The Uncharted series of video games have been some of the most highly-touted and highly-reviewed of all time, but haven't been particularly well-supported in the action figure or collectibles world. That is until now, thanks to an adventurous new 12-inch take on the series' protagonist.

Few games have ever captured the adventurous spirit of the Indiana Jones films, but Uncharted manages to do it time and time again. The game's lovable hero and cinematic presence create a great combination for the action figure world, and Sideshow is finally giving us all the Nathan Drake figure that we deserve. Read all about the beautiful new piece straight from Sideshow, then marvel at the incredible photos below.

Nathan Drake Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles “Greatness from Small Beginnings”



Sideshow is proud to celebrate the two year anniversary and hero of Naughty Dog’s award winning action-adventure game, Uncharted III: Drake’s Deception, with the Nathan Drake Sixth Scale Figure.



Capturing Drake’s intense yet cool demeanor, the globetrotting treasure hunter comes to life with a hand crafted portrait, full range of articulation and ability to recreate the many dangerous encounters and absurd predicaments he’s most often found in.



Ready to set out for the fabled Atlantis of the Sands, the self-proclaimed descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake has all of the clues he needs from an ancient map and the treasured heirloom ring he ‘kind of inherited’ around his neck. Sporting his famously half-tucked Henley shirt, wide cuff wristwatch, cargo pants, and belt with lucky horseshoe buckle, Nate is fully equipped for adventure in desert terrain with a hand-tailored shemagh tactical scarf, bandolier, and cross halter shoulder rig. Danger lurks around every corner, and while the rugged hero is capable of winning any brawl with just his fists, packing his trusty 9mm pistol and assault rifle guarantees that nothing can stop the thief with honor... not even spiders.

I can't imagine a much better take on the character. Everything has been executed well, from the stern face sculpt to the absurd costume details, even down to the ridiculously perfect-to-scale tiny necklace bearing the ring around his neck. You wouldn't even know this wasn't a statue if not for the bare wrist articulation on his right arm. Every other hint of a joint is well hidden by a watch, clothes, or his scarf. All together, the figure has a wonderful silhouette and just looks cool in so many different poses.

The action shots and dioramas that Sideshow set up for the above photos certainly help, but it's not hard to see that this figure will look good on almost any shelf. I think lots of collectors and gamers could find a good home for him atop an old, now-forgotten, Playstation 3 for instance. You can visit the Sideshow Collectibles website to preorder the figure right now, or keep an eye out on the DASH Marketplace for him in the future. I just wouldn't wait too long to secure this treasure.
