When I first heard of Death Stranding, I wasn't sure I'd like the game, but I was wrong. I fell in love with the artwork, the storyline and, of course, Sam Porter Bridges. So, when I heard Good Smiles was making a Sam doll, I had to have one. But I had to wait until now to buy him. He was the perfect Christmas gift. He looks exactly like my favorite actor, Norman Reedus of the Walking Dead. He comes with his hair brushed back and into a manbun, but it wasn't hard to change his head so Sam has his Reedus shaggy hair style. And the tiny replica of BB is nicely detailed. The only two downsides are the backpack's a little tricky to get on unless you use the manbun hairstyle and there are tons of little pieces so I suggest keeping them in the box. Lastly, he does stand very well with the aid of the brace and he is a must for your Good Smiles collection.
