Within 24 hours of Rockstar Games revealing a $399.99 physical merchandise bundle for Grand Theft Auto VI, the 3D printing community has already begun replicating its most prominent item. On September 25, 2026, a 3D-printable model of the “Macca the Gator” figure was uploaded to the platform Cults3D by user Leo_Meds3D, allowing fans with the right hardware to create their own version of the collectible for the cost of a few ounces of resin or filament.
The rapid response from the maker community follows the announcement of The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, a premium box set scheduled for release alongside the game on November 19, 2026. While the bundle carries a price tag usually reserved for high-end “Collector’s Editions,” it notably does not include a copy of Grand Theft Auto VI itself.
Why fans are replicating Macca the Gator
The decision to 3D print the figure appears driven by the steep entry price of the official collection. Leo_Meds3D, the model’s creator, reportedly included descriptions with the file that questioned Rockstar’s pricing strategy for a bundle that lacks the game software. The availability of the 3D printable files on September 25, 2026, demonstrates that a physical replica can be produced well before the collection’s scheduled November 19 release date.
The character itself, Macca the Gator, serves as a mascot for an in-universe Leonida television show. While protagonist figures for Jason or Lucia might have been expected, Rockstar opted for the neon-clad alligator as the centerpiece of this specific merchandise run. The official 6-inch figure features a functional “twist-open stash compartment” in its base—a mechanical detail that the current fan-made 3D models may not yet fully replicate.
What is actually in the $400 box?
While the Macca figure is the visual highlight, the $399.99 price point is largely influenced by brand partnerships included in the box. Rockstar has positioned this as a high-end apparel and accessory collection rather than a standard gaming bundle. According to Push Square, the collection consists of 11 distinct items:
- Custom Oakley Frogskins sunglasses featuring a pink GTA VI logo (standard versions of these sunglasses typically retail between $150 and $200).
- A 6-inch Macca the Gator vinyl figure with a hidden compartment.
- New Era 9FORTY embroidered headwear.
- A double-sided poster featuring a full map of the state of Leonida.
- Various embroidered patches, stickers, and smaller decorative items.
The inclusion of the double-sided map is of particular interest to the broader community, as it effectively confirms previous landscape leaks regarding the scale of the Leonida map. However, for those only interested in the aesthetic of the “Vice City” mascot, the 3D printing route has quickly become a popular, albeit unofficial, alternative to the full $400 investment.
