Spin Master and Sony Playstation unveil the Shapes Collection with figures from Horizon, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima

Sony Playstation and Spin Master have officially launched their new 'Shapes Collection' action figures sourced from the various PlayStation catalog of video games. We have been seeing snippets of these over the last few weeks through online listings, but we now have the full breakdown of the new 6-inch line for launch.



The Shapes Collection will feature two grades of figures. These start with the Deluxe Collectors Grade which features up to 42 points of articulation and premium decor and accessories - including alternative face or head options. The first of these out for collectors is Aloy, Horizon Forbidden West and she will start shipping in August 2024.



The Core Collector figures feature slightly less articulation at between 24 and 34 points and limited accessories - usually between 2 and 4 per release. These Core releases kick off with Varl from Horizon Forbidden West as well as figures of Kratos and Atreus from God of War, and Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima. These Core figures are going to open for pre-ordering in August and will ship in September 2024.



The way the press release reads it does seem that this line is going to be exclusive to Playstation Gear - which does serve the UK - and Amazon in US and Australia. We also know that future figures in development include Ellie and Joel from The Last Of Us.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
