Dark Souls Officially Returns In New Collection

Dark Souls fans haven’t had a new mainline entry since the third game. Sure, FromSoftware has been working at a steady pace ever since, releasing a plethora of masterfully crafted soulslike experiences that far surpass the bar the studio set itself. However, as great as Elden Ring and Sekiro are, and as much as they are merely a continuation of everything Dark Souls established before them, they are not quite the same.

Fortunately, while we’re not getting new games, we are getting an abundance of new Dark Souls-related collectibles, merchandise, and expanded media releases. Among these is a brand-new collection that fans will absolutely want to check out. It joins the recent Dark Souls trilogy collection, which bundled the game’s three soundtracks in one premium product, as a release designed and targeted at fans. If you’ve been looking for even more Dark Souls merchandise, then this collection is for you.

The second wave of Dark Souls figures from FireLink are officially available. These join the now out-of-stock first wave, alongside a third additional set of figures, all of which reimagine iconic Dark Souls characters as chibi-esque designs. The first wave featured Oscar, The Knight of Astora, Fire Keeper, Dragon Slayer Ornstein, Artorias the Abysswalker, Solaire of Astora, and Siegward of Catarina. The second collection from FireLink similarly includes six distinct characters, none of which have previously been featured. The characters included in wave two of the Dark Souls figures are:

• Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (12.5cm tall)
• Dark Sun Gwyndolin (13cm tall)
• Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight (7cm tall)
• Silver Knight (11cm tall)
• Black Knight (11cm tall)
• Company Captain Yorshka (10cm tall)

These aren’t the only Dark Souls collectibles being released right now, but the sheer quantity of characters included in this collection is impressive. There are 18 characters to collect across all three waves, although, as aforementioned, if you haven’t already bought the first wave, you’re out of luck. You can purchase figures from across all three waves individually via blind boxes for around $17.99. However, you won’t know which one you’re getting until you’ve opened it. For those interested, the characters included in the third wave are:

• Faraam Knight
• Mimic
• Lucatiel
• Desert Sorceress
• Shanalotte
• Sir Alonne

If you want to buy the entire wave 2 collection of FireLink Dark Souls figures, you can do so from the official Bandai Namco website. It costs around $124.99 for the entire set, which means you’ll need to spend upwards of $375 in order to buy every single figure in the collection. Of course, you can just opt to get the wave that has your preferred characters if you’re not interested in completing this particular set of Dark Souls figures.

It is great for collectors that so many characters from across the trilogy are represented in this set, as it means that even more obscure NPCs will have their own figure. It isn’t clear how long these figures will remain available on the Bandai Namco store, or if they’ll eventually be restocked. Regardless, if you’ve been hankering after even more Dark Souls-related merchandise, then you should absolutely check out this new collection of figures.
