Undertale Sans & Papyrus Figurines Fill Us With Determination
Good Smile Company has announced that Sans and Papyrus from Toby Fox's Undertale will have their own Nendoroid figurines for sale in the U.S., with more details on the announcement coming soon. The humorous skeleton brothers are two of dozens of colorful characters introduced to fans in the smash hit indie game, many of whom have returned in Deltarune Chapter 1 and will likely appear in subsequent chapters.
Toby Fox previously announced plans for a Deltarune Chapter 1 Stream on Undertale's birthday, which broadcasts today, September 15th, on YouTube at 7 p.m ET, 4 p.m PT. The creator will give commentary via text-to-chat as he joins three employees from Undertale's development company Fangamer. Speculation has arisen suggesting that Fox and company could announce the shadow release of Deltarune Chapter 2 during the stream to commemorate the occasion. Deltarune Chapter 1 released online back in 2018, and aside from merchandise announcements and the occasional screenshot, the developer has yet to expand upon the story of Kris, Suzy and Ralsei. Fox originally announced that the second chapter would likely release before 2020 ends, but this did not come to pass.
Good Smile Company has posted on Twitter about its plans for Sans and Papyrus Nendoroids, sharing digital sketches of the skeleton brothers in the Nendoroid style and promising more information in the near future. The figurine company releases models for iconic Anime, film and video game characters alike. Papyrus and Sans make for two of the most memorable characters in the original game, the latter having demonstrated his crossover appeal on multiple occasions. As an example, Sans and his theme Megalovania appeared in the AEW thanks to wrestler Kenny Omega.
Ahead of Fox's Deltarune stream, the creator has also shared pictures of new Undertale stickers fans can purchase. These also feature the likes of Papyrus and Sans, along with Frisk the human and the Annoying Dog. Fans of Fox's games have questioned for awhile now about when Deltarune Chapter 2 will drop. Tonight's stream may answer that question. Since the release of Chapter 1, speculation has also extended to the question of whether fans may see an Undertale 2 at some point, though Fox has described mixed emotions in the past regarding the first game's wild success. Portions of the Undertale fanbase have proven problematic at times, overreacting to people who don't enjoy the game. Fans are more likely to hear news about the future of Deltarune than to get an answer to the question of will there be an Undertale 2.
Undertale and Deltarune Chapter 1 have several exciting developments coming in the near future, between tonight's stream and what it may announce, the Sans and Papyrus Nendoroids, and the new Undertale stickers. Some might say these announcements fill them with determination.
