A fan-made 3D model of the 'Macca the Gator' statue, featured in Grand Theft Auto 6's expensive collector's edition, is now available for download and printing. This creation comes as a response to community dissatisfaction with the $400 price tag of the collector's box, which notably does not include a physical copy of the game.
The fan-made gator statue was uploaded to the 3D printing website Cults3D by user Jouhna117. This rendition closely resembles the official statue, but is offered at a significantly lower cost, with the digital model priced at less than $2. The creator explicitly stated their motivation for the project on the model's page, expressing frustration with Rockstar Games' pricing and the omission of a disc-based version of Grand Theft Auto 6.
Jouhna117's model includes a defiant message printed on its base: "$400 and no disc? FUCK YOU ROCKSTAR." Further comments on the model's page directly address Rockstar, questioning the value proposition of the collector's edition. The creator noted the statue stands 16 cm tall and recommended it for resin printing.
The aesthetic of the $400 collector's box, which includes merchandise based on a fictional TV show within the game rather than direct references to the main characters like Lucia and Jason or the Vice City setting, has also drawn criticism. Many fans have expressed a desire for items more closely tied to the game's narrative and world. The $400 collector's box remains available for pre-order on Rockstar's official website.
