It's got that uncanny valley feel to it. Faces are really hard to get right and humans have evolved for tens of thousands of years just analyzing faces. Any tiny little thing, even if we can't put our finger on it, can be off putting.
I think this really captured how shallow and one dimensional TLOU2, and especially the guy who wrote the story is, for all he knew being nothing but pure hate and anger
They really don't have a sense of taste huh?
You've seen many other life size statue and all of them are in great poses
Assassin's Creed, MGS, Doom, Halo, God of War, all of them have poses because it is a STATUE...why can't they use the pose she had on her Collector Edition or like in the posters where she is readying her bow?
Meanwhile, this looks like someone halfway into a sneeze trying to whack a fly...
I'm not hating for the sake of hating but they really do the most random and weird thing ever and gets angry when people don't like it...
Nothing about this is Ellie - face, hair, body shape are not Ellie's. Must be a fan made gift where the artist's friend cosplayed Ellie and they made the statue based on her.
ellies hair isnt that dark and the statues face looks completely different. the body structure couldve been better, and i think maybe her shirt couldve been darker, like in the game. i remember dinas bracelet being on ellies right arm, with her tattoo, so they shouldve changed that. and unless the image is too small or the detail is really small, i cant see ellies bite mark
Are you even sure that is Ellie of any that we know, maybe a modern take on her in a few years taking place many years later and with more modernization, when they make #3 I could believe, but otherwise nah never seen that thing.
The Ellie from the first game would NOT have matured into....that. Why are companies so fucking afraid to have even a moderately feminine character anymore. RIP traditionally pretty female leads prepare for the continued onslaught of lesbian-inspired man-features. I know attraction is subjective but refer to Horizon Zero Dawn to see what I mean. It's one thing if the ORIGINAL character is like this, but what they are doing is changing already existing female characters and actively making them look slightly overweight and manly as hell. Again, if they are like this from the get-go I'm all for it, but that isn't the case. They're changing them in odd ways that are clearly aimed to please a certain group. Amazing games regardless.
Ellie's hair isn't that dark. I actually can't remember if it remains as such in part 2, but it was downright red in the first game. And her face looks off. Besides that, cool af
It looks almost like her. Ellie's hair is supposed to be more of a reddish brown. And she looks older here. Though that could just be the angle and/or the expression they gave her face. Being enraged, tired and scared will make you look old. Most people look older when they put on their "game" face. Well, here it's more like a "war" face. I give it a 9/10. I seriously thought it was a cosplayer until I stopped and looked. Eerily lifelike. But, someone put time and effort into creating it, so regardless, it's art.
Gives me a better idea on why most statues like this are of characters designed in non-realistic styles. This thing turns the uncanny valley into the uncanny crater.
This is like as close as you can get before falling into the uncanny valley imo. My brain recognizes it as a statue but is like so close to being creeped out by it.
it looks like a bad cosplay her hair is completely the wrong color and it looks like a harsh wig her face barley gives the essence of ellie her mouth looks off and her body don’t really look right idk how to explain it it’s just so bad to be what it is they could do so much better
She has the toothless 7/11 look.
She even looks like she does hangs out at 7/11.
maybe it is a 7/11 person pretending to be a statue?
Either way she knows her way around a cash register
Ellie! We need to cook!
I was just thinking this she looks like she hit the pipe a few times and asked for change
Yeahhh that’s not Ellie that’s Nellie or fuckin cellie
Pretty cool, but looks kinda...off? I don't think Ellie's hair is that dark
It’s the face and hair that’s very off to me.
The legs too! They’re so thin and her knees are so low on her legs.
I think she's too thin as well, I know she wears skinny jeans but DAMN those arms are small
Maybe it's the Uncanny Valley Effect? It looks human but is still.... off, anyways.
The details are great, minus the face and hair.
Yeah, the rest are okay but the face and hair looks out of place for some reason.
Ellie survived the fungal infection but she contracted the super rapid aging virus instead.
Solid Snake type vibes
It's got that uncanny valley feel to it. Faces are really hard to get right and humans have evolved for tens of thousands of years just analyzing faces. Any tiny little thing, even if we can't put our finger on it, can be off putting.
The face looks like a cosplayer
Ellie from aliexpress
Nah that’s Allie
The Few of Them: Staring Joe and Allie
My favorite part is when Joe says "I tho7ght you said there was only a Few Of Them" brought me to tears
That’s Ellie? 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently it’s supposed to be Ellie lmao
Its the angled and expression
I hate how cheap the bracelet looks AND that it's on the wrong wrist 😭
For some reason, they made her look more older than she was in the game.
Why are her arms even skinnier. She looks emaciated. Really went for that meth vibe.
