Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a new collaboration with Spin Master to release a new line of collectible figures based on PlayStation Studios titles.
The collection is called The Shapes Collection and the figures will be based on characters from God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima.
"It was a great pleasure to work on the Aloy and Varl figurines together with Spin Master," said Guerrilla Lead Character artist Arno Schmitz. "They are based on the actual digital sculpts used for the game, something you can really see in the final result. We made sure the many articulation points made sense and even the finest textural detail shows up on the figures.
"A personal highlight was the ability to provide different facial expressions for Aloy, which, together with those many articulation points (even her hair has some!), make her a very poseable figure. Also, the technique used to apply color to the faces meant we were really able to maintain the likeness of actual models, something that was very important and adds a lot to the appeal of these figures."
Sucker Punch Creative Director Jason Connell added, "We’re excited to have a new action figure version of Jin that fans can keep on their shelf to protect their home. Jin’s Ghost armor has so many beautiful details, including intricate fabric patterns and overlapping armor plates that are integral to the design of his character. In addition to his katana, it’s also always important to us to see all of his various Ghost tools represented to capture his different fighting techniques."

More over priced crap I won't be wasting my money on. C'mon people, think about it - the marginal cost to make this shit is like $2 with cheap Chinese labor, and yet they want you to fork over $30+ . WTF ????
Omega Boost when? Forget this crap
Only liked the on from GoT.
At least they do not have exclusive dlc attached to them... right?
They need LoD figures next.
We actually did get LoD figures way back then, but they were really meh.
I'm not into figure collecting, but there are some stuff like Digimon Amplified Figure Rise line that is really cool (an expensive too).
Unlike from Jin Sakai I found Aloy and Kratos and Atreus figure faces really bland.
Zero Dawn's Thunderjaw and Forbidden West's Tremortusk figures that came with the collector edition were also really cool, tho, that kind of stuff feels like it has a good reason to exist.
Yeah, I’m looking at the faces again and my Ratchet and Clank pops have more expression than Kratos. I like the one where Aloy is shouting but you’re right that Jin has the best expression
netflix would probably cast an asian girl as the lead
And?
You know Ashly Burch is asian right?
Took them long enough but good that they are finally doing it.
The Aloy figure looks really cool. I hope I can get it for my wife since she's such a big fan lol
Sonys amiibos but without the charm or the iconic characters of nintendo
These aren't trying to be amiibos, they're just licensed figures of their characters and a lot of companies did that before Nintendo. Also, Kratos is pretty iconic and this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of the character. Aloy is getting up there too.
