NECA Uncharted 4 Nathan Drake Ultimate Figure – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on September 9, 2016 at 10:01 am by Joe Moore under Random Photo Shoot, Video Game Toy News

Nathan Drake, the everyman treasure hunter, from the Uncharted video game series, finally gets the general release action figure fans have been waiting for. NECA has released a Nate figure based on his latest adventure in the PlayStation 4 game Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.  The figure, part of NECA’s Ultimate 7″ Scale line up, features over 30 points of articulation, two portraits, swappable hands and weapons.

We grabbed the figure from Toyark sponsor Big Bad Toy Store. There are 55 hi-res photos to check out. See the pics and our review after the jump.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – Nathan Drake Ultimate 7″ Scale Figure

Pros

  • Excellent sculpt
  • Strong articulation
  • Swappable head sculpts work well
  • Good weapons and accessories

Cons

  • None

Overall
The Nathan Drake figure coming in a flapped window box. The design and artwork are inspired by the packaging for Uncharted 4. Included with the figure are coiled and uncoiled climbing ropes, a pistol, an AK-47, two sets of interchangeable hands, and two interchangeable head sculpts (standard and angry). The diorama backdrop is modeled after the map artwork from the game. Nate is held into the tray by a few twist ties.

The figure features a really strong sculpt overall. It captures the look of Nathan Drake really well (even has a half tucked shirt). In Uncharted 4, Nate looked a little more buff, with stronger, more pronounced features compared to his PS3 adventures. His portrait design also changed a bit with this game release, which took some getting used to. With NECA licensing Uncharted 4, the figure reflects this look, with a more muscular body and a detailed head sculpt that fits with his look in the game. Detail work on the figure is great, with different textures simulated on different surfaces. There’s fine texturing on the clothing, while skin remains smooth. The paint application on Drake is also strong, with multiple layers of washes, dirt and blood stains throughout. The face sculpts have a thin layer of paint used for a 5 o’clock shadow, which is nice and subtly applied. The paint o nthe eyes, face, and hair are all pretty good.

The upper body uses a softer shirt overlay for the waist section, allowing the mid-section joints to remain hidden, but fully functional. Fans will be happy to see double jointed knees here, which are great for climbing and jumping poses. There’s over 30 points of articulation in total. Nate has all the standard NECA joints and swivels you’d expect, allowing for some nice dynamic posing. Joints were all tight, with no paint locking issues found here. The weapons and all work well with the figure too. You an place the pistol in a holster, throw the rifle over his shoulder, all while carrying the climbing ropes and grapple. The guns and grapple are all made of the harder, sturdier plastic, so no bending here.

The Ultimate Nathan Drake figure, for me, is an excellent figure. I’ve loved the game series since the original. I’ve waited a long time for someone to put out an affordable and fun Nathan Drake figure. With some good weapons and the swappable parts, it’s hard to find something not to like. The Nathan Drake figure is available now. Check out some highlight photos below and the full gallery after that.

    Great pics as always, turned out a hell of a lot better than mine. Great recreation of the video game cover as well. This is one of my all time favorite NECA releases. Stands really nice along side Kratos.

    Thank you.

    I really enjoyed shooting this one. Just wish I had a good fill in for a rock wall to do better climbing shots.

    I feel ya, closest thing I have is a rock face from a Toy Biz Two Towers Gollum from around 2002, but it's pretty small. Been thinking about carving up Styrofoam from leftover packing materials and just spray painting it and dry brushing it to make it look like rocky terrain. Your Madagascar background and rock you have in the pics work great.

    Not really familiar with the Uncharted series, but damn is that isn't an awesome figure. And a working shoulder holster as well, as opposed to having a gun lamely sculpted in it! Very cool.

    Uncharted is one of the few game series of the modern era that has stuck with me. I completely bought into the characters as the games are fun and the stories well told.

    It doesn't sound like they will be doing any of the other characters, which is a shame. I'd really love for them to do Sully and Elena at the very least.

    Pie in the sky NECA does a 2 pack. Even if one of the figures in the 2 pack is just a rerelease of this Drake I'd double dip if he came with a young Nate Drake or Elena or Sully or Shoreline soldier. Or Chloe, I'd love an Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Nate and Chloe 2 pack. But, I'm content with finally getting a great Nathan Drake so I'm a happy camper.

    It's basically like the Indiana Jones game series we always wish we could've had but it manages to distinguish itself from just being an Indiana Jones ripoff. Some of the set pieces (for lack of a better word) in the Uncharted series are extremely well done, like it was a movie they were working on.

    Seeing this figure, and Kratos, makes me wish NECA would get back the Bioshock license and give that line the finish it deserved. Handyman, Burial at Sea Elizabeth, and updated Big Daddies would make up my wishlist.

    Despite the fact that I have only played about 30 minutes total of Uncharted, I really like this figure.

    I love the NECA Bioshock line, and I would be delighted to see it return. The Big Daddies are fantastic (I have the Rosie and Subject Delta), but the rest of the line is great too. Booker is actually one of my favorite figures ever, despite being a simpler design than the other characters.
    I'd like to see them release all of the characters you mentioned, as well as a few others. Some foot soldiers from Infinite would be nice, and I think a figure of Jack from the original game would be really cool.

    Of course, what I really want to see is a comprehensive Dishonored line from NECA or Mezco. I would be more than happy with just Corvo and Daud, but I would buy a figure of pretty much any character from that game. I would love to army-build all the enemy types. It's too bad that this is unlikely to happen, as that would be a dream come true.

    Don't forget about the basic assassins, I guess they're called the Whalers, to go with Daud and fight Corvo. I deeply enjoyed Dishonored both for its aesthetics and its actual stealth-oriented gameplay.

    Some Whalers would be cool (maybe have a figure of each rank, as the color of their uniforms differed in the DLC). And a Billie Lurk figure would be neat.