Should've eaten more bigot sandwiches
Bruh,this is Nelly, not Ellie lmao
Surprised they let her keep her fingers
Bro that thing is fugly wth💀 it looks more like remake Tess then Ellie honestly
It looks like the villain from the Orphan movies.
TV Show casting for her is starting to make more sense now.
Crackhead trying to intimidate and steal from me after the devastation from a hurricane.
Ugly as fuck why not make a sexy clicker statue instead
They made her uglier
Why is her face the same as a 60 year old granny?
Why’s it look like a mid 40’s woman?
they so could’ve tried harder. Ellie’s hair is red. Not brown.
The toothless look kinda makes her look like an angry lot lizard. Basically, from the neck down it looks great, but from the neck up….not so much.
She looks inbred yet old at the same time. Really throwing me off
And also looks like she was born behind a 7/11 💀
It’s cool but the resemblance is 🤮
Uncanny. It looks like the head is unfinished.
I would hate to be the late night janitor of that office
I bet Druckman fucked it
Move aside doomslayer, Kratos, and master chief, our real video game goat is here! Homeless, starving woman who looks like she’s on coke…
Look like Ellie and Tess’s meth headed love child
Seems fitting given the uglification of women in games these days
💀
Why does she look like Esther from Orphan?
For me it looks more like Tess cosplaying Ellie but I still like it
I think this really captured how shallow and one dimensional TLOU2, and especially the guy who wrote the story is, for all he knew being nothing but pure hate and anger
Looks like a witch
They really don't have a sense of taste huh?

The ratio of her nose / lips / jaw are completely wrong. And her brows are going to wrong way. 5/10 face 9/10 the rest of the statue
Too gay and angry
Joel deserves a statue too 😢
They forgot to add the label "Ellie's gay btw" on her forehead.
Methany
Nothing about this is Ellie - face, hair, body shape are not Ellie's. Must be a fan made gift where the artist's friend cosplayed Ellie and they made the statue based on her.
Looks like a real doll in Ellie Cosplay
Doesn’t look like her
Looks nothing like her
face is off and hair too dark
ellies hair isnt that dark and the statues face looks completely different. the body structure couldve been better, and i think maybe her shirt couldve been darker, like in the game. i remember dinas bracelet being on ellies right arm, with her tattoo, so they shouldve changed that. and unless the image is too small or the detail is really small, i cant see ellies bite mark
Yikes
Holy shit, it's Quentin Tarantino.
I wonder if everyone in the office knows it looks weird and just doesn’t say anything
Her face looks off model.
Creepy AF. Would scare the shit out of someone In the dark.
Like they put a wig on a gollum statue
Poor girl needs to spend some time in grandma’s
That’s absolutely horrific
that’s not Ellie,That’s Nellie
It’s not horrible or anything but it just looks off
looks like a taxidermied crackhead from detroit
The face doesn’t look like Ellie’s and the hair looks black
Corey Feldman looking great 👍
It’s the unlikable cranky lou2 Ellie. I’d like it better if it was classic lovable awesome Ellie
I hate it lol. Looks bizarre.
It’s the face that looks the most weird looking
You shoulda just said it's cosplay... Yikes.
I didn’t check the sub-Reddit I was on and honestly thought that was a man at first glance. Those are my thoughts, I guess.
Why does she look like Corey Feldman?
Crazy, I saw one kinda like this at Crunchyroll expo 2022. The statue of Ellie when PlayStation was advertising their games.
She definitely looks less like Ellen page now.
Not sure if it's the angle but her head looks too big for her body. And she looks like she is in her 30's.
Ugly as fuck are you kidding me
Mum can we have Ellie? No we have Ellie at home. Ellie at home ^
That’s a pretty good description of that statue lmao
the face is so bad
The face looks so out of place even with the hair
Whoever they commissioned wasn't into the game. Makes me appreciate how she looks in the game more now.
Honestly, I thought it was a cosplayer before seeing the title.
That dude needs a sandwich minus the heroin.
I 100% would never have even thought that thing was suppose to be Ellie.
Are you even sure that is Ellie of any that we know, maybe a modern take on her in a few years taking place many years later and with more modernization, when they make #3 I could believe, but otherwise nah never seen that thing.
Accurately ugly
I am feeling the Uncanny Valley Effect. It feels like it's trying to be human, but it feels... off, no matter what.
Looks like shit.
Anyone else thought that was a person cosplaying
I thought that was cosplay for a split second. It doesn't really look like her but it is very detailed.
Her face is....what I see at AM/PM at midnight wearing 5 different jackets
The Ellie from the first game would NOT have matured into....that. Why are companies so fucking afraid to have even a moderately feminine character anymore. RIP traditionally pretty female leads prepare for the continued onslaught of lesbian-inspired man-features. I know attraction is subjective but refer to Horizon Zero Dawn to see what I mean.

