The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog’s follow-up to the 2013 critical darling, is now available for PlayStation 4 gamers to pick up and play. The long-awaited sequel has players taking on the role of Ellie full-time, as she faces the realities of the fall of human society and the still-present plague. For players who loveThe Last of Usand want to celebrate the game even once it’s finished, the Good Smile Company has something special in the works. Ellie is getting her very own Nendoroid figure.
Revealed just recently, the Good Smile Company confirmed that Ellie fromThe Last of Us Part 2is receiving a special licensedNendoroid. The figure is currently only available for pre-order directly from Good Smile’s website. It’s selling for around $53 depending on conversion from yen to dollars. Pre-orders will close on August 20. This is the first, and so far only, Nendoroid forThe Last of Usfranchise.

Like with all Nendoroid, the figure comes with a variety of accessories. Ellie has two face plates. One is a relatively normal, non-smiling face and the other is a shouting face with raised eyebrows. In terms of handheld accessories, Ellie will have a gun, abow and arrow, a machete, and a brick. Ellie is otherwise in her normal blood-smeared traveling attire.
For those unfamiliar, Nendoroids are palm-sized figures about a touch bigger than aFunko Pop. However, a Nendoroid has a variety of cool features like articulated arms and legs allowing them to be posed in fun ways. They’re also held up by a clear plastic arm attached to the base so that they don’t become imbalanced and fall, no matter how dynamic a pose they’re shifted into.
WhileThe Last of Usis new to Nendoroids, Ellie isn’t the first licensed PlayStation character to get a figure.Nathan Drake fromUncharted 4has his own Nendoroid, as does Kratos from the recentGod of Warrelease. There’s also a great Hunter fromBloodbornewith a Nendoroid. Other game franchises includingKingdom Hearts,Monster Hunter, andDevil May Cryalso have great figures.
For those who can’t afford to drop over $50 on a Nendoroid, bothJoeland Ellie have Funko Pop figures, too. There’s even a line of rubber duckieThe Last of Uscharacters from the Tubbz Cosplay Ducks collection. The clicker duck is especially great.
The Last of Us Part 2’s Ellie Nendoroid can be pre-ordered directly from theGood Smile Company website.
The Last of Us Part 2is available now on PS4.
