Fanboys of hack and slash adventure, Devil May Cry, can now show their true love and purchase a statue of Dante, the popular protagonist of the series. But with all things fanboy-like, the price isn't cheap and will set you back $87.99. That's US dollars as well. Pricey for a 7 3/4 tall statue.

Developer of said project, Harmonix, recently piped up on this issue through Rob Kay, Harmonix design director , "Come...
