There’s a few areas of fuzzy lines, and a few small instances of bleed over, but overall it looks pretty good. The paintwork on Atlas is all pretty clean. The design of the lower legs and feet also makes Atlas a bit wobbly, so he has a tendency to shelf dive. Again, like P-Body, the sculpt and design lead to some decreased articulation, which is annoying, but comes with the territory. All the details look spot on, which is really great.
It looks like a pretty straight recreation of Atlas’s design from the game.
Just like P-Body, Atlas features an all-new sculpt. I’m hesitant to move some pieces, given the fragility of the design. Possibly more, but it’s a bit hard to tell with this figure. Atlas is a little shorter than P-Body at just over 7 inches tall and he features 15 points of articulation.

I looked at P-Body yesterday, now let’s look at the other half of this dynamic robotic duo, Atlas!Ītlas was released in tandem with P-Body in the second series of Portal 2 figures from NECA. Christian’s already taken a look at his set, and now it’s time for me to look at mine. My brother Christian and I had a great time playing through the game, and we both wanted a set of the figures based on the Co-op mode’s stars, Atlas and P-Body. One of the best Co-op modes in recent years has to be Portal 2, which really hits home the need for the players to, you know, cooperate. One of the big things that does pull me into a game is multiplayer capability and cooperative modes. It’s not to say I don’t enjoy playing them, but I’m not devoted like some.
