The much-talked-about sequel "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach" created by Hideo Kojima is scheduled to debut in 2025. The protagonist "Sam Porter Bridges" once again embarks on a lonely journey, this time across the apocalyptic Australian continent. Hot Toys today (23) officially released the 1/6 scale "Sam" action figure from this game, which exquisitely reproduces Norman Reedus's appearance in the game and new equipment. As usual, the high-fidelity production is bound to set off a collection craze again! A total of three versions will be launched: the regular version , the deluxe version, and the art-level deluxe version.
Real hair appears! The "Artisan-level head sculpt" with wool fibers brings the ultimate realism.
Compared with the head sculpts used in the standard version and Deluxe Version, which are sculpted hairstyles, this Artisan Edition Deluxe Version uses "hair transplant technology" to use wool fibers to reproduce Sam's natural and elegant medium-length hair. It is more visually vibrant and highly consistent with Norman Reedus's role performance. This detail not only enhances the overall texture, but is also the soul of the Artisan series!
The name of gold! The exclusive "Golden Mask" symbolizes the glory of completing the game.
The "Golden Mask", which can only be obtained after completing the main story, debuts as an accessory for the first time, and is only included in the Artisan Edition Deluxe Version! This mask, which symbolizes the glory of the messenger, adds a touch of mystery and overwhelming sense of plot to the display. At the same time, this version is also equipped with classic UV reflective Drawbridge armor, detachable Battle Skeleton, Odradek scanner, transport boots and other equipment, and all the details of the body are heavily aged, perfectly reproducing the Sam who has experienced the wind and rain in the game.
The lineup expansion far exceeds that of
the Deluxe Edition. The LED base and limited accessories fully include all the upgraded contents of the Deluxe Version, including:
‧ Blood Boomerang in the expanded state
‧ Two slices of Pizza-Do rubber pizza
‧ Damaged silver cargo box
‧ Luminous LED "APAS 4000" scene-style display base (red light, full of atmosphere)
Coupled with the newly added hair transplant head sculpture and gold mask, the overall collection value and display level have been upgraded again. It is definitely the one with the most overwhelming presence among the three versions!
All equipment is still complete, even the details are not spared!
Like the previous two versions, this version also includes a full set of equipment content:
‧ Magnetic backpack accessories (back protector, anti-gravity device, crystal storage canister, grenade bag)
‧ Sling equipment (spare magazine box, pistol holster, water bottle, tool bag)
‧ Weapon system (Strand, machine gun, assault rifle)
‧ BB capsule (two state shells), Dollman doll
‧ Weapon system (Strand, machine gun, assault rifle)
‧ Electrobiote electric biological charms and BB capsule amulets on the backpack and other details
Every detail is uncompromising, sincerity and restoration are simultaneously pulled to the maximum!
Exclusive metal collector's card upgraded with limited value
Like the Deluxe Version, this model also comes with a special "Death Stranding 2" metal collector's card, which comes with a display box for storage. However, with only 4,000 units available worldwide, this collector's card is instantly upgraded to an exclusive souvenir with numbered significance, which is very substantial!
From the standard version to the deluxe version, and then to this Artisan Edition Deluxe Version, Hot Toys has officially pushed the "Death Stranding 2" collectibles to the level of art. Whether it is the hyper-realistic modeling of the hair-implanted head sculpture, the limited gold mask, or the overwhelming content lineup, this doll is not just a "collection", but the highest tribute to Sam's journey. If you are a player who truly understands the meaning of "connection", then this one is definitely not to be missed.
