Dark Horse Direct and Naughty Dog are back with another piece from the infected side of The Last of Us, and this one goes straight for the throat. After the Ellie with Switchblade and Joel with Brick busts sold out, the line continues with a new entry built around one of the series most recognizable threats, the Clicker.
We don’t even wanna start on the first time we hear that clicking while playing “The Last Of Us.” The moment that clicking starts up in the distance, everything else stops mattering. You listen. You freeze. You start planning your exit without even thinking about it. That tension is what made the infected such a defining part of the franchise, and the Clicker still sits at the top of that nightmare hierarchy.
The new Clicker Bust stands 8.5 inches tall and shows a third stage infected mid lunge, arm stretched forward, body warped with decayed tactical gear and cordyceps growths crawling across its frame. The base is built like a broken slab of concrete overtaken by fungal spread, the kind of environment that feels one step away from collapsing entirely. It was designed by Substance Model Works, and the level of detail leans fully into the body horror side of the series without holding anything back.
Limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, the bust is individually hand numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity. Price is set at $149.99 with a shipping window currently listed between November 2026 and January 2027.
Dark Horse Direct notes this as the third major release in their The Last of Us bust line, following previous sell outs of Ellie and Joel. Each release has focused on a different side of the world Naughty Dog built, and this one shifts fully into the infected, where things stop feeling like survival horror and start feeling like something closer to inevitability.
The Clicker has always worked because it is not just a monster design. It is what happens when everything already went wrong and kept going anyway.
For collectors, this is another entry that will not sit around long. Once it is gone, it is gone.
