Ghost Ship and Heroic Replicas present: Heavy Metal Replicas and Delving Gear, from the world of Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and Stone!
If you have ever wanted to bring a piece of Hoxxes IV into your living room, Ghost Ship Games and Heroic Replicas have teamed up to make it happen. Launching on Kickstarter, the Deep Rock Galactic Metal Pickaxe Replica campaign offers a massive, life size recreation of the iconic mining tool. By combining die cast metals with modular components, it allows fans to physically wield the exact company equipment they use in the hit video game.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator DEEP ROCK GALACTIC Metal Pickaxe Replica + New Merch by Heroic Replicas LTD.
What It Is This campaign centers around a 1:1 scale, heavy metal replica of the standard issue pickaxe from the cooperative shooter Deep Rock Galactic. It also serves as a massive merchandise drop, featuring vinyl soundtracks, building block sets, and new themed apparel.
KEY FEATURES
Massive Metal Build The pickaxe is a true 1:1 life size replica. It is crafted from a die cast zinc aluminum alloy with steel hardware, giving it a hefty, realistic weight of 16 pounds.
Three Core Variants Miners can choose from three different base models. Options include the Company Standard, the prestigious Golden Supporter edition, and a Raw Cast version designed specifically for fans who want to paint and customize their own tool.
Modular Customization Just like in the game, the physical pickaxe is modular. You can swap out the standard parts with machined aluminum add on heads like the Chop Chop and Obsidian Mallet options to completely tweak your build.
3D Printable Integration Thanks to unlocked stretch goals, every pickaxe includes a Universal Adapter Kit. This allows makers to design and 3D print their own custom shafts and heads to attach directly to the heavy metal frame.
Expanded Delving Gear Beyond the pickaxe, the campaign introduces a real life Flare Lamp. This USB powered, color changing light comes with a remote control to properly illuminate your physical gaming room.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Backers can secure their replica pickaxes at discounted campaign prices before the remaining inventory eventually moves to the official merchandise store.
Options In addition to the pickaxes, fans can pledge for the Deep Rock Galactic original soundtrack on vinyl. The music is available across three distinct volumes or as a massive 6LP collector set. Other add ons include a Bosco Building Block Set and exclusive apparel.
Delivery The campaign is fully funded and runs until September 1, 2026. The creators plan to begin shipping the heavy replicas to backers in the second quarter of 2027.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Bringing Hoxxes Home. The creators at Heroic Replicas specialize in translating digital props into realistic physical items. They want to give the passionate Deep Rock Galactic community a way to physically celebrate their love for the game, offering a rugged, high quality collectible that feels like it was pulled straight out of the dwarven mining corporate catalog.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the overwhelming community demand for tangible in game items. Following the massive success of their previous plushie Kickstarter, Heroic Replicas noted that fans constantly requested a real version of the game's most iconic tool. Recognizing that cheap plastic would not do justice to a dwarven mining game, the team decided to go all out by engineering a 16 pound metal behemoth that truly embodies the spirit of "Rock and Stone."
