AHorizonfan recently shared a beautifully handcrafted doll of franchise protagonist Aloy that they were gifted for their birthday. In recent years, theHorizoncommunity has been just as creative as the robotic dinosaurs that attracted so much attention to the IP, this creation acting only as further evidence of that.
Horizonsaw the series' second entry earlier this year withHorizon Forbidden West, which released to critical acclaim. Many believed that while the sequel toHorizon Zero Dawndid not reinvent the franchise,Horizon Forbidden Westwas an excellent iteration and subsequent improvementon what came before, with facial animations, melee combat, and the means of exploration often noted as having been significantly developed upon. Unfortunately,Horizon Forbidden Westwas somewhat overshadowed byElden Ring’s release just one week later, with the latest title by FromSoftware dominating online gaming culture and discourse for months. In spite of this, there exists a substantialHorizoncommunity that adored the game, with Aloy continuing to be a fan favorite character.

It is no surprise that anythingrevolving around Aloy would be highly sought after, but one talented fan took this into their own hands and the result can be seen in a Reddit post by u/Joodyka. The image presents an expertly handcrafted Aloy doll, equipped with her bow, traditional outfit, and signature hairstyle. Replies to the post are in agreement that the doll is exquisitely made, demonstrating significant talent.

Some joked that the doll would sneak around at night and override appliances, or leave shock traps strewn across the house, one of themany tools in Aloy’s arsenal throughoutHorizon.
TheHorizonfranchise is much beloved and has been successful broadening out to different mediums. As one of the most recognizable creature designs fromHorizon,the Tallneck had a LEGO set releasedat the same timeHorizon Forbidden Westarrived, and there has been recent news of a TV series set in theHorizonuniverse that is currently in production. Furthermore, recent reporting has alluded to the existence of not only a multiplayerHorizongame but a remake of the original, which has greatly confused the gaming community. WithHorizon Zero Dawnonly 5 years old, many believe this to be an unnecessary allocation of PlayStation resources and even less justifiable than the recentTheLast of Us Part 1remake.
Horizon Forbidden Westis available now on PS4 and PS5.
