Seong Gi-hun Is Back—And So Is His Hot Toys Figure for ‘Squid Game’ Season 2
2 min read
It’s been nearly two months since Squid Game Season 2 dropped, and while it didn’t quite hit the same nerve-wracking heights as the first season, it still managed to pull in some solid scores—83% from critics and 63% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
This season sees Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) stepping back into the twisted world of Squid Game, this time with a bigger mission: to shut the whole thing down. And what better way to celebrate his return than with a brand-new, incredibly detailed Hot Toys figure?
Hot Toys Brings Player 456 Back in Style
Hot Toys is no stranger to crafting ultra-realistic collectibles, and their latest release is a treat for Squid Game fans. The new Seong Gi-hun figure captures him in his iconic Player 456 green tracksuit, complete with a square-symbol mask, a six-legged pentathlon game, and a special base designed to replicate the show’s signature staircase—the one where every color and step reminds you that survival is never guaranteed.
And while Hot Toys has been busy flooding the market with Marvel collectibles (including a new Sam Wilson Captain America figure from Brave New World and a Wesley Snipes Blade from Deadpool & Wolverine), this marks the first-ever Hot Toys release for Squid Game—making it a must-have for collectors.
What’s Next for the ‘Squid Game’ Universe?
If you’re already bracing for another cliffhanger, Squid Game fans can breathe easy knowing that Netflix has officially announced Season 3, set to drop on June 27.
But there’s a twist—this will be the final season of the hit series. However, that doesn’t mean the Squid Game universe is coming to an end. Legendary director David Fincher (Se7en, Zodiac, The Killer) is currently working on an American Squid Game project, though details are still being kept under wraps. Meanwhile, original show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted that he wants to be involved in whatever comes next.
Where to Buy the New Seong Gi-hun Hot Toys Figure
