Clicker, Joel & Ellie Vinyl Figurines – Compact Model Set
I picked this small Clicker, Joel & Ellie vinyl figure set because it looked like a budget-friendly, desk-friendly option for my growing “The Last of Us” collection. The promo photos showed clean paintwork and chibi-style proportions that seemed fun, and the price was so low I figured, why not?
Shipping took about three weeks to the US — a bit longer than average, but the figures arrived safely in a bubble-wrapped envelope. Out of the packaging, they were a little smaller than I expected, but the sculpting and painting were surprisingly decent. The Clicker’s fungus details had nice depth, and Joel’s tiny beard and backpack were cute.
Pros: affordable, decent paint quality for the price, light and compact. Cons: very small, a bit fragile (Ellie’s rifle bent slightly). US comparison: You won’t find licensed mini vinyls like this under $20 in the States. These were under $7. Expectations met? More or less. Not premium quality, but definitely fun for display.

Clicker, Joel & Ellie Vinyl Figures – Larger Collectible Set
This was the slightly larger version of the same characters in vinyl form. The main reason I grabbed this one too was to compare sizes and quality — and because the reviews said this version was a bit more polished.
Delivery was faster this time (about 12 days), and the figures came boxed, which helped protect them. They definitely look more refined. Ellie’s facial details are better, and Joel’s color scheme is more accurate. The Clicker is more grotesque (in a good way).
Pros: great value for display, better detail than the mini set. Cons: still not perfect paint apps, Joel’s pose is a bit stiff. US comparison: Vinyl collector sets like this would easily be $35–$50 at GameStop. I paid about $15. Expectations met? Actually exceeded. These look great on my shelf.

GameStop Exclusive Joel & Ellie + Clicker Set – #620 & #631
This set immediately grabbed me because I’m a sucker for numbered collectible vinyls. I was skeptical about whether these were authentic or replicas, but the reviews were glowing, so I went for it.
They arrived boxed, and honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference from the GameStop versions I’ve seen in person. The Clicker (#631) especially stood out — its detail and texture are excellent. Joel (#620) has his rifle and grim expression, and Ellie looks fierce.
Pros: collectible vibe, solid detail, good box condition. Cons: some box creasing from shipping, Ellie’s stand was missing. US comparison: These go for $40+ secondhand. Paid about $20 for the set. Expectations met? Yes, and even with minor flaws, I’m impressed.

NECA-Style Joel & Ellie Action Figures (18cm, 2-Piece)
I got these because I wanted posable figures that weren’t static vinyls. This pair looked a lot like NECA figures, so I was curious how close they’d come in quality.
Shipping was just over two weeks. The packaging was basic, but the figures themselves were individually wrapped. First impressions: surprisingly well-articulated, joints moved smoothly. Joel’s shotgun and Ellie’s bow were detailed, and their outfits looked fairly game-accurate.
Pros: posable, realistic style, great for display or stop-motion. Cons: facial sculpts could be better, joints slightly loose. US comparison: NECA versions would be $60+ — these were under $25. Expectations met? Definitely. Not official NECA, but 80% as good.

Joel & Ellie Game Figures – Deluxe Clicker Pack
This version of Joel and Ellie came with a Clicker and some fun extra accessories (backpack, brick, molotov). What sold me was the inclusion of the infected and the little extras for posing.
It came in a window box, which arrived dented, but the figures were untouched. The paint was slightly sloppier than in the photos, but forgivable. I really appreciated the molded details like Joel’s vest and Ellie’s flashlight.
Pros: nice accessory set, great for creative setups. Cons: some paint issues, plastic smells a bit out of the box. US comparison: Similar deluxe sets would retail $70+ — this was $28. Expectations met? Mostly. Packaging was a letdown, but contents delivered.

NECA “Ultimate” Joel & Ellie 2-Pack (Detailed Collector Version)
I was excited to try this more “serious” collector version. The photos showed more accurate likenesses and better articulation, so I had high hopes. And honestly? These blew me away.
The box was pristine. Figures came with weapons, backpacks, alternate hands, and even little tiny details like Joel’s broken watch and Ellie’s journal. They were heavy, well-built, and felt premium.
Pros: excellent detail, amazing accessories, premium feel. Cons: Ellie’s arm joint was stiff, took some careful bending. US comparison: A real NECA “Ultimate” would be $90+ — this set was under $35. Expectations met? Exceeded by far.

I wanted something wearable, and this Harajuku-style T-shirt looked like fun streetwear with bold graphics. Reviews said the print was long-lasting, so I gave it a shot.
Shipping took 16 days. Sizing ran a bit small (definitely go one size up), but the fabric was surprisingly soft. The print was vibrant and had a cool grunge-art style. After washing twice, it hasn’t faded yet.
Pros: cool design, comfy material, print holds up. Cons: sizing inconsistency, slight vinegar smell at first. US comparison: Similar printed tees from fandom shops go for $25–30. This was $9. Expectations met? Yes — especially after washing.

This acrylic stand was a total impulse buy. I wanted something to decorate my work desk, and this looked sleek and subtle enough without screaming “gamer.”
It arrived flat-packed in protective film. Assembly was easy — just two pieces. The colors were clean, and the print was crisp, no pixelation. It looks like glass from a distance, which I love.
Pros: clean design, easy setup, lightweight. Cons: small size, could be more stable with thicker base. US comparison: Acrylic merch like this can be $15–20 here — I paid $4. Expectations met? Completely. Perfect little collector’s piece.

I Love My Boyfriend/Girlfriend Keychain – Joel & Ellie Edition
This keychain made me laugh — it’s cute and tongue-in-cheek, especially for couples who love “The Last of Us.” I bought both versions to match with a friend.
They came in a tiny plastic pouch. The metal was decent quality, not flimsy. The engraving was clean, and the ring was strong enough to hold keys securely. The “I love my boyfriend/girlfriend” tags were a fun touch.
Pros: charming, well-made, nice gift. Cons: smaller than expected, lightweight. US comparison: Pop culture keychains like this go for $10–12. These were $2 each. Expectations met? Yes — great stocking stuffer.

Joel & Ellie Action Figures with 19 Accessories – Deluxe Collector Set
This was the big one — a full collector’s set with 6″ figures and a wild number of accessories. I had doubts about quality with so many pieces included, but I was genuinely shocked when I opened the box.
The accessories were packed in individual slots: bottles, molotovs, guns, flashlight, guitar — even Joel’s backpack opened! The figures were balanced and poseable, with decent articulation.
Pros: tons of accessories, high play/display value, durable. Cons: minor molding imperfections, needed a quick wipe-down. US comparison: A deluxe collector set like this could easily go for $100+. I paid $38. Expectations met? Surpassed — fantastic set for fans.
US $29.24
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I expected mixed results, but every item exceeded what I thought AliExpress could deliver — especially at these prices. Some figures had slight paint flaws or packaging issues, but nothing major. Overall, I’m super satisfied and would absolutely recommend these to fellow collectors or fans of “The Last of Us.” I’m already planning my next haul — maybe some “God of War” or “Cyberpunk” merch next. AliExpress just gained a repeat customer.
