Story time! So back in 2016 I saw the NECA Uncharted 4 Nathan Drake at Toys R Us once but I never had a Playstation console and thus never actually played the Uncharted games so it wasn't a figure I felt compelled to really look at. Then in 2018 they did a small redistribution through online stores but I was still only peripherally aware of this franchise so again I passed. Basically all that time when I didn't have a Playstation I would just watch certain full game playthroughs on youtube like a show (so The Last of Us was one of my favorite movies of 2013) but somehow the Uncharted series went under my radar of recommendations. Jump to 2020 and I'm living the quarantine lockdown life, but I am therefore given an abundance of free-time with which to occupy so I finally got myself a PS4. Pretty much all of the games I got were the exclusives and while doing so Uncharted 4 was one of them, being recommended as a "reason to have the console." So I finally got around to actually playing this series (admittedly I just watched the first 3 online to catch up for the 4th) and I outright loved it. Then I was all like "hey that's right NECA made a damn good figure of Nathan that I passed on like a chump," but upon checking online I saw how stupid expensive he had gotten on the aftermarket and all the obvious knockoff versions on eBay. I figured I'd just have to settle with having that bit of regret but then about a week ago on Twitter I saw various people sharing how NECA had put a lot of their old warehouse stock up on Costumes.com, so I gave them a look and was pleased to find Nathan Drake among the offerings and for a decent price. He was bumped up to the modern-ish $32 ultimate price but it's new condition so it's like if NECA just did a second re-issue, better than finding one "new" on the aftermarket or risking it with a cheap copy. This figure already received lots of praise years ago so I don't need to add any more but it's nice to get one myself all this time later. This wasn't a great story but it's over now, thanks for reading.
