Death and Azazel from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth to Get YouTooz Figures
YouTooz has announced the upcoming pre-order availability for new vinyl figures inspired by the popular game The Binding of Isaac. Fans will be able to purchase collectible figures of Death and Azazel, along with unique character collector cards included in the set.
YouTooz continues to delight fans of games created by game designer Edmund McMillen. Pre-orders for these vinyl figures of Death and Azazel from the roguelike The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will open on May 17th at 10:00 PM MSK (Moscow Standard Time).
Each collectible figure will be priced at $29.99. The Death figure stands 8.6 cm tall and depicts the boss riding an skeletal steed.
Death wields a massive scythe in its left hand, and its dark gray head is twisted into a terrifying smile, revealing massive teeth. Empty eyes gaze out from beneath thick brow ridges.
The 9.6 cm tall Azazel figure, representing one of the playable characters, stands atop a pile of coal. Its face features a toothy, malevolent grin and bright red eyes, while a pair of horns protrudes from its bluish-black hair.
Its small, dark gray body features rounded palms extended forward, and sharp, black-webbed wings are spread behind its shoulders. Shipping of the figures is scheduled to begin in June 2026. Buyers will also receive special collector cards as a bonus.
