Gears of War Chainsawing it up in Chainsaw Town

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Gears of War 2 was one of my favorite games of last year, until Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 took over my life. Still, I can burn away hours on Horde mode, the multiplayer extravaganza that has you and your friends mowing down wave after wave of enemies, very easily since it’s so friggen fun. This upcoming two character set from NECA captures the brutal fun found in chainsawing your enemies to death, something that happens quite often in the game:

Oh that’s some sweet sauce. These figures are part of series three which also include a new Marcus Fenix, a COG soldier, a Theron Palace Guard, a Grappler, and a Cyclops.

Personally, I still need to get Cole before my life is complete. Oh sweet Cole, you complete me.

NECA’s 2008 Comic Con Exclusives

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

NECA recently released their list of San Diego Comic Con Exclusives for 2008 and Gears of War and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans rejoiced. For Gears of War NECA’s figure of choice is Carmine. He’s the “innocent kid” team member that gets his head blown off, which is coincidental since he’s the only one with a helmet. Is it really a coincidence though? No probably not, I always assumed that they didn’t want to waste a character model on a standard trooper who was only going to get killed.

The other cool exclusive that they announced was a three pack of mousers for their comic book inspired Teenage Mutant Turtles line. The kit also comes with a San Diego manhole cover, which is pretty cool. For a pic of the Mousers and the opinions of someone who is actually collecting the NECA TMNT figures, check out Poe Ghostal’s blog.

NECA’s Gears of War Wave Two

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Not too long ago NECA’s second wave of Gears of War figures was seen at Toy Fair. Well, in honor of the announcement that the game will be released this November I thought I’d put a couple of the pictures of the figs. I also like the game a lot so it was a good excuse as any.

This second wave will consist of super jerk General RAAM, Damon Baird, Dominic Santiago (who is the co-op character for those who want to collect the player characters). Picture courtesy of Big Bad Toy Store:
