It already feels like an age since the 2019 Resident Evil 2 came out and was generally pretty awesome, but the Raccoon City fun train shows no signs of slowing down. Next on the agenda? Action figures!
DAMTOYS, creator of figures for the military and Assassin’s Creed of all things, will be creating a range of 1/6 scale figures based on the characters from the 2019 reimagining of Resident Evil 2. The figures will be distributed by Nauts. No set release date or countries outside Japan receiving them yet, nor is there any confirmation of which characters are being made (Leon and Claire at least, surely?), but given the track record of DAMTOYS, they should be pretty good.
This was revealed in an announcement from both companies, which you can read below.
Nauts Inc. is proud to announce a global licensing agreement for the production & sales of the worldwide videogame hit, “Resident Evil 2 Remake” 1/6 Scale Poseable Figures!
Nauts Inc. is partnering with DAMTOYS (Damtoys) well-known for their line of high-quality military figures, in order to develop high-quality products that will satisfy collectors!
Personally, I’m praying they make one of William Birkin.
