Bloodborne - Figures
Bloodborne is another creation from the developers that made Demon Souls and Dark Souls, though it is not directly connected to any other game in the series. It was originally released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in March 2015 and was received well by many players. Many fans enjoy the game for its dark gothic Victorian-style theme found in the city of Yharnam and its inhabitants. Figures that are inspired by the characters from Bloodborne all have a menacing appearance, yet have a refined air of elegance to them. Although it may not have as many figures as other more mainstream series, there are still a number of recreations of the Hunter and other notable characters that are available for purchase. Out of these, some of the most popular include the “Bloodborne; The Old Hunters: Hunter 1/6 Scale Statue”, the “Nendoroid Bloodborne Hunter”, and the “figma Bloodborne Hunter”.
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters: Hunter 1/6 Scale Figure
This figure of the Hunter stands ready for battle against any and all lycanthropes that may come his way with his Piercing Rifle in one hand and the Beasthunter Saif in the other. It also stands at a surprising 12.6 inches tall. Although it is not articulated, this recreation of the Hunter makes up for it with the amount of detail in the figure. Everything from the hat to the boots the Hunter wears gives off the refined air of Victorian fashion, making him both deadly and stylish. The base of the figure is also inspired by the area known as Hunter’s Nightmare, which appears in The Old Hunters DLC.

The Bloodborne Series Story
The entire story of Bloodborne is set in the city of Yharnam, which is stuck in a Victorian-era nightmare that is plagued with werewolves and blood magic. Much of the conflict found in Bloodborne revolves around something called “Old Blood”, which was originally believed to bring a plethora of positive advancements to those living in Yharnam. Although several impressive technologies were founded by using “Old Blood”, things quickly turned south after humans began turning into mindless lycanthropes. Following this unfortunate discovery, some characters believed that the “Old Blood” was the gateway to the next stage of evolution for humanity.
The Bloodborne Series Development
Bloodborne is a game that was published by Sony and developed by FromSoftware. Although the game was released for the PlayStation on March 24th, 2015, it was originally announced at Sony’s E3 2014 press conference. After the game’s release, the developers and producers were shocked by how well the game performed. In response to the impressive performance of Bloodborne, a pack of downloadable content named “The Old Hunters” was released in November 2015. This DLC featured new characters, weapons, outfits, and a new location named Hunter’s Nightmare.
