You’ve probably seen it in a high-rank kill cam. That tiny, frost-covered German pilot dangling from a 416-C Carbine. It’s the Jäger Black Ice chibi, and honestly, it’s one of those items that separates the "I play Siege" crowd from the "I’ve lived Siege since Year 1" crowd.
But there is a massive amount of confusion about what this thing actually is. Is it an Alpha Pack drop? Can you buy it on the R6 Marketplace? Is it even real, or just a fever dream from a Redditor’s fan-art post?
Let's clear the air.
Most people use "Jäger Black Ice Chibi" to refer to the Jäger Black Ice Weapon Charm. Technically, there isn't a "Black Ice" version of the physical vinyl figure, but the physical Series 2 Jäger Chibi was the only way to get that specific in-game charm. It’s a mess of terminology that has led to some pretty expensive mistakes on eBay.
The Physical Link: Series 2 Figurines
Back in 2018, Ubisoft launched the "Six Collection" Series 2. This wasn't some digital-only event. We’re talking about actual, 3-inch tall vinyl figures you could put on your desk. The lineup included Sledge, Hibana, Valkyrie, Thermite, and our boy Marius "Jäger" Streicher.
Each of these physical boxes came with a unique DLC code.
When you redeemed Jäger’s code, you didn't just get a standard chibi charm. You got the "Black Ice" variant of his charm. It was a genius marketing move. They took the most iconic skin in Rainbow Six Siege history—Black Ice, which originally debuted in February 2016—and shrunk it down into a collectible charm.
Why Everyone Wants It (And Why It’s Rare)
The rarity isn't just because the skin looks cool. It’s about the scarcity of the codes.
Ubisoft stopped manufacturing Series 2 years ago. If you find a "New in Box" Jäger Chibi today, you’re looking at a price tag that would make most people wince. We’ve seen these go for anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on if the code is actually unused.
That’s the trap.
People buy the figure thinking they’ll get the charm, only to realize the previous owner already redeemed the digits back in 2019. If the seal is broken, the charm is probably gone.
- Release Date: September 2018 (Series 2)
- Availability: Discontinued / Secondary Market only
- In-game Rarity: Epic (Purple)
The Marketplace Reality
Now that the R6 Marketplace is live, you’d think you could just hop on and snipe one for some R6 Credits.
It's not that simple.
Because this item was tied to a physical purchase and a unique external code, its presence on the marketplace has been hit-or-miss. While many "Chibi" charms are tradable, the specific Black Ice variants (like the one for Jäger) are often locked to the account that redeemed the physical code.

Some players swear they’ve seen it listed for 20,000+ Credits. Others say it’s entirely "Non-Transferable." The reality is that Ubisoft’s categorization of "Exclusives" often keeps these physical-link items off the open market to protect their value for original collectors.
Jäger Black Ice Chibi vs. Standard Black Ice
Don't confuse the chibi with the weapon skin.
You can pull Jäger’s 416-C Black Ice skin from an Alpha Pack or a Bravo Pack. It’s rare, sure, but everyone has a chance. The Jäger Black Ice chibi (the charm) is a completely different beast. You cannot pull it from a pack. You cannot "luck" into it.
You either bought the plastic toy six years ago, or you didn't.
How to spot a fake
If you’re hunting for the physical figure on sites like eBay or Mercari, be careful. There are plenty of "unbranded" chibis coming out of factories that look 95% identical to the Ubisoft original.

- The Box: Original Series 2 boxes have a specific holographic sticker.
- The Code: It’s a scratch-off card inside the box. If it’s already scratched, it’s worthless for your in-game inventory.
- The Texture: Real Ubisoft chibis have a matte finish; many fakes are strangely shiny or "greasy" looking.
What You Should Do Now
If you absolutely must have that frozen German pilot on your gun, your options are thinning out.
First, check the R6 Marketplace daily. Ubisoft frequently updates which items are "eligible" for trade. Even if it was locked last week, it might not be today.
Second, if you’re buying a physical one, ask for a video of the unredeemed code card. A photo isn't enough—scammers are great with Photoshop. If the seller refuses to show the card (with the code obscured, obviously), walk away.
Honestly? Most Jäger mains are shifting toward the Gold Chibi or the Elite "Aces" charms anyway. But if you’re a completionist, the Black Ice version is the ultimate "I was there" trophy. Just be prepared to pay the "legacy tax" for a piece of Siege history.

Focus on checking your legacy digital codes from old Ubisoft Store purchases first. Sometimes those Series 2 codes were sent via email and are sitting in a "Promotions" folder from 2018, totally forgotten. Search your inbox for "Six Collection" or "Ubisoft Code" before you drop half a paycheck on a plastic toy.
