Dark Horse's The Last of Us: Joel Bust Showcases His Dangerous Side

Dark Horse's Ellie bust finally has a companion.

Last year, IGN got an exclusive first look at Dark Horse's The Last of Us: Ellie bust, based on the iconic character's appearance in the original game. But where Ellie goes, her protector Joel usually isn't far behind. Now we can exclusively reveal Dark Horse's companion piece, The Last of Us: Joel with Brick Bust.

This bust is based on Joel's appearance in the original game, as he wields his trusty brick as a makeshift weapon in the postapocalyptic wasteland. Sculpting, prototyping, and paint were handled by Substance Model Works. Here's Dark Horse's official description of the bust:

Clutching the ever-reliable brick, Joel stands battle-worn yet determined, clad in his signature green flannel and weathered backpack. Whether used as a weapon or a well-timed distraction, the brick is an essential tool in Joel’s fight for survival. Joel stands 8.5” tall atop a concrete base riddled with bullet holes, cracks, and moss.

The Joel with Brick Bust is designed to pair with the now-sold-out Ellie with Switchblade Bust. Joel is limited to 1000 units worldwide and will be sold exclusively on the Dark Horse Direct website. He's priced at $149.99 and is slated for release between October and December 2025.
