Equipment: Diamond Select Toys Nathan Drake Uncharted Action Figure Review and Unboxing

Uncharted started out as a video game and in 2022 it became a feature film starring Tom Holland in the role of Nathan Drake; adventurer and treasure hunter. The movie played out just like a live action video game with chases, narrow escapes and an overabundance of action. Now thanks to Diamond Select Toys you relive Nathan Drake’s adventures with the Uncharted Nathan Drake Deluxe Action Figure.

I am constantly impressed with the figures that Diamond Select Toys produces and this one is no exception. Designed by Yuri Timg and sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios the Uncharted Nathan Drake Deluxe Action Figure stands approximately 7 inches tall and has multiple points of articulation. These are:

  • Head (ball joint)
  • Shoulders
  • Bicep
  • Elbows (double)
  • Chest
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Knees (double)
  • Ankles
  • Feet

Nathan Drake comes with accessories. These are:

  • Saint Dismas Cross (2)
  • A Book of Magellan’s Voyages
  • Extra Set of Hands (2 sets)
  • Handgun

I do like this figure a great deal. I like how poseable he is but keep in mind that fresh out of the box his joints are very tight. You can soak your figure in warm water to loosen the joints or just be careful and take your time bending elbows and knees. I say this from experience, my exuberance has cost me a figure or two in the past.

 

The figure itself looks good with a well-done face sculpt. You can tell that it is supposed to be Tom Holland. Sadly though, the photograph on the box looks more like the actor. I did like the fact that the artist for the figure made Tom Holland look like and adult. Granted, the figures that make him look young are supposed to; for many of those his character is still in high school. Tom Holland does make a convincing 16 year old in many of his movies but in Uncharted he is playing closer to his actual age and the action figure does a good job reflecting that.

I like this figure and I think it will work great for action figure photography. I will be waiting for warmer weather and a bit of green in the fields before I start planning the photoshoot. The Uncharted Nathan Drake Deluxe Action Figure from Diamond Select Toys retails for $24.99. You can purchase him from the Diamond Select Toys website, at  your local comic shop or wherever you purchase your collectibles.
