embellished attire. Is this the most expensive skin in a game ever? Probably.
This collection, which aims to bridge the digital and physical worlds with a healthy dose of irony and shine, is out now. So, whether you’re a serious gamer, a discerning collector, or just someone who appreciates a good laugh and a shiny object, head over to Swarovski stores nationwide or its official website.
