Sony has revealed a new range of figurines called “The Shapes Collection” that includes characters from God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima.
Developed in partnership with toy company Spin Master, Sony says the “highly detailed figures deliver the interactive storytelling element of these titles in an all-new way, extending the gaming experience from digital to physical”.
The six-inch figures themselves “take inspiration from details in each game”, and include interchangeable accessories and “dozens of points of articulation to pose and display”.
First up is a “deluxe” Aloy figurine, which can be pre-ordered now for a not-insubstantial £48. As well as Aloy herself, you’ll get 12 accessories, including multiple face plates and alternative hands.
The accompanying Varl figure – as well as figurines based on Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin Sakai and God of War’s Kratos and Atreus – will open to pre-orders soon for a more palatable £29. These will have 24-34 points of articulation and two to four accessories, depending on the character.
As lead character artist at Guerrilla, Arno Schmitz, explained, the figurines are based on “the actual digital sculpts used for the game”, and the development team worked with the figurine manufacturer to ensure “the many articulation points made sense and even the finest textural detail shows up on the figures”.