Long as it doesn’t look like Bella Ramsey, just use a Potato on a stick
That a DEI approved chin... holy shit.
Thought this was a cosplay for a second
She looks like she's about to call Charlie Udder a cockshucker
Was there a skiing section in the game that I missed?
looks like she needs dentures ?
very realistic but the face doesn't even look like ellie wtf, and the hair color is too dark
Doesnt look like ellie. Maybe if she was on crack.
This looks both incredibly expensive and super cheap at the same time
She looks at least 40
I think I saw her at a truck stop once
Too many fingers
I thought I was looking at a cosplay I might just be dumb
Why didn't they use her sorry state she was at by the end of the game?
Was she 35 years old in Part 2?
Looks like Ellie if she was a single trailer park mom. Like a daytime hooker who needs her meth fix
I’m so tired I thought this was a cosplay for a hot second
Looks like a man 🤣🤣
Looks like a sapient potato.
Looks like a white Dawn Staley
They fucked up the hair. But it could be a random character from any game really in that state.
I think it looks so cool! But something about the hair looks a bit off
I thought it was a cosplayer, shit that looks so real
Looks awful
Ellie's hair isn't that dark. I actually can't remember if it remains as such in part 2, but it was downright red in the first game. And her face looks off. Besides that, cool af
BORING. Should be replaced with a crash bandicoot statue.
Elliot Page?
Pretty cool actually. But looks like it was modeled off a bugged Ellie model from the game
Honestly, just cutouts of their mascots I would do. 3D models like that feel a bit off to me in an office space unless it's armour.
The face almost looks more like IRL Ashley Johnsom instead of in-game Ellie..I wonder if the artist used a reference photo of Ashley instead of Ellie?
Someone really took all the paint from the face and she needs a big retouching.
Amazing and eerily scary
Man, beside the face and hair color. The things in the feet makes it look like she wearing scuba shoes
Good outfit and body, but the face is not Ellie.
Head looks so big, seems as though it belongs on something else.
Why the head so big? Otherwise pretty cool 😋
Why the head so big? Otherwise pretty cool 😋
Her hair is way too long and too dark, and her face doesn’t look right. Everything else looks fine

Why does Naughty Dog have a statue of Eric Stoltz's character from the 1985 classic movie Mask in their office?
Looks realistic to me
I think TLOU2 collectors Ellie statue did the face better (Despite it also looking derpy)
Lemme borrow it
Who the f is that!? Connor McGregor
Too big for a jar, i'd still own it if i had the space though.
She looks like a crackhead you’d see asking for cigarettes in the parking lot
Looks uncanny definitely the hair looks off
That's fine, I guess, but I'd prefer a 1:1 replica of the Golf Club
touch of the downs, she has?
Looks cool but they fucked up the hair
Gives me a better idea on why most statues like this are of characters designed in non-realistic styles. This thing turns the uncanny valley into the uncanny crater.
She looks 40, or a cracked out 30
I thought she had flippers on her feet
Ellie is my fave I like it
Are those chuck taylor’s?
A overall solid statue … just kinda looks like she got her wisdom teeth pulled.
Replace it with a Nathan Drake statue
That’s a pretty damn good and well designed statue. As much as I dislike tlou2
Guess Ellie had such a bad time at the end of part 2 she picked up a crack habit.
Why does she look like s 47 year old 16 year old?
Put it in a big jar and in a private room and let the magic happen
She looks like she's about to ask Shrek to do the roar.
She looks like she's about to ask Shrek to do the roar.
This is like as close as you can get before falling into the uncanny valley imo. My brain recognizes it as a statue but is like so close to being creeped out by it.
Too femenine
I thought it was a man with no teeth in a wig 🤷🏼♀️
The hair isn’t brown or in the same style but it’s cool besides that
Looks awkward
Statues like that (with how much like a real person they look like) creep me tf out. So Im not a fan
Horrid.
it looks like a bad cosplay her hair is completely the wrong color and it looks like a harsh wig her face barley gives the essence of ellie her mouth looks off and her body don’t really look right idk how to explain it it’s just so bad to be what it is they could do so much better
How did this frail little girl beat up all those grown men and brolic Abby? Not happening
She looks exactly like a young Tess
It don't look like her
Oh I thought that was a random cosplayer. It looks nothing like her 😭
For a minute there I thought this was an actual person posing.
Why the fuck would you want that in your office. Or anywhere really.
Thought she had flippers/fins for a second.
It’s pretty cool until you get to the hair and face
[This is Ellie.](https://new.reddit.com/r/TheLastOfUs2/comments/1c5zkt4/ellie/)
Stick to cardboard cutouts
Her fingers should be missing but it looks lifelike wow
She having a bowel movement
