LIMTOYS - Nathan 1/6 scale collectible figure (Uncharted 4)

[niekgrijz]

whether were getting another uncharted figure will depend on how well Nate sold.

I think of the total amount of Nates out there, maybe half of those people may buy a secondary character. So it depends if they can still make a decent profit with only half the sales. They could keep it really simple, no moving eyes, only one or two accessories. To keep costs down. But that doesn’t really sound like something Limtoys would do. They always give it their all.

Maybe they can convince their friends at Master Team to make the secondary characters. They dont seem to mind making figures with fewer accessories and generic bodies. That wasn’t a dig at Master Team btw . Their products are generally pretty good, but they obviously cut costs wherever they can.

Well, we need to be realistic, all franchises that I mentioned doesn't have 1/6 good looking figures overall, so all deserve a good treatment, maybe Kratos is the only one but I'm still think Lim can do a better job tbh.

All those examples I wrote will sell a lot better than any Uncharted side character.

"I think Chloe is hot so all of you are wrong and I want her as our next dollie."

Butttt I do agree that Lim's talents are best spent exploring licenses that have no 1/6 representation. However side projects where they can capitalize on existing tooling may work in their favor. Once they have Aloy's body tooled, and they have a female base to work with, then Elena (or Chloe) could be a way to make some money back on that tooling investment.

Lost Legacy is the second best game in the franchise don't @ me

Personally I would prefer Chloe over any other Uncharted character (other than Nate of course).

I just can’t get enough of of this guy! It’s utterly fantastic! I gotta imagine that there are going to be more versions of Drake released just to recoup some of the investment in his unique body. Which leads me to…. Scotland Drake!

From the business perspective secondary characters don’t sell as well as the main characters. Lim doing Sully is logical, single figure with bare minimum accessories. Everyone else is 50/50 imo. I’d love to see Snake,Lara,Geralt… over any secondary character.

Can you knock it off with asking for Lara and Geralt in every thread? There's a ton of Lara and Geralt figures out there. There's more on the way. There's no Elena or Chloe, and people are pretty ecstatic about how this Uncharted figure came out and want more. No one comes into Geralt threads asking for more Nathan Drake figures. We're celebrating Uncharted here.

Lost Legacy is the second best game in the franchise don't @ me

I rank it third. I still think U2 is the best followed by U4, but I rank Lost Legacy third. It's a big reason why I want a Chloe figure. She's a great support character in U2 and U3. When I was first playing through U3 I had really kind of hoped Nate would end up with her. Obviously now I'm glad he's with Elena, but Chloe is a great character. Hope she gets one more game and a good sendoff. She'd have been in just as many games as Nate at that point.

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 from the perspective of importance in the UC4 story, Sam edges out Sully for the next spot... but I think we're all agreed Sully deserves representation more on account of his overall significance to the franchise.

Personally I prefer Chloe more than anyone else because she’s a protagonist of her own game and it seems more fair to just go with her instead of choosing between Elena or Sully or even Sam as companions for U4 Nate.

why don you post in those lara and Geralt threads and demand an Elena or Chloe too?

What about Sam?!

For me Elena would be the obvious choice, then Sam, then Sully and then Chloe and if it’s still profitable by that point, Nadine. I’ve grown to like her a lot in the DLC, umm I mean, the totally standalone game that was totally not overpriced.

Who was this "Sam" again?? Lol jk
Yeah I also feel like Elena would be one of the more obvious choices. And Sully too of course.
Oddly enough though, I actually really don't seem to remember any of the villains from Uncharted...same goes for the Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy. Were they that forgettable?

Sam is a weird one for me.

I'd want him, but not if he was the second character announced. I wouldn't want him as the only companion piece for Nate but rather part of a larger Uncharted collection.

Elena is Nate's wife, she makes total sense but it sounds like Lim might not be ready to tackle a female just yet. Sully makes the most sense - he's in all four games, and he's Nate's best friend and mentor. Chloe makes sense to me because she's the only other playable character in the Uncharted franchise and appears in three of five games, and is mentioned in one more. And she's obviously got a history with Nate.

Sam though, he was only with Nate in one game (and Chloe in one more). He's Nate's brother so I wouldn't really say no, but he drives a wedge between Nate and Elena, and then Chloe and Nadine. He wouldn't necessarily be the character I'd want standing next to Nate on his own. Nate's already got Elena, or Sully, or Chloe next to him on the shelf then I'd feel differently, but Sam would have to be on the back end of a production schedule for me.

I know what you mean. Sam makes sense, sure, but at the same time it would feel odd to me if they made him over Sully and Elena first.
It will be very interesting seeing how their first female characters turn out. But whatever Lim makes next, I'm down for it.

I think Rafe was really the most memorable of them as far as Uncharted goes. I think in three it was some Devil Wears Prada-esque lady? Hard to recall 1 and 2.

This is my only real criticism of the set.

I've become fixated on the floating holders and they're offending my OCD.

The artefact holders remove quite easily after heating, but you're left with the exposed clips, which feel like they're welded in tight. Boiling water had zero effect shifting them, so it would call for a drastic solution.

The clip is essential to support the mast, so needs to stay but I'm considering sawing off the other three along the inside edge of the base.

Then the holders can either be set right up to the base, or removed completely.

Yeah my narrow, rotating display case can't work with the extra attachments. I guess I'm going to be heating and/or breaking them off......

Rafe was the best villain by far but I'm not sure why people sleep on Lazarevic from Uncharted 2. He's just a generic brute, sure, but Graham McTavish did a good job bringing him to life. I enjoyed him as a villain.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Honestly I just want Sully as that's Nate's best friend and Mentor as mentioned before. He'll look great next to Nate maybe he can come with two outfits that are easy to swap. Two Hawaiian shirts and two different cargo pants.

I much prefer having them completely separate and mobile. The only clip that's essential to keep is the one for the mast.

Nothing I can say that hasn't been said. Easy figure of the year contender. From mailbox to shelf, it's been an authentic Uncharted experience. Big probs to Limtoys. @R_R_X, you and your team have done an outstanding job.
