Prime 1 Studio, a Japanese high-quality statue manufacturer known for its impressive scale and intricate details, will release the "Sam (Tar Black)" 1/3 scale bust as part of its "PREMIUM BUST" deluxe bust series, based on the popular game "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach." The suggested retail price is 48,290 JPY, and it is expected to be released between May and August 2026.
Developed by Kojima Productions, led by renowned game creator Hideo Kojima, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the PS5 action-adventure game "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach" continues the story of its predecessor. In search of connections with humanity beyond the nascent United Cities of America, legendary porter Sam Porter Bridges embarks on another solitary journey, this time across the post-apocalyptic Australian continent.
The "PREMIUM BUST Sam (Tar Black)" 1/3 scale bust is a conceptual bust with a tar black base color, showcasing Sam's new journey. Supervised by Hideo Kojima's studio, it faithfully recreates the breathtaking details from the game and uses exquisite sculpting techniques to realistically capture Norman Reedus's likeness in the game. Even with the dark tar color, one can still feel his gaze fixed on the distance. The various material textures of the armored suit and the Dollman doll in his hand are also meticulously reproduced! The heavy coloring further accentuates the sharpness of the details. The seemingly precarious tar dripping from the base further emphasizes the game's core keyword "connection," perfectly showcasing the game's worldview. For all players who have embarked on a journey with him, this is a collectible treasure!
