New WoW, Gears Of War Figures For Your Adult Bookshelf
Fans of either Gears of War or World of Warcraft (or both!) will be happy to know there’s now more things to spend their disposable income on, with the release of some new figures.
The latest additions to NECA’s line of Gears of War line feature a Lambent soldier (which is a San Diego Comic Con exclusive), along with two new figures depicting Marcus & Dom in their Theron disguises, a premise pulled from the upcoming All Fronts singleplayer expansion.
For World of Warcraft addicts, meanwhile, there are two new figures: the Gnome Warlock Valdremar and the Orc Warchief Thrall. These won’t be out until January 2010, so there’s plenty of time to scrape some cash together from what’s left of your paycheck after WoW subscription day rolls around.

@Chaosrayne:
Yeah, I recently brought UT3 and noticed that instantly. When the new Gears map pack was first announced I looked at the picture and thought UT.
@Ashkan.: Good one! :)
@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): What a convuluted post.
The red guy looks like a vagina. Complete with clitoris and all.
Ashkan.
@MasterNinja:
haha that was funny :D
@gessyca: Side note- you mentioned figureprints, and man, I gotta say... I really want one, but I keep waiting for a tier of warrior gear that I don't hate. Ever since I got Titan's Grip, it seemed like a figureprint would be guaranteed badass (two seven foot long swords? Hell yeah!), but tier 7 and 8 both look awful for warriors. Just wanted to voice my complaint.
@sentroshi: Someone should mod that into the PC version, or UT3. Not just Marcus, but all the characters and enemies. After all, there was that Lego mod for UT3.

@Chaosrayne: I remember McFarlane had this line of movie character figures they released in the 90s. They had Brundlefly, that thing from that guy's chest from The Thing, and my favourite that I found, Shaft! Do they still have those?
I mostly collect Transformers nowadays.

@namyr26: I agree iam still waiting for dizzy and the rest of the supporting characters from gow2 and they go and release some from the expansion. Concerning the single player if i was to bet id say since its just a chapter about 20 minutes less maybe. And finally even though iam a huge gears fan they do look odd as hell in those suits.

*put's on douche cap*
Does anyone still play Halo?
(Reader thinks to self: LOL wut?)
ME: ...what just happened? :(
@MasterNinja:
"But son - I think it's time we have a little talk... me and your mom are both concerned about you not having any girlfriends, and the amount of to-uh, plastic figures you own has skyrocketed..."
"It's time we talked. About women."
@Chaosrayne: THEY'RE NOT TOYS, MOM, THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES! GOD, GET OUT OF MY ROOM!
@MasterNinja:
THESE PLASTIC TOYS ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN
ONLY I MAY PLAY WITH THESE COLLECTOR'S EDITION NEVER-REMOVED-FROM-BOX 1/8 SCALE DOLLS
Not exactly what I'd expect to find on an "adult" bookshelf.
@sentroshi: Are you kidding? That's the most accurate representation of Marcus Fenix I've ever seen!
@Kenny:
Meathead, thy name is Unreal Engine 3.
Why is it that Japan gets sexy plastic figures of girls and the West gets hideous Locust and monster figurines?
Not that I've got anything against monster figurines or McFarlane toys.
@Kenny:
I believe his name is Reaper
@sentroshi: That would be Imagine! Gearz of War Babiez!
@gessyca: There's no Tauren there, hell this article even says "and the Orc Warchief Thrall."

That voidwalker looks mighty sweet.
I haven't played Gears 2 since december. For some odd reason, i didn't play it as long as i did the original. But i had some funny moments with Horde mode.
I blame L4D.

I have a Dom and Marcus figure. Hopefully I can go to Comic Con and pick up the Lambent Locust.
Too bad I missed on on Anthony Carmine from last year. He is so expensive now.

Huh, I would have expected the All fronts expansion and stuff to come out first before releasing merchandise. I guess it does help hype it up though. I really feel that they look a bit awkward in those suits though. XD
Anyone have any idea how much gametime the single player expansion should add?

Something doesn't add up here. (All the same, if I read through the Gears of War book, I'd quit reading altogether too)

@Kenny:
I always thought that! I've been wondering if anyone noticed.
@Kenny: other way around, the guy from UT3 looks almost exactly like Dom. (which this statement, is true he really does lol)
As long as it isn't like this one, then I'm fine.

I will be buying them the second they come out. and will be ebaying the lambent drone too. i already have every gears toy :-D I just wish that the stupid kim vs raam and locust hive set would already come out! they were supposed to come out last month, then it got pushed to this month, and they still aren't out. I need!
The guy from Gears looks almost exactly like that guy from UT3. Like, exactly.
I like the little gnome warlock statue. But the Tauren one kind of makes me think he's getting ready to disco or something..lol
I wish my figureprint warlock in T6 had the wings out. That looks really cool.
Once upon a time I would get giddy about WoW figures; I even purchased the 3 first series in full; now I kind of want to get rid of most of them...they really serve no purpose...
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: The Gears of War book is actually fairly well written. Karen Traviss is a pretty damn good author too.
Wait, are these out already? Cause it says Comic Con exclusive for one of them, so I was wondering.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I've been wanting to read the Gears of War book(s) at some point, after I finish Gears 2.
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I'm a Gears fan and I'm currently working my way through Atlas Shrugged, having polished off Nineteen Eighty-Four a little while back.
@Dangeresque Wants to Take You For a Ride: We need the real Tier 3 look back. Tier 4 could also be decent, though.

These should be called Cliffy B Ass Pets! We all know what he lays in the seat before sitting down in his Lamborghini, don't we?
He lays down a figure of Baird, so he can finally get some one on one time with his own lame game.
