Nathan Drake, the star of Sony's Uncharted video game series, has found his way into Funko's Pop! line and is currently available for pre-order.
The figure is based on Nate's appearance in the upcoming Uncharted 4: Thief's End (aka the biggest reason thus far to own a ps4) and features the intrepid explorer holding a rope with a grappling hook. (Possibly so he can climb onto your shelves?) While I'm a little surprised that we haven't seen a Pop! Nathan Drake before, he should be a good companion to any number of Pop! Kratos figures.
Funko's Pop! Nathan Drake can be pre-ordered for US$10 and has an expected March release.

Gecco Corp recently released images of its upcoming 1/6-scale Ultraman, now also available for pre-order. The statue will feature interchangeable arms with a Spacium Blade, an interchangeable unmasked head, and glowing LED elements.
This surprisingly cool-looking Ultraman statue stands roughly 33-cm tall (which is about 13-inches) and sports some amazingly crisp paint. As an added bonus, the interchangeable masked head can be placed in Ultraman's arm as an optional accessory.
Gecco's Ultraman can be pre-ordered for around ¥36,800 and is slated to release in May.

Diamond Comic Distributors recently released (via ToyNewschest) a list of its top 100 best-selling collectibles for 2015. Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly?), it's topped by an old favorite: DST's Marvel Select Deadpool!
First released in 2010, the Marvel Select Deadpool has since top 10'd quite a few yearly and monthly bestseller lists. I suppose it's an ongoing testament to the character's popularity, the craftsmanship of the figure, and its general availability. (Editor's note: I still don't own one myself!)
Coming in second was the Batman: The Animated Series Batmobile (designed to fit the 6-inch figures), followed by the Joker and Harley Quinn statue, figma Skyward Sword Link, and the Batman: Arkham Knight Batman.
