Breakout actress Inde Navarrette, currently riding the wave of global success from her performance as Nikki in the horror-thriller Obsession, was left entirely speechless during an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City.
A dedicated fan surprised the actress by gifting her an ultra-rare, pristine, factory-sealed 2009 edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The high-grade collectible is enclosed in a protective display case and carries a market valuation of roughly $1,000.
A Personal Connection: Navarrette’s Gaming Roots
Videos of Navarrette’s genuinely shocked reaction have gone viral across TikTok and Instagram. While the $1,000 price tag is impressive, the gift holds deep sentimental value for the Obsession star.
Long before her Hollywood breakthrough, Navarrette was an active gamer:
The Backstory: Navarrette grew up playing the Call of Duty franchise alongside her older brother.
The Pandemic Sanctuary: During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, while struggling to navigate the dry spell between acting gigs, she built a tight-knit community streaming her gameplay on Twitch.
The Activision Connection: Recognizing her authentic history with the game, gaming giant Activision invited her to sit on a star-studded Fanatics Fest 2026 panel—which featured NBA superstar Kevin Durant and Infinity Ward director Mark Grigsby—to showcase the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
“I’m Not Selling This One”
When discussing the soaring value of the 2009 pristine physical copy, Navarrette laughed off any idea of turning the collectible over for a quick profit.
“Yes, and one recently sold for $1,000. Can you believe that?” Navarrette remarked to the crowd before firmly adding, “I’m not selling this one. [It’s staying] in my house. In my room.”
Activision Chief Marketing Officer Tyler Bahl praised the actress at the event, explaining that the studio explicitly wanted to celebrate her longtime fandom alongside the explosive box-office success of Obsession. For Navarrette, the rare item serves as a full-circle reminder of the community that supported her before her Hollywood ascent.
