I suppose I can see the perspective of Chloe as the next logical choice, being the other playable character, but I'm just personally hung up on the fact that she doesn't appear in UC4. When you're talking about a companion for this version of Nate, Elena feels the clear-cut winner. In fact, just...
I absolutely want secondary characters. While Nate is the central character, what makes Uncharted special is the ensemble, the back-and-forth between the main cast, the unique dynamics between the various pairings.
You can have Lara Croft, Master Chief, Aloy, even Kratos (pre-Ragnarok at least)...
Eventually got so frustrated trying to move the eyes in the cowl -- seriously, why are they so difficult to access and with such limited range?? -- that I decided to rock the unmasked sculpt for a little while.
Gotta say: I still think this is their best hair sculpt to date. More realistic...
Man... this figure is really testing my self-control. I wanna repose it, like, every day. Sometimes I'll just go stare at it. Incredible shelf presence. 🤩
Not perfectly, I would say, but certainly among the better ones in that regard! I seem to have gotten lucky on the QC front. No issues attaching the mast, no loose bicep swivel, base sits flat.
Oh yeah, this is gonna be one I return to over and over again with different poses, accessories, etc. Just an absolute delight to fiddle around with! The custom chest and arms are next level, the tailoring is fantastic, the joints are delightfully crunchy, swapping forearms and heads is a...
Endgame is still my favorite suit. It has the elements that make the CW suit great, plus scalemail. If my Winter Soldier waitlist doesn't convert and they don't release Golden Age, I'm probably just hanging onto Endgame 1.0 until a 2.0 comes out.
With the pricing trends -- and the potential impact of Chinese tariffs -- I'm not too upset about spacing them out, though. Still unsure whether I'll complete the set or stop after Gimli, but at least my Three Hunters will be complete. 🙏🏻
An earlier season Daenerys would be a must-have for me. Not interested in the S8 version, as impressive as the tailoring would be. Would also love to get a proper Night's Watch Jon Snow, as opposed to only the King in the North version.
Also, if they're doing the full Fellowship, they'll...
That's where I'm at. I hopped on the WS waitlist within seconds of it becoming available, so I'm still holding onto hope... but I'm not investing in a new Cap by himself. Maybe we'll get a Black Widow, too, and I'll get luckier with that queue...
For a certain style of Widow, I can see that. My favorite BW artists are Chris Samnee and Phil Noto, and the TWS look feels so evocative of their styles:
