It seems like The Last of Us gets brought up from time to time as something some fans would want figures of but at this point they're not going to happen. It was just the one game and that was three years ago now so the time has passed. It's a great story and they're great characters but as toys they do seem like they'd have done poorly overall. Basically just because as toys they'd just be mucky normal looking people with weapons. Unless it's based on a hugely popular franchise a toy of a normal person never sells except to fans of the license. A good example is the Booker DeWitt figure from Bioshock Infinite. That was a hugely successful game but even for the protagonist's figure there wasn't enough of an overlap between people who buy figures and had played the game to greatly sell a figure of some guy from the turn of the century. Unfortunately for The Last of Us' heroes the game isn't a part of a large franchise like God of War or Uncharted and as character designs they're too normal to drum up hype in anyone who isn't familiar with the license.
