Naughty Dog, the developer behind The Last of Us Part 2, has recently announced its latest partnership with Dark Horse Studios with another high quality statue. The timing of the statue's announcement comes right after The Last of Us Part 2's one-year anniversary, and is another way for fans to celebrate the game.
Dark Horse Direct has previously partnered with Naughty Dog for two statues also inspired by the The Last of Us Part 2. Both Dark Horse Direct statues are now sold out, and featured The Last of Us Part 2's primary protagonist, Ellie. One statue showcases Ellie with a bow and arrow, and the other statue showcases Ellie with a machete. While Naughty Dog sculpted the Ellie statues and Gentle Giant Studios painted them, a new duo has teamed up for the newest The Last of Us Part 2 statue from Dark Horse Direct.
Big Shot Toy Works and Level 52 have combined crafting efforts for Dark Horse Direct's latest The Last of Us Part 2 statue, which features the deuteragonist, Abby. Abby's statue showcases her iconic ponytail braid, and the character is modeled with a pistol and hammer equipped. Abby is certainly a controversial character in fan discussions about The Last of Us Part 2, where Abby's actions have a significant impact on the narrative as she seeks her revenge.
In general, The Last of Us Part 2 has been a fairly controversial game for fans concerning the fates of particular characters. Some fans are unsatisfied with the closure and conclusion of The Last of Us Part 2, while some fans have heralded the game for its writing and performances. Nonetheless, The Last of Us Part 2 is critically acclaimed and has been awarded and nominated for its achievements.
Rumors of The Last of Us receiving a remake treatment have circulated since the sequel's launch. If these rumors are true, fans may have to wait longer than expected to hear anything about an anticipated third entry in The Last of Us franchise. Meanwhile, fans who are looking to celebrate the sequel's one-year anniversary and the addition of Abby to the franchise have an opportunity to do so with this Dark Horse Direct statue.
Pre-orders are available now for Abby's The Last of Us Part 2 statue, but fans only have a short period of time for which pre-orders will remain open. Dark Horse Direct's pre-order cutoff date is scheduled for July 30, which leaves fans with just over a month to secure their order of the limited edition statue. The statue is also not expected to ship until January to March of 2022, meaning that fans of The Last of Us Part 2 will have to wait until next year to commemorate Abby's character with her own statue.
The Last of Us Part 2Â is available now on PS4 and PS5.
