Yep, you read that right. You can now purchase your very own "action figures" of the characters from Mike Bithell's BAFTA award-winning Thomas Was Alone.

You can buy a pack of four characters, Thomas, Claire, Chris, and John, all modelled to accurately represent their in-game equivalents.

Which means they are literally just small pieces of square or rectangular plastic, no bigger than 3.2cm. Claire even floats, to match her special ability in the game.

The action figures are signed by both Mike Bithell, the game's designer, and Kerry Dyer, the sculptor who made the models a reality.

We gave Thomas Was Alone our Silver Award, with our reviewer calling it an "eminently entertaining slab of balanced indie-platforming fun."

So if you enjoyed the game as much as we did, you might want to pick up your figures from Kerry Dyer's store. Be quick though, as there's only limited availability.

Or check out the game on Google Play or the App Store if you haven't already and want to understand what all the hype is about.
