You Can Ride a Sandworm With This Incredible New ‘Dune’ Skate Deck [Exclusive]
Dark Horse Direct and Legendary Pictures are releasing a limited-edition skateboard deck featuring artwork of a sandworm from Denis Villeneuve's "Dune", with Collider given an exclusive first look. The collectible taps into continued enthusiasm for the sci-fi franchise, offering fans a decorative piece inspired by the film's imagery rather than a purely functional skateboard.
The deck is crafted from 100% seven-ply Canadian maple and measures 31.87 inches long by 8.25 inches wide, depicting a sandworm emerging from the desert against a crimson-red background with gold foil detailing. The design draws on murals found in the palace of Arrakeen from Villeneuve's first "Dune" film. Limited to just 500 units and priced at $80, it is available for pre-order exclusively through DarkHorseDirect.com.
