Youtooz Reveals New PlayStation Line of Collectible Figures

Key Takeaways

  • Youtooz’s new PlayStation figure collection features Astro Bot, Kratos, and more, available for purchase from November 24 at 3pm EST.
  • The chibi style of Youtooz figures gives an adorable revamp to iconic characters, with Kratos being the standout in the series.
  • Fans can expect more figures to be added to Youtooz’s PlayStation collection in the future, as the company asked for suggestions on Twitter.

As a long-time gamer and collector of gaming memorabilia, I can hardly contain my excitement over Youtooz’s new PlayStation figure collection! The chibi style they’ve chosen for these iconic characters is absolutely adorable, but it’s Kratos from God of War that really steals the show.

Canadian company Youtooz has revealed a new lineup of figures featuring beloved characters from popular PlayStation video games, and enthusiasts won’t have to wait much longer before these collectibles become available for purchase. Over the years, PlayStation has introduced memorable franchises that are exclusive to the platform, such as Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, and more recently, Astro Bot games. Previously, fans could acquire figures of Jin Sakai, Joel and Ellie, and even the Tallneck from the Horizon series through companies like Figma, Funko, and LEGO. Now, Youtooz aims to bring these renowned game characters to life using their distinctive designs.

Youtooz was established in 2019 and specializes in creating collectible caricatured vinyl figures based on licensed characters from various areas of pop culture. They’ve collaborated with popular internet figures such as Markiplier, Ninja, and Pokimane to bring a cute twist to franchises like “The Witcher”, “Fallout”, “Elden Ring”, among others. In the 2024 Game Awards nominations, the hit game “Astro Bot” was recognized as a potential Game of the Year, and its popularity as a PlayStation exclusive is reflected in Youtooz’s product lineup.

Excitedly, I learned via Youtooz’ Twitter that they’re introducing four new figures from the PlayStation universe! Astro Bot, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Kratos from God of War are joining the collection, with some figures stirring up nostalgia, much like their Banjo-Kazooie collectible did. These new additions will undoubtedly make stunning displays on our shelves when they go on sale, starting November 24 at 3 pm EST. Fans can secure their favorite figure through Youtooz’ official website.

Youtooz Announces Astro Bot, Kratos, and More Figures From PlayStation Collection

Youtooz figures give a charming look to well-known characters, accentuating their demeanor with endearing expressions. The cute, or chibi as it’s often called in Japan, style is quite popular in merchandise of pop culture, and the miniature figures for Baldur’s Gate 3 from WizKids take this a step further due to their smaller size. As Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, and Astro Bot are inherently adorable characters, Kratos stands out in the collection as he undergoes a significant change in his portrayal.

In the past, Ellie from The Last of Us Part 2 received a Nendoroid figure, but characters from Naughty Dog are absent in Youtooz’s PlayStation wave. However, they’ve hinted at future additions by asking their Twitter followers which other figures they’d like to see in the PlayStation collection, suggesting more characters could be on the way.
