The world of collectible action figures has been filled with new and new items in recent years, but the "Hot Toys Sam, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach" definitely stands out among them. This is not just another action figure, but a true work of art that reflects the uniqueness of the Death Stranding 2 game and its iconic character, Sam Porter Bridges.
Before we get into the details, it's worth noting that this figure has been a hot topic among collectors. One Reddit user noted that Hot Toys has been paying more attention to this figure than many of their recent Marvel or Star Wars releases. This is likely due to the fact that Hideo Kojima, the game's creator, was able to provide the studio with scans of Norman Reedus, the actor who played Sam.
One of the most talked about aspects of the figure is its base. Several users have lamented the new base for the deluxe version, noting that the previous one was much better. "This new base barely has any base, Sam can barely fit on it in a neutral pose," one fan noted. Another added, "The old 'strand' elements looked great, although they took up a lot of space and could have prevented the figure from being placed wide."
In terms of design, the figure is impressive in its detail. "This is probably the only art figure I would actually want," one user noted, emphasizing the quality of the sculpted head and his love for Higgs' mask. Another fan emphasized that the large number of accessories provides a lot of possibilities for positioning the figure.
However, the question of choosing between the sculptural and art version of the figure remains open. Some collectors prefer the sculptural version because they don't want to worry about the hair, which may lose its appearance over time.
There was also some excitement about the ability to attach accessories to the figure's shoulders, which adds to the authenticity. "He looks amazing and I hope we can attach some things to his shoulders for a complete look," one user noted.
Overall, the Hot Toys Sam, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach figure has been a huge hit with fans. While some aspects, such as the new base, may be questionable, the overall impression of the figure remains extremely positive. For potential buyers, it is important to consider the choice between the sculpt and art version, as well as the possibility of additional accessories.
This review is based on real reviews and impressions from collectors who shared their thoughts on various public platforms such as Reddit.
