Pre-orders for the Pop! Vinyl figures of four characters from the video game "Horizon: Zero Dawn" is now available at Amazon.

Announced last August in the Funko site, the vinyl figures from the post-apocalyptic action role-playing game (ARPG) from Guerilla Games include the title character Aloy, Erend (Vanguard of the Oseram tribe), a member of the Eclipse Cult and the scout, Watcher.

The figures will have an official release on Nov. 10 in North America with a price tag of $10.99. Each figure stands at 3 ¾ inches and are designed to mimic the appearance of the characters from "Horizon: Zero Dawn" but with the distinctive figure stylization of Funko Pop! figures.

Although rendered in cartoon-like features, slayer of giant dinosaur-looking robots Aloy has a strange image accuracy to the video game. Gamers will immediately identify the character from the hairstyle and color as well as the clothes. Funko Pop! Aloy is seen wielding her half-drawn bow, as if getting ready to take aim and shoot.

Erend's figure shared the same strange accuracy to the game character. Like Aloy, this Pop! figure's attention to detail have been impressing fans since its August reveal. The Eclipse Cultist figure looks just as scary as the ones seen in the game. The figure is seen wearing the cult garb and a full facemask.

The last figure, the robotic scout, Watcher had some fans saying that the figure was not scaled correctly to match the other characters in the toy line. However, it is still a fan-favorite to some since the figure has captured the essence of the character very well.

Like most Pop! figures packaging, "Horizon: Zero Dawn" boxes have large front side plastic windows, as well as in the left side to show buyers exactly what they will be getting. The box art is just a blow-up image of the figure.
