Gears Of War In Red And Blue Bronze

Via the Mindzeye Studios comes these three 12-inch tall Gears of War bronze collector’s statues of a Boomer, Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago.

All three are limited to a production run of one hundred and priced at US$125. The statues are cast in bronze — bronze is heavy! For example, the Boomer weighs a whopping 11 pounds!

All three are Comic-Con 2009 exclusives.

Exclusives! [Comic-Con Thanks, Matthew!]

    also, someone should do a Yellow one and try to convince the friends it's a "videogamer oscar" he won for his performance on Live. Or not.

    Those are ugly

  • Gargus

    Im impressed, something to do with gears of war and its not limited to the color scale variations of gun metal and dirt.

    And the likeness is amazing its like real world renditions of the game itself, those statues just stand there emotionless, with nothing to say, dripping with so much manly cliched hollywood testosterone that their necks look like a 100 year old oak tree sections. All while wearing half of a car for armor and swinging around their completely heterosexual alpha male cocks.... JUST LIKE IN THE GAME

    Now all they need to do is sell a set of 17,239 chest high walls to go with those statues and it will be complete.

    @-[[CHoZO]]-: they look absolute hideous and that is coming from an avid gears fan, i would not want that anywhere in my house

  • shmesley

    first thought: must be a new heavy model for TF2

  • turkish101

    This.... pretty much encapsulates everything that's wrong with this game. These things are hideous, and even worse with the colors.

    Seriously, Rob Liefeld flashback.

    I'm surprised they even painted them.. I mean bronze fits perfectly in that brown muddy world of Gears of War! This is as bright as the colours will ever get

  • odinkorn

    LOL when i saw this post,before reading it,i thought these were going to be in like Happy meals lol. Remind me of the DBZ ones they had going for a bit in the happy meals : /

  • breadtruck

    Im sure this is how it went down

    @Đipic: Please no! I'll never learn these Blazblue Jin combos with burned limbs!

  • excel_excel

    @Đipic: BURN HIM AT THE STAKE

  • UncleMark

    @SHOWTIME!: Fair enough, but maybe if they had added more varied colors on the people themselves, the guns wouldn't stand out so much. Then again, that was likely the intention.

  • DreamDivision

    I think they went a little overboard with their Tron cosplays.

    @Erignamatic: Ohmehgawd, you slighty messed up an lame internet meme! What a loser you are!

  • Erignamatic

    @laa97: It sure is! What's funny is that I was intentionally TRYING to avoid using 'Profit' in favor or something slightly less common.

    Oh well, I tried and failed. These statues are quite awesome, though!

  • CoatedTrout

    Be nice if they were painted.

  • CoatedTrout

    @Go Go Gadget: Gizmo: Hey, [REDACTED] was really sad :(

  • laa97

    @Erignamatic: For f's sake dude, it's profit. PROFIT.

    @conman577: Heh, reminds me of when they were saying there were definitely some tear-jerking moments in Gears 2, and that main characters die and it's very emotional, not just a gritty game like the first.

    Well, I lol'd.

  • hot_heart

    @Erignamatic: Ironically, 'success' was where you went wrong.

    Now, off the internet. Off! And don't come back until you can remember five lolcats.

    @Kermad: Ah well, I tried! I suppose I should have yelled FIRST and proclaimed it a slow news day. Then make an too-soon MJ death joke.

    WHERES MY WIFE? BAWWWWWWWWWWWW
    Oh wait, we bronzed her.

  • SHOWTIME!

    @UncleMark: meh, then it would just look like a colorful blob, you need to put some contrast in so people can more easily recognize the statue.

  • Hellicus

    @Erignamatic: FAIL

  • UncleMark

    I wish the guns were colored too.

    @UncleMark: DAMN ME AND MY EYES.

    Now we just need a white colored version of Anya and we'll have patriotism without any claims of sexism. Everyone wins!

    @Gofthick: For once, I have to chuckle at a "lol no culur" post.

    mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta

  • Gofthick

    That's the most colour I've ever seen in an article pertaining to Gears of War!

  • hot_heart

    I just blue myself

  • mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta

    I'd prefer pewter, though this is definitely GAR enough to satisfy my manly sensibilites.

    1. Take any figurine or figure.

    2. Bronze the F*** OUT OF IT.

    3. Coat with appeasing color.

    4. ???

    5. Success!

  • Isentropic_Storm

    @UncleMark: I personally like the guns having the "metal" finish to them. If the entire statue was blue or red, I think it would look, as SHOWTIME! mentioned, a colorful blob.

    I actually feel they could use a bit more of a palette, but at least they used black to bring out the detail work. The base looks sweet, too.
